portant part in her lifee She tried to
Danish Jimmy's words, tried to tell
herself he was "just talking"
But when she's slipped between
the sheets and her hot cheeks press
ed against the cool pillow, there
seemed to be something sinister how
ering about young Stan Fayson.
Then suddenly all her fine theor-
les of a girl lettering herself by
marrying a rich man, seemed to lose
their power. Something within her
cried out for Rod. He was straight.
He was true. He would never
link himself with anything shady.
Had she made a mistake in passing
up the love he Offered her? But
before she had reached a decision,
drowsiness stole over her. Jimmy's
pronouncement lost weight. Ev-
erything seemed to grow blurred.
Maris had fallen asleep.
Next morning when Maris
reached the office, she hurried at
one to her desk, read the announ-
cement Stan had given her, and
finding nothing in it which she
could improve upon, she decided
to put it on his desk at once. But
as he started down the corridor.
old Mr. Fayson's door opened, and
Stan almost collided with her.
Handing the paper to him, she
said, "There isn't. a thing to be
changed as far as I see."
sThat's fine" he answered
quickly. "Thanks very much"
But as he turned to speak, Maris
felt his eyes look questioningly into
hers, and her cheeks grew rosy.
Something told her he was aware
of her for the first time.
With a smile on her lips, she
hurried back to her desk to meet
the wide-eyed gaze of Milly.
Continued next week.

about him you would surely discov-
er something pretty damaging abou,
him. But the thought that a fell
low like Fayson should be linked ur
with racketeers was staggering,
What good would that do him? He
had plenty of money.
Why should Stanley risk such
shady connections when he would
one day be the head of a big i'm
porttant business?
But then, Jimmy did talk a lot.
Sometimes Maris got bored with his
talking, but going around as he did,
probably he heard a lot. Still it was
unthinkable that a man like Stan
Fayson should wish to link himself
with anything of a questionable
character. Yet Jimmy had said
some Of these rich men were so
money-mad, that even the big risk
they took in such undertakings was
quite discounted, when they felt
that more money would be theirs if
they could transact such shady
deals.
Somehow she felt troubled as she
remembered how Jimmy had in
sisted that he could mention more
than one we'll known man who was
the brains of some racket-men
whose wives, even, would not sus-
pect them of such activities.
OF course she would not want
to marry that type man-there
could be no lasting happiness with
a background of this sort.
Surely Jimmy must be mistaken.
Everything about Stan Fayson
seemed to assure her that he was a
gentleman in the fullest sense of
the word. Oh, why should he sug-
gest such things, even hint at them,
when this dark-eyed, debonair
young man might play such an i'm

seemed to adore him. Somehow that

END OF STATE RELIEF
In New Jersey Declared Disastrous to
Family Life

New York City, (ILNS). - The
American Association of Social Work
ers has made a report based on
study of New Jedsey towns and cities.
New Jersey has dropped state relief,
thrown the whole burden on local COM
munities; and the report declares that
this experiment:
"Shows specifically what lowered
standards of relief and helpfulness
can do to family life"
Stanley Davies, president of the
Family Welfare Association Of Amer
lea, gave his approval to this report
in vigorous words.
In my opinion" he said, "disas-
trous and irremediablbe damage will
be done to family life in many thou
sands of homes if the apparent de-
moralization of the public relief pro-
gram in New Jersey continues, as de-
picted in this survey of Al commun-
tiles in that state"

Johnson said, however, that the

OHIO MOTORISTS
PAY $4O,OOO,OOO-
In STATE "CAS" TAX

Youngstown, Ohio, State gasoline
taxes cost motorist taxpayers of Ohio
a total of $39, 100, 100000 in 1885, it was
announced today by John L. Marsh,
Executive Secretary of the Petroleum
Industry Committee of Ohio.
The cost is 1851 100000 more than
the $37, 100000 paid by Ohio motor
lists in 1884. The state tax rate now
is cents per gallon including the
liquid fuel tax.
Mr.rMarsh explained that while this
total represents the official cost as
reported by the u S. Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, his organization estimates
that Federal gasoline taxes cost con
sumers of this state an additional
$9,s1O,000.00 in 1885, making the
grand total cost of gasoline taxes, Fed
eral and State, $49,079, 100000.
He said that the total national cost
of state gasoline taxes in 1885 was
$616,852, 100000 as compared with
1865 OPT 100000 in 1884, the 1885 rev.
enue establishing an all-time high
record. Federal gasoline taxes in 1885
cost $172 1862, 100000 as against S17O,-
109, 100000 in 1884, making the total
national gasoline tax bill $3.50, ,114,-
10000 as compared with $735, 1885,
100000 in 1884. These levies he added,
make dp the larger part of the ma
tional automotive tax bill, which in
1885, again exceeded 81, 10000, 100000.
"The 1885 report on gasoline tax
costs clearly shows the desirability of
reducing tax rates to reasonable
level" said M Marsh. "This tax has
been good revenue producer, has
done great deal to finance improved
highways, and should not be made un-
popular by excessive tax rates or the
diversion of revenue to other high
way purposes. There is growing op-

Washington, D. c., (ILNS(. The
Federal Trade Commission, second
Oldest of the special agencies Gre
ated by the Federal government to
keep Big Business from hoging every
thing in sight, was handed a new job
by the last Congress, and getting
ready to move dirt-no insinuation
intended-on this project.
The new bill was conferred by the
Patman bill, designed to stop discrim-
nations in prices by manufacturers
and others who supply the retail
trade An investigation conducted by
Congressman Wright Pattman of
Texas, whose name is attached to the
bill showed that big purchasers such
as chain stores and mail order houses
than those charged independent re-
tail merchants, no matter how big
the latter may be.
This favoritism is forbidden by the
new law; and the Federal Trade Com
mission is given the task of enforcing
that law William T. Kelly, chief
counsel of the ETC, has been directed
to make an exhaustive study of the
measure, and report. That report is
expected to be ready soon; and mean
time, the ETC, officially speaking
amt sayin' nothin'.
Seek to Get Around Law
Stories are going the rounds that
lawyers of the chain store and mail
order houses have already laid plans
to circumvent the law. Sears Roe
buck, the big mail order house, for
example, got special low price on
tires from the Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der Co., which enabled Sears to under
sell all rivals The ETC issued an
order to the Goodyear to cease and
desist from such discrimination; and
the Goodyear has taken the case to
the Federal courts.
The story now circulating in Wash
ington is that Sears will buy the rub
Der and other materials for tires, and
hire the Goodyear concern to make
them 1t is believed in some circles
that this will permit any degree of
discrimination without being subject
to the law. The FTC says nothing.
The best judgment that one can find,
however, is that even this clever trick
can be stopped.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Or-
ganized labor will back striking en-
ployes Of Remington Rand, Inc, to
the limit, John P. Frey, president of
the Metal Trades Department, Amer
lean Federation of Labor declared in
statement scoring the company, big
manufacturers of typewriters and Of
flee equipment. The strike involves
$500 workers in six cities where the
company's main plants are located.
Asserting that developments in the
strike indicate clearly that Reming-
ton Rand SIS either acting under
agreement to mark out the battle line
of corporate wealth against labor, or
else the coincidence is remarkable"
Frey continued:
"The company, our reports show,
is definitely pursuing policy intended
to goad the workers. However, union
discipline is holding splendidly.
Big Principle At Stake
''The real concern of Remington
Rand is in the fact that the workers
are determined to stand united for
their lawful rights and that they re-
fuse to be stampeded back to work
by company Establishments and mis-
representations.
"It is announced at Middletown,
Conn, that the company has gone to
the expense of buying strip of land
adjacent to its plant so as to keep
strikers at distance This is an act
of defiance and hostility illustrating
how far the company is out of line
with the predominating thought of
the day.
-. "Manifestly the company intends to
smash unionism if possible and it
hopes to wear labor down by the cost
of the struggle in cash. Let us clear
that point now by saying that labor
will carry that cost as long as neces-
sary. A principle is at stake and labor
lis accustomed to paying high price
to convert reactionary business and
economic royalists' to that new dem
ocracy which must come to modern
industry.
Labor To Fight Back
Il want to serve notice now on Rem
ington Rand that organized labor in
tends to use its full strength in this
struggle, which is one of the major
industrial struggles of the year. We
are informing the entire organized
labor movement as TO the companys
attitude. We are calling for every
kind of cooperation everywhere in the
effort to win for the Remington Rand
workers the full benefits Of democratic
practice in industry and we shall
overlook no lawful means to that end.
Those who declare themselves the
economic enemiess of labor in labor's
fight for justice and right principles
will be treated as economic enemies
and that applies likewise to those who
give aid and comfort to. those enc
mics. Let Remington Rand know that

facturers who make goods for the
A. & P. at such prices as to give the
store chain very substantial rebate.
No authoritative opinion could be Sc
|cured on this matter, but the success
of the A. & P. in getting rebates up
to date has been phenomenal, and the
luck may last.
The favorite dodge for getting and
giving rebates without being caught is
the advertising allowance" The firm
making Eagle chocolate, for instance,
was given the A. & P. $1,000 month
as advertising allowance" but there
was not word of testimony to show
that the A. & P. advertised that
chocolate more than they would do
anyway in their own interest. 1t was
just a rebate, which gave the chain
store on unfair advantage over all COM
petitors.
The facts uncovered, partly by the
Patman hearings, more by the investi-
cation some three years back by the
ETC, show the A. & P. the biggest
gatherer of rebates thus far uncov-
cred. The Patman committee pub
lished a list of some $50 manufacturers
who gave price advantages to the A. &
p, usually disguised as advertising
n Tbn J,.+ 80 ~, oh hot
ical order; it starts with Airy Fairy
Cake Flour and ends with Zion Inde-
pendent Baked Goods.
Other Big Rebates
Eagle Chocolate, as already said,
gave the A. & P. $1,000 month.
Burnham & Morrill, Co. gave $237.75
month, plus per cent allowance
on advertising. Chapel dog food
paid per cent advertising allowance,
and per cent brokerage. Arbuckle
Brothers. 200 a month, fiat, and B
per cent. Brillo Manufacturing Co.,
10 per cent advertising allowance.
Prescott polishes, $4,000 fiat each
year.
Standard Brands, one of the mer-
gers of the House of Morgan, pays
A. & P. $350,000 a year in rebates,
according to the Congressional COM
mittee; and General Foods Corpora
ton pays $350,OO0. All told, the A.
& p. seems to be getting rebates of
around $4,000 a year--which would
pay good dividends without cent of
fair profits.
DECIDEDLY, the Trade Commission
is going to find warm opposition when
it starts out to stop privilege as
profitable as that.
