Congress began the session with the best
of intentions as to reduction OF taxes but it
has changed its mind. After trimming things
to the quick in some departments, at least, WHIP
ing out among other things, the federal en-
ployment service by stinting appropriations, it
still faces a deficit of from two to three and
one-half billions. Federal taxes will not be
lower next year On the contrary they will
be higher, if any way can be devised to make
them so without precipitating a revolution.

There was a memory of the
most tragic hour of young Bert
ram Wynn's life that he never for
got. He had left his home 10
miles distant with a dark cloud
lowering past and present, and
rad sat down at the edge of a
bluff lining a waterway to think,
to cast up accounts socially. f1nan-
eially and morally. The outlook
was desolate. As in an evil dream
he summed up the disastrous eli
max to advice he had given his fla
Their as to investments, that had
brought John Wynn TO the verge
Of bankruptcy. He had sought soli-
tude to anaIyze the shock, to with
stand its crushing weight if that
seemed possible.
Darker and more forbidding
grew his scoBling brow as he
faced the facts. Gloomier and
mere repelling seemed the future.
His eyes fixed on vacancy, his lips
grimly compressed, he drew a re-
yolver from his pocket, turned it
over speculatively in his hand and
then hastily thrust it upon the
ground behind him as the sound of
approaching voices reached him.
a picture in vivid contrast to the
dismal visions wrought by his de-
spending mentality was presented.
