CHAMBER REVIEWS
HARMONY APPEAL
Hartman Says Recovery Is
Based on Sharing of
Responsibility.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States last night renewed its
appeal for effective cooperation be-
tween business men and the Govern
ment in the interest of fastening eco
nomic recovery.
In a statement by its president,
Henry I. Hartman, 1t said at the
same time that responsibility rests not
only upon business but sis shared alike
by business, finance, agriculture, labor,
Government and other component ele-
ments of the national economic struc-
ture."
Business conditions are on the mend
at the moment, the chamber re-
iterated. And again this was borne
out by new statistics from the agencies
of the Government which keep tab
on developing conditions.
The Commerce Department reported
a general gain for the week which
ended November II, including fig
ures from the Bureau of Labor StatiS-
tics showing an Improvement in
wholesale prices, and higher quota
tionS on farm prices with simul-
taneous decline IN the cost of food.
Business is looking realistically at
the practical aspects of recovery"
Hartman said.
Indications from many sources
point to a realization that a concert
of effort on the part of all groups is
essential in implementing and putting
into operation wise policies for the
regeneration of trade and industry
and the resumption of normal employ
ment, and it is apparent that at
tention has shifted from the planning
to the executing phase of recovery
This statement served to emphasize
the reasons underlying the chamber S
initiation a week ago of a move IN
which business organizations and the
administration would be united in a
cooperative recovery effort.
Apparently believing that the Roose-
welt administration, whose policies the
| chamber had generally and vigorously
opposed probably was to be in Office
for six years more, the chambers board
of directors adopted resolutions calling
| upon all busines organizations and
business men to lend their co-opera-
ton, rather than their opposition, 10
the Roosevelt administration.
At the same time it was made plain
| that this did not include Endorsement
of such Roosevelt proposals as an ex-
| tension of the T. V. A. and its public
ownership of power producing and dis
| tributing plants nor Mr.. Roosevelt s
proposal for unemployment insurance
unless this were extensively modified
The chamber has its own unemploy-
| ment insurance plan.
A number of business organizations
such as the National Association OF
Manufacturers, the National Industrial
Conference Board and the Durable
/ Goods Committee under the code for
| those industries, responded with en-
thusiasm to the chambers original
suggestion.

Treasure Island brought into the
twentieth century"
With this N mind. he planned
search for buried treasure.
Displayed Old Map.
1T did not occur to me that there
could be anything wrong in making
them believe 1 had been left an old
map by a friend who had died years
ago in Tennessee he said. MY
brother, who is an artist, prepared the
map so it would have an antique ap-
pearance. Then we built chest and
darkened it to the appearance of age.
Inside we placed gilded bars of lead"
With the map as guide, Clayton
and his boys sought the treasure un-
der a dead oak on a section of the
Rock Creek Valley which is over
run with honeysuckle and grapevines.
They dug, but found nothing. Noon
came and fire was built for prepara-
ton Of lunch. Apparently quite by
accident, Clayton held the map near
the flames. Writing became visible
between the lines. telling that the
treasure had been moved.
They followed the directions and
began digging at new spot. A shovel
struck metal, and half dozen boys
went down on their knees, frantic
with excitement They dragged forth
a chest heavy as lead-or as gold! 1t
seemed a very old chest with brass
hinges and handles at each end. A
hasp was held in place with a
golden nail.
Chest Is Stolen.
Before the boys could discover that
the bars inside were only lead, the
chest was stolen. On succeeding Sat-
urdays they traced it to its new hiding
places.
So exciting was the first adventure
that one of the boys could not sleep
that night.
Although they were mysteriously
robbed of the chest, the boys did not
go home empty-handed. Turtles. tad
poles. gold ore" moss, and almost a
complete skeleton of a "dinosaur," p"
which strangely resembled a horse,
accompanied them on the return trip.

BY and large, the taxpayer got the
better of it in the recent voting on
constitutional amendments in IL
States.
Returns compiled by the Associated
press show a large majority of the
States either ratified reductions and
repeals Of various current levies or
defeated proposed new taxes or in
creases.
The tendency. toward double tax
ation-that which duplicates Federal
levies in the States-also was checked
in three of the i've States that bal
loted on income taxes.
Through the voting, Louisiana and
Montana Joined the II States that
had individual income taxes similar
to the Federal levy. But Michigan,
Washington and Texas rejected such
taxes.
Montana already had an income
tax by legislative decree and the vote
there merely rendered constitutional
what the taxpayers had already been
called upon to do.
Auto Tags Hailed.
AS sort of offset in Louisiana,
where Senator Long won approval OF
IA changes in the State charter, the
poll tax as a voting requirement was
eliminated and the minimum auto
mobile license tax was reduced from
SIS to $3.50. The income tax amend
ment provides for levy of from to
per cent on individuals and per
cent on corporations.
Federal levies on corporations are
now duplicated in about 20 States.
Aside from the States already men
toned, an indication of the frame
of mind of the voters on taxes may
be obtained from the following re-
suits on the balloting:
Akansas-Approved a proposal to
restrict the Legislature to biennial
appropriations of s2,500000, except
| for debt service; Confederate pen
sions and highways, and forbiddine
tax increases except by three-fourths
ma jority of the Legislature in case OF
an emergency.

Approved a reduction from 10 tc
per cent in the penalty for non-
payment of taxes, and gave delin.
quents four years in which TO re-
deem without penalty.

physical instructor, now at
the Dewitt Preparatory School,
reached back into his boy
hoods long dreams of treasure
chests and pirates, wars and rescues.
hunts and exploration, and from the
| relics of that limbo fashioned for
boys the living adventures he had
visioned.
From his plan grew the "Adven-
| turers Club" which has on its rolls
about 300 boys. ranging in age from
7 to IS years. Headquarters of the
club are at Dewitt, where its origina-
tor, Tom Clayton, is headmaster Of
the lower school. Any boy there is
eligible, but membership is not con-
fined to the school.
Every Saturday Clayton takes a
group of boys adventuring. Perhaps
it will be a search for pirates gold, a
war, the capture of a gang of bandits,
the exploration of an old fort, or any
of the manifold delights of the boyish
mind.
Expeditions Toned Down.
At first he staged the expeditions
so realistically the boys were deceived
and thought they truly were doing the
things of which they had read and
dreamed, but parental objections
finally caused him to tone down and
modify his expeditions.
The present purpose of the club,
said Clayton, is Ito give a boy a
chance to get out into the open and
do something different from what he
does on week days"
When the club was first begun,
however his purpose was bit more
pretentious
