Optimsim in Department of Labor Shows Employment is Increasing Washington, July 25 (Capital News Service)—According to figures of the Department of Labor, the United States may shortly face a labor shortage, its unemployment problem completely solved . Director General Jones of the Em- ployment Service declares that the ‘“country is steadily but surely forg- ing its way toward a period of in- dugtrial prosperity in which it is posible that the labor supply will not equal the demand.” Optimism, he believes pervades every industry in every part of the country. Economists of the Nation’s Capi- tal sound a note of caution to those to whom any optomistic “statement is taken at its face value rather than for its real meaning. They point out that a labor shortage does not necessarily mean that every man in the couritry has a job, but that there are jobs enough for every man if every man without a job could get to it, no country, at any time in history, has ever succeeded in ef- fecting such perfect distribution of labor that all jobs were always fill- ed without there being any jobs or men left over. Thus at the present time there are States with too many farm hands and states with a ery- ing need for farm hands. There are industries with a forceful demand for skilled laborers which cannot be found and trades with skil ed labor- ers who can not find work. It is fundamental and country-wide con- ditions which the Department of La- bor- considers, and in summarizing the decrease in unemployment and the coming labor shortage in cer- tain lines, it shows only a national ions, Local national conditions may contradict S| ones in certain places without pre- judice to the accuracy of the sta- tisties as a whole. With practically every industry in the country taking on more men, and with Wall Street and the bank- ing interests registering optimism, it is not difficult to read into pre- dictions of. lubor shortage a com- forting assurance of a coming solid and pre-war normal prosperity. Such at least, is the mature judgement of impartial Government experts. TAXATION PROBLEMS AT MINNEAPOLIS MEETING Arrangements Under Way for Fifteenth Annual Session On Taxation Problems Minncapolis, July 256—Arrange- ments are now under way for the forthcoming fifteenth annual con- ference on taxation, held under the auspices of the National Tax Asso- s cintion. This year's sion will take place in the Radisson Hotel in this city, beginning September 18, and will be attended by delegates from the various states, numerous universities and associations of pub- lic accountants. Taxation of natural resources is one of the now and somewhat nov- el topics to come up for discussion. Others slated for consideration are tax limitations and matters partie- ularly relating to Minnesota and adjoining states, problems encount- ered in overhauling the taxation system of a state, Canadian tax problems, the We: Virginia sales tax, forestry taxation and taxation of public utilities. A report is to be given on the apportionment between states of the taxes on mercantile and manufac- turing business. An effort will be made to fix upon a means for avoid- ing the present unsatisfactory sit- vation, which often inyolves scr- ious and unjust duplication. Two other reports will feature in- heritance taxation and” taxation of migratory livestock, both of which subjects are now being investigated by committees. The puzzling Rich- mond decision, ‘relating to banks, is a topic held over from the last ses- sion, which will come up ll;:i.lill Tax excmpt sccurities and state in- come taxation as rel to proper- ty taxation and classified property taxes will also be considered. The conference will last four days, closing on September 22, Numerous prominent tax experts from all over the country have been BIRCH TREES ON LAKE ' DRIVE BEING PEELED It has been brought to the atten- tion of the Pioncer that a number of birch trees on the lake shore drive arouhd Lake Bemidji have been peeled.

ANNUAL MOOSE BAZAAR IS WELL PATRONIZED The Moose Bazaar was well pat- ronized last evening despite a num- ber of other attractions in Bemidji. The Moose band assisted in enter- taining with a number of stirring elections in the early evening.. A carnival dance was given in the Moose hall by the Blue Ribbon or- chestra. Dancing this evening will begin at 9 o’clock, The Women of the Mooscheart Legion will give ser- ice to the dancers on soft drinks, The confliction of dates with the Cautauqua was not forseen when the dates for the bazaar were set and the committees in charge of the bazaar hope that the chautauqua will not suffer by the competition. It is not believed that the bazaar iz suffering greatly athough it is taking away from it a number of oose workers.
