— OR, PERHAPS , BUY PACK OF CHEWING WAX - Naval Economy Program to Cut Per Capita Tax, Says Congress . WASHINGTON. March B.—The Naval economy program In Congress will give every American an extra trip to the movies. That, In everyday terms. Is the amount saved to the average citizen under the proposed reduction In Naval expenses as now Intended by Congress, according to estimates of Naval officials today. Out in hie corn belt, where movies cost less and the per capita tax is lower, John Citizen probably will get all of two trips to the movies. Putting it another way. If everybody would forego one fling at a typical Broadway show per annum and donate it to the Government, he could maintain a first-class Navy painlessly. These possibilities are gathered from the latest statistics to a Congressional committtee by Admiral Coontz, chief of operations. The treaty Navy would cost about SI annually a person. Congress proposes to reduce this cost to what would amount to little more than S3 50 annually per eaptta, thus giving each citizen less than 50 cents as saved. This Is the price of the avera;"* first-class moving picture show. Experts state practically no saving will be realized from scrapping the ships ! under construction, as it would cost only ! a little more to build them than to break them up. However, the completed Navy would cost 5600.000.000 annually. The new Nary will cost $450,000,000, so an annual saving of $150,000,000 is effected.

Recently the Chicago Journal of Commerce in an editorial discussion of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as an example of modern American business, said: "Three years ago the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), which does business in eleven states, adopted a wholesome publicity policy, not only to derive the natural benefits ot ad vertising its products, but to acquaint the public with intimate information regarding the Company and its affairs. The fair dealing, justice and equity of its piactices, the business principles which rule its conduct, have been published far and wide throughout the territory it serves. Its policies were frankly disclosed to promote the welfare and to secure and hold the confidence and esteem of its stockholders, employes, and the public. The Company has paid for this publicity service just as any other industrial Or mercantile enterprise pays for its advertising, and with most gratifying results. “This publicity campaign has been dubbed ‘Good-Will advertising’—a happy phrase. GoodWill is the foundation of every prosperous business. Good-Will always contributes to profits and can be secured only by fair dealing, fair prices, and a rigid adherence to business ethics. In all these the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a model of efficiency.” THIS appreciation of the purposes, practices, and achievements of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) so clearly expressed in the above quoted editorial is most gratifying to the Board of Directors of this Company, for it confirms their conviction that understanding and fairness go together. You cannot be fair unless you understand. You cannot understand unless you are willing to be fair. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is performing a highly essential service in a highly specialized branch of industry. It is doing something that has to be done in a way that entitles it to the approval ot the public it serves. It is to the interest of the public as well as the Company that the Company should give a frank account of itself and of the stewardship of its seven Directors. Hence this sustained campaign.

CHICAGO, March B.—A controversy that threatens to result In a widespread Investigation of law enforcement conditions In Chicago has arisen today out of tho trial of Thomas J. Walsh, labor leader, for the murder of George Gast, a waiter. Gast and Adolph Georg, Jr., were shot down In Georg's wlneroom. Walsh already has been tried and acquitted of the murder of Georg. The trial of Walsh for Cast’s murder was scheduled to begin before Judge John J. Sullivan, who presided at the first trial.’ State’s Attorney Crowe asked Chief Joistice Scanlan to assign the case to some other Judge, charging prejudice against Judge Sullivan, and Judge ScanInn ordered the case transferred to Judge Joseph Filch. ' Judge Sullivan refused to relinquish the case, contending the chief Justice has no authority to reassign a case once it has been prepared for trial. He declares only the presiding judge can grant a change of venue. State’s Attorney Crowe has asked Judge Scanlan to call a grand Jury fpr the investigation of the entire affair. Crowe alleges he will present evidence that perjury and bribery figured in the first trial of Walsh. Crowe likewise assailed the method of obtaining Juries In this county, and asserted It Is practically Impossible to obtain criminal convictions here. Crowe made public a letter he had received threatening his life if he started any “fool talk of grand juries for labor guy,.’’
