as the farm relief program, Mississippi

Dams construction-will obviate reduce
ton of taxes. Representative Hawley,
head Of the House ways and means
committee, takes q similar position on
the effect Of the heavy congressional
appropriations. but has hopes of con-
ditions favorable for the program.
One important unofficial body, which
follows closely this legiSlatior-the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States-haS taken steps recently tndi-
eating that 1t has an optimistic OUT
look for the accomplishment Of tax re-
duction. The chamber has organized
a committee to study the question,
headed by Fred w. Sargent, president
Of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
road, which held meeting few weeks
ago to map out the chambers policies.
The chamber recently outlined its
position on Federal taxation as that
with the national debt reduced nearly
$4,000, 000,00 since the close of the
ment now brought more nearly to The
orderly routine of normal times, aid
with large SURPRISES accruing in recent
years in the National Treasury, it seems
obvious that Federal taxes should now
be levied with the economic welfare OF
the country steadily in view." At the
same time it Indicated that 1t would
seek a decrease of the present raIe Of
IL per cent on corporation incomes, de-
claring 1t "burdenSome on productive
enterprise and a discrimination against
the corporate form of business"
What may be new code Of ethics
for American business Is being COM
piled by the Federal Trade Commission
the rules of business conduct and
methods adopted by Sc industries at
trade practice conferences. The COM
mission has passed upon and approved
all the rules some 300-with the aim
of inducing self-regulation by Amer
lean industry. !.
The rules prescribe strongly illegal
price discrimination, breach OF contract
and commercial bribery as business
methods and lay down high standard
of trade practices for the industries.
Among the Sc industries are the petro-
leum producers, motion pictures, period
icai publishers, grocery, fertilizer. glass,
scrap iron and steel, textiles, wood
working and paint and varnish indus.

$1,000 Figures in Painting.

Tidadar CSontvary, Hungarian artist,
was given to painting very large pic
lures. His work. Pantheon de la
Guerre," which was shown in this coun-
try, contained 5000 portraits and about
1000 other figures. 1t took four years
to complete it and he had many help
ers. The area of the canvas is about
one-half acre. He was responsible for
several other large paintings and since
his death his executors are at loss to
dispose Of them, since there are very
few suitable places that can accom-
modate works of such size.

CATION of local conditions by Compel
ent mechanical and chemical en-
gineers retained by the company has
been conducted during the past sew
eral months with the result that appli-
cation has been made for the neceS-
sary franchise.
Heretofore the large cost Of a gas
manufacturing plant of small capacity
has made it impossible to supply the
customers with this splendid fuel ex-
cept at cost that has made its use
prohiHtive. Recent Developments
and improvements in the manufactur-
ing OF gas have now made it posi-
BILE TO economically serve commune
ties OF five to six thousand in popu-
lation according to Byrd Brownell,
manager of the company.
1t is proposed if franchise can be
received promptly, to start construc-
ton of plant and mains at once with
the thought of having installation
complete and in operation before
ground freezes.
The installation of a gas plant in
Ely should be distinct asset to the
city, placing it on a par with many
larger cities which have long enjoyed
this most convenient and economical
service.
The adding of gas manufacturing
and distribution for the present bust
ness of the Vermillion Electric viii
make it necessary TO increase the
of the company and it is un-
derstood that Russell Barret of Hib-
oing will become associated with the

NEW MONEY
BEING SHOWN

Samples of the new bills have been
received by both the banks In this
city and are being displayed in the
windows of the institutions and have
attracted considerable attention The
new money will not be placed in gen.
eral circulation until some time in
July.
The new bills, which have been in
process of making for several months
are 5-16 by 11-16 inches in size, or
two-thirds the size of the present cur
rency. The new bills constitute the
first change in the size of our paper
money since 1861. The reduced size
of the bills is the result of study on
the part of the Treasury Department
to find some way in which the paper
currency could be produced more rap
idly and also be made to wear longer
The reduction in size makes it posi-
BILE for the United States Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing at Washing
ton. D. c., to make twelve notes in
stead of eight from one sheet and III
one operation, thereby raising the
productive capacity of the plant by
so per cent. The saving in material
is, of course, obvious. In addition, as
the smaller bills will require less
folding, they will last much longer
and remain in better condition than
the present size currency. They are
the same size as the bills in use in
the Philippine Islands, and it was
the longer life and greater convent
ence of these bills that suggested the
change.
In the small bills all unnecessary
patterns have been eliminated and
the new notes have been simplfled by
the adoption of single characters
tic design for each denomination. The
portraits appearing on the face OF the
new currency are as follows: 81 bills,
Washington; 81 bills, Jefferson; IS
bills, Lincoln; $40 bills, Hamilton;
$40 bills, Jackson; $50 bills, Grant;
500 bills, Franklin; $500 bills, Nc
Kinley; $1,000 bills, Cleveland; $4,000
bills. Madison; $4,000 bills, Chase.
For the first time the signature of the
Secretary of the Treasury appears on
each bill whatever its variety and de-
nomination.
Printing of the old currency ceased
on April LIST and none has been issued
since that time. However, as there
are over 900,OO0,000 pieces of the old
currency in ciculation, it is believed
that it will take several months to
substitute the new bills for the old.
This will be done as rapidly as pos
sible, the old money being retired as
soon as it reaches the treasury in the
shape of worn out currency.

RUFFED GROUSE
To BE STUDIED

Under a cooperative agreement be-
tween the University of Minnesota,
the bureau of biological survey of the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the Sporting Arms and AM
munition Manufacturers institute,
Minnesota is to become the home of
an important study of the life and
habits of the ruffed grouse, one of the
most famous of American game birds.
The grouse, known throughout
northern Minnesota as the partridge
is now near the bottom of one of the
marked population cycles through
which it passes, ranging from very
numerous to very scarce Various
theories have been advanced to ex-
plain the rise and fall of its numbers.
one of which is that the bird popula-
ton is decimated by tularemia, the
rabbit disease.
According to DR.. r. N. Chapman,
professor OF economy zoology at the
University Of Minnesota, no complete
explanation of the grouse population
cycles has ever been discovered. This
is the problem on which the univer-
sity is to work, using $1,000 a year for
three years given by the sporting arms
institute and receiving cooperation
from the bureau of biological survey.
A research worker will be employed
on the task and will carry forward
his work under the direction of DR..
Chapman.
The potential rate Of reproduction
OF the ruffed grouse under natural
conditions viii be studied. With this
rate known as a basis, an effort will
be made to learn the factors that dis
turb it at times when the grouse pop
ulation falls below normal
As bird familiar to everyone who
visits the northern parts of the state.
the partridge" is one of Minnesota's
most interesting feathered citizens.
