Notified of Mr.. Morgenthau's
statement, the President added
his approval, stating that he felt
many problems would be solved II
the Government did own the stock
of the Federal Reserve banks.
There were no indications, how
ever, that such a move would be
pressed by the Administration at
the present time.
Many believe stock ownership
is the only missing link in the

HONOLULU, T. H., May 10
Somewhere in the Pa
cific north and west Of here, the
United States fleet, split into two
groups, was engaged today in the
most ambitious phase of it's great
war games, in an effort to deter
mine conclusively how safe from
attack are the Hawaiian Islands,
the Pacific Coast and the Panama
Canal.
Warships and airplanes Of the
white" fleet, which sailed from
here Wednesday under command
of Admiral Harris Lanning, were
believed speeding with decks
cleared for action to attack Vice
Admiral Art hur j. Hepburn's
BLACK" fleet in a huge sham
battle in mid-Pacific.
Radio silence and strict official
secrecy, Stimulating actual war
time conditions, shroude d. the
movements of the BLACK" forces.
1t was believed, however, that
the white" force, which in
cludes three airplane carriers
was to attack the defending fleet
near Midway Island, 1880 miles
northwest of here, and endeavor
to land an expeditionary force of
Marines to hold the island.
The BLACK force. understood
to be formed in a great "V" with
Midway Island as the apex, was
sending scouting forces of sub
marines and airplanes, including
the air armada which took off
from here last week in the di.
rection of Midway, among the
islands between here and Mid
way, to report the approach of
the enemy"

Nationwide Ship
Strike Considered

CAMDEN, N. j., May 10 G.N.s0.
The general executive board Of
the industrial union of marine
and shipbuilding workers, repre-
senting approximately 20, 900
workers, in the country's 10
largest shipyards, today discussed
the calling of nationwide strike
in the industry.
The meeting is an outgrowth
of the strike called a week ago
at the giant plant of the New
York Shipbuilding Corporation
here. The effectiveness of the
strike, which called 4,500 workers
from their duties on So million
dollars worth of naval ship con.
struction, has resulted in the
pulling" of all fires and the
shutting down of power in the
plant,

to draw from, which was entirely
wiped out last year leaving a
deficit of $4,000.
He revealed that there was
$1,000 100000 in tax exempt prop
erty in the District or almost 40
per cent of all on the assessors
books.
Mounting Cost
He pointed out that in 1918
the operating expenses Of the
District were $13,000,000 against
$50, 000, 900 in 1886, and urged an
increased appropriation from Con-
gress, or the District must look
for new sources of revenue.
He declared something should
be done at once to settle the
fiscal question.
For increased revenue, he pro-
posed that the Commissioners
should look to an increased tax
on public utilities, and that banks
and trust companies be made
collecting agencies for intangible
taxes, to be charged against de-
positors, many of whom are now
lodging this taxation.
A straight income tax, he felt,
would stand but poor chance
getting through Congress.
High Living Costs
During the business session reso.
lutionS were passed requesting the
Federation of Citizens ASsocia-
lions to investigate the high cost
of living in the District, particu-
larly rentals and the high cost of
milk.
Another resolution protesting
the use of dazzling headlights on
automobiles, was referred to the
executive committee for investiga-
ton with the traffic bureau.
The following officers were
elected for the coming year: Wal.
ter Trey. president; DR.. c. C. Gallo
way, first vice president: Mrs.
Mary Lamond White, second vice
president; Hardin Waters, Secre-
tary; DR.. Guy Clinton, treasurer;
and Reed F. Martin and Mr.. Trey
delegates to the Federation of
Citizens Associations.

ponds on whatever action Con-
gress takes.
Mr.. McCarl ruled that while
the NRA expires on June IS, since
it was created on June 16, 1888.
the workers will receive pay for
the sixteenth.
In regard to appointments he
ruled that no formal reappoint-

appointments that may be re-
quired can be made effective on
that date.
AS indicated in previous deci-

This was the fearful plea today
of 21.year-old Mildred Chicken,
who weighs $50 pounds without
her shoes on, as she started an
action to annul her marriage to
Jack Chicken, who is three feet
tall and weighs one-tenth her
weight.
It was all just a joke, said the
big baby bride, and she thought
it was a publicity stunt for the
show where they worked together,
when she said II do" last Deem
Der 4, to a miniature bridegroom.
Mildred danced in the Rose
buds" show at a music hall where
little Jack was a performer.
Somebody suggested it would
make a great publicity story if
the heavyweight Mildred took
part in mock marriage to the

An encouraging sign of reviving
business conditions throughout Min
nesota is evidenced by the gradually
increasing number of applications
made to the Securities Commission,
seeking license to sell securities, not
only for the increase of working cap
ital of existing companies, but most
important the creation of new enter
prises. This is not confined to the
large centers of population only but is
general throughout the state. The
Securities Commission in recent weeks
permitted the sale of securities for
the purpose of re-opening shoe fac
tory that had been shut down for a
long time, resulting in the re-emplOy-
ment of people out of work for many
months; it made it possible, by per-
hitting the sale of securities, for a
knitting mill to install additional ma
chinery, thus increasing it's output
and also number of persons employed:
it licensed the sale of securities for
the purpose of taking over large areas
of northern Minnesota land, sold for
taxes, for the purpose of farming on a
semi-cooperative basis, and many
other instances showing a tendency
decidedly upwards.

State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

Members of the Legislature were
the invited guests last Friday night at
the Minnesota Editorial Association
banquet and listened to Clayton Rand
of Mississippi, the principal speaker,
undoubtedly one of the most clever
platform magicianS of the country.
Mr.. Rands discourse was delightful
as an artistic presentation despite the
fact that most of his utteranceS were
pure sophistry.
Here is the recovery formula MI.
Rand offers the country: Keep govern
ment out of business. Work harder.
Spend less. Sell more. What a
hearty laugh for the devil!
Some more from Mr.. Rand: You
cannot change human nature. We
live in a fluctuating world, therefore
we fluctuate between prosperous eras
and depression eras. Too much pros
perity is bad for us anyway. We de-
serve what we are getting because of
our spiritual sins. Don't worry, we
got out of former depressions and
therefore we will get out of this de-
preston.
This is optimism for those of means
who do not suffer in a physical way
from depressions, but for the masses
who know something about the reality
of stark hunger the picture is rather
black. Are we ready to admit that
the problem of recurrent depressions
has got us licked? Are we going to
accept as a finality an economic Or

the gasoline taxes collected by the
state Of Minnesota from the oil COM
panies was brought to light in a case
recently tried in Minneapolis. Mime
sofa statutes allow the oil companies
to deduct per cent from the amount
of tax for evaporation and loss. The
practice among the major oil COM
panies has been to allow the attend
ents at the oil stations no amount
whatever for evaporation and loss. In
the trial of this law suit in Mime
apolis the oil company commended that
the loss in dispensing gasoline was
non-existing or so slight as to be neg
ligible. If the contention of the gaso-
line company in the law suit is cor
rect, the state should not allow per
cent reduction on shrinkage.
