Mattern appeared very tired. Apart

Norwegian marine pilots helped Mat

effected, he was able to take of.
THE people of Jomfruland were like

CONSCIENCE IN TRADE
ADVISED GRADUATES
DR.. Lenski Tells Southeastern u.
Group Country Is Crying
for Honest Men.

More conscience in business Is the
need today. 1t was declared yesterday
by Rev. DR.. Gerhard e. Lenski, pastor
Of Grace Lutheran Church, in q bac-
calaureate sermon before members of
the graduating classes in law and ac-
countancy of Southeastern University.
The country is crying not so much
for experienced business men, dis
tinguished financiers or noted political
leaders as 1t is for honest men, the
minister told the seniors, who are to
receive their degrees tomorrow night
in Memorial Continental Hall.
"Shrewdness and cleverness," he said.
without the soul of honor and honesty
constitute q new kind of thief running
around our national household. 1t Is
not enough that our business deals
should be legal. It Is not enough that
none can indict us and convict us for
fraud or pocket-picking."
DR.. Lenski referred to the late Ivar
Kreuger and the collapse by fraud Of
his match "kingdom."
Il do not mean to say that all dis
honest men are going to end as sui
cides," he said. "or that all honest
men will live long and enjoy good
health at all times. And yet my con-
clusion Is not so far removed from
such O version.
mot all dishonest men are to be-
come suicides, but all Of them walk
In the shadows and they drink from
a bitter cup and they face q future
that Is dark just because 1t Is so dread
fully uncertain. Not so with good men. +"
The prospective graduates attended
the services attired in caps and gowns
and were led by DR.. James A. Bell, di-
rector Of education of the Y NJ G. A.,
and members of the faculty Of the uni
versity.

The House today passed the McKeown

Members Of the Inquiry Committee
said today that the deleted part OF
the Morgan partnership agreement,
which was withheld from publication,
showed that in addition to having a
small interest in the profits OF the
great banking house some OF the
younger members also received salaries.
This fact may have bearing on
the question raised by the investigators
as to whether the partnership agree
ment is actually that or an employ
sment contract.
Senator Costigan raised this point
when the closely guarded agreement
was made public, showing the domi-
nant position occupied in the partner
ship by the senior partner, j. p.
Morgan. Costigan said at the time 1t
might have an important bearing on
the tax question.

Possibility that the inquiry may not
be concluded this week arose yesterday
! when Costigan suggested 1t should be
kept open for future developments.

such large aspects to this subject that

inquiry without going more deeply into

AIDS IN MOTH CONTROL

One of the best auxiliary meth
DDS of control of the codling moth
is undoubtedly the use Of the
chemically treated band applied to
trees that have been carefully
scraped. Results over the last few
years have shown that where the
tree is well scraped removing the
loose bark from a height of 5 or 6
feet to the ground and the band
applied before the first worms
emerge from the apples that the
band attracts many of the worms
and practically kills 100 percent
of those alternating in or under
the band if good job of applying
has been done.
Because of a little difficulty in
securing uniform results of home
preparation of these bands it has
been considered best to purchase
them, especially since the price Of
the purchased band has been down
to within a close figure at which
the bands could be prepared at
home.
For those making every attempt
to control the moth this year we
would recommend the use of these
bands. =

BONE BILL TO
INCREASE THE
TAX BURDEN
Relief Committee is Urging
that No More Tax Free
Property be Permitted; to
Circulate Petitions

The Taxpayers Relisf Commit
tee this week issued a statement
from it's headquarters at Everett,
signed by Chairman A. E. Mckea
and Secretary Joseph H. Smith,
which says: r.. -
sThis statewide organization Of
taxpayers has this object in view:
To prevent needlessly adding to
the tax burden of payroll indus
tries, home owners, farmers and
small businessmen. Our first effort
is sponsoring the referendum OF
the Bone Power Bill.
All this referendum does is to
give the people of the state oppor-
tunity to express their will. We do
not believe the Legislature was
acting in accord with public opin-
ion when it passed this measure
as the voters had previously over
whelmingly rejected the measure.
We see no justice in Seattle and
Tacoma getting the Legislature to
force the rest of the state to as
sumo part of the Indebtedness and
taxation of those cities.
This referendum does not raise
any issue as to desirability of mu-
nicipal ownership. 1t is entirely
within the province of any COM
munity to have municipal owner
ship of public utilities if the ma
jority of the citizens of that COM
munity want it, but no community
should be forced to accept as a
part of their own local affairs the
municipal power trust of Seattle
and Tacoma. The Bone Bill gives
Seattle and Tacoma unrestricted
authority to extend their munich
pal plants anywhere in the state.
It destroys home rule and unless
referred, the rest of the state will
have to help carry the tax burden
of Seattle and Tacoma, for if Seat
tie and Tacoma plants are extend
ed over the state it means more
property off the tax rolls and more
taxes for every citizen outside Sc.
attic and Tacoma.
The extent of this tax burden
becomes apparent when the unpaid
taxes in King county alone have
increased from S191 1913 in 1925 to
$10,587, 638 on May /, 1888.
