that, however unfortunate it NAV seem,

give game birds and animals the only

The sportsman is willing to forego
hunting for a time in consideration of
the better shooting he expects to be
able to enjoy by reason of allowing
the game to multiply. The landowner,
as general proposition, doesn't value
quail on his land merely because they
whistle Bob White" or deer because
they leave tracks by the brook. He
values both quail and deer because he
enjoys shooting or eating them, or be-
cause. their presence on his land attracts
hunters who will pay him for the privi-
lcgc of shooting them-or at them.
II these statements are true-and thcv
arc certainly in keeping with human ma
ture-to forbid the killing Of game for
a period, say, Of four or five wears
would almost certainly produce condi-
tons far more prejudicial to game con-
servatlon than are those existing under
present laws. Mr.. Boyle is of the
opinion that the landowners and HINT
erS-there would be no more sportsmen
except in the academic sense-wouId
constitute a "game-hog army" whose
slogan would be, I'll get mine while
the getting is good"
Extreme legislation seldom serves its
purpose; it can never do so il it runs
counter to natural laws. What Texas
needs to protect its game is a short open
season, with rigid enforcement OF the
law IN all seasons and propagation of

She didn't. Neither of them ever

but they have spent more carefully

Roentgen, discoverer Of the N-Ray,
who died ri Munich recently. was at

might think that this should go with

that mankind has been greatly bene-

it is possible for a person to be in
strumcntal in promoting human well

in view. Some great discoveries have
been made by accident Not always
does the discoverer know Just what
effect his discovery will produce

MULTIPLE TAXATION

Much that /, being said nowadays il
advocacy OF measures to prevent tax
lodging" would be unworthy Of a high
school graduate. 1t would not dc
credit to full-grown man who could
not write his own name. But OF all
the tax talk that has been turned loose
OF late upon the unsuspccting public
assertions imputed to a member OF the
faculty OF the University OF Texas re
fleet about the least amount OF real
thinking.
1t is indisputabIy true that the tax
burdens are not distributed cquitably.
Some property is escaping Just taxation,
and some is not being taxed sufficiently.
Whether the biggest part OF the re-
sources OF this state is almost entirely
escaping taxation, as the University
man referred to is represented as
charging. may be a question. But that
is not the alleged assertion which may
tax the credulity OF those who have
always held the University in high es-
TEEN. What may cause eXciteUent
among the patrons Of that institution
is the statement, attributed to the faculty
member in question. that the state is
losing most OF the revenue to which it
is entitled because there is no Collcctible
tax on Floating property, such as
bonds, mortgages. ct Cctcra.'
Such property. he is supposed to have
said, "can be reached only by means
OF all income tax, or taXcSfoi that ma
ture" Without reading further, one
would assume that the professor. il
he actually said these things. was adj
vocating an income tax law for Texas.
It is to be hoped that he has been
misquoted, and that. in case he hasn't
been, the University will disclaim re-
sponsibiIity for his remarks. Already
there arc in the statute books enough
vicious tax laws to discount the natural
opportunities which Texas offers to the
enterprising.
A bond Is not property. 1t is evidence
of Indebtedness. What takes place when
a corporation issues bonds The cor
poratiOn prOcurcs money and puts it
to work, giving the lenders bonds which
represent their loans; the bonds Consti-
tute a first lien upon the corporations
property. But the corporations prop
erty, by reason OF the money thus pro-
cured, becomes more valuable intrin-
siCally. The proceeds from the sale OF
the bonds may be invested in machinery,
for example. Then what happens: The
corporations property as whole IS
taxed; the amount Of the assessment in
Cludcs the yaluc Of the machinery. MIR

COAL
FIELDS PURCHASED
BY MANUFACTURER

Henry Ford is preparing to de-
throne the kings of coal and bring
cheer to tens OF thousands of Ameri-
can householders. Press dispatches
from Detroit within the last few
days give official confirmation that
the automobile manufacturer has
purchased 10000 acres of undevelop-
ed coal lands in Kentucky with a re-
serve coal supply of 100000, 900 TONS
This property, added to other coal
lands previously acquired, brings the
total acreage of such land owned by
the manufacturer to 165,000 Mr..
Fords latest purchase is said to have
cost him around $4,00O,000.
From these holdings Mr., Ford
hopes within year to mine suffi-
cient coal to supply all his factories
in every part of the country, all the
factories and mills manufacturing
various products for his own con-
Germs, as many other industries in the
Detroit district as care to buy coal
from him, and have fuel left suffi-
cient to supply large part of the do
mestic demand of the section af-
fected.
Remove Gas Only.
Perhaps the best part Of this news
Is that Mr.. Ford will ask all indus
trial users Of his coal to install fur
naces that will remove only the gas
and similar substances, leaving a
fuel unimpaired for domestic pur-
poses. The coal. after this process,
still will be sold at about half mo-
nopoly rates to domestic consumers
The fuel remaining after the gas has
been taken out, it is claimed, will be
even more valuable for home-heating
purposes than before.
The latest purchase, located in
parts of five counties of Kentucky,
centers in Clay county. The land is
covered with what is described as
one of the finest stands of oak trees
in the United States.
There are 100000, 900 feet Of this
timber ready for the axe, but al
though the Ford industries use 200,-
100000 feet of lumber every year,
not foot of that standing in Ken
lucky is to find its way either to mar
ket or into Ford's products. 1t is his
purpose to use the surface of the
ground for scientific research work
and experiments in reforestation
while miners are digging underground
to bring up the coal.
The Ford industries will first be
supplied with COAL and there will be
no trouble in disposing of the ex-
cess. One thousand Michigan manu-
featuring firms already have made
application to obtain their complete
supplies from this source.
