The Bidding

The Bidding

tracing with one no trump. Mrs.
Banfield in the West made an in
formatory double to show a power
full hand.
North passed and her partner
in the East turned the informa-
tory double into penalty double
by passing. South redoubled. This
redouble is what is known as a
rescue re-double asking partner to
take out in his best four card suit.
Mrs. Banfleld passed and North

Mountain Lions
And Wolves Scarce

In a district embracing five rang
es of mountains near Nogales and
Tucson there are 1,187 javelinas Or
peccaries who flee from IS black
Or brown and three silvertip bears
who also are deadly enemies of the
210 mountain sheep, it was estinn-
ated yesterday by rangers reports
to- Fred Winn, supervisor of the
Coronado national forest, which is
composed of the Catalina, Rincon,
Santa Rita, Chiricl1uas and Hua-
chuca mountains
The estimates are included in q
new census Of game, predatory and
fur bearing animals in the nation
al forest reserve.
There are 1890 wildcats in the
district, which means that there are
200 more Wildcats than coyotes.
Mountain lions are estimated to
number 80, while wolves total 16.
Turkeys are scarce, numbering
only 65 in the entire district How
ever, besides competing for life with
the bear, lion, coyote, wildcat, wolf
and other turkeys, the competition
of 2,840 foxes, 440 badgers and 7,100
skunks must be met. And that, say
the rangers, is not counting the
ATS raccoons.
Ten thousand to so are the odds
of deer to antelope, the deer claim
ing the largest number.
Despite the 1914 animal enemies
arrayed against them, the batting
average of the turkeys remains near
the top, for of their total number
of Is only four suffer death from

There is almost humorous note
in this snare which fate seemed to
cast about Washington's heart. With
him was his faithful servant Bish-
op, whom General Braddock had
turned over to him, and whom
Washington instructed to stay by
their horses until dinner was over.
The old orderly well knew his mas
ter's punctuality and took it for
granted that the pause at the
Charnberlayne home would be a
brief. one. But dinner passed, the
sun sank lower in the West, and
still washington had not emerged.
At last, so the story goes, Bishop
was ordered to Stable the horses for
the night. 1t was only too evident
that George Washington had found
business that to him was more I'M
po-tant at the moment than his
e-rand with the Governor.
On the next day the journey to
Williamsburg was resumed, but no
sooner was the business with the
Governor transacted than Washing

I on June 5, the deeply smitten young
Virginia colonel must have been ir
high spirits, for he took with him
the lady's promise to wed him
soon as his military service o.
Ohio was finished.
To this day there is a vdispu$
to whether the wedding Of Geo &c
and Martha Washington occurred
at the brides home or at st. Peters
Church in Williamsburg, but the
rector of st. Peters, the Reverand
Mr.. Mossom, is known to have Of
ficiated at the ceremony, and the
date of the marriage is fixed by
Jared Sparks as of January 6, 1859
Wherever the event occurred, it was
a notable and brilliant affair, with
the Governor, the military and civil
authoritiee, and the socially elite
in attendance.
George Washington was arrayed
as the most brilliant figure in the
whole assemblage. Naturally so i'm
portant a matter as the brides at
tire was not to be lost in oblivion,
and we know that Martlla's wedding
gown was ''a satin quilt, over which
heavy white silk, interviewer with
threads. of silver, was looped back
with white satin ribbons, richly
brocaded in leaf pattern. There
were close elbow sleeves revealing
a puff and frill of lace. Strings OF
pearls were woven IN and out OF
her powdered hair. Her high-heel-
ell slippers were of white Eatin,
with brilliant buckles
Martha Washington had been
born Martha cambridge. At the age
Of seventeen she married Col. Dan
iel Parke Custis, a wealthy man
who died eight years after their
marriage, leaving her two children
and the mistress of large fortune.
After her wedding to George Wash
ington, months had still to elapse
before the happily welded pair
could settle down at Washington's
estate of Mount Vernon. Having
been elected to the House Of Bur
gerse5, Washington was obliged to
attend its sessions, and the couple
remained at Williamsburg until May,
1859. Then they went to the beauti-
full estate on the Potomac, to make
it their home for the rest OF their
lives, and to leave it a shrine for
ever to millions of American who
hold in reverent memory every in
cident in their life together.

RETURN TO FIRST PRINCIPLES.

New forces and strange tendencies
have steered us far from safe moor
ings The time has come in the ma
tons life for return to funda-
mentals and first principles. In nc
other way can you find starting
point again for sound thinking and
constructive planning" says Governo,
Richie of Maryland.
I'VE began with a simple and unique
system of State and Federal sovereign
ties. We devised a well-thought-out
and workable division of powers be-
tween them. We embodied our phi
losophy of liberty in an all-sufficient
Bill Of Rights. And now by sheer
Federal usurpation and supine indif-
ference we have seen powers and re-
sponsibilities of the states surrender
ed, rights and privileges of the indi-
vidual destroyed and the functions Of
local self-government steadily and
progressively weakened.

the American people is against our

Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Others are
being organized in half dozen other
states.
The result Of this condition is the
Generalization of two industries whose
continued progress is bound up in the
welfare of the motorist. or course it
is the motorist who is being gypped
by the bootlegger in the final analysis
while the fuel and motor industries
suffer with him because Of the ped
ding of inferior fuels, damage done
to engines, and vicious price cutting
which the bootlegger INDUCES in.
A boost of the tax to 4 cents asks
motorists to pay 00OO,0Oo-that is
s3O,0OO,0OO more for their gasoline
than in 1881. Add to that registration
fees amounting to s4o,o0o,ooo annual
ly, and New York motorists would be
forced to pay over slOo,ooo,0Oo annual
ly for the right to drive.
This is excessive taxation and in
vites grief upon two essential in.

FACTORS AGAINST GAS TAX
BOOST.

Legislators of the state Of New York
before acting on the proposal to
double the gasoline tax from 2 cents
to cents a gallon, should carefully
weigh some striking evidence furnish
ed by the boosting of gas taxes to ex-
cessive rates in other states.
Experience has shown that a gaso-
line tax above cents gallon is an
irresistible temptation to TAX dodgers.
Also, beyond a certain point any tax
gets too high to be collectible. In
states where the rate is 4, 5, 6 and 7
cents, evasion has become a scandle
comparable to bootlegging of liquor
Investigation SHOWS that throughout
the country the gasoline tax racket
robs states OF something like $780,
100000 annually.
It is estimated that in Pennsylvania
where a accent tax was in effect ir
1929 and for the first 6 months Of
$780, gasoline tax evasion cost the

RELIEF A LA HOOVER.

At last we have the figures on the disposition of the
first billion dollars distributed by the government through
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. We advise all
the unemployed to read these figures carefully in order
that they might see the great benefits they are reaping
through the Hoover method of bringing back prosperity.
In the first place, the banks got the biggest cut, CAB
million dollars. This includes the 80 million voted by
the then president of the Corporation, Charles Gates
Dawes, to his own bank, the Central Trust Company of
Illinois. After receiving this amount Dawes resigned
from the Corporation. Who wouldnt?
The railroads got a nice cut of 214 million. Even with
this fat cut the railroads feel that they have to cut the
wages of their workers, not their officials, in order to
compete with bus transportation.
Then came the mortgage loan companies with "a nil
lion dollars. With the IA million from the government,
these loan companies feel that they must still foreclose
on the poor worker.
The insurance companies got a mere 60 million dollars.
Of course they needed it for all of their funds are tied
up in railroad bonds, and with the unemployed commit
ting suicide and dying Of starvation they needed quite a
bit. of ready cash.
Last but not least the building and loan associations
received a paltry 81 million. But let the owner of build
ing and loan stock try to cash in on it.
Now, Mr.. Unemployed Worker, you get what is left
of that first billion; not one red cent.
