THE REPORT A rHERlNE MADE

We reached DIR. pcttits Office at q
quarter before the hour he had named
I'm his message. In obedience To Lillian
suggestion, We had left the car IN front
of the library, had gone in, taken out n
book apiece, and upon coming out she
had looked sharply up and down the
street to sec # by any possibility the
man whom we knew as Smith was IN
the vicinity. Satisfied at length that
he was not near, that, indeed, IN all
probability. he was at his EMPLOYER
home three mules away, We had walked
swiftly to the house IN which the phNsi-
cian has his office and lving-roomS,
and had entered unobtruslyely to ind
that he had no, yet arrived.

now he knew il was not food nor
was it water that spilled over. him. II
When Mr.. Fox awoke II was daylight,
In fact the sun was up and he knew
that If the thief had visited his pantry
he had again escaped him. But when
he looked out the pantry window and
saw the big white spot on the ground
and the tracks leading into the bushes
MIR Fox smiled, for he knew he could
find the thief
But he ate his breakfast for his
pantry had not been robbed, and then
putting on his hat and taking his cane,
he started out for a walk.
His walk was along the walk where
/ the white tracks had been left by
Billy Posslm and. oi course, they led
him straight to the door of Billys home
/ Billy PosSum saw him coming and
/ then for the first time he saw the white
1 tracks. and though he did not know
what It was, he did know that in some
way Mr.. Fox had played a trick which
was n trap 10 catch him and had tracked
him right TO his very door.
This was the time for him TO "plav
dead and he did II at once, and so.
after knocking on the door two or three
times and receiving no answer, Mr.. Fox
opened il and walked in.
On the floor of his kitchen lay Billy
! Possum and he did look more dead
than alive. His teeth were showing,
for Billy knows just how to Took dead, -
and his long skinny tail and withered
looking ears help him to carry out the
trick.
But Mr.. Fox knew Billy Possum
and all about his tricks. He poked
HIM with his cane. You look worse
than usual. Mr.. Possum," he said
Seems 10 me. your coat has a whitisf
look. You look more like deao
Possum than ever before"
Billy did not move
If YOU do not wish to be a deac
poSsum in earnest, MIR Possum, vol
had better keep away from my pan
try, for next time il will be something
that will sink deeper than the white
wash and il won't come of"
Billy did not move until Mr.. Fo:
was 80 far away that he could no
hear his footsteps, and then he got W
from the floor. We'll, he caught III
and ! can't 90 there again, so ] CUES
I'll run over TO the farm tonight in

is that Mr.. Fox"
And this is the reason that tn
Oppossum family all wear grayisl
white coat to this day. At least, s,
the Foxes tell the story, that Bill
Possum never could get all Of the white
wash out of his fur, and so all tn
Opossums that came after him have t
wear the same faded looking coats.

There were sound reasons for
some Of the Standard on
companies increasing the num-
Der of shares because the cap
ital stock was ridiculously out
Of line with their assets and
their earning power.
But since then every rag
tail mad bobtail concern has
been frenziedly swelling the
amount of its capital stock:
I'm not a lawyer, but / very
much doubt whether the course
now being SO excitedly and
spectacularly followed viii pre-
vent our lawmakers from car
rying out whatever designs
they may have in mind. Laws
sometimes can be retroactive.
And there are other things b.
sides a surplus that can be
levied upon IL the Taxpayers
are determined to get at
corporations.
Indeed, I question whether
these sensational stock divi-
dend distributions will not stir
up so much attention and ex-
cite so many ideas, false sad
otherwise, about the plutocracy
of corporations that the poll
ticians will be more embold-
ened than ever TO 20 after
corporations to meet a larger
share of the nations tax bur-
dens.
Can you blame this workman
in Arizona for pointing things
out as he has done.
Can you blame the public for
getting the impression that our
corporations have been making
such a tremendous amount Of
money that they are resorting
by the score, BY the hundreds,
to ladling out hundreds and
hundreds of millions Of dollars
in stock dividends and other
special dividends to their share
holders?
/ can not but feel that it
would have been wiser, all
things considered, for boards If
directors to have adhered strict
ly to sound financial principles
and not resorted SO spectacu-
larly to what is universally in
terpreted as a tax-dodging
maneuver.
In the face of what has been
and is happening dividend-wise,
what sympathy, what support,
are corporations likely to re-
ceive if they plead poverty
when the tax-layers bring for
ward drastic tax legislation?
Are the rank and file Of the
public not going to say: 'flf the
corporations have been able to
paw out a billion or two in spe-
cial dividends to their own
stockholders, they surely can af-
ford and should be made to pay
more than they have been paw
ing to Tighten the taxes of the
rest Of us and to help to run
the Government under which
they have been able TO make so
many billions Of dollars?"
