The bill as prepared by the committee is on the whole an excel- fent bill. It conforms to the party platform upon which congress was ielected. It is based upon the propo- ‘sition that our present tariff law is pasically sound and that it has pro- Wuced results generally satisfactory.” 'n. D.

No commissioner could “actively | engage in any other business vocation jor employment that that of serving {as a commissioner.” The committee also proposed to change the flexible tariff provisions so that changes in rates would be based upon competi- tive prices of comparable American and foreign goods in the principal American markets. MOTHER IRRATIONAL AFTER SON'S DEATH Amarillo, Texas, May 7.—(P)— {Broken by grief and unconscious, Mrs. Grace Walton today was on a | train accompanying the body of her son, Tom, Jr., killed by his father-in- v, to McAlester, Okla., where burial will be made. Mrs. Walton was unconscious when she was placed on the train last night. A nurse was with her. Friends said the mother had had but a few rational moments since her son was shot to death last Sat- urday by R. L. Hamilton, formerly judge of the Texas supreme court appeals commission, when she sent him to the lawyer to tell of a secret marriage last February with his daughter, Theresa, 19. Business men here have raised about $1,500 to retain special prosecu- tors in the case. INVENTION RESTORES ‘COLORS’ 70 TALKIES New York, May 7.—(?)—A new de- velopment in the “talkies,” whereby @ producer may “turn on the moon- {light” for love scenes, or use all the jtints from blue to red to run the amut of emotions, was announced Betore the Society of Motion Picturé Engineers here today. The invention restores the “colors” which were lost to some motion pic- tures when the “sound track” was in- troduced along with the edge of the photographic film. This does not mean pictures in natural colors, but shading the whole scene to any de- sired tone. It not only restores the color which was lost, but according to the announcement, goes further by replacing the eight lost tones with 16 new ones. It is designed to get icompletely away from flat, neutral gray. The restoration process was an- nounced by Loyd A. Jones, head of the physics department of the East- man laboratories. He said that the colors will enable projection of scenes in all-ove: tints giving a blue ee sea to vba needing that q: iy, orange peach- blow to love scenes, a cheerful glow to firelit scenes, yellow brilliancy for sunlight, emotionally cool green to the forest, repressive dark blue to murky night views and @ pompous royal purple to ceremonial occasions. “Careful study and experimenta- tion,” said Mr. Jones, “may lead to the development of this language or symbolism into a powerful emotional tool in the hands of the master motion picture dramatist.” The reason why heretofore the sound track inhibited use of colors was in the need of the photp-electric cell for plenty of blue light. Any- thing interfering with blue distorted sound, and the old color processes in- terfered. Wachter P. T.

The reductions were made, it was explaineds at the solicitation of the president of the United States and subject to the approval of the inter- state commerce commission. They will be issued with the understanding ‘that they shall expire on Sept. 30, 1929, and that they shall not be con- sidered a precedent nor as an ad- mission by the carriers that the rates today in effect are not unreasonably low under existing laws.” A statement issued by E. B. Boyd, Plains experiment station at Mandan has confirmed this opinion at Wash- ington, in addition never having a failure in its sweet corn experiment crops. As a result, some capitalists commented on this corn condition to him, said Mr. Sullivan, and he thought he scented a willingness to come in and establish a cannery. Capital Will Not Come But the capitalist said when that suggested: ‘The people of your state are not yet ready for manufacturing indus- tries.” He meant, said the speaker, that North Dakota was not willing to make taxing concessions to industry -—to abandon its income tax. nt attitude, he said, began before Tt was discovered that the East, notably Worcester, Massachusetts, was depositing its money heavily in North Dakota banks where it was loaned out to the farmers. Immed- fately, a movement to tax it was started, when, like the Arab folding his tent and silently stealing away, the bank deposits from the East packed off back there. Farm loan corporations were treated in a way to drive them out. Then having fixed these, said Mr. Sullivan, the state sct about taxing itself by the eels tax, on the expectation that chairman of the Western Trunk Lines | Y committee, said the reductions should only be construed “as indicative of the attitude of the carriers to assist the president of the United States in his program for relieving an emer- gency,” to the extent that these ab- normal reductions in rates may help the situation. The rates were announced as fol- lows: From the Missouri river to Chicago, 11':¢ per 100 pounds; to the Missis- sippi river, 7': cents per 100; from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago 7c Per 100 pounds; from Omaha to the Gulf, 20c per 100 pounds; from Kan- sas City, St. Joseph, Atchison, and Leavenworth to the Gulf, 19c per 100 pounds; from Minneapolis to Duluth 4c per 100 pounds; from Omaha and Sioux City to Duluth, 11 per 100 pounds; from Kansas_ City, St. Joseph, Atchison, and Leavenworth, to Duluth, 13c per 100 pounds; from St. Louis to New Orleans 12!:c per 100 pounds. ‘These rates from the Missouri riv- er to Chicago and to the Mississippi and From St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago represent a reduction of 6c per 100 pounds from Missouri riv- er to the Gulf, it is a reduction of 1l%sc per 100 pounds and from St. ead to New Orleans a reduction of io Minneapolis, May 7.—()—The Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads which move grain to Duluth and Superior, Wis., for transfer to freight steamers and shipment down the Great Lakes to Buffalo, have opened negotiations with Lake Tran- sit Lines for cuts in their tariff on grain moving by water. These nego- tiations, however, are being carried on directly with steamship companies, whose rates are not subject to regu- lation by the interstate commerce commission or any other govern- mental bodies. FLORDA PATRONAGE BATTLE IS LOOMING Washington, ‘May 7.—(P)—A pa- tronage controversy of proportions approaching that in Georgia appears to be developing among Republican Party leaders in Florida. It has its roots in the committee Plan of handling patronage in some of the southern states and for the moment the principal contestants are Glenn Skipper, Republican National committeeman, and A. F. Knotts, chairman of the party's state com- mittee. Since Florida is one of the four southern states which gave President Hoover @ majority last November, some party leaders are concerned about the present situation. The difficulty in Florida arose out of the selection by Committeman Skipper of a patronage committee for that state from which Knotts, W. J. Howie, Republican candidate for gov- ernor last November, and J. Leonard Replogle, of New York, and Palm Beach, were omitted. Bi peeaintecericn committee de- approve the Skipper setup, holding that it was not representative of the party leadership in the state. Knotts, Howie and Replogle came to Washington to confer with Brown and his associates, and Skipper was asked to join in the conferences here. Knotts has been recognized in the case of one recommendation from Florida, but members of the admin- istration committee here insist that the mere setting up of committees in the states to make recommendations on patronage does not bind the ad- ee tion to accept all recommen- Asks North Dakota To Change Taxation For State Growth Continued trom age one) and the saving of long-distance freight rates to just that extent. i He ERAGRTE RUIEPEAE Hiesiaut The result has been like wild duck migration. When these fowl are shot at they move on. So has capital. When That Day Comes What should be done about this ob- struction of capital? asked Mr. Sul- livan. The simplest remedy in the world is available, he said. Other states have tried. Florida abolished inheritance and income taxes and capital flowed there, notable from Wisconsin. California uses the sys- tem and capital flocks there. New York and Pennsylvania have built up their big manufacturing enterprises by keeping capital unhampered by taxation. Eliminate entirely taxation of capital, said Mr. Sullivan, and it will come into North Dakota end turn the raw supplies here into manu- factured products. Better yet. so fix it in the law that this freedom from taxation will be written into the charters of the industries, so that after they are induced to come into the state they will feel that there is no chance for double-crossing. At this stage Mr. Sullivan spoke of sugar beets and sugar corn as of- fering two raw products for finishing into manufactured products. He said beets had been tried out on the Mis- souri bottoms with fine results. “Suppose,” he said, “we did get cap- ital to come into North Dakota? What then?” Then will be the time for the two cities of Bismarck and Mandan to cooperate, he said. Here is the Mis- souri, flowing south. The load of native manufacturers would be south —along with the current. The empty carriers would come back against the current. Even the river is with the prospect invoked. Then is needed cooperation here—the utmost cooper- ation. As to the old trouble, said Mr. Sullivan, the best course with them is to pack them up neatly and take them east, out o2 the broad At- lantic, and sink them forever in mid- ocean, H. Sinclair Will Assist Nurse in Dispensary (Continued from page one) sult of his part in the leasing of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve, Sin- clair surrendered last night to begin serving his term for refusing to an- swer questions during the senate oil investigation five years ago. Assigned to Washing After spending his first night on an iron cot in one of the dormitory cells, he faced the routine of being finger-printed, undergoing a physical examination, and then receiving an assignment for his share of the jail duties, which include principally dish- washing, window-washing, and office work. He already has been assigned number 10520. Sinclair's movements yesterday, un- til he suddenly appeared at the front of the jail in an automobile in which he had motored from New York, were cloaked in mystery. He did not appear to witness the final court action which sent him to jail, and throughout the day, particularly after Justice William Hitz had ordered the sentence en- forced, newspaper men in New York and Washington had sought vainly for information as to when he would commence serving his sentence. The first inkling came shortly before & o'clock, when Edgar C. Snyder, United States marshal, left his home carrying the commitment papers and went for @ conference at the jail with its su- perintendent, Major William L. Peak. Surprises Waiting Crowd Believing Sinclair's arrival near, the crowd gathered at the door of the Jail moved restlessly to vantage points, federal marshal. “I am glad to see you, Mr. Sinclair,’ Snyder said. “How do you do, Mr. Snyder,” the Daily Washington At the’ nation’s ‘capital, NEA Service, world’s -greatestrnews= aNDUanennendcnecnencennsnonnessancccccconenesnacnenneonesoognoncnscaven nanecncunenapnneavnayacnany Letter icture_and_ feature - organization, ; maintains ja: capable ¥staff headed by Rodney Dutcher.
