New Jersey State recovery codes
are under attack by the National Re-
covery Administration because they
are "a real detriment to industry, and
permit monopolistic practices"
The attitude of the N. R. A. was
revealed in a letter sent by Charles
]. NUM-, jr., assistant counsel to the
N. r. A., to Louis Gerber, lawyer
of this city, whose clients have ques-
toned State code operations. NUM-
wrote:
THE National Recovery Admins
tration can see no reason for the
writing Of State codes. and New Jer-
sey has caused us much trouble from
the standpoint of confusion to its
citizens as a result of writing State
codes, and real detriment has occurred
to industries forced to contribute to
State code assessments.
1--WE have found New Jersey codes
are in conflict with the National Re-
covery Administration in that they
permit monopolistic practices"
The letter also stated the N. r. A.
Is preparing to urge enactment by
State Legislatures of uniform re-
covery act to take the place of State
codes for purely intrastate business.
There is some question whether the
N. R. A., a Federal agency. can super
wise business solely within a State.
1t was for this reason the New Jersey
State code act was passed.
Organizing Industries.
Since the State law was passed,
however, a group of lawyers has taken
advantage OF the opportunity to or
ganize various industries and obtain
large fees This group, ostensibly
working in harmony with the State
administration, is sponsoring leg1s-
lation that would give the code ad-
ministrator unlimited power to assess
local coGe members for administration
expenses.
The legislation has developed con-
siderable opposition in the Repub-
lican Senate majority, and indications
are it will not pass. Intensive lobby
ing has been done by group o1
lawyers who stand to benefit from
the act, If passed. Legislators are
aroused because of complaints of theil
constituents that excessive assess
ments have been proposed under the
State codes.
Charles Edison of West Orange, 6
director of the National Emergency
Council, gave further evidence Of th'
friction between State and Nationa
Recovery Administrations when he re-
turned from Washington. He declared
the national administration "is con
cerned by complaints received from
industries which are being asked u
pay assessments to both national ane
State code authorities"
Admitting that New Jersey "hal
gone a step beyond the Federal pro
gram by enactment Of State codes,
Edison declared he will appoint ,
liaison officer between the nationa
and State administrations to preven
conflicts and insure cooperation. Tn
legislature, meanwhile, is considering
repeal Of the State code authority.

CHANGE IN TAX
HELP FARMERS
Farmers Will Benefit by the
Change in Processing
Tax on Hogs
TAX IS ON LIVE WEIGHT

Farmers who slaughter hogs for
sale to retailers or other CONNER
cial handlers will no longer be held
responsible for payment of the
processing tax, under a redefini-
tion of the term first domestic
processing which has been an
nounced by the Agricultural Ad-
ministration. "A new regulation
transfers to commercial handlers
all liability for payment of the
processing tax on hog products
derived from hogs slaughtered by
producers and feeders, County
Agent Ed Willim, Jr, explains
Under the previous regulation,
the farmer who slaughtered hogs
was responsible for payment of the
tax, both when he sold to CONNER
cial handlers and when he sold to
consumers. The status of the
farmer who slaughters hogs and
sells direct to cosumers remains,
however, unchanged. ''The i'm
portance of this change to Della
ware is significant, because a large
percetage of New Castle County
farmers kill their hogs before de-
livering them to the commercial
professor or butcher. ''The pro-
ducer who slaughters his own hogs
and sells or exchanges directly to
consumers not more than 300
pounds of the products derived
during any marketing year is not
required to pay the tax. If the
producer sells more than 300
pounds but not more than 1000
pounds of pork products from his
own hogs direct to consumers he is
liable for the tax only on the vol
ume sold in excess of the 300
poud exemption. If he sells more
than 1000 pounds during any
marketing year he loses his 800
pound exemption and is liable for
the tax on all products derived
from his hogs which he has sold.
THE amount of the tax is deter
mined upon live-weight basis,
which is arrived at by using the
conversion factors prescribed in
the regulations. Farmers who
slaughter and sell hogs not of their
own raising are not entitled to the
3OO-pound exemption. Any farm
er who processes hogs for con-
sumption by his own family, en-
ployes, or household is exempt
from the payment of tax there
upon"

TRAPPER PLAN
FOR MUSKRATS
Because of Extreme Cold
Weather Last Winter 1t Is
Feared "Rats" Are Scarce
NEW EXPERIMENT TRIED

The muskrat trapping season
will open on Saturday, December
1, and run for a period of three
months and ten days, closing
March 10. 1t is believed that the
extremely cold winter last year
killed offff the rats" by the thous
ands and that there will be fewer
rats" caught this season than
ever On the other hand prices
are sure to be considerably higher
than they have ben for the past
ten years. Fur prices have been
high during recent months indicat
ing that hides may bring as much
at the start of the season this
year as they brought at the close
last season. It IS a known fact
that many rats" were killed by
the cold last winter, or were killed
by combination of cold weather
and lack of food, as many trappers
found dead rats in the marshes
in March after the ice had broken
up. 1t has also been noticeable
this fall that the marshes do not
have nearly so many muskrat
houses as formerly. Government
authorities located at Fort Della
ware on Pea Patch Island have
discovered during the past few
days that persons have slipped over
to the island from some point on
the mainland and are already set
ting traps for rats" 1t is not
thought that many have been
caught so far and the traps that
were found have been confscated
by the Fort Delaware garrison.
Guards are now beisg stationed in
the marsh area of the island to ap-
prehend anyone caught attempting
to trap the island. The Fort du-
Pont authorities are especially in
terested in the coming trapping
season en- Fort Delaware because
last spring muskrats were import
ed from Minnesota, called "Swed-
ish rats" and turned loose on the
island in an experiment to improve
the breed The Minnesota rats"
are somewhat larger than the
muskrats native to this section and
are also practically all a coal black
in color.

INDIANS PLAN
THEIR POW-WOW
Descendants of NanticOke Z
dians, About 100 Strong,
to Hold Ceremonies
DOWN ON INDIAN RIVER

Descendants of the Nanticoke
Indians, about one hundred in all,
who inhabit the Indian River sec
ton, and are the most prosperous
farmers of that section, will EMU
late their sturdy forefathers on the
afternoon of Thanksgiving Day by
holding their fourteenth annual
pow-wow and ceremonial. The af-
fair annually attracts hundreds of
people from all sections of Penn
sylvania, Maryland, New Jersey
and Delaware. Chief Little Owl,
known to the English speaking
people as Charles G. Clark, who
lives at River Dale Park, says that
the pow-wow will take place re-
gardless of weather conditions. If
the weather should be too stormy,
it will be staged on the banks of
the placid waters of the Indian
River, where protection will be af-
forded by the clump of cottages
and the grove. Otherwise, it will
be held back of the home of Chief
Little Owl. Members of the asso-
citation will don their war-paint,
feathers and beads, give forth war
whoops and ''have heap much
talk" Chief Little Owl, aided by
Assistant Chief Mawett (Robert
H. Clark, of Washington, D. c.,
will be in charge of the ceremonial,
tribal rites of more than $50 years
ago Either Chief Little Owl, or
his brother, Assistant Chief Ma
welt will address the visiting
chiefs and tribemen in Indian Ian
guage. The grove will be roped
off so that the spectators will not
crowd in on the members of the
association and the visiting chiefs.
The ceremonies will start at 2
o'clock and will continue for about
three hours. The first dance of the
afternoon will be the welcome
dance, followed by the greeting
dance to the chiefs. Other dances
will be the round, harvest. green
corn, duck, squaw, snake, turkey
war, papoose, lead, scalp, Nanti-
coke and farewell. The papoose
dance usually is directed by Wen
onah MRS. Oscar Wright), a Sus-
quehanna princess and teacher OF
the Nanticoke Indian School. Mrs
Wright formerly lived at Wrights-
vile, Pa. Joseph Mcfarland, Jr.
anthropologist, is to be present an6
assist in the ceremonies. The
Nanticoke Indian Association is
the outgrowth of research work OF
DR.. Frank G. Speck, of the An
thropology Department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, an emin-
ent authority on the American In
dians. He visited the Indian River
section about IA years ago anc
opened many mounds where they
discovered relics of the Nanticoke
Tribe. The organization of the as.
sociation followed under the direc.
tion of the late Chief Wyaniacc
Russell Clark first chief of the
Nanticoke Association, who dice

Clayton Land Litigation Cleared
Up:-The most interesting event
of the week at this place is the
division of the Tippett tract on
which this town is located. This
land, so many years the subject of
contention and litigation, has been
cleared up. With the exception of
the grounds for the depot build
ings and some building lots, the
tract, it will be remembered, was
purchased by the late Mason
Bailey, of Kenton, and DR.. William
Daniel, of Smyrna. Shortly after,
James Whortenby, of California,
termed up as the right heir of the
Richard Tippett estate, brought
suit with Hon. T. F. Bayard as his
attorney, and was awarded the
property, thus dispossessing
Messrs. Bailey and Daniel as well
as those who had purchased lots
and built on them in the town, the
latter, however, paying a second
time and securing their property
by second deed. Mr.. Bayard, it
seems was never paid for the i'm
portant service rendered the claim
ant, or his heir and trustee, DR..
Harris, and as both of these have
since died, this division was an
amicable arrangement, Mrs. Har-
ris, the heir proper, and Mr.. Bay
ard for securing to him the pay
ment Of his legal services.
