WEEK TURNS
,JPOTLIGHT ON CONSERVATION
;;■■■ Thfc Wildlife Week. Set aside for the purpose of
'giving consideration to an important and fast-fading
heritage. It, is no secret that the preservation of wild
life has become a real concern of all those who realize
/ its importance. Up until the turn of the present cen-
%• tury there was little if any thought given to conserva-
tion. It seemed then that our supply was limitless and
ivould last forever. Now we realize that we will have to
utilize every available means to protect and keep what
we have for the present and future.
The many protective laws enacted have helped
to stem the tide which was wiping out big and
small game, 1 ish and fowl. But even such measures
can only control the rate at which wildlife is killed.
Establishment of preserves has been
the most forward step in wildlife conservation and
is the one that promises to make possible holding
our own with hope for the future. When wildlife
has a refuge from which the the hunter is barred
we can recoup the devastating losses. Ot particular
• importance are the preserves set aside by the
' Federal government for migratory birds. These
birds have always felt the full brunt of the consci-
entiousless hunter. Under the favor of protection
wild fowl should hold its own as well as big game.
While sportsmen may give first consideration to
wildlife conservation movements from the angle of
sport, of even greater significnce is the economic im-
•portance. Most widely utilized of wildlife tor tood is
fish. At one time every stream and lake in the country
abounded with a variety of fish. Today good fishing
is found in the inaccessible spots. Much has been done
to preserve fishing, with the establishment oi hatch-
eries, restrictive laws during spawning seasons and
elimination of the many objectionable practises used
to bring the finny tribe out of the water.
It might be said that preservation of our wild-
life is necessary to preserve our civilization. A
world without birds would find plant lite so be-
sieged with worms and bugs that nothing but
despair would face us. That just gives a hint ot
the importance of the.,conservation movement. It
is esse.ntial that we give thought now to this all-
^ffliportant problem otherwise the nation will con-
tinue to add to its list of extinct species which now
includes a large number. Conservation as it pro-
gnoses will mean more restrictive laws to protect
ganfflg supplies and the establishment of
breeding farms as well as increasing the number
and extent of refuges. We may not like this as-
pect of the problems but if we give but a few
moments to retrospect we will realize how quick-
• ly this change in one of our heritages has taken
place. We must think now to the future.

WISING near the Gulf coast ot
Mexico and running down
nearly to Vera Cruz is a lofty
range of mountains, really a con-
tinuation of the eastern belt of
the Rockies. And topping this
range, southwest of Mexico City,
are three mighty but dormant
volcanoes: Popocatepetl, 17,888
feet; Ixtaccihuatl, 17,343, and
Orizaba. 18,209 feet in altitude.
The Aztecs used to call Orizaba
"star mountain" or Citaltepetl be-
cause of its extreme height. And
certainly they were not far wrong
for the mountain is the highest in
all Mexico and the second high-
est in North America. Its upper
timber line is about 13,500 feet
above sea-level and explorers
found patches of apparently per-
manent snow at an elevation of
14,400 feet on its southeast side
in 1902.
The first ascent of Mt. Orizaba
was made by the Reynolds and
Maynard expedition in 1848. Its
last eruptive period was 1545-66
and the volcano is now generally
considered to be extinct. Never-
theless it grows as a national
favorite in Mcxico and does com-
mand magnificent scenery. Por-
trayed occasionally on Mexican
postage stamps, Mt. Orizaba is
shown below on a 1934 airmail
stamp. Its two massive neighbors
are shown on an issue of the same
year.

BACKSTAGE IN WASHINGTON
BY KODXEY l)l'T( H KB
WASHINGTON—The last
ragged remnant of the New
Deal's effort to exept some
degree of control over the
business situation through
taxation will be destroyed
when and if Chairman Pat
Harrison of the Senate Fi-
nance Committee succeeds
in having the corporation
undistributed profits tax
completely repealed.
All that's left is the "20-
l(i" provision in the tax bill
passed by the House. This
imposes a tax of 20 per cent
on the profits of corpora-
tions earning net income
of more than $25,000 a year,
with a credit of four per
cent against that tax for
each dollar paid out in divi-
dends.
Roughly, this is the way-
it works out:
A corporation with a net.
income of 8100.000 pays a
$20,000 tax if it does not dis-
tribute any of its earnings.
But if it distributed all its
earnings, the tax would
be only 816,000. Distribution
of 50 per cent as dividends
would mean a tax of 818.-
000.
Ability To I'ay Theory
Prior to the revenue act
of 1936, which carried a
rate of 32.4 per cent on
corporations retaining their
earnings, dividends paid by
corporations were subject
to surtax on the stockhold-
er's income tax return but
not to the four per cent nor-
mal tax.
Today the individual pay-
both normal rate and .sur-
tax on dividends. Instead of
the stockholder being cre-
dited in the attempt, to
avoid "double taxation", it
is the corporation paying the
dividend which would get,
the break under "20-1(1"
,\o Bludgeon
The four per cent cre-
dit for profits distributed is
designed as an inducement
for corporations to pay out
as much in dividends as
they reasonably can. Its ad-
vocates consider it a persua-
sive device rather than a
bludgeon.
They fear that if there's
a flat corporation rate, as
Harrison proposes, a great
number of c o r p o r a t ions
would decide to accumulate
surplus in abnormal propor-
tions—first, because of the
great amount of dividends
paid out last year under the
old surplus profits tax and,
second, because of fear of
another surplus profits tax
in the future. Such a strong
tendency to keep money in
the corporate sock would
have a strong deflationary
effect and reduce potential
purchasing power.
And it is still argued that
corporations which retain
profits instead of distribut-
ing them have an unfair
advantage over those which
pay out profits in dividends.
Fear More Of The Same
Opposition to ''20-10"
comes chiefly from corpora-
tions which want to accu-
mulate surplus rather than
pay dividends and from
those who fear that any re-
tention of the undistributed
profits tax principle may-
make it easier for a subse-
quent Congress to enlarge
upon that principle again
in future tax legislation.
Speaking of the House
Ways and Means Commit-
tee tax bill hearings, con-
servative Chairman Robert
Doughton recently said:
" Practical ly every witness
showed an utter lack of
knowledge of the effect of
the proposals in the bill and
even of the existing law as
it applied to his own busi-
ness, except that they had
to pay a little more in tax-
es."
What's Government For?
Efforts of certain blocs to
put' import taxes on pork
and beef, as well as other
phases of the tax bill fight,
have led cynics to recall an
old line from Voltaire:
"The purpose of govern-
ment—whether it be mon-
archy. oligarchy or repub-
lic—is to take money from
some and bestow it on oth-
ers."

HOLLYWOOD — Closeups
and longshots:
HEDY LAMARR—This Aus-
trian actress is very careless
about leaving valuables lying
around. Over in Europe she
went swimming raw, and left
her clothes on the bank and
somebody stole them. But that
was for a picture called "Ecs-
tasy". which even in its censor-
ed form caused more eye strain
in this country than anything
since the last eclipse.
En route to Hollywood, she
was escorted across the conti-
nent by a studio representative
who was constantly bewildered
by the way she scattered her
purse and furs all over the
train. Entering tlie Metro lot
recently, she tossed a brown
paper bag to the gateman say-
ing, "Keep this for me. will
you?" He tossed it on a shelf
with his lunch. Next day anoth-
er watchman, prowling for a
sandwich, opened the bag. It
contained 8100,000 worth of dia-
monds.
LOUISE HOV1CK — Her -tu-
dio, and presumably Miss Hov-
ick herself, wants everyone to
forget that she used to be the
strip-tease queen. Gypsy Rose
Fee. Privately, however. the
actress was annoyed when Sal-
ly Rand recently failed to name
her on a list of the 10 best un
dressed women of the world—
the women, that is. who'd be
beautiful even without clothes.
Evidence of how far Miss
Hovick has progressed from be-
ing an exponent of a fleshly
and very realistic art is the
fact that : lie now is going in
for abstract paintings. Recent-
ly bought a couple of moderns
and is reading a book about
surrealism and such. 1 saw it.
She also is becoming an ama-
teur patroness of sweetness
and light: adores Shirley Tem-
ple and would like to meet her.
DANIELLE l)A RIIIEUX —
If you ask the French star whe-
ther she is temperamental, she
will say. "But no" and her hus-
band will say, "But yes!" She
will qualify it then by explain-
ing that sometimes she does toss
a temper tantrum, but in the
middle of it she gets to feeling
pretty silly and begins to laugh
at herself.
Henri Decoin, the husband,
says it is sometimes that way
and sometimes not. When Mile.
Darieux gets really angry she
always leaves—the set. the par-
ty. or whatever. It is then that
he must be left alone, strictly
A man who ran after her would
be taking his life in his hands.
MARVIN STEPHENS — Six
years ago this youngster was
playing small parts in "Mickey
McCuire" comedies with Mick-
ey Roonev. the star. The series
was abandoned, parts became
scarce, and Marvin was washed
up at the age of !). He had to
work at something, so he sold
papers. Had a corner for street
sales, and a delivery route and
did so well with that he re-en-
tered the movies reluctantly a
few months ago with a role in
the "Jones Family" series.
