Cent-a-SheII Tax Considered
to Prevent Depletion of
American Game.

Depletion Of American game would
be prevented through creation Of an
annual fund of $7,o0o,ooO by sportsmen,
1-cent tax on each shotgun shell, ac-
cording to William C. Adams, chairman
Of the American Game Conference.
After years of failure to obtain some
permanent solution for Americas grow
ing game scarcity, sportsmen now are
united on a program to foot the bill
themselves without burden to other tax
payers. Organizations supporting the
movement include the Association of
Game, Fish and Conservation Commis-
sioners, the American Game Associa-
ton, More Game Birds in America
Foundation, the Camp Fire Club of
Chicago and the Izaak Walton League.
A bill embodying the proposal will be
introduced in Congress soon. The meas
ure would provide that SIS per cent of
the revenue derived from the tax be
allotted to the game departments of the
States for use in increasing the supply
Of game and water fowl. The money
would be distributed on the basis of the
number Of hunting licenses issued.
u. S. to Expend Share.
The remaining As per cent would be
expended by the Federal Government
for the increase of water fowl through
acquisition or control of breeding, refuge
and concentration areas. Hundreds of
thousands Of acres would be involved.
Game-bird management forces would
control water levels and provide an
ample supply Of food and cover.
These management forces would con-
troll the natural enemies of water fowl
where necessary. Refugees would be es-
tablished on the line of migratory flight,
co-ordinating with system Of concen-
traticn areas for Winter use. An inter-
national agency would be established to
obtain the cooperation of Canada.
The tax would be collected at the
ammunition factories. Each box of
shells would be stamped In the manner
now followed by cigarette manufac-
turers.
This penny-a-shell tax on shotgun
ammunition is fair to all" one of the
hackers of the legislation said. "The
tax would cost the shooter who uses Is
shells year only Is cents additional.
Cost Is Low.
"The cost to the average shooter who
uses 100 shells year would be 81 ad-
ditional. Those who use more shells
will naturally pay more A 1,000-shell
shooter will be assessed $40, and so
on up the line. 1t is sound and equi-
table impost. Nobody likes taxes, of
course, but in this case it is matter
of paying the freight or having no birds.

CHAMBER Committee
INDORSES MERGER
Executive Body Declares Best In
terests Of Transportation Are
Being Retarded.

Endorsement Of legislation, now pend
ing, to consolidate the street railway
systems of the District has been given
by the Executive Committee of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce.
The committee held that ''the de-
velopment of the best in transportation
service for the District Of Columbia
has been seriously retarded by the
failure to consolidate its two major
street railway systems"
The Washington Chamber Of Com
merce previously has been wholly COM
mitted in favor of merger, having
taken official action both in its board
meetings and at meetings of the whole
organization. In favoring the legis-
lation the Executive Committee stated,
however, its opposition to any amend
ments other than may be necessary
for including specified provisions deal
ing with certain phases OF the problem.
Recommendations included relieving
car companies of cost Of traffic police
wages; authorizing them to engage in
supplemental transportation mediums:
empowering the Public Utilities Com
mission to fix reduced fares for school
children, and freedom for the consoli-
dated traction company to own
or operate transportation properties
through subsidiaries.

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. February 11.-Parallel to
upturns in Wall Street securities grain
markets scored a brisk early advance
today. Credit expansion moves at
Washington were stimulus to active
buying of grain future deliveries, wheat
especially.
Opening s4-2 higher. wheat after
ward held near the initial gains. Corn
started bs-1A up and subsequently
rose further.
Contributing upward impetus to
wheat values were Liverpool advices
telling OF good general demand for
wheat. Leading exporters Of North
American wheat were also represented
as believing that big business with
overseas countries probably would be
experienced for the next three months.
Word Of cold wave in North Dakota
suggested dangerous fall Of tempera-
lures ahead for domestic Winter wheat,
now largely bare of snow protection and
unusually sensitive to damage. Canadian
dispatches told of the coldest weather
of the year, % to So below zero.
Another bullish factor was a report
ascribed to German sources that the
1881 grain harvest in Russia totaled but
25000,000 tons instead of $4,000, 900 ex-
pected, and that only 81 per cent of
delivery plans were fulfilled. Black Sea
shipments Of wheat this week, includ-
ing exports from Russia, amounted to
only 100000 bushels, compared with
2,l92,000 year ago. Some Of the buy
ing which accompanied wheat price ad-
vances here was on the stop-loss orders
from previous speculative sellers. Corn
and oats responded to wheat strength.
Provisions sympathized with upturns
of hog values and of grain.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

The effect of a change in the COM
modify price level upon debts, public
and private, will stand little more
elucidation Let us take homely IL
lustretion. Two farmers are large
growers of potatoes. Two years ago,
farmer A borrowed $100 of farmer B.
At the time the loan was made, pota-
toes were selling at 81 a bushel, but
now, "a months later, they are selling
for SO cents a bushel.
Now when farmer B loaned the 500
he sold 100 bushels of potatoes to raise
the cash. However, when farmer A
now has to pay the money back. he
must sell 200 bushels of potatoes to
provide money enough to liquidate the
loan. In other words because OF the
change in price of the commodity IN
which these two farmers are most in
tercstcd the debtor has to pay twice
as much measured in potatoes as the
creditor originally loaned.
There is no way of overcoming this
inequity as long as we continue to
value debts In money. Prof. Irving
Fisher is the advocate Of plan to
change the gold content Of the dollar
in accordance with changes In the COM
modify price level, but the idea has
never received much support from other
economists. It Is deemed by most Of
them to be impractical.
AS 1t stands, falling prices work to
the advantage Of creditors, and to the
disadvantage of debtors. Observe that
the reverse is also true. An advance
in commodities benefits the debtor. We
arrive then at the conclusion that the
real value of debt is not static. 1t
follows then that if debt. or better
the evidence of a debt, is negotiable
the market price ought to change in
accord with this principle.
That Is exactly what happens in the
bond market, providing that the bond
in question has a relatively distant ma
turity. When the bond eventually falls
due it must be paid at its par value,
but during it's life its market price
varies from that par value in proper
tion as commodities rise or fall. This
factor in the making of market prices
for bonds is always at work but it Is
offset at times by other influences.
These we will discuss in the next
article in this series.

MARTINSBURG. w. Va, February
li.-Resolutions for closer collaboration
among sales agencies, restriction of
immature apple selling, postponement
of the United States apple crop esti-
mates until August l except for Sum-
mer apples and establishment of an
apple board Of trade were adopted by
West Virginia Horticulture Society in
its annual session here today. The
recommendations came from commit
tee on resolutions and were adopted
without dissenting vote.
The growers delayed estimate pro-
poSal was due TO q conviction, the reSo
luton said, that the earlier estimates
OF the past have often been in error
and have been harmful to the industry
Premature picking Of apples, due to
difference of opinion as to maturing
date for varieties, brought q recon-
mendation for a supervising inspector
to rule on dates. The board Of trade
suggestion provides for supervision in
common problems over the entire West
Virginia belt, to consist of 20 orchard
lists and fruit men named by the So
ciety to meet monthly, or oftener if
needed, and make recommendations to
growers generally.
The plea for collaboration in selling
was made. the report said, to prevent
price cutting, control market Cutting

sugar refners actually had performed

One eject of the institutes work,
John c. Higgins. counsel for the in

acts alleged to violate the Sherman law
and orler acts against monopolies.
