Hopkins
Continued From First Page. }

Willkie, president of Commonwealth
& Southern Corp, commented fav-
orably on Mr.. Hopkins speech.
Mr.. Carlisle said the Secretary's
comment on utilities clearly indi-
Gates desire on the part of the ad-
ministration to remove doubt
as to the competitive fields of public
ownership and operation and the
fields occupied by the private COM
panies"
Mr. Willkie expressed the view
that if Mr.. Hopkins speaks with
the authority of those governmental
agencies that have to do with the
power industry. =" his offer of
cooperation " will be reassuring.
The log jam in utility invest
ment. which, if broken. would mean
so much in promoting employment,
must be broken by action on the
part of government"
The widely-known economist, Dr.
Lionel P. Edie, commenting in New
York asserted the Secretarys' state
ment of purpose to bring out private
investment will be most welcome
in all business circles" adding that
businessmen will wait and see
what these generalities will mean
wnen he gets down to specific
cases.
His Federal Program.
The Secretary outlined a Federal
program of encouragement to in
dustry which recommended:
A tolerant attitude by labor in
dealings with employers.
Assistance for small business.
Use of utilities as one means of
breaking "the log-jam of private
investment"
mo general rise in Federal taxes"
and amendment of those levies
which tend to freeze the necessary
flow of capital
An increased national income to
take up the unemployment slack and
to balance the budget.
Greater returns to the farmer for
his crops.

new WAVE TO
Be GIVEN HERE

D. X. Child, chemical engineer
and member of the Scientific Re-
search laboratory, will be at the
Rhodes beauty salon Friday to
acquaint Tacoma women with the
new Life permanent wave and to
give individual microscopic analy-
SEES of hair types as well as other
advice on permanent waving prob
lens.
According to Childs, a new exc
elusive formula used in the Life
wave prevents the "frizzy look"
which makes the ends of perma-
nently waved hair look different
from the new hair that grows in.
Costly experiments conducted
over a period of four years" says
Childs, form the background OF
this new process. Hair of all
types and textures was studied
and the effects of permanent wsv-
ing on them. The factors which
tend to produce hydrolysis and
decay were esta blished and then a
formula found to correct the trou.

WEED CONTROL
IS DISCUSSED

Discussion of creation of weed
control districts in rural areas of
the county highlighted a meeting
held Thursday in the county COM
missioners' office at the court
house.
Attending the session were the
three county commissioners, Coun-
ty Agent A. NJ. Richardson, State
Agriculture Director w. J. Robin
son and approximately a dozen
farmers.
Purpose of the meeting was adj
visa bility of creating either a coun-
ty-wide control district or smaller
districts in an attempt to eliminate
noxious weeds in farming areas.
Robinson explained state require
ments in forming districts and
pointed out that county commits
sioners were the final authority as
to regulations and methods to be
used for control in districts pro-
posed.
The state head said under sta
tute, cost Of controlling weeds in a
district would result in assessment
of one-quarter of expenses to farm
ers in the area affected, with the
balance coming from the weed con-
troll fund.
Robinson declared that weeds
are a serious problem and are going
to take more land out of produc-
ton than anything else :"
The matter of forming districts
was taken under advisement.

COUNTY TO PAY
TAX ON RELIEF

Two per cent OF the money ex-
pended by the county welfare de-
partment for relief vouchers will
revert to the state, County Auditor
s. Clifford Davis was advised
Thursday. following an opinion
given by State Attorney @. w.
Hamilton.
Hamilton said the county must
pay the sales tax for persons whom
it aids by giving relief vouchers.
The state attorney asserted the tax
could be included on the disbursing
order given the relief family.
Hamilton denied he informed the
state social security department 10
advise the auditor the tax could
not be included in the vouchers.
I'm the case of disbursinc orders,
we can see no escape from the con-
clusion that the state or the county
In the purchaser. and We see no
reason why the tax cannot be
added to the amount of the order
declared.
I'VE see no point in requiring
the recipient of the disbursing
order to pay the food tax himself.
The reason why he is getting aid
is because he is without funds,
and 1t would be rather a travesty
TO give him a food order and then
require him to pay a tax on 1t
when he has nothing with which to
paw" the attorney concluded.
