pairing the Green case with other
cases where The governor had grant

concluded:
IF Green dies, his epitaph should
read: Hanged for political expe-

''They say" the governor shout
ed, that if I let Green hang my
claim of being a humanitarian GOV
ernor' is lost.
That's huge joke. The mur-
der of Crowley was one IF the cold
est blooded in the history of this
state. There are no extenuating
circumstances. No official or Off
cial agency to whom this case has
been referred has intervened. Every

Then the executive launched into
a bitter attack against his critics,

declared. Here's one governor that
has enough courage to stand by his

Some people don't know what
respect to the highest office in

1t was pointed out to the gov

committee of the Los Angeles bar
association had found evidence of
jury irregularity in the Green trial.
Later the Green case was sub

should be carried out.
''Who is the constitutional rights

"T'hey don It amount to anything.
You can get a committee that will

"Fact is, a few sentimentalistS

The governor received a request
from j. H. Green, Salt Lake City,
father of the doomed man, request

ecution date. Rolph said he would
take the matter of the hearing un-

BILLS SIGNED
Merchants Must Adhere To
Code Of Ethics Adopted By
California.

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 30. W.P) =
Advertising must fall into line with
the new golden rule" era in busi-
ness inaugurated by the fair COM
petition acts passed by the leglsla-
ture and approved by the governor.
Three measures definitely tight
ening up restrictions on false and
misleading advertisements were ap-
proved and signed by the governor.
Perhaps the most important was
a measure preventing any person
from selling, or advertising for sale,
an article below contract price. For
example, an automobile producer
would specify by contract price a
dealer might charge for a car.
Under no circumstances could the
dealer advertise the price of that
car under the contract price.
The act stipulates such practice
shall apply whether the person SO
advertising, offering for sale OF SELL
ing is or is not a party to such
contract
Another fair competition act =
that providing the right of injunc-
ton against persons proposing to
engage in unfair trade practices
defines unfair competition as fol-
lows:
Unfair or fraudulent business
practice and unfair, untrue or mis-
leading advertising
Adding to statutes on fraudulent
advertising which were in effect
prior 10 the 1888 legislative session
was a bill providing that circular
letters should come under their
provision. Furthermore the bill de-
fined the value of anything adver-
tised as tine prevailing market
price, wholesale if the offer is at
wholesale, retail if the offer is at
retail, at the time of publication OF
such advertisement
The act further provided no
merchant shall mention the former
price of an article in an advertise
ment. unless that price prevailed
within the three preceding months.
If the former price did not prevail
within in that period, then he must
so state in the advertisement.

two delegates pledged to vote dry.
District 10, Asotin, Garfield and
Columbia counties in eastern Wash

dates had slight leads.
Seattle and Tacoma gave the

NRA PAGEANT
BY ii. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. UP
Unemployment of 100000 persons,
increasing payrolls $30,000000 a
week, was claimed today as the Ma
tional Recovery Administration
pushed its Blue Eagle drive through
the phase of local campaigns.
In setting of bursting bombs,
the nation s capital, led by Admin
istrator Hugh S. Johnson, set an
example for the drives of local
committees throughout the country
with a recovery pageant last night.
johnson declared in an address to
masSed thousands that the recovery
program was working, that reem-
ployment to date meant $l,500,000,-
900 a year more for trade, to be
spent many times over.
"And yet this effort has just
started,' he said. "The people,
without any incitement from any
body will know how to visit the
proper punishment upon the fell
low who tries to stand in the way. -
Donald Richberg, NRA counsel,
declared business men had as much
to gain from organization of labor
as had the workers.
Organization assures employers
continuous and harmonious opera
tion and assures stability of en-
ployment at the best possible wages,
Richberg contended
Last in line in the recovery par
ade was a string of shining Ford
automobiles, the entry of a capital
dealer. Only a few hours before
johnson warned Henry Ford that
he must sign the automobile code,
from which he has remained aloof,
to obtain the blue eagle.

Fred E. Stewart, board member,
who announced the policy govern
ing newspaper operations, said job
printing would be subject to the
2i2 per cent taX-this whether job
printing is handled in a news

Question of taxing newspaper
circulation was one of the hardest
problems facing the board. It's
members finally predicated its

a commodity but a service, and
hence cannot be taxable.
The same measuring stick was
applied to wire services.
BY formal resolution. the board
urged California merchants today
to adopt the single price plan in
handling sales which carry the state
sales tax.
"All retail merchants" Stewart
said, "are advised that the sales
tax can be included in the sales
price and it is the desire of the
board that this policy be followed
in all cases where it is practicable
and feasible.
while merchants are specifically
prohibited from advertising that
they absorb the tax is no objection
whatever to the one price plan
