SQUIRREL SEASON NOT TO
OPEN UNTIL NOVEMBER
Several Changes In Law Made by
1899 Session OF Legislature

Western Maryland hunters will
have no early squirrel season this
year, it was announced by Joseph A.
Minke, a deputy game warden from
Allegany County, after he had re-
ceived copy of the new game and
fish laws enacted by the 1889 Gen
eral Assembly. No copy of the law
has been received as yet at the office
of the Clerk of the Circuit Court at
the Court House in Oakland
The new regulations provide that
the open season for hunting squirrels
in Garrett and Allegany counties shall
be from November l to November 80,
inclusive. The former date for this
type of game was from October 1 to
October Is.
In ether parts of the State the sea-
son will not only be early but will also
be twice as long as last year. The new
law declares September Is to October
10 as open season on squirrels for all
but Western Maryland The change
was urged by organized sportsmen to
protect other game.
The squirrel season in Western
Maryland will now correspond with
the open season on rabbits, wild tur-
key, cartridges, woodcocK, male Eng
lish ringneck, Mongolian or melanistic
mutant pheasant and other imported
species, and ruffled grouse.
The new regulations assure a five
day deer season this year, beginning
the first Monday in December. Last
year the season was from December
i to 5, and since Sunday interviewed
the hunting season actually covered
only four days. A similar situation
would have prevailed this year had not
the law been changed. .

Mr.. Jones is in no position to say so,
no one knows better than he that the
type of loans mentioned in this pro-
gram are anything but self liquidat-
ing; that if they were sound loans,
there is available for them ample pri-
vate capital anxious to get to work;
that to keep these expenditures off the
debt and out of the deficit can't be
done-that it can only appear to be
done by setting up double budget
and adopting deceitful bookkeeping
methods. In the present state of the
nation to present so uncandid a pro-
gram demonstrates the plight to
which the New Dealers are reduced. 1t
does seem that members of Congress
who still retain hope of averting in
fationary disaster, would be justified
in going the, limit in opposition to this
extraordinary proposal.

2. Stimulating employment in food
processing industries, in railroads
and other carriers which transport
food to market, and in the realm
of the "middlemen" who bridge
the distribution gap between pro-
Queer and consumer.
3. Broadening consumption among
low-income families who could
buy more if prices were lower.
In Effect On Small Scale
Such marketing pacts already have
been accomplished, on a small scale,
through the Federal Surplus Commod-
tiles Corporation, Agriculture Depart
ment agency which buys surplus
crops and gives them away to persons
On relief throughout the country.
An example in the FSCC plan for
the citrus fruit industry, in which pro
ducers, packers, jobbers, wholesalers
and retailers cooperated.
The FSCC agreed to buy and give
away 100000 boxes of grapefruit. In
return, the grapefruit growers agreed
to divert 100000 more boxes of low
grade fruit from normal market by
selling it for fartilizer and stock feed.
Not only will this remove the sur
plus and stabilize prices, but it will
make possible shipment of 100000
more boxes of fruit than were shipped
durign either of the last two years.
From Housewives Standpoint
More important from the standpoint
of the housewife who buys the grape
fruit for her breakfast table is the
agreements proviso for an industry
wide drive to cut handling costs, re-
duce canning margins, and lower
freight rates so retail prices would be
lower. Retailers, for example, agreed
to charge not more than 25 per cent.
of the price they paid to the whole
saler.
AS it's share in increasing grapefruit
sales, the FSCC is giving its 100000
boxes away in areas which normally
use little or none of the fruit.
Applied To Other Commodities
This same general marketing eda
cation" pattern is adopted, as far as
possible, in disposing of other surplus
commodities.
At each step of the distribution
system-producer packer, wholesaler,
iobber, retailer the-same reasoning is
applied: increase profits by increasing
sales. and increase sales by cutting
prices.
The success of the FSCC efforts to
date may provide an argument for
adoption of the co-operative-p price
cutting on-surpluses idea on broader
scale. Likely to be more persuasive
argument is the alternative Henry A,
Wallace, secretary of agriculture has
indicated he would like to try: A two
price system-one price for those who
can afford it and another, lower, for
poorer people.

JOSEPH'S PLAN IN EGYPT
is NOW NEW DEAL MODEL
EZekiePs New Book On Distribu-
ton Goes Further Than That
OF The Biblical Dream Boy

From President Roosevelt's inner
circle comes a hint that the distribu-
ton system which the Bible says JOS
eph used to feed the hungry people of
Egypt may be brought to date by the
New Deal in an effort to end the Am
erican paradox of starvation in the
midst Of plenty"
1t is advanced in book just pub
lished by "brain truster," Mordecai
Ezekiel, one of the authors of the farm
program.
Joseph stored surplus grain during
seven years of bumper crops in order
to feed the Pharaoh's people during
seven years of drought and dust
storms.
Joseph's Plan-Plus
Ezekiel would store all sorts of sur
pluses-steel and radio and automo.
biles and other things Joseph never
dreamed of-to balance fluctuations in
supply and demand and keep EN-.
ployment and purchasing power at q
consistently high level.
Joseph's plan covered only farm
crops. It's 1889 counterpart takes in
all Of big business and industry.
The basis of both is a government
guarantee that if producers will pro
duce steadily, SURPRISES that may ac-
crue will be disposed of.
Joseph's plan had the approval of
Pharaoh. Ezekiel says his plan i:
mot to be taken in any sense as an
expression of views held by the Ad-
ministration." Ezekiel's book "Jobs fol
ALL" is published with the approval
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, however, and experiments
out of which his. plan logically could
grow are now being carried on by the
New Deal.
Here's How 1t Would Work
For instance:
Ezekiel's program would bring
whole industries together to decide
voluntarily how much each industry
would produce during the next year
After this total was set, each manu-
facturer would be given a definite
quota as his share of the business for
the year.
The government would guarantee to
buy, at discount, any surplus the
manufacturer had over his quota al
the end of the year. The agreement
would be made binding by contract
between the individual manufacturer
and a government agency designated
to umpire the plan.
For the businessman, Ezekiel ar.
CUES, this plan would eliminate uncer-
tainty about the future, stimulate in
vestment, and encourage expansion.
Steady Job For WOrkingman
For the workingman, it would mean
a steady job and steady income to buy
the goods of the grocer, the butcher
the baker, the tailor and the man at
the filling station. Which brings ii
right back to the businessman again,
for if buying were constant SURPRISES
would be reduced to a minor problem
that could be Strengthened out in the
next years plan.
Thus the Ezekiel programs runs.
Nothing as sweeping as that is being
attempted right now. But current
business journals are filled with talk
about Agriculture Department pro-
posals to bring the food industry into
a general agreement to market sur
pluses at lower than usual prices for
the purpose Of
l. Disposing of crop excuses which
for years have been the root of
the national farm problem.

Too Many Small Schools
In District, Says BaIIou

Washington has too many school
buildings for efficient operation of a
school system-mainly because
many of them are too old and too
small-Supt. Frank w. Ballou told
the House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations in testimony made
public today.
DR.. Ballou told the committee
members the District now operates
174 school buildings, of which many
are Groom buildings no longer suit
able for teaching purposes.
The superintendent said efficiency
could be increased by replacing
many of these old, outmoded build
ings with is or 20 room structures.
Beside economy of operation, he
argued, fewer teachers would be re-
quired than under the present sys-
tenn. One Is or 20 room building. he
pointed out, could replace two or
three of the old Groom type.
He said the total number of build
ings could easily be brought down to
$50.
There is not city in the United
States that could be compared with
us that has as many Groom build
ings as We have" he declared.
This. together with the need for
acquisition of new sites, was cited
by DR.. Ballou as high points in con-
nection with the District school sys-
tenn.
The superintendent expressed the
opinion that when the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion acquires land for recreational
purposes corresponding school sites
should be purchased.
