and fetch him if you like"
He didn't come, so Jem kept
the Jap until he put in at Port
Redland. That was a quiet little
pearling port then. Just a few
rows of native houses and the
pearlers' homes a bit apart.
There was a little hotel for the
buyers and plenty of drink shops.
When Jem got in the Emu, the
other mans lugger, was already
there. Jem went ashore to hand
over his pearls and check his
shell, about two tons of it.
Jem was coming out Of the
bank when a policeman ranged
alongside.
George Billings says you
robbed him of a pearl"
Listen" Jem said. THAT fool
was too drunk to hold the pearl.
He dropped it overheard in four
fathom. How does he figure his
diver got it and gave it to me ?"
We'll, it's bin done" the po-
liceman said. The Jap's in Jail.
But / don't guess well ever get
it. But I'll bet this; if that pearl
is stole there'll be trouble round
here before long"
He didn't know how right he
was going TO be!
There was a lot Of argument
for a couple weeks, then the Emu
left and the Jap was set free
Jem went on another cruise and
on his arrival in port the Jap was
waiting for him.
Me, ffabaka," he bowed, hiss
ing through his teeth. II want
work for you. All man call me
thief. You know l no steal pearl.
You gimme work"
Don't need divers" Jem said.
"Whyn't you go to Broome or
some place where they don't
know you ?"
No good. All man savvy.
More better l work along you"
Sorry Jen-told him. II can't
give you work"
The Jap bowed and went.
Two or three times during the
next week Jem saw the Jap
hanging about the anchorage.
Once he was in dinghy close to
the lugger.
Il look for job" was his ex-
plantation
Jem was certain the Jap had
been aboard, but the Malay

a shock - unless you've been

boys practicing for their annual
gymnastic tableaus.
Springfield is a school where
physical culture is one of the ma

these tableaus, aside from their
entertainment value is to draw
attention to the benefits of exer-
else, and to show what excellent
shape the gymnasts are in.
These bronze statues" of to-
day are the physical instruc-
tors of tomorrow. The subjects
presented in Springfield's dra-

moments in sports, but, since
the war, patriotic themes have
been included.

Excess Profits
Tax for Wage
Farmers Urged

WASHINGTON - Sen. Arthur
H. Vandenberg, r., Mich, Tues
lay proposed that excess profits
taxes be levied on individual in
from salaries or
investments have increased
directly as a result of the war.
II have always favored an
excess profits tax on indi-
vidual earnings which are
greater during the war period
than they were during the
pre-war period" he said In an
interview. after all. the
question should be whether n
man is profiting from the
war"
He declined to reveal details of
his proposal or whether he would
such a bill. But he said
such a tax program should take
in everyone-the man who lives
from investments, the farmer and
the wage Garner Presumably
such a plan. if it followed the
excess profits tax on corporations
would, for example, tax a wage
increase received during the wal
at a higher rate than the balance
of income.
A supreme court decision Mon
day permitting the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding corporation to retair
huge profits it made during th'
first World war increased senate
demands for drastic limitations OF
income from armament contracts

strictions on private building have

The war and attendant restric-

Sheriff Asks for Additional
Men, More Cars, Ammunition
County Commissioners Toke Under
Amusement Request of Bjorklund

There hasn't been any increase
in population in the county out
side Tacoma to justify your
claims" schlarb contended.
Commissioner Guy z. Mel
ton disagreed with Schlarb.
We can't compare 1929
conditions with the conditions
We have now" he pointed out.
Biorklund based his requests
upon a survey of comparable
sheriffs departments in other
counties prepared by William A.
Stancec and DR.. Grover o. wal
ters. members of the Traffic
Safety commission. Their report,
directed to the county commits
sioners, was not presented as
report or recommendation of the
Traffic Safety commission. but as
individuals.
The sheriff said he had asked
them to make the study. This
showed that on population basis.
Pierce county should have 20 per-
sons in the sheriffs staff and an
average of one car for every
three persons, or 10 cars.
In the study" the report read,
"the following assumptions have
been used: 10000 men of Fort
Lewis are on leave for a period,
twice a week, increases Pierce
county's population approximately
10000 persons and makes the
county population according to
the 1910 census, and with the in
crease due to defense industries,
conservatively 100000"
Counties in Washington, Oregon,
Tennessee and Texas were studied.
with these additional men
and equipment the sheriff
could provide more effective
enforcement throughout the
county by locating his men at
strategic points in the county
away from his office in the
court house. All of the We
hicles should be equipped
with two-way radio" the re-
port concluded.
Bjorklund admitted there are
sentries stationed about the mill
tary areas.
Don't the sentries police ?"
asked Schlarb.
He was advised they are guards
and do little to police civilian
areas. Bjorklund said the families
of soldiers require protection and
cause certain increases in work
of his department. The FBI
keeps two of his men busy, he
said. Apart from himself, he now
has 20 persons on his staff, in
GLIDING the jailers and office help.
ITS true l have only 10
more months to serve as
sheriff, but II 1 only had six
days to serve, I'd still say the
same thing. My men are not
out playing golf or baseball
during working hours"

Pierce county commissioners
took under Amusement Tuesday a
request of Sheriff John C. Bjork-
mnd for an additional nine men.
several more cars for prowl duty,
and a supply Of guns and am
munition and flares.
The commissioners agreed to
provide six rifles. six shotguns and
ELECTRIC flares as requisitioned by
Bjorklund. but there was divided
sentiment regarding allowance Of
the extra men and cars.
Chairman John Schlarb dug up
figures to show that back in 1929
when business was at its peak,
the sheriffs office had only nine
or 10 deputies and four jailers.
He assumed that the military
police are policing all that area
in which army personnel resides.

Snags in Getting
Federal Aid Told
By City Council

The executive department OF the
federal government had IFS direct
state representative in Tacoma
Tuesday with a ready ear for any
griefs city department heads mlgn,
have in their relations with I. >.
financing agencies.
Al Rochester. director OF the
Office of Government Reports IN
Seattle. asked specifically where
the city had run into snags in It's
efforts to get federal funds.
Safety Commissioner Eastwood
reported no success yet in his
efforts to obtain funds for four
new fire stations and four new
fire trucks. Utilities Commits
sioner o'Neil reported problems IN
passenger and freight Transports
ton on the tideflats which have
developed so recently he hadn't
had a chance to ask for federal
aid
NOIhS
and Mayor Cain reported no sue
cesses in their efforts to promots
state and federal cash for the
South Tacoma traffic bypass.
Rochester himself brought that
problem up, saying in all his driv-
ing about the state he finds South
Tacoma the worst traffic bottle
neck about which nothing seems
to be being done.
The mayor and Bergersen in
formed Rochester their main snag
on that project was Gov. Langlie,
who had turned them down fatty
when they requested state aid.
Rochester's job is to provide
direct reports to the president
upon state and municipal prob
lens which require executive at
tention.
