MARYLAND AUDITOR
BLAMES FAST LIVING
Says Extravagant Women and
Inflated Standards of Living
Cause Most Dishonesty

AAiAiRSSu lINlilS otdItudIuS, partial
payment purchasing, women's extra
VACANT demand upon their admirers,
and "war recklessness" are causing a
wave of dishonesty affecting business
throughout the country, according to
State Auditor Lewis NJ. Milbourne.
There is no question but that dis
honesty in financial matters is more
prevalent, Mr.. Milbourne said. He de-
clared it to be admitted by auditors
throughout the country.
Increase in the ratio of embezzle-
ment, theft and forgery by trusted
employees is likely to cause advances
in rates charged by bonding compan-
les for protection against losses, Mr.
Milbourne said Such advances are
said to be under consideration by
bonding and insurance concerns.
Mr.. Milbourn said that all the
blame for the wave of dishonesty
cannot be laid at the door of business
methods. Checks and audits designed
to prevent and discover dishonesty
are more thorough and efficient than
in past years, he declared.
However, according to the State
Auditor, business interests some
times place temptations before en-
ployeS by allowing small salaried en-
ployes to handle huge sums.
Tempting Employees
He said men who get small salar-
les should not be intrusted with the
responsibilities of large sums of
money.
High salaries and wages paid dur
ing and after the World War appar-
emily caused imitation of living stan
dards." Mr.. Milbourne declared.
"With defation came the need of
lowering these standards or securing
money in excess of salaries.
This situation apparently has
placed too great temptation before
many persons. Unwilling to deprive
themselves OF luXuries to which they
have become accustomed, large num-
bers have resorted to dishonesty.
"The war, for some reason, scans
to have brought about a recklessness
somewhat understandable in those
subjected to actual war experiences.
"This recklessness has spread, has
become almost a gambling fever"
Mr. Milhol1rna said this rpcl,IaSs
ness and initiation of living conditions
have made many persons demand
more pleasures and luXures.
Women Blamed
Unmarried men and youths, Mr..
Milbourne said, also are affected by
the Extravaganza of young women"
who demand frequently more than
the men can we'll afford.
He said this attitude has been ac-
centurated since women and girls
have entered the business world in
numbers. Able to afford the ineXren-
siye pleasures on their own account,
the feminine sex generally has in
creased demands upon male admir-
ers, he said.
He pointed out that theatres. din
ners, night clubs and taxis-even
once week-deplete the average
youths earnings to the point where
he must forego such pleasure or aug
ment his earnings in some way.

IDLE ACRES

Over three-ffths of the timber Ori- ginally in the United States is gone destroyed by fire and used in our advancing development as a great na- ton. Today we are cutting and burn ing our forests five times as fast as they grow. One-half of the timber remaining is in the three states on the Pacific Coast. We are the heavi- est users of wood of any people in the world, and we can not cut down our per capita use to the level of European countries and at, the same time continue to develop our great natural resources and maintain our country's industrial supremacy. The kernel of our problem is the enor- nous areas of forest land which is not producing the timber crops that they should We have 326 millions acres of cut-over land bearing no saw timber and S1 million acres de- wasted as the result of bad methods of cutting and repeated fires, pro- ducing nothing worth while. Each year we are adding from three to four million acres to this idle land as cutting and burning continue. We must stop devastating our remaining forests. We must put those idle acres at work growing trees. For est-ire prevention is an important part of the problem. We can all help in this. Let us never through carelessness be responsible for for est fire, and let us always strive to teach others the vital importance of the warning. Be careful with fire in the woods.

This is most gratifying news to the citizens of Seward and indicates that the progressive Seattle publication is intensely interested in the develop ment of the Territory in general and in Seward in particular. With the ad- dition of the Pacific Steamship com pany's steamers to the boat or two a year arriving in Seward the town will be placed on the map at last.

JACK M'CORD IS
 OPTIMISTIC OVER INISKIN BAY FIELD

Jack McCord, we'll known promoter and oil man, has leased the. concrete office building in the rear of l.. V. Rays office, and is having it over- hauled and renovated by Mir. Aron Ericson. MT. McCord is leaving to- night on the Admiral Watson. and when he returns from Anchorage will occupy the new offices and make Seward his headquarters for his oil properties and their development.
 MT. McCord is preparing to open up an oil field at Iniskin Bay, on Cook Inlet which was gone over and ap- proved recently by Geologist Moffatt. Mir. Calvin. government man, is on the Admiral Watson, with ten men and eight horses, and will go over the ground placing monuments for the surveyors to tie to. MT. McCord ex- poets to be in the field May 5. He received telegram today from his surveyor, Otis Ross, stating that he would leave Seattle May 16 to tie in the claims at Iniskin Bay.
 Mir. McCord states that when this is done the Superior Oil Company, which he has interested in the pro- ject, will start drilling there next July. Six major oil companies are now interested in the Kanatak field, MT. McCord declares, and he looks for intensive development in the oil bear ing fields to the westward this year.
 MT. McCord also declared that the General Petroleum Corporation would start development work in the Yaka- taga field this year, part of the ma- chinery having already been placed in the field.
 MT. McCord stated that while in Washington, D. C., he visited Coast and Geodetic Survey officials with a view to having maps made by air plane, and that Colonel Lester E. Jones, head of the department was in favor of the plan, but desired to first place his triangulation monuments in order that the pictures may be iden- tified. He also stated that an extra boat had been placed in Alaska this year. One of the motives of MT. Me Cord in interesting himself in the work is to secure an increased appro- priation for the Coast and Geodetic Survey, which was cut during the war from s150,O00 to s75,000, the original amount having never been restored. This year an appropriation of S75,0O0 was made, and this is not enough to carry on the work necessary along the west coast. It is expected that work to the westward will be practi- cally completed this year.
 Mir. McCord was enthusiastic in the matter and declared that all chambers of commerce should get behind the enterprise.
 While In the east ne lnterV1eWed the different departments in regard to grazing bill, giving authority to lease the many islands to the west ward for stock grazing, and says that when he left Washington a bill had been prepared for introduction to congress and that there was no doubt but that it would be passed, with the Department of Interior in charge.
 Mr. McCord is one of the most ener- getic and optimistic of Stewards oil men, and looks for much work to be done in the several districts this year
