FINLAYSON

Florence Adelaide Anderson who
was born and raised in the FinlaysCn
community and who passed away in
st. Paul hospital on Nov. 1, was
laid to rest in that city following
funeral services there on Nov. 2. Miss
Anderson had worked in St. Paul for
the past several years and had made
a. large circle of friends who are plan
ming to erect monument in her
memory. Many beautiful flowers at
the funeral bore evidence of the
esteem in which the deceased was
held. Her father. Arne Anderson,
passed away in 1918 and she is sur
vived by her mother of Finlayson,
four brothers and three sisters.
A two mile extension on mail route
No. 1 at FinlaysOn was granted by the
post office department after the serv-
ice had been petitioned for by farm
ers living in and around Section T.
The extension was also recommended
by Postmaster Emil KukkOla because
of the fact that it will accommodate
Is farmers who have heretofore had
to call for their mail at the post
office. The new service will go into
effect on Nov. 16 and those affected
are busy erecting the large mail
boxes now required by law. That Sec
ton of the .FinlaysOn community has
long been denied rural mail serv-
ice due to a short stretch of poor
road but recent road improvement
has made it advisable to recommend
addition of the new mileage by Mr..
KukkOla who is watchful to benefit
his patrons wherever possible.

SENATE TO BEGIN
HEARINGS ON GAME
Problem of Wild Fowl Short.
age to Bring Out Views of
Scientists and Others.

With 400 experts on game invited
to express their views, a special Senate
committee tomorrow will begin a three
day hearing on the conservation Of
wild life resources, the object of which
is to decide upon the best remedy for
the shortage of waterfowl in this
country
The authorities asked to present
their views to the committee include
scientists, heads of State conservation
commissions and representatives of
shooting organizations, all of whom,
for one reason or another, have made
special studies of the waterfowl situa-
tion.
In holding the hearing, it is the
purpose of the committee to determine
Cd the extent Of the shortage of mi
gratory waterfowl, particularly ducks
and geese; CD the underlying causes
OF the shortage, If there is one; CD
how the Federal Government can re-
store the waterfowl population; a. to
what extent the various States can
help in the restoration, and go how
sportsmen can aid In the work.
Several Years Poor.
preliminary statements issued by some
of the experts is the accumulated ef-.
feet of several poor breeding years.
The seriousness of the situation was
recognized last year, when the Gov
eminent cut the wild fowl shooting
season to 80 days.
Sportsmen, however, fearing this tenn
porary conservation measure would be
transformed by sentimentalists into q
permanent prohibition, Immediately be-
came active in seeking a positive rem
aIvy rxrk.f
fowl population and lengthen the shoot
ing season.
During the hearing, special atten-
ton will be given the so-called penny
a-shelP' bill now before Congress-
measure which proposes a tax of /
cent shell on all shotgun ammunition.
with a rebate to trapShooters. The
proceeds of this tax, estimated al
about 100000 year, would be used
to increase pheasants, grouse, quail
rabbits, ducks and other wild game in
whose survival all American sportsmen
are interested.
Diversion Of Revenue.
The bill proposes that per cent of
the revenue obtained through the
"penny-a-shell" tax shall be appor-
TONED the Department of Agriculture
for administration research The bal
oASS WOdiO DC over 10 STATE
game departments for increasing upland
game and to Federal agencies for en-
largement OF breeding, refuge and con-
centration areas, IS per cent of the bal
ance going to the former and As per
cent to the latter. The State funds
would be apportioned according to the
number of hunting licenses issued in
each State. Discussing the measure
yesterday Col. Arthur F. Foran of the
More Game Birds in America Founda-
ton, said:
The bill was drawn in its present
form to play fair with States having
little duck shooting. Not only will
larger proportion of the duck hunters
tax be used for upland game work, but
the duck hunter also uses more shells
than the average upland game hunter.
and his total tax therefore would be
heavier"

tions the number seems to be gaining
gradually.
The Department of Commerce has
estimated that the average tourist or
vacationist sp-nds SIS in the city he
visits The Greater National Capital
Committee estimates that the average
tourist spends two days in Washington.
The committee, through publicity
and by means of the courtesies ex-
tended at its tourist booths is attempt
ing to keep the tourist business at its
present high point or to increase it.
Since it was organized the committee
has distributed about 100000 words
Of publicity about Washington and sew

has gone to metropolitan newspapers,
to smaller newspapers within a radius
Of 200 miles of Washington, to maga-
zines and to trade publications. The
committee hes also distributed maps
and booklets and large two-colored
posters to the number of several hun

United States and to Europe.
At the tourist information booths on
the main highways and in the Union
Station information has been supplied
more than $4,000 travellers and nearly
1000 reservations have been made for
Washington hotels. After they have
returned to their homes, all who have
stopped at the booths receive letters
from the committee expressing appre-
citation for their visits. 1t is the aim
Of the committee in this connection. its
officers say, to establish a system that
will be cumulative in its results.
In the convention line the committee
has been unusually active. OF the 200
national conventions that will be held
in Washington in 1882, the committee
estimates that SIS have been brought on
the initiative of the committee These
conventions have been brought by or
ganizing the local groups interested, by
publication of special convention pros
pectuses, by great deal of corre-
Spondence and by personal work with
boards of directors or managers. The
e0-page convention prospectus of the
committee has had II revisions, each
revision being designed FOR some par
ticular group. The direct mail being
sent out by the committee now is run

Have to Pay, Fixed Level, Under Reductions

= the Associated Press.

E. the Associated Press.
How much will a married man with
no dependents have to pay the Gov
ernment every year under the income
taxes imposed In the new House reve-
nue. bill?
Here is how you figure it:
Suppose Mr.. Citizen makes a return
on $4,000 earned income. All of that
isn't taxed, for, first, he subtractS the
s2,500 allowance permitted married
persons. That leaves a taxable S2.500.
Next, he Is given a fixed deduction
of 1912 per cent of the $4,000, or S625.
$4,000 are allowed this deduction. 1t
also is applicable to those above $1,000,
but with the provision that no more
than $4,000 may be considered earned
income. This deduction on the $4,000
income would leave 81 ,875 of taxable
income.
The $l,875 is the figure on which Mr..
Citizen pays his tax. The rate on the
first $4,000 of taxable income is per
cent, so he pays the Government 2
per cent of $1,875 or $3.50.
No matter how high Mr.. Citizens in
come may be, he always may subtract
$2,500 for being married. But if his
earned income is $4,000 or more, he
may apply the fixed deduction of 1912
per cent to only $4,000
That is the maximum the bill per-
mits in making this subtraction except
when the income comes from corpora
tion dividends Then the 1912 per cent
deduction is allowed against not more
than 5000
Here's an unofficial table of how
much cash Mr.. Citizen will pay Uncle
Sam, assuming that the fixed 1919 per
cent deduction can be applied against
$4,000 (the normal income tax rates
are per cent on the first $4,000; per
cent on the next $4,000 and per cent
