Have you seen the wonderful
Tiffany glass curtain built In New
York for the Mexican National
theater3 II you haven't, you
won't without a trip to Mexico
City. The curtain has been on
exhibition for several days, but
now is being boxed for shipment.
Imagine a curtain as large as
any theater curtain you have seen
composed of great checker
squares of glass set in bronze and
making a wonderful picture OF
the principal volcanic mountain
in Mexico. The glass has the
changeable iridescence of the Tif-
fanny product, and under the
changing footlights shows the
brilliance of morning and the eff
feet of evening on water and
mountain. The cost of the cur
jtain must have been enormous.
In the United States, If we had
such a thing as a national the
alter, a curtain like this would be
regarded as an extravaganza, but
in Mexico, where peonage exists
and where the upper classes are
Immensely wealthy, little expen-
ditures like this are regarded AZ
trifling. Sincerely,

Democrats and Economy

The United States treasury deficit
to date for this fiscal year is S24,-
1SO,O29, or nearly S2O,0OO,OOO in ex-
cess of the deficit at this time last
year. Yet the democrats of the
House have begun business by passing
a pension bill that may increase pen
sion expenditure by S50,0O0,00O and
their leaders are almost in a panic
over the possibility that an equally
extravaeant public buildings bill will
go through for the benefit OF my
constituents and my town"
If the expenditures authorized at
this session should conform to the
standard that many honorable mem
bers have in mind. no tariff legisla'
ton in the least reducing revenues
would be possible, while the internal
revenue taxes would have to be In
creased. Even a bond issue might be
necessary to cope with democratic
extravaganza, in case a democratic
president should come into power or
top of the carnival of spending.

shocking record, the republican plat

Young evergreens news item In
the Rutland News states that the
records of the town of Mount Holly,
which is at the center of the Christ
mas tree traffic in Vermont, indicate
that wholesale dealers, who live out
side of the ntate, have found way
to avoid the payment of the state IL

and that the business could not be
carried on with profit with such re-
strictlons. The statute permits a
man to cut trees on his own land
without the payment of license so

rid of the expense of the license,
wholesalers are ostensibly buying
pieces of mountain land which are
covered with young spruces, there

plots may be decided back to the orr

of trees has been harvested. The
shipment from Mount Holly and vici

carloads. This is about the average
cut for the district and as practically
no licenses have been taken out ant
no complaints have reached the
states attorney, there is every indica

American spirit has regained its buoy
ancy and optimism. We are today
like men moving about under a pal
