FRAUDULENT OPERATIONS

Regardless Of what benefit it might
be expected would be drawn from the
many lessons which have been taught
those who have carried on fraudulent
schemes against individuals, corpora
tons, states or nation, there are still
those who consider thar they are
clever enough to overcome the obsta-
cles which have foored others. There
IS something alluring about under
handed and crooked work which some
PEOPLE cannot resist. They do not
seem to realize that the same effort
put forth in behalf Of horA~ehle I'M
dertakings would not only result 20
their financial betterrnent but to the
maintenance of their respect among
their fellowmen.
Attention to such things is called
almost every day. Since the opening
of the war there have been many stud =
led efforts TO take advantage of the
conditions and to rake in handsome
Profits to which there was no lesiti-
mate claim. This is emphasized by
the indictment In st. Louis by the
federal grand jury OF IA men charged
with conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent, two being charged with using
an inferior grade of coffee in filling
government orders and the other
| twelve with conspiring to obtain
clothing sold at a government bar
racks at low rate by forming a com.
| bination to put in low bids.
| Wherever such conditions are dis
closed ard where conviction IS OBJ
tanned there is reason for insisting
upon making an example of sucI
people 1t is the only way in which
the needed decrease in such activit,
can be brought about and certainl,
too much attention cannot be give,
TO correcting such tendencies. LIE
them be overlooked or encourage,
| through leniency and others are so

brings gladness and brightness to our
vision.
We live on the uniIIuminsted side of
the cloud; only needful rays shine
through, and yet the rays are quite
sufficient for our guidance. We can
not understand the fulucss of Gods

of the mysteries connected with the

into the overwhelming glory there.

their eyes shined when they were
called little patriots" although they
could not fully sense to completeness
of the compliment. They have enjoyed

if we knew just how many million dol
lars Uncle Sam owes his infants,
especially if we include the law-in-
fants, since in the eyes of the law
infancy closes at the age of u years;
but we are thinking of children less
than 10. Don't you suppose a thrift

forlorn hope? 4 thrift stamp to many
of them must look like the quarter

has undergone many changes for
one reason or another but it is proba

1il probability IL will not he many
lays before it is adopted
The fact that there is to be a less
rniuc in the tax received from intoxi-
eants is taken into consideration. As
FAR as the fellow with a small income
is concerned the income tax remains
The same. Those who do not earn
$1,000 have no such tax 20 pay. Those
single and earning over 81 900 must

IN the tax is felt, while The corpora
