to- tax one class of citizens for the
benefit of another.
Senator Reed replied that the right
to pay pension or bonus had never
been denied, that the constitutional

been questioned and that congress
has the right to say in the same bill

ship in advertising steadied the pub
lie, and filled it with confidence in the
basic integrity behind business. This

Advertising during the last few
months of radical readjustment has
had "a wonderful effect in stabilizing
the business equilibrium which has
been so near off center.
These effects would have been still
greater had more business houses
taken advantage of it's able assist
ance. The wise advertisers increased
advertising in the newspapers in
cities and towns where business was

which we have passed.
The banks have made a splendid

I credits. They are entitled to much
credit for the fine line they have
