TAX ON LUMBER WHEN
1T IS CUT, PROPOSED

F. W. Beslev. State Forester. soon
will appear before the Maryland Tax
Commission to argue for revision of
the tax laws as they applied to timber
lands. In statement yesterday he
said the present system is unjust in
principle and that it puts a premium
on the devastation of forest land. Mr..
Besley said the assessment made upon
forest land is higher than that upon
arabic land. and that the tax rate is
correspondingly higher.
The injustice Of such a plan is that
the farmer pays an annual tax on land
which yields him nothing until har-
vesting of the timber is made. which
can be only every few years, Mr. Bes-
ley said
The plan he will push will be that
of a yield" tax. to he laid when the
timber is cut. The assessors, he says,
should take the production value as
the basis Of the tax.

GRID.
DEFINITELY SETTLED
FOR NOVEMBER ;

Satisfied that the breach in athletics
between Colgate and Lehigh have
rendered impossible the playing OF
the football game tetween those two
institutions on November 3, Naval
Academy authorities announced to-
day that the tentative arrangement
entered into by which the midshipmen
would meet Colgate on that date have
been finally closed. The contest will
be staged at the Academy.
The naval authorities were unaware
of any two-year contract between Le-
high and Colgate when negotiations
for game with the latter at Annapo-
lis were first opened. They therefore
took the stand that under no circum-
stances would arrangements be closed
until satisfactory information had
been received from both Lehigh and
Colgate that the existing contract was
upset. Such information has come to
hand and formal announcement was
made that Colgate will come here on
the date above named. 1t will be Col
gates first appearance at Annapolis
for a gridiron battle.

BARGAIN DAYS To

Railroads Offering Special In

Who Advertises Sales

ST. PAUL, Jan. 25.-Bargain days
on railroads.&c. Offering of special
inducements to equalize passenger
and freight traffic under the same
principle that the modern merchant
advertises sales TO stimulate trade at
times which otherwise would be rated
dull--were advanced today by Charles
M. Babcock. Minnesota commissioner
of highways, toward ameliorating
railroad ills in the United States
More or less slack periods as well
as those of traffic congestion make up
rail transportation problems, accord
ing to press reports" said Mr.. Bah
cock I'm my opinion, adoption by
railroad managers OF the business
stimulants and methods employed by
the successful merchants OF today
will go far toward solving the prob
lens. Many commodities can be
moved as well in one month as an
other and inducements in the form OF
freight rate reductions in the social
ed dull months, / believe, would
elualize the now seasonal movement.
The same would apply to passenger
travel, although in a lesser degree
perhaps. Bargain days on our rail-
roads could be made TO work for the
mutual advantage of carriers and
shippers"

Seasonal Rate Reductions

Traffic experts of long experience
said that proposed legislation now
pending in Congress provides for sea
sonal rate reductions to promote the
shipping of coal in certain months
but credited Commissioner Babcock
with originating the proposal to
broaden the plan
Building material shipments offer
a simple example," continued Mr.
Babcock, cement can be shipped al
most as well in one month as another
and every car of cement for construc-
tion takes others OF lumber and stee
and various materials entering build
ing and also exempt from seasonal
shipping conditions All that seems
necessary to move such freight to the
best advantage and convenience OF
the carriers is cut rate inducement
and it must be enough only to slightly
more than offset the investment
charges. Return loads and other de-
tails probably can be worked out with
little difficulty once the plan is under
taken"
