in favor of the federal law which
places the opening Of the season for
ducks in North Dakota as October /.
A committee was appointed to draw
resolutions setting forth the reason
for this action and to forward these
to North Dakota members in con-
gress.
It has been proposed to change the
opening date to September is, instead
of October !. The federal law con-
trolls hunting Of migratory birds.
Hunters here opposed an earlier
date on the ground that in many
cases mallard ducks are not fully
feathered. They took the position
that the laws approved by the Cana
dian government should not be con-
sidered In the United States as the
Canadian season is earlier.

Profit in Colts

That there are only SO per cent as
many horses on farms of the United
States as IA years ago is one of the
interesting facts brought out in the
Minnesota 1888 Agriculture Outlook
pamphlet, published by the agricul-
tural extension division of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. A still further de-
cline necessarily will take place, be-
cause, according to the 1880 census,
only about 55 per cent as many colts
are being raised as are needed annual
ly to maintain a constant horse sup
ply equal to that of 1880. This sug-
gests an opportunity for farmers to
raise colts with profit.

IT CAN'T BE DONE

1t is q strange confusion of IDEAS
said George B. Cortelyou, president Of the
Edison Electric institute, which would put
commodity prices up in order to stimulate
economic recovery and at the same time
would put utility prices down-when the
proper functioning of the utilities is neces-
sary to the success of any recovery pro-
gram
Yet there are coed many people
who advocate doing just that. They want
recovery. They want stimulated employ
ment and higher wages Tor workers. They
want to see the wholesale and commodity
price indexes go back to normal levels.
And at the same time they want to make
utility rates fellow precisely the opposite
trend, and place every difficulty in the way
Of Ibis great Industry continuing its most
CORN endable employment and construc-
tion record.
There are likewise the people who
have been sus ting special utility tax
es by the dozen the last year or two, and
have enacted some of them into law. At
the n2oment no comparable industry is
forced to bear such discrimination in the
matter OF taxation-none is reaping so lit
tie OF The fruits Of recovery. And, as Mr..
Cortelyo, intimates, none is more essential
to recovery.
Utilities are signing codes which will
increase operating expense. What effect
the codes will have on the gross cost of
producing and distributing power remains
to be seen---but it should be thoroughly
understood that the effect must be reflect
ed in the rate structure, if the companies
are to be maintained on sound basis
Ask the average business man what
he would think if it were demanded that
he pay more for everything he buys, and
sell his own product for less. That is what
certain critics are demanding of the utili-
les.
