MODERN NEWSPAPER
JUDGED BY ETHICS
Pulitzer Tells Students of Journal
ism Technical Efficiency Is
Not Criticized.

NEW YORK, May 2s.-The public's
criticism is not directed at the tech
nical. efficiency of journalism, but at
it's strength or. weakness judged by
ethical standards, Ralph Pulitzer said
in an address to graduates and under
graduates of the Pulitzer School of
Journalism, at a dinner celebrating the
tenth anniversary Of its founding by
Joseph Pulitzer.
Frank A vanderlip. Frank Ward
O'Mally and Melville E. Stone, coun-
sellor of the Associated Press, also
were speakers.
Standardization of newspapers was
described as the most dangerous tend
ency of the day by Frank A. Wander
lip. Too much attention was paid to
selling the papers, he said. and too
little to the making of them. The
modern newspaper, he continued, pub
lished more news but lacked the va
riety and personality of those of
twenty years ago. The growth of
publicity through press agents. he
said, had removed reporters from
contact with the source of facts.
"It is impossible for anybody to
read everything in the modern news
paper" Mr.. Vanderlip said. THE
papers publish a vast amount of in
consequential matter. apparently not
for intelligent people, but for the en-
tertainment OF morons."

PUPILS WIN FIGHT
FOR TRIPS TO D. c.
New England Editors
Charges of Too Gay Times
Here Are Not Proved.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, May 2S.-The
Washington trip" is saved.
Senior classes of New England
high schools will continue to make
their annual excursions to the ma
tion's capital. in spite of efforts Of
puritanical townsfolk to prove that
these trips have been gayer than
they should have been and also not
as "educationar as they might have
been.
The test case was fought out in
Uxbridge, Mass, where the editor of
the communitys weekly newspaper
published charges that the sixteen
members of the Washington party
wound up their weeks jaunt in New
York by attending a "burlesque
show" The burlesque show. 1t de-
veloped. was the Ziegfeld Follies.
In Uxbridge, Lester Taft, the editor
whose charges stirred UP all the trou-
BILE, was invited to air his allegations
before an open meeting of the school
board. The meeting was called and
Taft failed to show up. A second
not appear.
Final action took place when the
junior class of the Uxbridge High
School received permission to go
ahead with its entertainments and
candy sales, the proceeds of which
will be devoted to the Washington
trip next year. Hundreds of other
lower classmen in high schools all
over New England breathed easier.

CANNERYMEN TO HAVE HEARINGS
 ON TAX LEv|ES
Ways and Means Committee Hear Protests at Meet
 ing This Evening.

The first public discussion of the proposed graduated pack tax on salmon canneries for the next bien- nium will be held at s D. m. today in the hall of the House of Representa- tiyes before the Committee on Ways and Means. according to an an nouncement made today by Chair man Ross. A number of cannerymen now in town and representatives of other canneries are expected to ap- pear before the committee.
 Many protests, by wire and letter, as well as personal ones, have been made against the tax. Cannery in terests represent that the industry fs not prosperous and most of the canners are lin debt. Heavy increases in taxes, they argue, will result in unjust hardships being imposed on the industry.
 MT. Ross intimated that the Com mittee was disposed to reduce the proposed herring tax, which is 15 cents per hundred pounds. Nothing has been presented yet he said, to induce the committee to alter any other items on the schedule origin ally proposed.
 Cannerymen nov here include Au- gust Buschmann of the Deep Sea salmon Company; F. H. Bailey, Hoo nah Packing Company; W. J. Carl son. Aux Bay Canning and Salmon Qpnpany and former Senator J. R. Heckmap, of Ketchikan.
