“This waa sent to me. Put it in

weak, together with the bear story,
from a brother sportsman, ]*. A. Pook.
I am very grateful for the story and
I kiow that all the readers will agree
with Mr. Pook that it is a “bear of a
beer story.” Well, here it is:
“Captain C. S. Leary, chief govern
ment whip in the British Columbia
leg'slature, stirs the Yuletide log and

Once he caught a bear by the tail—

near Burton City, in Southeastern
British Columbia.
Not a sign of

I heard the hoot of an owl and took
a shot at it as it perched on an old
cedar eighty feet up. It toppled over
and I went to get it, but it was not
to be found. The cedar was rotted
and had broken off, so I decided Mr.
Hooter lay atop and I climbed up,
leaving my gun. The big tree was

There lay my owl. I couldn't climb
out and it was late afternoon. I had
a two-bladed hunting knife and de

through the tree. Snap went the
blade. I opened the other. Just then
I heard my dog growling—-then a
yelp and all was quiet. It was get

through the opening at the top.
Then a cloud seemed to obscure
them. A dark object started down-

bedroom, with only a small blade in
close quarters. I had to do some
thing in a hurry and I Mid. As Bruin
came within reach I grabbed his tail,
jabbed him in the rump with the
blade and yelled like a Comanche In
dian. He stopped for a split second
and started up again. Hanging onto
his tail, jabbing and yelling, I went
up with him. When he got to the
top he tumbled over and nearly took
me with him. I was afraid to ven

perched on top until daylight. By

the near future.

Safeway President Talks
on Taxation Increases
The public always pays the bill of
ncrepsed
taxation regardless of
whether the tax is concealed or di
rect, L. A. Warren, president of
Safeway Stores, Inc., said in a state
ment issued today on the present tax
crisis.
“Specific taxes by themselves,” Mr.
Warren said, “may not appear bur-
iensome, although in view of the un
ceasing effort to impose new taxes it
ihould be remembered that the total
tax burden is constantly absorbing a
treater share of the national income.
“As a matter of fact it is estimated
hat the 1935 national tax bill will be
n excess of 350 per cent above the
1913 level. The year previous the
country’s tax bill amounted to S».-
500,000.000, whereas the national in
come totaled only »47.600.000,000
This means that taxes absorbed 20
per cent of the total national income.
“Even the most simple analysis Wi'l
eveal to any thinking citizen that the
ndividual consumer must, in the
long run, pay the bill. It means that
1 constantly increasing share of the
ndividual income will be inevitably
absorbed by an ever-heavier tax-
burden.
“Economic recovery, as a conse-
qucnce, will be blocked, for in the
final reckoning the properity of the
nation is based on the properity of its
.ndividual citizens.
“It is false logic to expect any busi
ness to operate'under an oppressive
tax burden for if the tax,to suffi
ciently heavy to erase all profit and
substitute a loss, evil consequences,
such as increased prices, unemploy
ment, or a diminution of the tax base
result, and as a consequence the con
sumer, as always, is forced to pay the
tax bill in the form of a higher cost
of living,” Mr. Warren concluded.
