DEPRESSION COMES
FR0MTAR|FFLAVS
Without War, Conditions
Would Have Been Worse
Says Perkins.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2a.-Georre !

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-George w.
Perkins. director of the United States
Steel Corporation and prominent in
other big enterprises, continued his
testimony before the Federal Com.
mission on Trade Regulations.
Mr.. Perkins having testified that he
hoped to see the day when large cor.
po%rations would have to 20 to the
federal government for a charter In
which profit sharing would be made,
and that profit sharing could be an.
piled to- small corporations provided
there were full publicity, Commission.
er Weinstock wanted to know what
would happen in the event there were
no profits to be divided and whether
the workers would bear the burdens
OF adversely as well as prosperity.
That is the immediate condition
OF the United States Steel Corpora.
ton at the present time said Mr..
Perkins. For the first time in our
history, we have profits to divide"
But II adverse conditions continue
will there not be discontent?"
Il believe in the intelligence OF the
worker. I give him credit for know.
ing the cause OF the present indus.
trial depression. Everybody knows
that the present depression in the
steel industry is due to our present
tariff law"
Labor Organizations Needed.
What condition would ensue IL Ia.
Dor Organizations were entirely wip.
ed out?"
Chaos would follow. as IT would
were u present large industrial cor.
porations wiped OUT
What + the weak spots in or.
ganized labor?"
Tyranny and disregard of the
rights of others, Just as these are
also the weak spots in big business.
But l believe that there has been. a
change in the attitude of business
during the last five years"
"i' eihiHe' saiu MTs. hartman
Of the commission, do you think
that without our present tariff law
general conditions would have been
the same because of The European
war??"
Il think" said Mr.. Perkins, that IL
there had been no war and we had
the present tariff law conditions
would have been worse than they are.
and that IL the tariff law isn't chang.
ed the industrial depression will con.
tinuc."
Mr.. Perkins said frequently that
business ought TO have a chance. He
declared that legislation had been
unfair to business ever since the pas.
sage Of the act.

On Revised Charge

PASSPORT CASE PRlNcl.
PALS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-An amended

reservists was filed by the govern
ment authorities against Maurice
Dieches, a., New York lawyer, Carl
Rurode, Hans Adam Won wedel, four
German reservists and others 'involv-
ed in the case.
This action was taken after Federal
Judge Hand sustained writs of habeas
corpus sworn out in behalf OF three Of
the ~reservists and Rurode, their coun.
Gil contending that the original com.
plant did not designate any overt
acts.
The four prisoners were rearrested
on the new complaint, which ampliies
the old one by charging that Rurode
delivered a false passport to the de-
PENDANT, Heinrich Sachse, and that
Won wedel rented a room at the Elks'
Club in this city for the purpose OF
obtaining passports for German vol.
unteers.
Joseph A. Baker. Of the local bureau
Of investigation Of the department OF
Justice, who filed the complaint, set
forth as a part Of 1t that for him 70

would be injurious TO the government
case and against public policy.

manded an examination, which was

ARREST WHOLESALE
DRUG DISTRIBUTOR

Forging, link by link, from almost
intangible clews, deputies from the
sheriff's office today welded a chain
of evidence that resulted in the ar
rest of Dan NJ Lomax, an itinerant
cutlery grinder, who, the officers be-
lieve, is the center of a gang of il
licit drug distributors. The arrest was
made by Undersheriff H. w. Ander-
son after Lomax had received con-
signment of the drug from Memphis,
Tenn. ~
For weeks Lomax, known to the Of
ficers as a drug user, has been under
surveillance. Suspected as the GEN.
trail point of the nefarious distribu-
tion, Lomax has been closely watched
and today, when he received the pack
age, the officers were lying in wait.
He was taken to the county Jail,
where deputies ripped open the pack
age, disclosing six bottles and two
large tins of morphine-more than
500 worth of the subtle drug.
"What did you do with the pack
age you received last week." queried
one of the deputies.
Lomax stoutly denied having re-
ceived previous consignment and de-
clared the contents of the package con-
fiscated by the officers were unknown
to him. He admitted that he was ad-
dicted to the use of narcotics.
A search of the mans clothing
failed to disclose more of the drug,
Lut an intensive overhauling of Lo-
maX's car by Deputy Jack Graham
yielded two drug bottles, the contents
of which the officers were unable to
identify.

HAS YOUR PROPERTY
BEEN ASSESSED YET ?

If not, it soon will be for 1915, and
when you sign the assessment sheet
and swear to it there is only one of
three things that you can do. In the
statement you will be asked how
much "mones and credits" you have.
Then you will do one of these three
things-you will, first, tell the truth
and pay $50 taxes on every $1,000 of
cash you have; or, second, you will
"stunt your conscience" and run the
risk of prosecution for perjury; or,
third, you will deposit your money
in the Savings Department of the Sc
clrity Commercial and Savings;
then you can tell the truth as to the
exact amount and NOT BE TAXED,
for funds deposited in SAVINGS
BANKS are EXEMPT FROM TAXA
TION. And, besides, the Security
Bank is a good bank-a growing bank
and wants your business. MARCH
FIRST is assessment day."

And he arose and followed Him.
Mark 2:1I.
Some people think that they can't be
converted unless they 20 down on their
knees in the straw at a camp-meeting,
unless they pray all hours OF tho night
and all nights of the week, while some
old brother storms heaven in prayer.
Some think a man must lose sleep, must
come down the aisle with q haggard look,
that he must froth at the mouth and
dance and shout.
81 a you to see what God put In
black n white; that there can be a

that man can be converted as quietly as

CHANCE TO FIGHT.
You men have a chance to show your
manhood. Then in the name OF your
pure mother, in the name of your man

pure. innocent children that climb up In
your lap and put their arms around
your neck, in the name of all that Is
good and noble. fight the curse. Shall

ballot, and in that ballot hold the destiny

my home, my mother and my children
and the manhood OF America
"By tho mercy of God, which has given
to you the mistaken and unshakable
confidence of her love. I beseech
you make a fight FOR the women who
wait until the saloons spew out their
husbands and their sons, and send them
home maudlin. british, devilish, shrinking,
blear-eyed, bloated-faced drunkards."

people get religion. What 1 want and
preach In the fact that n man can be
converted without any fuss.
"As 7 understand the Bible every case
OF miraculous healing resulted In a con-
version. The man didn't dance. he didn't
I shout, he was not excited, he war not be-
side himself. He quietly did hat the
Lord told him. He took UP his bed and
| walked. He didn't run nor jump. The
next time we see him he is in the temple
worshiping God.
II challenge any one who dares SAP
that people do not get converted at these
meetings. II you do not believe that man
was saved come down here and measure
yourself up with him., Put your old car
cass alongside OF his and see how you
stand.
How many slaps In tho face have
you taken for being true to Jesus7 How
many sneers have yOu withstoOd for
being true TO Jesus7 It cost him some

of lnfamy. II you are robblng God. III you
are making your clerks work long hours,
IL you pny them poor wages, II YOU sold
that mining stock and knew that It was

Note this, you who don't believe In
quick conversions. When you find any
thing I'm Matthew's gospel hat you like
particularly, remember II was written by

keeping you back7 You can't act too
quickly about your SOULS salvation. The
manly thing, the womanly thing, the sane
thing is to do wha God tells you TO do
to arise and follow Him.
When Matthew decided to follow Jesus
there were no signs or wonders being
shown; there was no undue pressure or
undue excitement; there was no clafnof
