Has Little Chance

One cannot drive along the
highways of northern Michigan at
night without seeing dozens of
deer scooting in and out of the
brush. An auto tearing along at
so to so miles per hour would have
little chance if a big deer sud-
denly popped out. An accident like
this would make an awful mess on
your windshield, but more inn
portant could cause a serious If
not a fatal accident.

Sunday Hunting
Bill in Need
Of Support
BY DON GILES

NO SUNDAY hunting III michigan
this Fall!
When Senator Ben Carpenter of
Harrison, introduced his bill to re-
peal all Sunday hunting laws he
had in mind 100000 industrial
workers, engaged In defense
production, whose work schedules
this year would give them only
one day to hunt. That day Is
Sunday.
His plea to the Senate body and
his various speeches at sports
gatherings, enabled the bill to sue
cessfully pass the Senate.
Two Weeks Left
From there, IL went to the state
affairs committee in the House or
Representatives. and there 1t will
STAY. unless those who desire SUM-
day hunting swing into action be-
fore May u, when the Legislature
has agreed TO adjourn.
eff hunters want this law
passed," says Harry Gaines. sec
rotary OF the Michigan United
Conservation Clubs, "they bet
ter get busy and let the state
affairs committee In the House
of Representatives at Lansing
know about It,"
That Is not the only important
bill that seems headed for the ash
can, according TO Gaines. The
water code bill lib 223. now In
Senate committee has hit a snag.
lib APO and SB 1923, specifying
closing certain parts OF Grand
Traverse Bay TO nets but would
permit nets 10 operate from No
vember il TO May is very BAD,
Gaines reports. The MUCC would
like TO see SD 1913 amended TO
close Grand Traverse Bay all
year. They have submitted 10 the
committee, indisputable evidence
that tons OF spawning trout, and
thus millions OF eggs are taken
every November. This cannot
continue" Gaines says.
Should Be Passed
Another bill. SB Jap. 10 correct
commercial fishing laws and TO
outlaw the deep trap nets, the
worst deep water killer OF FISH,
and according TO Gaines mainly
responsible for the depletion of
whitefsh and lake trout supply
should be passed.
Here are two bills that the
MUCC hope will be killed. They
are lib 492 and lib 4Ss. lib 492
is a bill TO earmark 20 cents of
all game licenses TO purchase rab-
bits, birds and other game. lib
4S6 repeats provision of law pro-
hibiting setting traps within 6 feet
of muskrat houses. This law has
done considerable in maintaining
the supply OF muskrats, Gaines
says.

Speed Big Factor

Speed probably Is the greatest
factor in the destruction of wild
life upon the highways. Incidental
to the killing are increased traffic
and the improved highways into
rural sections bringing the auto
mobile in direct contact with the
wild life habitats.
Some authorities believe that at
certain times of the year the high
ways give forth a warmth not
found in the adjacent ground. This
condition attracts insects which
in turn attract animals and birds
to prey upon them.
Mice along the shoulder OF the
road make easy pickings for
skunks and cats. Other factors
play a part. Rabbits particularly
seem to choose the highway as a
playground and, at night, blinded
by the speeding auto. fall easy
victims. Some animals recognize
the danger but fright dulls their
wits to the extent that they don't
know which way to turn.

May Require Plenty

1t is said that a deer eats less
than a pint of food in one day.
Nevertheless. according 10 the
conservation department, one deer
may require 450 pounds of cedar
browse in a 90-day yarding season.

Petroleum Taxes
At AU-Ti3ae Hiqh

Taxes generated by the petroleum
industry in 1910 stood at the aIl-time
record high of $1,524,OO0,OOO, reports
the American Petroleum Industries
committee. These taxes were euuiva-
lent to one-tenth of the total capital
invested in the industry and repre-
sent a 1873 percent gain over taxes on
the industry and its products in 1880.
During the current year petroleum
taxes are still moving upward and in
1871 will be substantially more than
they were in 1910. Besides the in
creased corporate taxes applying to
business generally, to be imposed un-
der the revenue bill now before the
senate finance committee, motor fuel
consumers already are paying a so
percent increase in the federal tax on
gasoline, the major product of the in

Samuel B. Eckert, vice president in

cent Of the total oil and gas consumed
in the east could be transported by
this means.
The Pennsylvania railroad announced
that it already is delivering to eastern

other petroleum products. This is suf-

WHITAKER
CHROME MINE
Is OPENED UP

Dewey F. Whitaker and associates
have employed two mining engineers
to make surveys and reports on their
chromite deposits south Of Big Tim
Der. A large crew Of miners have been
trenching and test pitting on their
chromite deposit during the past so
days. Large scale work is being car
ried on at the present time.
This is the only large scale develop
ment work actually done in several
years by private capital on Montana
chronlite deposits.
These deposits are composed Of 81
chromite claims and one millsite with
water rights. This group Of claims Is
the largest chromite reserve in Mon
tana The massive ore will average
SO percent chrome oxide, being the
highest grade as well as the largest
deposit. 1t is expected that the engi-
neers employed win complete the map
ping of the chromite veins by Oct. 1.

Pacific Coast
Oil Shortage
Coming Soon

WASHINGTON. - With completion
Of present pipelines the east coast oil
shortage win be over by spring-if no
more tankers are lost and If other
factors not now evident do not enter
the picture, the senate oil probe was
informed
Fifty tankers back in east coast-glllf
service would relieve the eastern oil
shortage Shortage here could also be
relieved If tank cars could bring in
an additional 100000 barrels of pc
troleum products daily.
The petroleum co-ordinator's office
has no legal authority to impose a gas
oline rationing plan, stated PCO's chief
counsel. j. H. Marshall.
Davies told senators that the petro-
leum co-ordinator had not magnified
the danger of a shortage or need for
curtailment, but admitted newspaper
headlines reading East Coast out of
Gas in 10 Days" were unduly alarm
ing.
Davies also said no overall shortage
of petroleum products now exists, but
said that shortage of crude was not
an impossible development of the war
He said refining capacity shortage
might occur in few months, adding
this question is now being studied with
OPM to insure an adequate safety mar
gin Of refining capacity.
The Pacific coast shortly will be
asked to conserve gasoline on the same
basis as the east coast, due to the
tanker shortage. He declined to say
what Poo would do about national |
of gasoline, but indicated |
that such a proposal would be fair.
