 UNDER FIRE
of Branch Banking Clauses Is
 Threatened

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Elim- ination of the branch banking sec- tions from the Glass Banking Bill is threatened by Senator Huey Long who has conducted two-day filibuster against the measure.
 As the Senate met today, Senator Long claimed four more than enough votes to defeat the branch banking clause, if the sponsors brought the bill to vote.
 Senator Glass plans to force a ballot on the compromise amend ment to allow branch banking only in States now authorizing such banking houses.

DR. WOLLE IS
 DEAD, RESULT
 LONG ILLNESS
Noted Organist and Con ductor Passes Away
 in Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM, Penn, Jan. 12.- Dr. John Frederick Wolfe, aged 69, nationally known in music circles, died here today after long illness.
 Through his organization of the Bach Choir Festivals, Dr. Wolfe brought national fame to Bethle- hem, Pa.
 The prestige of the little Penn- sylvania town, gained through these festivals, was similar to that en- joyed in Europs by Bayreuth be- cause of it's Wagnerian festivals and of Oberammergau with it's world renowned Passion Play.
 Musicians have conceded that the work of the Bethlehem choir has been the most faithful interpreta- ton of Bach to be heard in this country, comparing favorably with the interpretations of the great choirs of the world.
 Was Composed.
 After completing his musical edu- cation, Dr. Wolfe won recognition as a composer of hymns and an- thems and as sympathetic inter preter of Bachs devotional com positions. He conceived the idea of the Bach Choir for more am- bilious presentations of the work of that great master.
 The choir was launched in 1898 and two years later, in the audi torium of the Moravian Church, where Dr. Wolfe was organist, Bach's Mass in B minor was sung. With announcement that the Bach festivals would be presented an- nually, Bethlehem became the Msc- ca of music lovers on those oc- casions. The festivals continued each year until 1905 when all that had been done previously was sur passed with a Bach cycle, which was given in three parts, each talk ing three days
 College Professor
 In the summer of that year Dr.. Wolle was chosen Professor of Music at the University of Cali fornia, where he remained until 1911. In California he conducted symphony concerts in the great outdoor Greek Theatre and also organized the Califor nia Bach Choir.
 Returning to Bethlehem he re- established the Bach festivals, which have been continued many years with an interruption in 1924

CHAS. W. MORSE, MAN WHO WAS,' DIES IN MAINE
Financier, Shipping Mag nate, with C olorful
 Career, Passes

BATH, Maine, Jan. l2.-Charles w. Morse, financier and shipping magnate, is dead here, victim of pneumonia.
 Two decades ago Morse figured prominently and frequently in the nsws of that time as ice king, bank financier, stock manipulator and dictator in coastwise and river shipping as well as several times in litigation in which he became involved through his operations.
 Wall Street remembers MT. Morse as one of the last of the plunger type, peculiar to itself, which 1t produced in the exciting days when it was thinking in hundreds of millions. Rising from the position as bookkeeper for his father, he scared across the financial sky like meteor, often leaving soaring path. and dropped into apparent oblivion behind the walls of the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta in 1908.
 Sent to Prison; Pard0ned
 MT. Morse had been convicted of misapplication of the funds of one of his banks and was sentenced to serve IS years. He made a de- termined but futile fight to escape serving the sentence and had been in prison two years when he was pardoned by President Taft on the ground that the prisoners health was such that he had only a short time to live. He made a remarkable come back" in which he recouped considerable of his fortune, but fell far short of his former power and prestige.
 In his heyday, just before his crash in 1907, MT Morse was cred- tied with S22 100000 fortune, and control over a corporate capitaliza- tion of almost s340,000,000 more. In a year he was broke and under criminal conviction. While attempt ing to fight off his serving his sen tence for two years, he managed to win back reported S7,500,000 in the market. When the doors at Atlanta closed upon him he was said to have paid all his debts, and to have a half-million cash clear.

will graduate to "Goofus' before long.

Who says we don't live in an age
Of progress? Before the constitution
arrived it was rather difficult to see
the advancements which are being
made. Enumerating them, however,
they gain more Of their true import
ance.
First, is the actual making of the
constitution. This is big step forward
and the Executive Council and Faculty
are to be commended for their we'll
planned and directed efforts.
Next, is the weekly publication Of
school news. Although there is much
room for improvement, the students
are gaining valuable experience in
amateur journalistic work.
There is chorus-very new and much
to-be- improved, but a step forward and
an interesting one. And slightly OUT
side of school but composed mostly of
students, there is a tap dance class,
a poppy enthusiastic group. We are
cure everyone will agree that the
school is starting to do things in a
big way-and the year isn't over,
either.

year. Coming as it does when the cry
is for decreased costs of government,
the measure should find the shedding
rough.
Governor Martin favors an old age
pension bill which creates state fund
to which those who will benefit must
contribute. In fact, he urges an an
nuity. for the states aged, not a
straight pension to be paid by the
taxpayers, or state insurance which the
beneficiary pays for.
The bill hopper is becoming clogged
with proposals to permit property own
ers to get out from under some Of
their tax burdens, both present and
those already delinquent.
Several bills in the Senate and the
House are designed to encourage the
delinquent taxpayer to pay up by
either removing all interest and penal
ties on delinquent taxes, or by reducing
them.
In all of these tax bills there turks
the same danger, that of encouraging
nonpayment Of taxes because of lack

A student body meeting was held on

A student body meeting was held on
Friday, January 20, for the purpose
of discussing the new Constitution.
Previous to the meeting, students had
been asked to offer any suggestions
as to changes and additions to the
Constitution, and quite number were
received.
The first section Of the Constitution,
concerning officers, elections, ETC., was
accepted without any changes.
It was voted to make two changes
in the bylaws. Article v, section 2,
reading: "The official award given by
the Student Association to members
for outstanding performance in extra
curricular activity, shall be an orange
WB on a black background" was
changed, making the official award an
orange w on black background. An
addition was also made to the bylaws,
providing for the selection of reporters
each year by the publication editor and
faculty.
Two alterations were made in the
traditions. On the questions as to
whether the faculty alone, or the Sc
nior class with faculty approval, should
select the student entitled to Senior
f1onors, the latter method was decided
upon An addition was also made to
the traditions, providing that the group
which gives party shall clean up as
soon after the party as possible.
With these changes. the Constitution
will soon 60 into effect. 1t is not in
tended that 1t shall hamper the activi-
ties of future students and teachers,
but that it shall serve as a guide.

that during the boom years of ~, '28,
and 90, taxes were delinquent in many
instances because the money was used
by the property owner for other pur-
poses.
The argument is now being made
that If interest is eliminated too many
will take advantage of this clause and
not pay taxes, hoping when once the
precedent is established other Legisla-
lures will follow with similar action.
Two Eastern Washington Senator's
Gray of Lincoln and Heffron of Yakima
are asking the state to levy per
cent gross tax upon the utilities of
municipalities.
This will apply to all street car sys-
TENS, light and power plants, munich
pal auditoriums, golf courses and heat
ing plants operated by municipalities.
Seattle, Tacoma, and other munich
palities operating utilities will be taxed
for the benefit of the general fund.
There is little doubt in the minds
of majority Of the COW county men,
bers that they are now carrying pro-
perty tax load out of proportion to
what it would be If the municipal
ownership idea had not run rampant
and taken so much taxable property
off the general tax rolls of the state.

ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

In your left-hand pocket you have the sum of
fifty dollars In your right-hand pocket is another
fifty. For period of time you spend entirely from
the left pocket, until the fifty suffers alarming
depreciation Then you begin spending from the
right pocket. Would you consider this economy
and reduction of expenses? You certainly would
not 1t is unmportant whether the dollar comes
from pocket another, whether your left
hand or your right hand passes it out.
But, when tax commissions and politicians
nounce program of tax reduction, it usually
does precisely what has been described above
It takes dollar off the property tax and puts
another dollar on the income tax. It shifts bur-
dens from an inheritance tax to a sales tax. 1t
discovers intangible taxes-supposed to lower
some other tax, but increases the total volume of
tax money taken from individuals and industry.
And so it goes.
The average tax reduction program is farce
and misrepresentation. 1t robs Peter to pay Paul.
It does not recognize the fact that there is but
one way to lower taxes-to spend less money

THIS PH1LANTHRoPIsT BUSINESS

their own fees and there are second parties,
or third or fourth fifth parties concerned in the
transaction.
With most any other business it is different. One
could hardly expect bank to write off the ac-
counts owed to it, as the money it loans is largely
that of the depositors Of the bank who would be
perfectly justified in objecting, no matter how
philanthropic the banker himself might be-
Or take, for instance, the merchant His per-
sonal interest in the accounts owed his store is

fruit, vegetables, etc.
The same unacceptable economic condition ap

afford it and the nature Of his business will
permit. Not many of us are in that enviable po-

NEEDED FOUR MORE CHAINS

We think this efficiency business be over
done, especially when it becomes a part of the
in mind John McFee's friend in Seattle who lost
his car. He did not have garage, so in order to
play safe he bought heavy chain and paddock
and chained of the front wheels to large tree
in front Of his home. When he went out in the
morning he found the chain, paddock and front
wheel but the car was gone. The thieves simply
removed the chained wheel, replaced it with the
spare and drove off,

Cold.stor.pe Egg.

Dipping eggs in mineral oil seals the
pores in the shell and thus prevents
to large extent the evaporation OF
water from the egg. Most Of the proc
essed eggs are placed in cold storage
IL they are to be held for any length
Of time. The process, therefore, is not
primarily designed to replace cold stor-
age, but rather to prevent deteriora-
ton in the quality of cold-storage eggs.

Since emotional expression is a large
