Atlantic City, NJ 1.-The outlook
for the potters and other like indus
tries where labor makes up a high
percentage of the cost is not bright
according to Mike ]. Flynn, secretary
of Americas Wage Earners' Protec-
tive Conference, who spoke to the dele
gates of the 1910 convention here last
Tuesday afternoon. .rs..t
The potters' loyal friend and hard
working tariff expert was not of the
opinion that longer hours or lower
wage rates would prevail. on the con-
trary, he thought betterment would
soon be expected, but high taxes and
rising prices for all necessities would
tend to lower the present standard of
living. ,3. rt s,st-
Speaking of the constant efforts of
jobs for their fellow members through
tariff legislation, Mr.. Flynn declared
that although the employers purchase
all kinds Of insurance, on their plants,
they fail to buy insurance on steady
operation by fighting through proper
legislation. He emphatically stated
that this organization has done more
in the past years along these lines
than the manufacturers have. ever
done. '
Expanding upon his statement that
the future looked black for the indus
try, Flynn stated that at wars end no
country with the exception of the
United States will have any purchas-
ing power to amount to anything
which will make this nation dump
ing ground. He explained that the
policies OF Russia, Germany, Italy and
Japan will be based on the barter sys-
tenn and our purchasing power will
mean little. We will be forced to
trade our; excess cotton for shoes or
dinner ware from Czechoslovakia or
Japan. He said that Hitler is too
shrewd to allow idle hands and minds
to plot against the country SO he will
be forced to find labor for all the coun-
tries under his domination and the
surplus will be dumped here, making
our gold reserves useless. He did state,
however, that should Germany defeat
Great Britain and take South Africa
with her gold mines, Hitler would then
be in the international gold ring and
might play ball differently.
Speaking of the recent trade treaty
fight, Mr.. Flynn stated that the battle
was won as late as two-thirty the day
of it's passing, but two votes were lost
to the large sugar plantation owners
lafter that time. ~oal->
, He said that many industries inter-
ested in. the question were not repre-
sented at the Ways and Means Com
mittee hearings because the manufac-
turers believed that the men in public
office were sane and sensible and could
not possibly enter into an agreement
of that sort with conditions in, their
present state. t1t. aa-e3s t.# 5H.s
Mr.. Flynn also stated that all other
countries except the United States had
broken their bargains when war con-
ditions arose. He told how the tariff
group of the AFL had asked for repu-
diation last December after a thorough

list of his holdings, unless he can
show reasonable excuse for the
commission.
Following a survey Of Money and
Credits, under the direction Of G.
Howard Spaeth, Commissioner,
State Department of Taxation, it
was revealed that a major portion
Of money and credits in the State
has escaped taxation in the past.
It is shown that in most Of the
counties, money on deposits in the
banks exceed by at least 1000, the
total money and credits on the tax
rolls.
This comparison indicates that
not only a large portion Of cash
in the State in escaping taxation,
but also most of the book accounts,
notes, chattel mortgages, mortgages
on real estate outside the state
and on mortgages on which the
registration tax has not been paid.
In addition to these items are pos
tai savings, shares Of stocks in
corporations, having less than $3.50
Of their real estate and tangible
personal property in Minnesota, as
well as various other intangibles
assessable as money and credits
are not being listed for taxation.
Rejecting the failure to return
to assessors the full amount of
money and credits are the addi-
tional returns, which were made
under Chapter 423. This law was
passed by the State Legislature in
1889, and provided for voluntary
returns covering a three year per-
iod. Additional assets totaling
$115, Oh, 735 were added under this
law. Additional tax collected was
$685., 044.21 and penalties were A.
675.53. These returns were in ex-
cess of those reported to assessors.
Too small a portion of the states
population pay a money and credits
tax. On the 1889 tax rolls there
were listed 137,57S, who paid a total
tax of $2,229,087.44. OF this num-
Der 94,142 were in the 100 cities in
the State, 23,553 in the 642 villages,
and 1888 in the 2,017 townships.
Increasing the tax income from
money and credits source, it is
pointed out, will correspondingly
decrease the tax burden on real

Tax Commissioner Urges
Closer Check-Up On
Monies and Credits

An army of nearly three thous-
and assessors and their assistants
are in the field throughout Mime
sofa assessing real estate, person
al property and money and credits.
Charged with the duty Of listing
and placing the value of all this
property on the assessment rolls,
the assessors are urged by the State
Department Of Taxation, Division
Of Money and Credits, to use great
diligence in obtaining accurate re-
turns on that class Of property.
Tax laws require every person
to make a return to the assessor.
Failing to receive such returns, as
SCISSORS must estimate as nearly as
possible, the amount Of the money
and credits Of the taxpayer and
place same on the tax rolls, adding
500 of his estimate as penalty.
This is a duty imposed upon the
assessors by the statutes. Such
assessment will be arbitrarily en-
tered in the tax books and shall
be conclusive upon any person who

Weather For Fishing
Seasons Opening Bad
High Winds Kept Many
OF Lake During
Morning of May 18th

Well, the "big ones" are getting
away already-and with completely
whole skins.
AS fishing season opened yester-
day, Wednesday, resortmen report
ed virtually "all quiet" on the lat
er-to-be-busy sector and usual OPP
ening day fishermen lolled in bed
until the usual hour for rising to
go to work without even dampen-
ing a line. The afternoon saw more
activity, however.
Weather carried the usual open
ing day freshness, that followed a
spell Of two days rains and an un-
usually warm Sunday that resort
men report was the best preseason
day on Sank Lake in many years.
Sunday riders were out in flocks.
Hosts of boats came out on the
lake as people sought heat relief in
the cool Of the lake, or blew dust
out of winter-stored cupboard mot
ors, resort men said.
High winds that blew thru
out the night Tuesday and
cleared heavy banks of clouds
that had dumped "a of an inch
of rain here during q 24-hOur
period. A quarter inch fall
Monday brought the weeks
precipitation to 80 Of an inch,
according to Henry Rydholm.
The high winds were responsible
for keeping many off the lake. In
the Big Lake Ed Bosshardt report
ed mo activity" Some who had
planned to go found the comfort
ing folds Of the blanket too much
temptation as compared with the
raw winds outdoors.
One fisherman who did get up
found his fishing partner among
the missing, tried a bit Of casting
down along the river with no luck.
But Elmer Starry made the first
report of catches for the season
here when he trundled back with
four pickerel. Henry Parker and
Ed Besser reported a morning
catch.

ordinary arms program to boost
next fiscal years defense appro-
priation to over S2,50O,0O0,0 900, was
reported in the making in the Unit
ed States. This announcement was
made after President Roosevelt as
serted, with the utmost emphasis,
that European events dictated an
immediate expansion and moderni-
cation of Americas armed forces.
Mr.. Roosevelt informed report
ers that the program may cost a
great deal but must be undertaken
in any event. Whether the money
was raised by borrowing, increas-
ing the $4,000, 100000 legal limit
on the national debt or by taxation
was a minor detail, he said.
The trend of events in Europe,
Germany's smashing mechanical
attack on Belgium and Holland, the
Importance of it's air force in the
NaZi strategic scheme, had obvious
ly deeply impressed Mr.. Roosevelt.
There were two reasons, he said,
for reinforcing American defenses:
The gain in knowledge from ex-
periences of the last few weeks
and months.
The progress of military events
in the last few weeks, which in
evitably had brought the defense
picture of the United States a
little closer to the United States.
He was asked about the possibili-
ty Of the United States developing
a "two-ocean navy" and replied
that it was outmoded and dumb to
talk Of national defense in those
terms, that the United States
should have a navy that could go
anywhere that national defense re
quired.
A reporter asked If 1t would not
be a good idea to have two canals
connecting the Atlantic and Paci-
fic. His reply was that personally
his wish was that there were 1C
canals, or no isthmus at all.

The hospital train pulled into
Kowel on Sunday morning. Septem-
ber II. The Germans had got there
before US. Everywhere buildings
stuck up like broken limbs and
bricks and beams and window
frames hung crafty around the
thin slivers Of walls left standing
and tapped Ike rags.
There were three cars of hos
pital train lying smashed and
burned before the station and as I
looked out over the platform and
along the tracks I counted the
bodies of Is men. Five Of them
had been soldiers. The rest had
been railroad employees. There was
no one left to bury them.
Germans Raid Train.
A hospital was supposed to have
been waiting for us at Kowel. After
long debate the train pulled out
finally, bound for Brest-Ltovsk. We
went slowly, halting many times to
be bombed, and then at O'Clock on
the afternoon of September 10,
when 10 miles from Brest-Litovsk,
Germans suddenly swooped down on
us in light tanks and motorcycles
and in q few automobiles. It was
like an Indian raid as portrayed in
American movies. I was to notice
many times in the next month how
closely Nazis copied American cow
boy movies and gangster movies for
their technique.
The Germans rode along the side
of the train, shooting into the air
