phoned to the military police head
quarters at Camp Lewis, where the
officer on duty informed Officer Med
licott that the missing car had just
arrived and that Mr.. Nagley could
reclaim it by calling for it. He did
so. The same Ford took an un-

INCREASED VALUE
NATURAL RESOURCES
TAXABLE AS INCOME
Declares Supreme Court in Suit In
vOlving Many Large Estates
in Decision

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1S.--
The federal government, by deci-
sion Of the supreme court Monday.
won one Of the most important tax
suits in recent years, when the court
decreed that the increased value OF
natural resources held by corpora
ton is profit and therefore is taxable
as income.
The suit involved many estates and
a large amount Of money will be kept
in the treasury as the result OF the
decision. @
The decision was appealed by the
New York Trust company, as execu-
tors, from a decision Of the district
court at New York sustaining the po-
sition of the government and the law.
J. Harsen Purdy of New York, by
his will left property in the states OF
New York, New Jersey. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Kansas and Colorado and
in all these states taxes amounting to
$37,769 were paid. The federal gov
eminent then assessed a tax OF 1885,
90 and refused to allow the heirs to
deduct from the amount taxable the
payments to the states.
The refusal to allow the deduction
and the validity of the law were sus-
tanned by lower courts.

this is living wage for Hungary.

DEMAND ENCU[FS
LOCAL FACTORY
Olympia Box and Package
Company Rushed With
Northwest Orders
VENEER MARKET
RECAINS STRENGTH
Prospective Stockholders Send In.
quiries from Many COmmuni.
ties ON Coast

Inquiries from prospective stock
holders are being received from
many points throughout British Co.
lumbia, Washington. Oregon and
California by the Olympia Box and
Package company, according to
George w. Hutton, president of the
new cooperative concern which has
taken over the plant and business of
the Pacific Veneer company. Six
families have recently moved into
the city and have become comfort
ably settled in their new homes
while the heads of the families have
joined the box and package company
and are now busily engaged in filling
orders for berry boxes and crates
which are taxing the capacity of the
plant.
Last week two carloads of stock
were shipped out, and this week the
output is expected to equal that
amount Orders are pouring IN from
Portland, Hood River, Puyallup and
White Salmon for strawberry boxes
and crates. Seattle is continually
sending in orders for box stock.
Mr.. Hutton attributes the heavy
demand to the expectation Of heavy
yield Of strawberries combined with
the fact that most of the private
veneer and box factories are shut
down.
Install Four Machines.
Four machines for making berry
boxes, two motive power, and two
foot power, were received by the
company last week which were pur-
chased through the Star Machinery
company of Seattle, and made by the
St. Joe Iron Works of St. Joe, Mich
igan. AS rapidly as the demand in
creases and capital is secured ad-
ditional equipment will be installed.
The market for panels and veneer
stock in general has strengthened
considerably during the last few
weeks, according to Mr.. Hutton, and
the prospects for an active season
are very bright.
Need More Men.
The Olympia Box and Package
company was incorporated on April
IS, 1921, with a capital stock OF
$4,000. Officers elected at the first
business meeting are: George w.
Hutton, president; James G. Sans,
vice president; Harry e. VanArsdale,
secretary; Howard H. harrington,
treasurer; Frank B. Myers and
james O. Marts, trustees. The in
corporators aim to give local men the
first opportunity to join the COM
pany, which is organized on a strictly
cooperative basis. Each worker
stakeholder takes one share worth
$500. No member is allowed to ex-
coed that amount of stock. New
members are arriving every week
from outside communities and are
becoming actively engaged in the en-
terprise.

ment, certain war industries should be
encouraged to maintain skeleton or
ganizations through which they could
develop the rapid manufacture of
guns, munitions, airplanes, and other
direct military equipment. This
might be done in some cases through
government purchases of factories, in
others through the placing Of suffi.
Gent orders to permit the owners t.
keep the plants in existence.
these measures are suggested as
direct methods Of insuring against
some of the heavy losses and unfor-
tunate delays which the country ex-
perienced in the process Of converting
its industries from peace to a war
basis. They involve very small cur
rent expenditures, but are capable of
being instruments for saving many
millions of dollars in an emergency"
Curb Vicious Practices
Regarding the advantages and dis
advantages Of huge industrial organ
izations, Baruch says:
1.-THE country will quite properly
demand the vigorous enforcement of
all proper measures for the suppress
sion of unfair competition and unrea-
sonable restraint Of trade. But this
essentially negative policy Of curb
ing vicious practices should, in the
public interest, be supplemented by a
positive program, and to this end the
experience of the War Industries
Board points to the desirability of In
vesting some government agency, per-
haps the Department of Commerce OF
the Federal Trade Commission, with
constructive as well as inquisitorial
powers.
"Such a plan should provide way
OF approaching industry, or rather Of
inviting industry to approach the
government, in friendly spirit, with
a view to help and not to hinder. II
is recommended that such practices
OF cooperation and coordination in
industry as have been found to be
clearly of public benefit should be
stimulated and encouraged by gov
eminent agency, which at the same
time would be clothed with the power
and charged with the responsibility
of standing watch against and pre-
venting abuses"
