Sees Tax
Increase
BY PAT DENNIS
Bstrsit Tfssss Real Estate Editor

Increased tax rates in Detroit
are inevitable, Mayor Jeffries told
$50 realtors at the 54th annual
banquet of the Detroit Real Es-
tate Board last night in the Hotel
Statler.
r Jeffries cited the loss of sources
of revenue. such as the city's
share of the highway and gas tax
and the closing of the race track.
and pointed out that a large per-
centage of the state sales tax is
paid by Detroit but that the city
gets nothing back from il.
This city, like real estate,
needs rehabilitation and new
facilities" he added. 'We've got
to have assistance and more
money. Detroit Ia the goose
that lays the golden egg for the
State of Michigan, but the gov
ernor and other high state Off
cials At Lansing forget about
US"
OPPOSES TAX RAISE
1t. Gov. Brown had spoken pre-
viously about the sales tax re-
serve the state had accumulated,
and Edward +. Lambrecht, on
taking up his duties as the 1915
realtor president, had expressed n
hope that the tax on real estate
would not be raised in face of
the restrictions put on property
by the OPA rent ceiling.
The realtors paid tribute to the
outgoing president, Samuel J.
Slavens.
William Fl. Leininger, indus
trialist and chairman of the De-
troit Committee for Economic
Development, spoke on Fore
casting the Industrial Climate for
194x."
"Our national tax structure
must be reformed Thoroughly
before industry can get up full
steam again." he said.
II believe this reform n COM
ing but to have full advantage
ef the reform, IL should be un-
dertaken now and not two
years from the end of the war.
Give the green light to In
dustry on taxes now 80 that 10
may have some assurance OF
the tax weather ahead
He expressed the belief that
industry here after the war could
not employ the surplus labor
force.
I'VE have seen our factory
force jump from 432 900 before
the war to moro than 700,00
at present" he said. "Many will

they came,

Bredyik, Pioneer
In Alaska, Dies

Away from Alaska for the first

rs, pioneer Sitka merchant, died
at Swedish Hospital in Seattle
June 9. He had not been outside"
since he first went to Alaska in
the gold rush days, until illness
forced him to make the trip a
month ago.
Born in Bergen, Norway, Mr..
Bredvik arrived in Astoria, Ore,
81 years ago, worked for a rail-
road in South Dakota for a short
time, and then joined the sour
dough stampede. Settling in Sitka
he established a general merchan-
disc store and remained in the old
Russian capital of Alaska. He was
widely known throughout South
eastern Alaska as one of the pio-
neer business men of the area.
Besides his widow, Martha, Mr..
Bredvik is survived by three sons,
all in the army, and two daugh-
tiers, Martha Bredvik of Sitka and
Mrs. Astrid Gominger, Seattle
The sons, whose homes are in
Sitka, are Pfc. Henrik Bredvik,

On| y SO Of 12O Swedish Ships In
BIRTHS h Service Remain Af|oat

STOCKHOLM, May 81 (By wire
less)-The Swedish correspondents
in London report that of the 12O
ships chartered to Great Britain
in 1910 only so remain afloat to-
day and some of the latter are
so badly run down that they may
have to be scrapped Immediately.
The rest will probably be returned
to Sweden soon for repairs before
they can be added to the interna-
tional shipping pool which Sweden
has joined. The total tonnage of
the ships chartered in 1910 was
100000 d. w.
From London come reports that
as soon as Swedish formalities are
disposed of, seventy-seven addi-
tional cargo vessels, most of them
already loaded, are ready to leave
Swedish ports in accordance with
agreements reached with the ex-
ecutive board of the international
pool. Of the ships available, twen-
ty tankers are expected to go to
New York in ballast for further
orders there. Of the remaining
fifty-seven freighters, twenty will
be sent to England, ten to Dem
mark, ten to South America, and
the rest to Mediterranean ports.

From the very beginning, Morse
literature has been written for the
people and was part of its life.
For long periods it's very preserva-
ton was dependent on it's value to
ordinary human beings, for it lived
exclusively on the peoples tongue.
Even after the invention of print
ing, it's main existence has been in
the souls, not on the shelves. Men
like Peter Dass, Holberg, and
Wergeland were part of the ma
tional wealth long before they
died; Bjornson and Ibsen stirred
the life of the average Norwegian
more than any other contempt
rary. Foreigners sometimes leased
the Norwegians about their poet
ocracy." But if the nation was
proud Of its great writer's, it was
mostly because they meant so
much to itself
But tradition is more than books
bought and used and appreciated.
1t is an atmosphere, set of stand
ards built up in the minds even of
those VINO don't read much, a COM
mon ground without which higher
literary interest remains limited
and sterile. This basis in Norway
was the broad democratic culture
which the literature itself had
been instrumental in building, and
which n its turn carried the lit.
erary creations back to the nation.
The cells Of this growth were
the Norwegian homes. From time
inmemorial these homes had been
the main carriers of the nations
heritage; and even in the age of
rotary press and radio they still
passed on the most intimate values
of the tradition: the unconscious
patterns of thought and feeling;
picked up with the learning of the
language, embodied in the behavior
of parents and grown-ups, ex-
pressed in proverbs and jokes and
fairy tales, hymns and prayers and
Bible stories. nursery rhymes and
commonplace quotations, hidden in
the shade of a voice and the under
tone Of song, and more in
eradicable than any theoretical
conviction. In these smallest units
of society national atmosphere
was reborn with each new genera
ton within the natural fellowship
Of family life.
On these foundations the school
built its work. Norway's obligatory
Lutheran elementary school, and
its teachers, for generations the
traditional vanguard of progress
sive democracy. Their modelling of
good citizens rested on literary
