Columbia Graphophone, with a
turnover of close to 100000
shares, doomed along to 32H as
rumors of merger of the two
companies flew through the f.

Perfection of practical televi-

enormous profits to accrue to
those making possible this accom-
pliShment.
General Electric reached what
is believed to be it's present objec-
tive in a 3-point rise to 80 and
United States Steel sold about
2 points higher. General Motors
and Chrysler rose ~ each in
response to the reports Of much
better demand for popular cars,
while Skelly led the oils, with a
rise Of 13s to '40b.
The building construction stocks
were active and strong, with
American Radiator above 80 for
the first time this year.
Although stocks were churned
around violently in the second
hour, few of the active stocks
were able to push forward beyond
their opening price levels. The
amusement stocks dropped off
point or two on profit taking.
the oils were unsteady and the
rails and coppers inactive. Call
money was unchanged at 4 per
cent.

Colorado Fuel to Join
Big Steel Unit, Report

NEW YORK, April 4 G.N.SD
That Colorado Fuel and Iron will
find its way into one of the
larger steel units before the end
OF the year was the current view
IN Wall Street today. Strong and
active buying of the stock has
forced the price up since last
week from below so to above &c,
and in speculative circles it is
said that a new group" has
come into the stock.
The most likely buyers of Colo
eado Fuel and Iron at this time
are believed to be the Republic
Iron and Steel interests, though
Wall Street has been unable to
confirm reports of the transfer of
q block of the Rockefeller hold
1ngs of Colorado Fuel to the
Eaton interests in Ohio.
The company reported for 1925
net income of $2,350,000, equiva-
lent to $6!43 a common share,
against $3.50 a share in 1923. A
50-cent cash dividend was paid
on the common stock in Febru-

The Large Flock.
(NeW York Times. )

Before the casualties in last Tuesdays election are all returned and tabuated thought should be given to the extraordinary large number of lame ducks which will soon be quacking in the back yard of the White House. According to venerable if not honorable tradition the Republicans in the House and in the Senate who went down to defeat at the polls entitled to be provided for by the Chief Executive in whose name they fell Appoint ments to sinecure offices expected to follow. But will there be enough vacancies to satisfy the clamorous Republican applicants? Some of them have been inclined to ridcule the Government commissions which MT. Hoover has been fond of creating. But if there places left on the old ones and if he should call for new on their murmurng and complaining would promptly cease.
 Caring for party lame ducks has long been minor scandal in our Government. The mischief is bipartisan Indeed some of the commissions have been carefully voted by Congress so as to provide that only the majority of the membership shall be composed of adherents of party. The obvious design is to make for lame ducks either side. Then there always certain Federal ap- pointments to lesser udgeshps and offices that are ornamental, even if rather poorly paid. For such positions members of Congress who have failed to be reelected always greatly long. But it appears today as if the number of hungry and lame ducks looking up to President Hoover to be fed will be large that many of them will have to seek their food their native remote ponds and dtches, with an occasional kindly "handout' by the farmers wife

ALASKA'S GAME AND FUR AND ITS
 UTILIZATION.

The wholesome condition reported to exist n Alaska's game and fur resources, as outlined by Dr. w H Chase at the opening of the annual meeting of the Alaska Game Commission is highly gratifying It is also substantial evidence that the Commission. which is admittedly seriously handi- capped by lack of funds necessary to give it an adequate field force has made considerable head way with it's enormous task which is being per formed under major difficulties.
 Most Alaskans are convinced that their own Legislature should be the source of the laws ad- ministering the game and fur resources of the Ter ritory and very naturally this conviction tends n some measure to deprive the Commission of the sympathy which is vital to the success of it's work It is to the credit of Alaskans as well as to the Commission itself that this is not as serious as might well be the case. Generally, believe, the Commission realizes it's obligation to the people of the Territory as well as it's purely technical duties of protecting game animals and fur-bearers
 It has a large responsibility to the Territory. This is after all a real pioneer country. Like every other frontier its settlers depend very largely upon it's game for sustenance and it's fur as cash crop This has been true in the whole history of American development and it was due in great measure to the abundance of game and fur and the utilization of them that the American frontier ad- vanced so rapidly from the Alleghanies to the Pa cific Ocean In keeping with this precedence, the
 
 Alaskans to utilize their resources to every possible extent compatible with their security.
 It is a fact that every progressive common wealth has very stringent laws and regulations re- stricting the killing of game and taking of fur Protection has come to be shibboleth throughout the dountry. But Alaska is not a commonwealth yet It has long and difficult road to travel before it acquires the industrial and economic status necessary to attain it. The great and rich States Of today afford the luxury of protection which had it been rigdly forced upon them in their frontier days would have retarded by decades their present substantial development.
 We hope and believe, that the Commission, composed of Alaskans realize these truths and will insist upon the Territory being given the free use of the resources in it's charge Dr. Chase has en- couragngly said there is indication of any de- pleton of game, and only local shortages of some species of fur-bearers. This condition, therefore does not call for more, but if anything less, re- striction as a whole. The Commission, according ly, will be well advised if indicated by its President it makes but few changes in it's present code and in those few it does make aims for lib- erality instead of restraint

THE SCOPE OF THE DEMOCRATIC
 VICTORY.

The sensational gains made in the recent elec- ton by the Democratic Party impressive as the figures are cannot be clearly ysualized except by comparison From a majority of 103 in the House to the threatened loss of control of it's or ganization, and to practical tie in the Senate, is the position in which the Republican Party finds itself in the next Congress
 Only a few times in the history of the nation has such an upset been encountered in the off-year elections by the party in power. Since 1858 in all of the off-year elections that have been held in only four cases has loss of the control of the Senate been the result. This occurred in 1858 1878, 1914 and 1918. Tn the same period only six times has the House been lost to the party in power in mid term elections going to the Republicans four and the Democrats two times.
 In 1858 the Republicans captured control and at the succeeding Presidential election, Lincoln, Re- publican candidate was elected In 1882, the Demo- crats gained control and in 1884, Cleveland was elected President Control of the House again pass ed to the Democrats in 1890 and two years later Cleveland was reelected In 1894, the Republicans captured the House and elected Mckinley in 1896 Tn 1910, the Democrats swept the House in the off-year election and elected Woodrow wilson ln 1912.
 There is therefore tradition almost amount ,ne to rule in our political history that the party gaining control of the House in the off-year elec- tions captures the Presidency two later There has been one exception to this in the past 72 years That occurred in 1874 when the Democrats con- troIed the House but Rutherford B, Hayes defeated Samuel J Tilden for President in 1876 And this election was so close that there reliable authori- ties who contend not without cause, that Tiden was the real choice of the people.
 These records of course, give comfort to the Democrats and are causing more than little

CIGARETTE TAXES YIELD BIG
 REVENUE.

Three dollars in cigarette taxes to the Federal Treasury is the annual per capita payment of every person in the United States according to estimates based figures compiled by the United States Bureau of Internal Revenue. Total cigarette taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30 1930 were S359, 816274, an increase over the preceding year of ST. 864,7 ,723. This increase continued during the first quarter of the present fiscal year because of greater public demand for cigarettes which authorities attr- bute to the removal of harmful irritants by mod ern methods of manufacture such as the toasting process which includes the of the ultraviolet ray. The per capita of cigarettes today is 1000 a year, which the Government collects $500 in taxes Six cents must be paid to the Federal Gov ernment for every package of twenty cigarettes and the stamps must be bought and attached before the cigarettes leave the factory. The tobacco tax was the only general subdivision showing an increase
 the report of Federal receipts for the quarter ended September 30 and cigarettes paid $9788l 800 for the three months, as compared with $96020214 for the corresponding period a year ago
