NATIONAL PARKS
MONOPOLY CHARGED
BY Universal Service.

WASHINGTON, Ang. lo.-LeglS-
lation TO end the system of monopoly
control Of Grand Canyon, Yellowstone.
Yosemite, Glacier and other national
parks and relieve tourists Of annoy
ances to which they are now subjected,
will be demanded of the next session
of Congress, members of the Senate
Public Lands Committee asserted to-
day.
After a partial investigation of
Grand Canyon National Park, i'll Ari-
IONA, the committee will now probe
conditions in Yellowstone and Eose-
mite Parks.
Portions of the testimony taken at
the Grand Canyon made public to-
day, reveal a startling condition OF
affairs with private monopolies In
full swing.
GEAR OF PARK.
Stephen I. Hather, a holdover of
the Wilson administration, according
to testimony, has had an absolutely
free hand in granting concessions and
drafting rules for control of the park.
During the hearing, Senator Ashurst,
member of the committee, brought
out that all visitors to the park have
their handbags searched before being
permitted to enter.
One reason for this is that Mather
has ruled that no dogs nor firearms
shall be allowed within the park.
Another rule prohibits picking Of
flowers.
During the examination Of J. r.
Eakin, superintendent Of the Park,
Ashurst said:
AROUSES ASHURST. -.
"The secretary of the interior pub
lished, at enormous expense, great
posters and much literature inviting
the people to come to the national
parks and be the guests of Uncle
Sam.
at seems to me that when poor
man goes into the parks he is smashed
in the nose as soon as he gets
there.
ITO decline to allow an old lady
to pick a flower; to decline to allow
citizen to bring any weapon, es-
pecially in his car, when the Con-
stitution grants him that right, and to
refuse to allow him to have a dog,
these rules, give the impression that
the parks are administered for the
rich, and that the poor man is not well
come"

last street has been paved and most
of the paved streets are open to traf-
fic which gives to this city the ap-
pesrance of a wide-awake place that
is fully up to the many advantages
it has TO offer TO not only the tour
list but to the business man. There is
secrecy a day that new people are not
here looking for a location for some
kind Of business and notwithstanding
the many new bushes srooms that
have been built in the last year it is
difficult to find a vacant room in the
city.
The United States census of 1920
gave this place few more than 5000
people and a conservative estimate TO-.
day would be 1000, with more ARRIVING

erly housing the grent influx of peo-
pie who come here for the winter is
again a serious one. Al Of the new
residences are occupied and those un-
der construction are rented often be.

in a few isolated instances there were
minor downward fluctuations.
The steel industry witnessed much
better month than it had anticipated.

SOL|D|TY
DEPENDS ON
FOUNDATION
This is the fourteenth OF series
Of articles by Elwood Lloyd, well
known financial expert, on the
successful financing Of the home.
BY ELWOOD LLOYD

The solidity and stability of all
buildings depend upon the care with
which the foundations are built. This
is true of institutions and businesses
as well-for if the foundation be not
well placed and carefully laid, the
entire structure is likely TO fall apart
with the passage of time.
The first year in the married life
of young couple might well be
termed the foundation building period,
for upon the manner in which life
and its necessary adjustments are
recognized during the first year de-
pend to a large degree the success of
the years TO follow. Because this is
true we shall take the first year and
its relationships.
As / have stated elsewhere, this
series is not an expression of my
own personal theories Of life, but on
the contrary, is a compendium of
experiences of many persons. So, l
have gathered expressions of others
on the topic of the first year. as has
been the case in the other PHASES dis
cISsed

MATTER o. MONEY.

Edith Bristol. one Of my good co.
workers gives the following expires
sions as concerning the problems which
must be faced and met during the
first year:
If there is ever time when matri.
mony is apt TO become a matter o
money, it is during that first year
The First Year is the title Of Q
comedy Of domestic problems which
proved a tremendous success. The
first year has also been the theme
for mony a bitter. though undrama.
tized and unwritten, tragedy.
Often it is, needIessly enough
based on that same matter o. money
"The underlying difficulty which
many very young wives-and possibly
young husbands. too-encounter, Is
that caused by thinking Of the weekly
or monthly pay-check in terms Of dol
lars in place Of in the terms Of the
things dollars buy.
TO the bride, who, before marriage.
has had very little money to handle
perhaps small dress allowance from
dada salary check Of, say 5000. may
look big enough to pay off the national
debt
SPEND CONSERYATIyELY.
IF it looks so large on payday, the
bride Of a year or less may be in
.clined to think that il will cover any
thing and stretch TO unlimited lengths.
That's because she is thinking of it in
terms Of dollars.
But let her become accustomed to
thinking of that same check in terms
of rent or shelter, Of food. of heat, of
light, Of clothing. Of hospitality or in
cidentals, Of dentist or plumber bills
and how it shrinks. 1t is much less
money when it becomes things than
when it was dollars. Consequently il
is apt to be spent more cOnserVatively.
THE wife, who has beer an Garner
before marriage will have another
angle to consider-that Of making the
salary check cover the needs and the
wishes Of two individuals in place of
one. Often these two will be indiyid-
uals Of widely different taste in money
spending and the things that money
buys.
ADJUSTMENT PERIOD.
at seems to me that the first year
must be largely a period Of adjustment
in money matters, as well as in GUS
toms and interests and so many other
phases Of married life. IL is more
necessary TO compromise, l believe, in
that first u months than in any other
period. Not for one Of the partner
ship 10 give up entirely 10 the wishes
OF the other, in financial affairs any
more than on any other aspect Of life.
THE second thing, I think. after
learning that money is not dollars,
after all. but is their equivalent 10
things, is to learn that spending money
is matter Of careful choice. That Is,
II you choose 10 do one thing with a
certain so, It can do that one thing
and no more. So the things that It
can't buy should be dismissed from the
mind.
IF 50 out Of the recreation fund Of
the bride and groom goes to pay for
tickets TO the movies in the course Of
month, then that same 50 can't pos
Sibly be spent for tickets 10 the Phil
harmonic. So the young people have
10 learn 10 choose whether they want
the movies more than they DO the sym
pbony. If they can't have BOTH And
with most young people in that first
rc'r the know that they cant have
both.

LEVY ON CAPITAL

Premier Proposes Tax Under

MADRID, December l5.-ReVealinE
for the first time his plan for a capital

Primo de Rivera gave the details OF
the scheme with which he hopes to

ment will then fix Il rate of taxation,
which will certainly be less than l
per cent No tax will be imposed on
earnings and profits, regardless of
their size.
In addition to this single tax. there
will be continued several indirect
taxes, such as on lotteries, tobacco.

iZation OF this plan must be preceded
by an otficIaa inventory of the national
wealth"
The premier said the plan was de
signed primarily To make productive
, dead capital and uncultivated lands
and feudal property, which thus would
become subject to rational and mod
ern exploitation by the state.
