l5 P. [. SURTAX|S MONDELL'S POLICY Thinks This Should Be Maxi.
 mum in Any Revision GOVT. TAKES TOO MUCH
 
Former House Leader Declares Money Will Be Tight As Long As Investor Has To Take All the Chances.

Minneapolis, June IS R-A sur tax of fifteen per cent was advocated today by Frank W. Mondell, war finance corporation member and former republican leader of the house. as the maximum levy which congress should fix in any revision of the tax laws. He told the Minne- apolis civic and commerce associ- ation that this maximum should pro- duce the greatest amount of rev. enue possible and provide the least disturbance to business.
 Amount Is Only Question
 Mir. Mondell said that the ques- ton before the American taxpayer now is not whether there should be a surtax reduction but how much it should be reduced.
 There is of course" he continued ground for difference of opinion as 10 how fast and how far the high surtaxes should be reduced. When the maximum tax was fifty per cent Secretary Mellon recommended re- duction of one.half. It istnow forty per, cent, and similar THduction would bring it down 10 tweRsy per cent.
 Thinks 15 r. c. Enough
 "A number of prominent members of the house of representatives and senators, democrats and republicans. ,boya ayuraccad tbap,,al1.a, ,p f,ynr able to reduction to twenty per cent. While l am not tax expert. l agree with the experts that we shall obtain the largest contribu- tions to the treasury from the large fortunes and have the least interfer- ence with business under a rate not fifteen per cent; and .hope that rate will be reached at 'the earliest possible date" Much Money Is Tied Up
 : Mr. Mondell declared 1t was un- necessary to emphasize the "tre- 'mendously damaging effect" of high surtaXes by keeping the large for tunes out of competitive business and industry. While there is no longer the demand for pioneering" investments of the character of fifty years ago, Mir. Mondell said, it Is even now necessary 10 provide new money" in countless enterprises, particularly in the middle western and northwestern regions.
 He added that funds were needed in almost every city of the country to add to housing facilities, but de- clared that money would not be forthcoming in abundance so long as the investor had to take all of the chances and the federal gov ernment's taxes took big share Of the profits.

Dispatch From North American Newspaper Alliance States That Missing Explorer Has Returned to Spitzber- gen From His North Pole Flight.

New York, June IS (AP)-- The North American News paper Alliance announced today that Roald Amundsen the ex- plorer, has returned to Spitz- bergen from his North Pole flight.
 Bernon s. Prentice, brother in-law of Lincoln Ellsworth, co-leader of the expedition, said he had received word that all six members of the expedi- tion had returned safely to Spitzbergen.
 It was 2S days ago, on the afternoon of Thursday, May 21, that the Amundsen-Ellswort airplane expedition of two machines hopped off from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, for its attempted flight to the north pole. The venture was one at which the world held it's breath, for the plunge out over the Arctic wastes was every- where counted one of extreme righteousness.
New Britain herald., 1925-06-18

New York, June IS (AP)-- It was reported here this after- noon that a message had been received at Spitzbergen from Roald Amundsen, the explorer. Am all right" There was no confirmation of this report from authoritative sources.
 The possibility of Amund- sens sending any wireless mes sage from the Arctic is not ap- parent and therefore casts doubt upon the authenticity of. the report. He had no wire less on his airplanes and could send no messages.

REGATTA CROWDS ARE

City Blossoms Out in Blue and CrimsOn-Rival
 Crews Ready

New London, June IS R-New London blossomed forth in blue and crimson today s5 tho advance guard of the throng which assemblies each year for the Yale-Harvard crew re- gatta on the Thames river began to arrive in preparation for the 5Sth renewal of the classic races to- morrow.
 The prospect that this year Har- yard varsity crew would have power 10 extend the blue eight and pos- sibly end Yale's winning streak, which began in 1921, will attract to New London tomorrow greater crowd than attended a regatta here for several years.
 Applications for seats on the ob- servation trains which will follow the races on either bank of the Thames were more numerous than in other years, officials said, and the accommodations for New London hotels were bespoken well in ad- vance.
 It was expected that the majority of crew followers would arrive by automobile tomorrow as has been the custom of late years and special road regulations have been put up to control the rush of traffic.
 Showers greeted early arrivals to- day but fair weather was promised for tomorrow. A light northwest breeze prevailing in the afternoon ruffled the surface of the river but was not expected to interfere with the combination crew race. the first event of the regatta. scheduled for 4 o'clock eastern standard time. In all races Harvard will row on the west or New London side of the Thames, with Yale on the east or Groton side.

London, June IS R-Official quarters in London have received no confirmation of the report that negotiations at Shanghai for the set- clement of differences arising from the recent riots there have been broken.
 However. officials expressed the view that if the report is true seri- ous complications may follow and that the rupture of the Shanghai negotiations will probably affect ad- versely the more important negotia- tons and communications now un- der way at Picking.

Sugar Beets Aid
Western Prosperity

NEW YORK.-No small part Of the
Improvement in business conditions
during the past three months in a
number of western states, according
to reports from officers of credit as
sociations to Facts About Sugar"
has been due to the distribution to
farmers within that period of upward
of $50, 100000 in advance payment for
the 10000, OO0-ton crop of sugar beets
harvested this year. This amount Of
cash, put into circulation on success
sive pay days in three months Of last
year has proved powerful stimulus
to increased purchases, liquidation of
loans and general business activity.
Sugar beets are grown in IL states,
extending from Ohio and Michigan In
the east to California in the west.
The leading state in point of produc-
ton is Colorado and throughout the
Rocky Mountain, Intermountain and
Pacific Coast sections the beet crop
is one of the agricultural mainstays.
The crop this year was very good
one except in Utah, Idaho and Wash
ington, where it suffered from drouth.

Investigate Complaints
Against Idaho Lawyers

| BOISE, Idaho.-It has been learned
here that between 40 and so COM
! plants, which may involve profession
al disbarment in some instances, have
been lodged with the executive COM
mittee of the Idaho state bar Mem
bers of the committee refused to COM
ment upon the nature of the cases,
but admitted that the complaints had
been placed before the committee.
The authority to disbar lies with
the state supreme court, but that
tribunal has always acted only upon
the recommendation Of the association
in such cases.
Since hte law passed by the 1928
legislature was made imperative by
decision of the supreme court there
have been no actions upon complaints
within the last two years and they
have accumulated.
However, since the former law was
] SO amended by the last session of the
state legislature as to give 1t force,
these complaints will now be given
consideration with the least possible
delay and transmitted to the supreme
court for its approval or disapproval
in each individual case.
The committee has completed the
formation of rules and regulations to
govern it's work, but will not make an
announcement of them until they
have been approved by the state SUI
preme court.
In the future the committee will
hold all bar examinations and have
charge of the work of discipline and
procedure in dealing with members OF
the bar against whom complaints have
been made.

Hailed as notable addition to the
group of national parks the scenic
wonderland embracing Zion National
Park, Bryce Canyon and Cedar
Breaks in Southern Utah will open on
May Is, with full rail and motor trans
port service, national park lodges and
other conveniences Of modern travel
The opening this year is the climax
of development carried on by state
and federal government, National
Park Services, Forest Service and the
railroad in which the Union Pacific
has expended nearly two million dol
lars in addition to large sumo appro-
priated by the government agencies
for modern connecting highways.
The history Of Zion National Park
is. as colorful as one of it's own chro.
matte peaks. Discovered by the early
Mormons when Brigham Young col
onized the beautiful Dixie country Of
Southern Utah, 1t was regarded by the
pioneers as place of refuge from
possible Indian raids. The Indians
held the gigantic abyss in great fear
and called 1t Mukuntuweap or home
of the spirits, and would not enter 1t
far or remain in it after nightfall. The
settlers called 1t Little Zion" Occa-

"My profound satisfaction in CO.

The following endorsement of the

an estimated income Of $225,000 a

depths, majestic spaces and indie.
scribable coloring became known un-
til 1t was finally set aside as a ma
tional monument by the government.
In 1919 1t was made a national park
by President Wilson. Zion itself Is
but the center of q group OF equally
spectacular attractions. The multi
colored fairyland OF Bryce Canyon lies
short distance to the eastward.
Cedar Breaks, a monsterous bowl
eroded In hundreds of iridescent
shades is cut out of the Kolob Plateau
to the north, and lions entrance is
through the beautiful Dixie country
to the south.
While it's fame as scenic wonder
grew nationwide, comparatively few
visitors were heretofore able to see 1t
because of the former lack of proper
accommodations. This year a railroad
line is built to the gateway at Cedar
City where the hotel Ell Escalante has
been opened. National park lodges
with all attendant facilities will be
ready for the opening in Zion Canyon
and at Bryce. The motor transpor-
tation system using buses similar In
model but of later design than any
heretofore used in any national park
will be run on the loop between Cedar
City, Zion, Bryce Canyon and Cedar
Breaks. The development will enable
the wonderland to be opened for the
first time with accommodations to
properly care for volume of gen.
eral travel in similar manner to the
Yellowstone and other parks.

Up the canyon are the three Patri-
OTIS, Triplet Peaks, which guard a
monstrous rock walled ampitheatre.
Against the zenith towers the colos-
sal monolith of the great White
Throne and across rising the crimson
pyramid Of Angels Landing. The
Temple Of Sinawaba farther up the
canyon is circular ampitheatre
whose walls rise straight for over
5000 feet. From inside it neither en-
trance or exit can be seen, and in It's
center stands two pillars of odd
shaped stone, which legend calls the
idle Rocks of this place Of prehis-
toric worship.
Still farther into its depths the
canyon narrows down to mere slit
in the earth where four horsemen
with arms outstretched can span it's
width. In the Narrows where the
walls still rise for more than half
mile upward the stars have been seen
at noon.
Zion is a riot of contrasting color.
First are the red cliffs in thousands
of feet of shade ranging from deep
blood to a light salmon. Surmount-
ing them are dazzling white strata,
and at an altitude of $500 feet above
the Canyon floor another layer of col
ored earth crust caps the white, this
one lighter pink. 1t is spectacle
which adds something entirely differ
ent to Americas famous scenic play
