 some years ago at one of our largest southern Baptist conventions, Rev. Lansing Burrows decided to omit the welcome address. saying You are welcome, or we would not have asked you to come. How glad l am that our president, Mrs. W. NJ. Sanford, did not omit our welcome and that this greatest joy and honor of the convention is mine. In be- half of our beloved Parker Memorial church. with it's Woman's Mission ary union, with the T. W. S's, c. Al, R. As and l.. B.

The proposal of the Metropolitan Building Company was at first turn ed down flatly, by the board of re- gents. Their refusal of the offer of the company reused storm of dis approval from commercial organiza- tions and newspapers of Seattle, which had hailed the announcement of the plans of the company as the realization of the long-cherished dream of Seattle to possess a really great hotel.
 Out of the controversy that arose, it now appears that the board of re- gents did not intend their refusal of the proposition of the company as a termination of negotiations and eff forts are now under way to effect a settlement of questions involved which will enable the Metropolitan Building Company to go ahead and finance their hotel project and the university to get the advantage of the increase in the value of its tract and of the revenues from it, which the construction of the hotel will bring.

TAX REDUCTIONS WOULD HELP

A revision of federal taxation is one of the foremost governmental problems. Successful action in this field would result in q needed stimu- Jus to business activity. It is not only a right apportionment of the tax burden that is needed; the vol ume of taxes should be kept as low as is consistent with sound fiscal pol icy. Secretary Mellon's insistence that expenditures be curtailed will be generally approved.
 The war and navy departments af- ford the largest opportunities at the present time for reduction in pub lie expenditures without counterbal- ancing losses to the public. Of the total ordinary expenditures for the first three quarters of the present fiscal year. $3,7S4,0O0.000, approxi- mately $l.S5O. O.OOO,000. or 35 per cent. was expended by these two de- partments.

SMUGGLERS RUN WILD
Traffic Carried on Huge Scale on
 German Border.
Customs Officials Are In Plots and Government Is Unable to
 Check Evil.

Berlin.-Smuggling over the Dutch and Danish frontiers, which the Ger man government had gone to great eff fort to suppress, again is tiourishing lon q colossal scale," and at some points with the full knowledge and cOnnivance of many government ofli- cials, according to reports reaching here.
 Smugglers are declared to be out bidding the government for the aid of dishonest officials, and the "ver- itable army of customs officers on the borders have permitted millions Of marks worth of tobacco, cigars, ciga- rettes, coffee and sugar to cross the border duty free within the last few months"
 Flying squadrons of customs officers have been organized by the govern ment to catch the smugglers who are said to have so thoroughly system atized their operations that "cust0ms receipts are rapidly falling back to nothing, for custom control is again only on paper"
 Fifty thousand pounds of coffee are being smuggled over the border daily at one point, a report says, and snug glers everywhere are working with the sympathy and assistance of all dwell lers along the frontiers.
 Men, women and even children, are said to be engaged in this trade. High prices, low wages of customs officials and the depreclated value of the mark Is credited as one of the principal causes for the widespread violation of Import and export regulations.
 The smugglers are described as be- Ing so well organized and so conh- dent they carry on their business "hy land and wholesale scale, and quite onenly."

WANT BIGGER HOTELS

Every citizen ot the state has an interest in the nesctiations now go- iug on between the board of regents og the University of Washington and the Metropolitan Building Company over the proposal of the company to erect a $&.uoo.00O hotel on land in the heart oI Seattle leased from the university by ,ae company in 1904.
 The primary interest oi ,he citi- zenS of the state lies in the fact the university owns ten acres of land un- der lease to the company for fifty years. from which the university draws revenue which reduces taxa.
