the American Nature Association.
Next in Importance is female silver
gibbon which is probably the hand
soonest and gentleSt member of the
anthropoid family. This creature with
its thick. silvery fur is considered the
most graceful of apes as it swings from
bar to bar of its cage. 1t is a delicate
animal and is being kept in a glass case
to protect it from drafts and from re-
Spiratory infections which it might re-
ceive from visitors.
Of Small Sumatra Type.
Its companion in this case is the
small Sumatra gibbon. much less
handsome MEMBER of the family. Before
the arrival OF the silver gibbon yeSter-
day the Sumatra gibbon was showing

PENNSY[ [VANTA
MAY END HARD
COAL TAX

HARRISBURG, Dec. IL 0.N.S).-
Residents of other States who blame
the high price of anthracite on the
tax imposed by Pennsylvania on
that product may get relief after
the next session of the legislature,
which convenes in January.
Governor John s. Fisher has
promised organization active to
secure repeal of the tax that In
any program of possible tax redlic-
ton the anthracite levy Will be the
first considered. With the gov
ernor's backing and large delega-
ton in both houses OF the leglsla-
ture interested in repeal such
step is possible.
Effect on Prices
Whether or not such repeal VIII
mean much change in retail prices
is problematical. The chances are
that the average buyer will benefit
but little.
Even in Pennsylvania few people
remember that the tax is but III
per cent of the value OF the coal
ready for market and at the mouth
OF the mine. Freight charges and
other handling more than doubles
the cost of the coal at the mine.
The average. tax is little more
than 10 cents on each ton.
When the tax first became effec-
tive anthracite buyers found that
prices were boosted from Is to so
- a Ann Tho id
that part Of the increase above the
keeping with which they had been
sadd1ed by the State.
Conditions Changed
Conditions In the anthracite field
now are much different from those
in effect in 1921 when the tax was
imposed. Anthracite operators since
that time have felt the steady en-
croachment of oil-burning equip
ment in homes and an increased
bituninous consumption when an
thracite prices became, too high.
The disposition now Is to regain
and hold markets rather than to
impose additional excuses for large
profits.
Repeal of the anthracite tax has
been made possible by the change
in Pennsylvania financial condi-
ton since it's imposition. At that
time the Commonwealth was having
difficulty in meeting current bills.
Additional sources of revenue had
to be found to keep the State sol.
vent. Now the treasury balance is
around $50 100000, of which S25,-
100000 is in the general fund from
which current demands are met.
