TAKING ExTRAvAGANcE.

There is merit in Secretary Houstons
proposition to place higher surtax on
large incomes that are spent. than on
those that are partially reinvested. The
wealthy man who saves most of his
income performs public service. His
money starts new industries, helps in
crease production equipment builds
homes for the people. etc The rich
man who spends all his money ought
to be heavily assessed. 1t is true that
his extravaganza keeps labor employed.
But it does not increase production.
Just as much labor is employed when
money is put into the permanent E.
quipment of the country, and in addi-
tion the people gain from having i'm
proved facilities.

decided gains all around.
Oats ascended with corn. After
opening unchanged to Ia cent higher,
including May at "a 37S to - 5-s, the
market scored a general advance.
Provisions were lifted by strength
