PRoTEc TON OF CLIENT
AGAINST CROOKED BROKERS.

The failure within the past few
months of two brokerage houses in
Spokane entaiing heavy losses upon
many customers who had placed mon
ey with them for the purchase of
stocks, including not a few here in the
Occur d'Alene district. has created
widespread distrust of commission
houses. The experience here is in line
with that in various parts of the coun-
try, and particularly in New York. the
great center of stock speculation and
where many brokerage houses have
collapsed under conditions similar to
those in connection with the Spokane
failures. This situation recently
brought out a warning address from
President Cromwell, of the New York
Stock Exchange, against the bucket
ing" evil. The Evening Record, of
Hackensack, n. j., a suburb of New
York, in its issue of February 6. dis
GUESSING President Cromwelrs address.
reviews the condition of the stock
market for the years beginning with
1916 down to 1919 and finally makes
suggestions for the protection of the
public which seem practical and
sound. Local interest in these sugges-
tions. aside from their merits, is ex4
planned in the fact that the Evening
Record is controlled by John Borg.
president of the Callahan Zinc Lead
company. who we surmise is the writer
of the editorial quoted below. Mr.
Borg has achieved considerable fame
as the only man who made two mil
lion dollars on the New York curb and
kept it, and who recently announced
his retirement from the street because
he had money enough and turned over
his business to his employees. Con-
GLIDING its discussion of reforming the
stock market, the Record says:
Following the 1918 bull market
came the inevitable aftermath of all
excuses of financial speculation.
Prices of stocks collapsed and series
of long reactions ensued. Thousands
and tens of thousands of spectators
saw paper profits melt away and were
finally ruined
But while former stock market
panics had always taken their toll of
houses whose customers
accounts were impaired by the slump
his panic seemed to affect only the
customers. This was contrary TO
precedent and aroused considerable
comment in financial circles
After about is months of depressed
'tock market conditions the turn came
md stocks began to advance With

umor of trouble among the commits

The uninitiated could not under
tand this, but the initiated knew the

ence in all brokerage houses indi- II

DEMAND FOR A BONUS A DIS
CREDIT TO THE SERVICE.

SnGCii ~ OGnNlOE-
II the soldiers of the world war are
entitled to a bonus, or, as they prefer
to call it, adjusted compensation, why
are not the soldiers of all other wars
in which our country has been en-
gagged entitled to the same generous
consideration? Was the service rem
dered by the men who donned the uni
form in the world war greater than
that rendered by the "boys of 81?
Were they actuated by higher pa
triotie duty? Were they exposed to
greater danger or subjected to greater
hardships than those who saved the
union? Was the difference in their
pay as compared with that of men
who stayed at home essentially diff
ferent from that which prevailed be-
tween the earnings of civilians and the
men who fought and won the civil
war? Upon what ground does the
American legion claim this favored po-
sition a bounty never demanded and /
never received by the soldiers of any
other war?
Hanford MacNider commander of
the American legion. attempts to JUS
tfy the holdup in this way:
You would not take one of two
men equally paid in your employ
and send one out on a particularly
dangerous mission which he glad
iy undertakes out of his loyalty to
YOU risking his life. leaving his
family, ready to encounter or sur
mount any difficulties gladly to
serve you-meantime multiply the
wage of the man retained at home \
In safety many times-and on the {
first mans return not give him at ,
least an even deal with the other.
OF course you would not. even if
you hadn't promised him that
you'd see he got square deal j
when he returned" :
This Illustration is far from con- il
vincing; in fact. il places the American J.
legion and its leader in an even more Y
unenviable position than il already oc- C.
cupied. Giving it the correct applica- D.,

and imposed the same system of prof pl
iteering upon the people, the American r
legion is justified in making the same pi
demand and in enforcing it in the &C
same way. That is all there is to Mr.. OF

Lie plays no favOrites,
The great and low
Alike with grief she hits.
Beneath her blow
Coward and brave must vince,
Subject and naughty prince
To her are one;
She deals out smiles and tears,
Happy and troubled years,
And passes on.
Life cares for no mans within
Nor heeds his plea,
What she designs for him
Thus shall it be.
Whether he rise or fall,
Gaining or losing all.
Life has her way;
Rich, though a man may be,
He has no price or fee
LIES hand to stay.
Whether he smile or frown,
Life moves along.
Sending her transforms down
On all her throng.
Tain men shall have to know,
Whether he will or no.
Even his prayers
Life will not hear or heed
What though his heart may bleed
Little she cares.
Life has no thought to give
One little man.
Whether he die or live.
On goes her plan.
Ages that are to be
Always she seems to see
Better than these;
Man comes and goes away;
Life smiles and adds his day
Unto the centuries.

Observe the Law.

Is it not about time for the good
people of this country to stiffen up a
bit in the enforcement of the laws
against the manufacture and use of
intoxicating liquors?
AS matters stand now, it is against
the law to~make liquor, it is against
the law to own it, and it is against the
law TO use it.
To be sure there are people who
make n joke of arti-whisky laws, just
as trcy do any other laws that con-
flict with their comfort, convenience or
inclinatiCls.
But these arc not good people.
No man who will deliberately violate
any law is a good man.
A country that is full of men who
deliberately violate the laws whenever
il suits their inclination, is in u dan
gcrous state.
1t behooves every citizen who is
worthy of the name to do what he can
to compel obedience to the laws of the
land.

AID FOR HAIL SUFFERERS.

Refund of taxes for those farmers
living west Of Yorkville whose crops
were practically destroyed by hail on
August 8, 1922, was provided for in
resolution offered by Representative
elect James f. Beamguard of Glover,
and unanimously adopted at n meeting
of the York county legislative delega-
ton in Yorkville, Saturday. Farmers
who suffered so per cent loss by hail
in the storm area are to be relieved Of
the payment of taxes with the excep-
ton of the mill constitutional tax,
under the terms of the resolution
adopted. Those exempted are resi-
dents of Kings Mountain, Broad
River and York townships.
While the delegation in it's meeting
Saturday did not take cognizance Of
the fact, If they were aware Of it, The
Yorkville Enquirer learns that there
are a number of farmers living in
Bullock's Creek township who suffered
considerable loss to crops by hail at
the same time and that these farmers
will likewise seek tax relief.
At the meeting Saturday the dele
CATION endorsed the candidacy of w.
NJ. Dunlap, Esq, Of the Rock Hill bar
for the position of judge of the Sixth
circuit made vacant by the death Of
Judge Ernest Moore Of Lancaster.
Following is the full text of the
resolution adopted by the delegation
relative to relief for the hail suf-
ferers:

from the hail storm occurring in
Kings Mountain, Broad River and
York township on the 3rd day of
August, 1922, be relieved from all
taxes for the year 1922 except the
Constitutional three mill tax for
school purposes where such person
has suffered fifty per cent. or more in
damages from said hail storm; and
provided further, that no exemption
such person who shall make as much
as thirty three and one-third per
cent. of the crops made by him during
the year 1921, or that was made on
the same lands in 1921.
Every taxpayer claiming exemption
shall present to the county treasurer
an affidavit in which he shall set
forth that he was damaged as above,
and which said affidavit shall be duly
attested by three disinterested neigh
bors; and, upon their presentation Of
such affidavit, duly attested, the coun-
ty treasurer is directed to remit all
taxes except the said three mill Con-
stitutional tax for school purposes;

ton shall not include any poll tax or

empting such taxpayer from the pay
ment of the state tax levy.
In the event the delegation is unable
to get relief from the levy for state
purposes, it will introduce a bill re-
lieving such person from the levy for
general county purposes.

REVIVAL IN PROGRESS

That the revival which began at
Trinity Methodist church Yorkville,
last evening is TO continue throughout
the week is not to be Methodist re-
vival strictly; but a spiritual revival
which it is hoped will be Of interest to
members OF all denominations and no
denominations at all, was the state
ment made by those in charge Of the
meeting at the initial service. The
preaching is being done by Rev. ]. G.

Mountain Chapel Methodist churches,
preacher of power and pleasing per-
sonality.

good voices having been gathered for
the service. With Mrs. L. G.. Baber at
the organ accompanied by Mr.. Stowe
Turner on the violin, the choir led
in numerous popular Gospel Songs and
after a selection or two the congrega-
ton joined in right heartily. 1t was
announced that services will be held
each morning throughout the week at
10 a. m, and each evening at 1880 p. m.
and a cordial invitation was extended
to all who possibly could to leave their
business for an hour morning and night
in order to attend the services.
Laymen entered into the spirit Of
the meeting the opening night, two lay
members Of the church offering the
two prayers of the evening, invoking
the blessing of the Almighty upon the
revival.
1t was an interesting and instructive
sermon that Rev. Mr.. Huggin preached
last evening from John S:12-"I am
the Light of the World"
Jesus Christ, he said, is not a dead
issue despite the fact that He has
been physically dead for 1000 years. He
is just as alive now as He was when
He made the statement Il am the light
