FRENCH REMOVE QUOTAS
ON U. S. IMPORT GOODS
So Products Taken From List by
Decree-Smau Immediate Ef-
feet on Trade Seen.


BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 14.-Import quotas
on So classes Of products. headed by
cotton linters from America, were re-
moved today by decree. The goods in
volved are those on which the minimum
and intermediate duties were recently
restored.
Although few immediate effects are
foreseen in American quarters here, be-
cause tariffs on those articles, includ-
ing the minimum rates, were increased
on July Is, the action was regarded as
a possible indication of q tendency to
substitute higher tariffs for the much
criticized French import quota system.
Since late last year there have been
ofncial hints Of such a change.
French exporters have urged the
quota system Of limiting imports be
abandoned to help French export deal
ings in world markets

Some Washington newspapers
are convinced the power bill pass
ed by the last legislature is due
for referendum test at the cleo
tion next year. The provision per-
hitting the extension of service
by municipality owned plants is
particularly unwelcome. Many
communities insist that if their
citizens are to pay to keep a util-
ity operating, they must receive
substantial returns in tax rev
enues. They will delight in an OPP
portunity to kill the law the last
legislature saddled in the state.
1t is to be hoped enemies of the
power legislation will not hold Sc
attic responsible for it. This city
was not consulted in the matter at
all; our voters never asked the
City Light be permitted to go
junketing over Western Washing
ton, forcing service on cities that
regard the local publicly owned
utility as a "power octopus So
far as majority opinion here is
concerned, City Light will not be
criticised if it stays at home and
attends to its own knitting right
here. Furthermore, unless it man
ages to raise lot of money some
where, that is just what it will be
compelled to Seattle Times.

While holding no brief for the
power companies and their charges
many of us feel that already there
is far too much of the taxable
property in the state being taken
off the rolls, adding just that much
heavier burden upon those who
have to pay the bills. If the legis-
lature-or the people would make
every institution, municipal, re-
ligious and otherwise, pay taxes at
the same rate as the ordinary citi-
zen, the burden would be consider
ably lightened. It's high time some
move of the sort was put in mo-
tion.

around few old places that are dear
to his heart? Listen to this. He was
practicing the gangster's slanguage,
which Is one Of his main accomplish

on this type Of talk from one end Of

rapidly-slanguage- Tracy can tell
you the typical argot Of every period.
Also he keeps informed on the latest
developments today.
Most entertaining Of them ALL" he
told me, "is the rhyming slang Of the
Barbary Coast, San Francisco. It took
me a time to get on to this one. It's
a dead language now-and very little
known. But every now and then
bring it into one Of my rapid-fire speech
roles. In rhyming slang you'll find such
things as this:
'The bottles and stoppers-meaning
the coppers.
"The gay and fnsky-meaning whisky.

beer and lay her head on the weeping

expressions differing from the conven-
tional speech of the casual person, are
visited by Tracy, who garners new
word or two at each visit.
He's like professor with butterfly
net out searching for new specimens.
And he pretty well knows the vintage
OF the old ones. For instance, the term
"on the make" was popular in Paris
and on the Continent as far back as
