OLYMPIA, March 4-The legisla-
ture has given the approval to the
criminal code but the house today be-

ors named in the code is that of tip
ping employees Of public houses or

hauling our own goods. He called at
tention to the fact that whereas fifty
years ago we were transporting 80
per cent of our own merchandise,
American vessels are now carrying
only seven per cent.
Declaring that the government had
done nothing to encourage American
shipping since its abandonment OF dis
eliminating duties, Mr.. Elkins called
attention to the perfection sof our
coastwise shipping service.
We have he said. ''the finest
coastwise shipping in the world. We
