Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, December 3 (NANA).-
How many deer in Massachusetts, this
year are going to be bowled over by
bow and arrow?
For the first time in the history of
Massachusetts, 1t will be permissible to
shoot deer with this ancient implement
of destruction. The season began yes
tsr6ay In certain sections of the State
1t lasts week and in others two weeks.
At the State House, where reports of
the killing of deer must be filed. they
are waiting to learn how large q bow
and arrow record will be noted for the
deer killing season of 1890.
Up to dat. State officials can testify
to the destruction of one telephone

legislative committee hearing propo-
nents of the bow and arrow idea dem

bow and arrow is and what force lies
behind it.
Expert Makes Demonstration.
The man who demonstrated stood of
in the manner of an expert after hav-
ine setup telephone book and released
the bow. Wh-r-r-r, whizZ and bang!
The big fat telephone book had been
completely punctured.
There, you see, gentlemen, how the
bow and arrow works." said he. =
That was in 1929, and the Legislature
turned down the petition to make legal
the hunting of deer with bow and
arrow. When the matter was laid be-
fore a special commission on the revi-

ever the commission could see no re l.

should not be legalized, and 1t was.

Bow and arrow hunters. it now APP

.HAWLEY PROMISES
. MINING TAX STUDY
Tells Industry's Leaders
Doubt Exists as to Equity
OF Depletion System.

A promise that Congress would con-
slider more equitable mining taxation
was given to the American Mining Com
gress at It's annual meeting today at
the Mayf1ower Hotel by Representative
William G. Hawley of Oregon. chairman
OF the joint committee of the House
and Senate on internal revenue taxes,

can Mining Congress About 200 lead
ing coal and metal mine executives and

Coal Co. presided at the morning con-
ference on mechaniZation, sponsored by

session economies of mining operation
and questions affecting future develop
ment of the coal fields and mine
mechanism.
Discussions Are Extended.
The discussions were extended at a
luncheon at which experts went into
more detail regarding questions of
mining operations, economies and the
relief OF burdensome labor by the SUBJ
stitution Of machinery. While this
would eliminate many of the ordinary
pick and shovel men in the mines, 1t
was pointed out that It would create
a greater demand for highly skilled
labor with better pay.
Following the luncheon, the mineral
taxation \ conference of the Mining
Congress met with Paul Armitage of
New York, general chairman of the
Taxation Committee, as the presiding
officer. This conference was attended
by a score of tax experts, who have
given years of study to questions In
volving the taxing of mine properties.
They are cooperating with the pro-
gram of the American Mining Congress
looking to the development Of equip
able mine taxation.
Talks Of Tax Situation.
Representative Hawley, the principal
speaker. told of the work of his Joint
committee. in this respect and also
discussed the general tax situation.
In referring to the activities of the
Congressional Committee, Chairman
Hawley said preliminary report Of its
investigating staff indicates that the
equity of the present mine depletion
system is doubtful. He further assured
the listeners that his committee at q
hearing on December on this subject
would study methods which give some
promise of securing a better distribu-
ton of depletion with greater SIM
plicity."
