CONSCIENCE IN TAX RETURNS
But Lfe Shown by Many People, Governor Baldwin Tells Tax Officials of the State-Perjury in Swearing to Re truns-New Standard Tax Form Will Unearth Much Personal Property Never Reached Before

the state as 8 whole will cah you good and faithful servants if you discharge tas the law provides"
 Attorney General Light.
 Attorney General Light in address ing the meeting said that revenue is the very life blood of state inssltu- tions. Taxation is a necessity. It is never justified except for public need. It cannot be imposed for private en- terprises nor for individual need. Very little property invested in business IS subject to taxation. The attorney general said he knew of one concern having hundreds of thousands invested and taxed for only $25,000. He said another has million and half ln- vested and is assessed for only $2Uo'- 000 It is almost impossible to ira Ile a law to secure equitable taaton. No town has a right to exempt Ihanufac- turing concerns. He said he had known good cIurchmen who would not cheat a man out of a farthing, but would swear to a false tax list. He thought it would be a. good idea for towns to have boards of equalization.

TRADE COMMISSION
 OF FIVE MEMBERS
Senate Measure Is at Variance with
 That of House.

Washington. March 24.-That trust legislation, long under consideration by committees in both branches of con- gress, will be considered in the senate Independently of house action, was practically assured today after a meet ing of the senate interstate commerce committee. The committee is draft ing a single bill to embrace all fea- lures of proposed regulations to sup plenent the Sherman law.
 Ignoring the revised house bill to create an interstate trade commission, the senate interstate commerce com merce committee has prepared as the keystone section of the proposed anti trust bill a measure which differs ma terially from the house measure. It proposes a commission of five instead of three members and would extend to the commission more authority than does the house bill.
