in public expenditures, to limit pub lie indebtedness for unnecessary or unreasonabIy costly public improve ments, to stem the flow of capital into productive enterprises, and to otherwise control agencies of gov erKment which at present ignore eco homie laws in pursuance of their ad- ministrative or legislative functions, the nation will be confronted ere long with a serious political and eco homie upheaval from this cause alone. Only constitutional amend uaent can remedy this situation and prompt action is imperative.
 It augurs well for the taxpayers of the country that the federal admin istration recognizes the importance Of the issue. The removal of the ex- emption whereby income from these securities will be made subjct to tax will not deprive state and local gov ernments of market for a reason able issue of bonds whenever public improvements are needed, but will serve to promote efficient manage ment of the business of such govern ments and will compel sound prac- tices in the handling of public funds raised in this manner.

FRENCH FARMERS
 MOVE TOC|TIES-
 LAND BE E|NG SOLD
Fate of Agriculture Disturbs Government Officials-La- Dor Shortage Reported
 as Cause of Exodus
By Associated Press

Paris, December 2.-With more than one-tenth of the farming lands of France for sale, there have been frequent expressions of alarm as to the fate of agriculture. The cry was recently raised in the chamber of deputies that France was flor sale"
 Various suggestions have been made to prevent the increasing movementkto the cities and to per- suade the people to go back to the land When unemployed persons with farming experience apply for work at the employment bureaus, 1t was proposed to send them to farms needing help.
 The shortage of labor because of the losses among the peasantry in the World war is one of the reasons why so much farming land has been placed on the market. Many women whose husbands and sons were killed prefer to sell rather than to strug- gle with the difficult problem of working a farm.
 Some of tht farmers, enriched with war profits, are going into retire. ment. while many farms in northern France are not cultivated because lHeIT oWH6TS nave disappeared. The high wages paid by the factories as compared with the remuneration com manded by agricultural help are at tracing many young men and girls from the country to the city.
 The prices of farms on the market vary according to size and location. Competent authorities place the aver age at between 1,25o and 1.5o0 francs per acre.
 Notwithstanding the growing un- popularity of agriculture, the French farmer Is the most perfected indi- vidual in France. His interests are looked after with greater care in the national legislature than those of any other class and he gets off with comparative ease in his taxes, paying but one-fiftieth part of the total income tax collected.
 Farm products are still high and are not alwasy sufficient to meet the demand. judging from the fact that farm products, exclu-
 sive of grain, were imported las

THE TAX EXEMPTs

From the Mining Congress Journal.
 Tax exempt bonds are increasing in volume. Every new issue finds ready market. They draw from the reservoir of liquid capital vast sums which otherwise would be available for industrial investment. They cause an additional tax burden to be imposed to meet interest and sinking fund requirements. They reduce the tax base of the country by increas- ing the volume of non-taxable wealth. They foster extravaganza in the expenditure of public funds. They encourage public indebtedness be- yond sound credit basis, weaken ing the credit of the nation. They stimulate imitation and discourage retrenchment. They create tempo rary employment for labor and make insecure permanency of employment in industrial enterprises where the shortage of labor Is dangerously acute. They exempt from taxation a class of wealthy citizens who wield great political influence without sharing directly the duties or re- responsibilities of government. They constitute an obstacle to industrial prosperity and a menace to national welfare.
 Unless prompt measures are taken to prevent the continued issuance of such securities, to curb extravaganza

 For many years a considerable part of the business has been done by brokers who have no regular place of business and pay no office rent, meeting at a cafe In the Rue Lafay- cite. They keep no books, simply ex- changing stones for cash without asking further questio ms. The busl- ness naturally lodges all official con- trol.
 The minister of finance now in sists upon a regular exchange for this business so that all dealings may be traced.
 Gold, silver and tinse1 in pro- fusion, beads and pearls in all colors, and metals more or less precious interwoven in the form of wire or ap- piled as spangles. are making the newest creations of the Parisian dressmakers resemble a fancy dress ball.
 This turn in the style is regarded as a direct response to the demand of the government that the modes be made to furnish a better demand for French ornament
 One Of the newest efforts at originality in women's wear is em- broidery on furs. This fad has just been launched by one of the more audacious of the Parisian houses.
 The fan Is coming back and is ex- pected to have a great vogue in Paris during the winter season. Those made of ostrich plumes and aigrettes are the most popular.
 The athlete most popular in France is neither Georges Carpenter nor Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, Jean ouin Long. a distance runner who lost his life in the war, leads in the referen- dunn organized by LAuto with 37,7S2 votes. Carpenter follows with 13,121 and Mmle.

 Paris Is suffering from a night mare of explosions in coal stoves all over the city. Housewives have been wrought up to a nervous condition almost as bad as was caused by air raids during the war. Scores of ex- plosions have already been reported and they are still continuing. Rifle cartridges and shell fuses mixed with the coal are believed to be the cause of the blasts.
 The police discovered rifle car tridges in one lot of coal which came from Belgium. In the absence of a definite solution. the mystery was att tributed to communists or disgruntled miners.
 In some cases great damage has been done and lives endangered. The police are sitting the coal in all yards in the city

DEMAND FOR GLASS PRODUCTS

ITO realize the enormous strides that have been made in the use of glass products and the wonders of I it's use," says writer in Forbes Magazine. 'one has only to make swift survey of some of the better known modern buildings.
 Take, for instance. the Woolworth building, the tallest inhabited struc- ture in the world, with its almost unbelievable wind-Ioad. Every few feet it's massive steel girders are spaced with wide apertures which present to the enormous wind pres- sure nothing more than a thin trans- parent surface. Five thousand of these windows, each carrying two panes of glass. offer the greatest spread of glass In proportion to high pressure that is known in the world today, for there is nothing near the Woolworth building which is of suf- ficicnt height to break the wind pressure except on the lower floors.
 The natural assumption would be that the breakage would be enor- nous, yet replacements do not amount to two dozen lights a year, and this breakage is practically all above the sixth floor.
 Wind pressure in New York city Is stupendous. because of the sweep
 
 and cuts 1t way through the narrow stretch between the Hudson and the Beast rivers In figuring wind-load and resistance, architects build against winds of from 80 to 100 miles an hour. The huge buildings which house the multitudes in downtown New York present to this wind pres sure a surface of which anywhere from a quarter to a third Is com posed entirely of glass. Yet it holds.
 "The building of the Equitable Life Assurance society is the largest of fec building in the world. It Is 70 stories high. contains 1,250,000 square feet of rental area. and its outside exposure is one-third plate glass. This Is divided into 5.700 windows.
 Tn short. demand for glass as a part of building equipment has in- creased more rapidly than for any other building material" N
