Criminal Judge James A. Collins
last Friday ordered the prosecutor to
continue the probe and file affidaVits,

this after the grand jury was dis
charged because one of its mem

Duvall inaicated aftidavits may be
filed against Remy and others in

he and his advisors had reached no
definite conclusion as to the course
to pursue.

ably the various aspects of the reve-
nue. Dill, but that he had a reverse
picture to give. The Texan attached
what he said was practice by the
senate of unnecessarily amending bills
that originated in the house, predlct-
ing that tax legislation would be COM
pllcated and hindered by senate ac-
tlvities after it had left the house.
Holding that Secretary Mellon was
the strongest man in this country,
by virtue of his financsa1 position,
and almost controls the economic sit
uation OF the world, Garner suggest
ed to the republicans "if you are
going to nominate az president to
carry out the present administration
policies you could not get a better
man than Andrew w. Mellon.
"He has approved every admins
tration speech for the last five years
and directs the republican policies, !"
he added
(, Garner reiterated his charge, made
during recent tax hearings by the
committee, that treasury officials in
tentionally had misled the people re-
garding estimated Surpluses. He cited
a number of discrepancies between
estimates of surpluses and actual
Surpluses in recent years.
''Some gentlemen have felt that
tax reduction might affect flood
control, or the Boulder dam project
or the like" Garner declared, but
as amatter of fact, we have SO much
money we can't spend it all. On top
of that I say that the surpluses for
1929 will be about $3.50 100000 That
is why we can reduce the corporation
tax another half percent, and take
the tax off automobiles"
Garner advocated the corporation
tax should automatically be reduced
one half percent at the end OF each
fiscal year, when the treasury showed
a surplus of $50,000,000 and chal-
lenged what he said was the re-
publican contention that a larger re-
duction of the corporation tax could
not be effected because deficit might
cnsue.
Aside from Green and Garner,
regarded as tax spokesmen of the
republicans and democrats in the
house, only a handful Of other MEM
bers spoke today.
Representative Hudspeth, democrat,
Texas, urged extending exemption
from the income tax to all married
men with incomes of $4,000 or less
annually, but Mr.. Green disagreed,
contending that present exemptions
were sufficient.

BERRY GROWERS
HIT BY RULING

The loganberry growers of this
district and Vashon island were
hard hit Wednesday by the ruling
of the State Pure Food Inspector,
Ira Case, that the present crop OF
loganberries was unfit for canning
purposes, being infected in many
cases whit small worm. Fol
lowing this statement the canning
companies refused to receive any
more shipments even though due
inspection of each lot was made.
1t appears that this parasite,
worm, or infection, whatever you
may wish to call it, runs in cycles
OF six years and that this is the
sixth year. What the future holds
for the loganberry grower is a
matter of much speculation and
comment. What to do, and what
will remedy the condition is the
word on everyside.
With proper control methods it
is hoped that some adequate man
ner of marketing the remainder
of this years crop will be found.
On inspection it has been found
that some fields have no worms or
at least a very small percentage
and there should be a market for
these.
The officers of the Marketing
\ Association wish it to be PLAIN
to every member that they are
privileged to sell in any market
that they may sind to take their
fruit. Later reports say that the
Association will receive and bar
rel limited amount of the berries
from the fields that are clean and
will stand a rigid inspection.
