tions are purposely held down, or
arid-land districts.
While our sympathies are always
with the poor and unfortunate, we
have noticed that communities having
good schools have had to pay dearly
for them, and we have noticed some
communities not minded to pay high
taxes where there were poor
schools; and now we have this $50
10" movement which, if adopted, will
tax the progressive, enterprising,
well-to-do communities to pay the
bills of the slothful, er-do-well dis
tricts; and while the strong and Wig
orous-minded should help carry the
load of the weak and feeble, this plan
seems to us intended to saddle too
much of that load onto the willing
beasts of burden while the wild asses,
eating from the same crib, canter
about the hills or lie in the sunny val
leys care-free and indolent.

Senator Poindexter, chairman OF
the senate committee on mines, says
that there is no hope of further sus-
pension of assessment work on min
ing claims. This work has been eX-
cused for four years and now that
there are many idle men and bust
ness is approaching normal, the COM
mittee is opposed to suspension. Mine
owners must do the work and this
ought to give employment to a con-
siderable number of men in this state
and especially in the Leavenworth
district. Some of the mines have
been developing and the failure to eX-
cuse assessment work will make no
difference with them. Others must be
worked or go back to the govern

HERE'S A NEW BUG
THAT CAUSES TROUBLE

Research at the University of
Washington on the subject of the ear
wig, the European insect pest, which
has been causing considerable trouble
for Seattle gardeners, has revealed
many peculiar habits of the insect.
The pest confines its activities to
warm nights. In the day time and on
cold nights it hides under stones, in
logs and under thick bushes. In the
winter time it hibernates, appearing
about the middle of April and re-
naming active until the latter part
of July
In Europe, the insect is common but
is seldom present in large numbers
and is considered comparatively
harmless. In Seattle the earwig has
collected in Mount Baker park and
on Queen Anne hill and Beacon hills.
The insect is playing havoc with
the gardens in the localities men,
toned. The young earwig feeds on
green shoots, the bases of the petals
of blossoms and on the stamens. The
adult eats all flowers, plants and
trees. 1t is especially destructive to
roses, dahlias and chrysanthemums.
When there is a scarcity Of other
foods these plants are practically de-
foliated by the insect.
The earwig is equipped with wings
but they are very flimsy and the in
sect does not fly. 1t sometimes en-
ters houses and eats flour, sugar,
meals, butter, and green vegetables.
Although the earwig is essentially a
vegetarian, it also eats other insects
and in cases of serious food shortage
it eats others of its own kind.

All business is now reported as on
the up grade throughout the United
States. This should not be con-
strued to mean that everything has
reached its lowest level in point of
price. Prices are still high on many
staples and the cost of living is far
above normal. Wages are still high
too, in some instances, but the cost of
living is out of proportion to the high
er wages, and until the real level in
the cost of merchandise, hansporta-
ton and production is reached there
will be discomfort.

GERMAN FINANCIAL
REFORMS COSTLY
20 Billion Paper Marks Will
BE Required in Next Two
Years.

BERLIN, Jan. Is. ASSOCIATED Press).
Germany will require another 10000
| 100000 paper marks in the course OF
the next two years to enable the Cow
ernment to complete its internal finan-
cial reforms. says George Bernhard in
the Vossischc Zeitung to-day.
Herr Bernhard advocates radical re-
organization OF the Reichsbank, which
he declares under it's present charter
and capital of 300.00o.000 marks no
longer is able to cope with the nations
chaotic finances. The demand is made
by the writer that the bank be divorced
fronl all affiliations with the central
Government and given the gold capital
OF 1,000.000.000 marks which has been
subscribed to 1t at home and abroad.
No opposition is advanced by Herr
Bernhard to foreign participation in the
directorate of the bank. He suggests
this be not only confined to the Entente
States but that 1t also shall include
neutral interests. He expresses the be-
lief that an international directorate
would be preferable to control through
an Entente commission.
The relief expressed over the tempo
rary respite granted Germany in con-
now gives way to contemplation on the
part OF Ger1nanys editors to the man
ner in which the German Government
will be able to meet the allied demand
for specific memoranda bearing on the
problem Of internal reforms and guar
antees.
1T is most precarious undertake
ing says the Vossische Zeitung, "espe-
cially in view OF the circumstances. The
present Government only commands mi
nority support In the Reichstag, and is
not in position to appraise the strength
of its parliamentary opposition. The
Reparations Commission actually ex-
poets the German Government to solve
the whole complex range of reparations
issues In the space Of two weeks, an un-
dertaking which the allied Governments
among themselves have been unable to
do during the last two years."
The Frdnkfurter Zeitu,tg says Ger
| many is placed in a most peculiar posi-
tion through the request Of the commits
sion, inasmuch as the problem which
the Cannes conference was to have
solved in conjunction with the German
delegates now is unloaded on Germany.

OPPOSE GERMANY'S GOLD
BEING SENT TO LONDON
Berlin Nationalist Press
Warns 1t NeDer viii Return.

Special Cable to THE New York HERALD.
Copyright, 1929, bv The NEw York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin, Jan. Is.
The Nationalist press here strongly
objects to the forthcoming deposits with
the Bank of England Of $4,000. 900 gold
marks of the Reichsbank's reserve fund.
News of this decision reached the Ger
man public simultaneously with the re-
port of the breaking up OF the allied
Supreme Council meeting in Cannes.
The Tagiithe Rundschdn admits the
advisability of the measure, however.
since 1t is intended to avoid economic
shocks and violent exchange fluctuations
which invariably attend great purchases
by the German Government of foreign
currency for reparation payments. The
only argument that 1t uses against the
transfer of these funds to London Is
based on mistrust of England. lie refers
to England's seizure of German prop
erty at the outbreak of the war in 1914
and says: I'VE cannot have the same
beautiful confidence, as have the heads
of the Relchsbank, in the absolute Sc
curity of English trusteeship."
Germany is sinking to the level OF
the British dominions or exotic republics
which have likewise deposited gold with
European obligations" declares the
Deutsche Tagosseitun0. 1t refers to the
fact that the Reichsbank opposed the
French demand few months ago that
il transfer the Reichsbank gold reserve
10 the occupied territory. and asserts
that now this very thing is done with
England. Germany thereby putting her
neck under the British yoke in the finan-
cial field also.
The TdOesseitunJ says the only ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that the Dutch
financiers also demand that London be
the place OF deposit for German gold is
the intention to make Il the worlds
money center. Finally it reveals that
tho Rcichsbank had offered to deposit
silver with the Bank Of England. on the
important of which the British Gov
ernment intended to charge 26 per cent.
import duty. while IL refrains from maxi
ing any charge on the gold shipments.
The TdDes=eitung interprets this as evi-
dence OF England's desire TO induce Ger
many TO intrust her gold to British
hands.
