A Lottery

THE tax makers in conference
have lifted the impost on
chewing gum, but kept the 10
per cent cost tax on motor boats
retailing for more than 500.
They have untaxed jugs, but kept
a3 per cent tax on candy.
You will no longer have to paw
a'war tax on an umbrella, parasoi.
or hat box, but it will cost you 5
per cent to own a work of art, 10
per cent to own a modest camera
and 100 per cent, in this era of par
tial disarmament, to indulge in the
luxury of brass knuckles.
Which goes to show that tax
making, like making, is pretty
much lottery.

Those who are approached by
statesmen who sell bogus stocks are
told of the immense wealth to be
had by the purchase of Film, Flam
& Company's stocks. The salesman
paints glowing pictures of the
things you can do when you get
your great wealth of dividends. He
has his victims going through all the
vivid imaginings of a child antici-
pating the things Santa Claus is
going to bring for Christmas.
Most of us are as gullible as
children in such matters until the
bitter lash of experience teaches US

money. Most of us venture several
times before we wake up to the fact
that it's dangerous to take such
chances.
Washington is full of bogus stock
propositions. Few of them are worth
a second thought. A careful investi-
CATION will reveal the fact that most
of them are practically unknown in
their own locality. Any concern
which is not we'll known in its home
town and hasn't the support of the
citizens of that town isn't safe
investment.
Often salesmen selling such stocks
try to make the prospective pur
chaser believe that banks advise
against the purchase of their stocks
for selfish reasons-that banks want
to use his money to buy such
securities themselves.
A safe way to settle the question
is to ask the salesman to talk the
matter over with your banker. II
he refuses to go, you may brand him
as a fake. If he goes, the banker
will either show him up or acknowl-
edge his proposition to be a safe
investment.
If you don't want to invest in

No Strings
on Trip

tion of The Washington Times and
other Hearst papers for members OF
Congress to visit Canada to study
the Sales Tax has raised an inter-
esting question.
: This is a query by some Senators
and Representatives as to whether
or not they would assume any OBJ
legation to support the tax reform
suggested, should they become our
guests.
z Not only is the trip without OBJ
legation or commitment so far as
the individual opinion of members
Of the delegation is concerned, but
we are particularly eager to have
as our guests those members who
have most heartily opposed gross
turnover taxation.
We hope that they will bring
along their prejudices and their
performed opinions and submit
them to individual contact with the
taxation methods in vogue in Can
ada.
We hope that they will take oc-
casion to interrogate the Canadian
lawmakers and economists, 6nan-
ciers and bankers, who will explain
the Sales Tax to them.
We hope that they will individu-
ally or collectively absent them
selves from the Congressional Dele
cation to talk with the small trades
man, the salaried clerk, and the
man in the street who must in any
commonwealth carry the burden Of
taxation.
When they have done all these
things they will be in a position
intelligently to decide whether the
Sales Tax should be approved or
condemned by our National Con-
gress.
You members Of Congress know
as well as we do that the individual
or party that shirks responsibility
and pledges to the people of this
country in the matter of promised
tax reform will reach the day of
accounting.
. And you Congressman and Sen
ators realize as we'll as we do the
Importance of this issue.
Therefore, it behooves you to bend
your efforts toward amelioration of
existing conditions by individual
and collective study of economic
facts as they exist and operate in
sister countries.
1t is for the purpose of afford
ing you such an opportunity that
The Washington Times and the
other Hearst newspapers extend a
cordial invitation to all members
of the House and Senate to visit
Canada during the week of Novem-
ber 81.
1t matters not who defrays the
expenses. In this instance, we
choose to assume this role. We do
SO because reform of our methods
OF taxation, we believe, is of grave
public import, affecting the we'll
being of our country.
Congressman Lester D. Volk of
New York, who is acting as Chair
man of the Committee on Arrange
ments for the Congressional Dele
cation will be glad to correspond
with those members who may still
hesitate because of lack of informa-
tion on this very grave and impor-
tant matter.

close was strong, IA to &c net high

May $1.17 ga to $1.1S. Corn gained
$50 1-2c to Use, and oats is to Lee.

Although initial prices for wheat
were the lowest yet this season, the
market quickly began TO ascend and
throughout the rest of the day the
bulls had the advantage, except during
brief periods. Nervousness at the start
was due more or less to announcement
that a leading firm had. withdrawn

side, especially us offerings appeared
to be passing into strong hands.
