Invasion. Not Evasion.
Boston News Bureau.D

Now that the revenue bill has passed the first branch of Congress, there loom I'D at least two major items of criticism. One is that which has already drawn the White House frown, tand may draw a veto) the laVishness which blthely added almost s65.0oo,o00 to the $225oOO,ooo reduction which the Administration deemed the possible maximum relief. The other is col lateral question involved in the new measure which brings up the old issue as to proper limits of control or judgment as between 9oV- ernment and business
 The question to extent Of total tax cut is admittedly purely governmental as to sense of proportion in handling government finances and accuracy in judging whether there IS or .s not any peril of deficit
 Rut as to the proposition involved in section 104 in the new bn-imposing 25 per cent sur tax unless a corporation can satisfy revenue officials that any more than 60 per cent of annual net is reasonable reserve-there is rather patenty involved principle of con tinuing application. Who is the better fitted to render wise judgment as to the right rule of reason in perhaps many such corporation executives bureau subordinates?
 Merely to ask the question is to suggest the conclusive answer. Men who have attained the eminence of stewardship in large corporations are infinitely better equipped to determine what the often complex conditions surrounding a company industry or indicating future for that business all business may indicate as proper And they pass judgment upon the one concern they are intimately and respon- shiy in charge of.-not upon many in the ad- mnsterine of tax leyying routine.
 The blowing hack of earnings like the willingness to scrap he obsoescent, has been one of inc haimarks of American business genius. fenusyhona R. R long, aEo3 sH A yo-5o ratio, At times in industry the need might be much greater than the proposed 6O-i0 of tho new bill. Yet directors would under that bill mcekly have to abdicate their own judgment in the premises to that of bureau functionary.
 Zeal to prevent tax evasion is the presump- tive motive behind the new scheme. It that motive which actuated similar limitation upon personal holding companies But here the ques- tion is solely one of judgment in alocation or distribution. The real issue is not of evasion, but invasion-of government into business.

FAVOR CLOSE SEASON CHANGE.

The Daily News, Prince Rupert. says that the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union at a recently held election favored change in the dates of the close season in the halibut fisheries. The locals at Prince Rupert, Ketchikan and Seattle voted overwhelmingly for such change They would have the close start November l, instead of 15 days later, and end February 1, instead of February IS, is now the case. The union also voted to close down the Massett. Cape Addington and Timber Island banks which known chicken grounds.
 The halibut fishermen have taken leading part in recent conservation discussions as rcla ed to the upon which they dependent for lvlihood They working tremendously with the International Fisheries Commission through which Canada and the United States are undertaking to gather definite information about the state of the halibut banks in North Pacific Ocean waters. Their desires in the matter of a close and other questions affecting the industry should be given serious cons,dera- ton by the Commissioners.

 vast amount of gold could be ex ported without danger. And if neces- sary, the effect of this outflow of gold could be offset by Reserve Bank pur- chases of "governments'' and by the substitution of Federal Reserve notes for gold certificates.
 For the first half of 1928 we predict prosperity. The money income of the farmer is a beautiful backlog purchas- ing power. The prospect is for main tenance of industrial employment and the sustained income of industrial work CTS will help to sustain business. The probabilities are that industrial produc ton will be maintained at least at the fly after the turn of the year. Moderate inventories point to this conclusion. Easy money is our best guess and this con dition always sustains business. Profits will be earned. truly earned, by efficient management There will be variations in earnings but the degree of variation will depend largely on controllabie factors of organization and management We feel the business record for the first six months of 1928 should equal the average for the entire year 1927 II may be up to the figures for the first half of 1927.

GAVIN McNAB IS DEAD.

It was typical of the life of Gavin MeNab. eminent San Francisco lawyer who died the other day that he provided $i0000 for the re- imbursement of clients who had lost through advice that he had given them. Gavin MeNah a lawyer of great ability and leader in civic and political matters. But he more than that. He. was 2 man of the most sensitive conscientious scruples. He always tried to do his duty No served his clients with greater solicitude for their welfare.
 MT. McNab had been a leader of the San Francisco bar for third of a century, and he was one of the most powerful influences in the Democratic Party of his State and of the Pacific Coast He was the leader of the California delegations in the San Francisco and New York National Conventions and in each instance was regarded as of the big men of the assembly.
 While he had been active in California politics for nearly four decades MT McNab was not an office seeker. For himself he preferred the practice of law and he richly rewarded in this worlds goods for his talents Starting as a poor boy he amassed fortune estimated at about three quarters of a million dollars through the practice of the law. He has been identified with famous than almost any other lawyer in San Francisco.

Huskies of Washington Aid Oarsmen
 of U. B. C.
fNew Western Tribune.

The University of Washington has done a splendid thing in donating two eight-oared shells to the University of British Columbia The first was presented two years ago when U. E. c. started to make rowing larger part of it's athletic activity and the second given re- gently In thus encouraging the University of B. C., Washington hopes that the time will come when B. c. will be able to give it's famous oars men some real competition. It has gone out of it's way to foster the sport here so that it some at hand.
 It is doubtful however, if the University here will ever produce crews strong enough to give the Washington Huskies close contest. Though B. c. has the material for champion oarsmen-. and that without recruiting them by scouting through all the prep schools of the Province it is unlikely that the highly systematized coach ing and training methods of U. S. will be adopted here And champion intercollegiate crews, il seems are produced only by those methods.

MODERATE PROSPERITY FORECAST.

Continued prosperity, but probably in more moderate proportions than last year, is forecast for 1928 by many leaders of capital, labor ant in government circles The concensus of opinior seems to be that conditions in the first si' months of the current year will be about or par with the average for all of 1927. ant probably little below those for the correspond ing period in 1927.
 This is voiced by the Continental Bank ant Trust Company, Chicago which, in surveying the outlook for this year, said in part:
 We find evidence of coming period of depression. We do not antci- pate business expansion of such pro- portions to justify use of the word boom" We do expect continuance of generally prosperous business. And we don't mean 'proftless prosperity either. q The possibility of boom is so remote 10 be dismissed sum marily. Business this Fall did not expand generally expected
 The most disturbing question in mak ing forecast for the first half of 1928 is this: What will be the monetary policy of the Reserve Banks after the turn of the year?
 The policy of lower rates inaugur- ated in August, has checked the gold inflow into the United States and aided the Bank of England. For long time the policy had been of checking speculation in the domestic security and commodity markets. Will the new pol icy related primarily to international conditions, be continued? Or will the recent increase in commodity prices and the rise in stock prices lead to a policy of higher ratesg
 Firmer rates would put pressure on business at home affect adversely the exchanges of European countries, com plicate the transfer of separations Inter in the year and might cause opposition from agricultural interests. But any tightening of money rates would ao be enough to precipitate depression or result in major downswing of security prices And higher rates would soon cause gold movement into the United States, leading in turn to easier money
 Incidentally the Reserve Banks could

Loyalty A Characteristic.
1ror1oya I.;mes.l

When friend relative from a far-on community visits you and says his town is the best town on earth agree with him. Be glad that for him it is so. and admire him for stand ing up for his own, in the face of what ought to be a reversed judgment on your part
 If there were not people-many, many people in every city. town. village, hamlet or rural district who think their community is the garden lspot of the earth this country could not prosper, and happiness would go a-begging. The busi- ness of Cordovas people is to see that Cordova receives it's full share of this common loyalty from among it's citizens, by making it one of the best communities on earth, as well as saving so to the rest of the world.
 Cordova prospers when human aspirations continue to go upward It prospers when it's own people develop it from within to the extent that it attracts the rest of the world from With out Civic loyalty precedes every good project Civic apathy precedes every wrong public result
