The banking business In this State
was formerly conducted in the same
loose manner as the brokerage busi-
ness is today. Any sort Of crook
could open bank, accept the pub

bank. 1t was all very simple-just
as simple as It Is for the bucket
shop keeper. wko finds the money
going out faster than IL Is coming in,
to skip out with what romans in
the cash drawer.
The Remedy
This remedy is as follows: Let the
New York Stock Exchange take the
initiative through some of its lead
ing members. Have these members
gather around them the best and
strongest OF the great financial in
terests wtich center here In New
York. these interests to combine in
the placing Of a law on the statute

provide for the licensing of every
individual, firm, or corporation act
ing as broker or dealing in or lend
ing money on securities within the
bounds Of New York State.
Provide for a staff of auditors
who have had long experience with
the inner workings of Wall Street
so that they thoroughly know OF all
kinds of financial houses-so trained
that they can sense a crooked house,
and then prove it. Have this staff
examine every firms affairs at ir-
regular periods. See that they cali
for the vital books and il necessary
trace the transactions therein to
their origin.
Drive on the Crooks
When such a stan or It's inform
ants have reason to suspect that a
concern is bucketing or in any way
swindling its clients. let It go after
and secure the evidence necessary
to bring a conviction. Provide for
immediate arrest in such cases. and
make the felony (not a misde-
anor) punishable not by a fine.
but by Imprisonment for a substan-
tial number OF years. Make inves-
tigation swift and positive, convic-
tion just as swift. and punishment
protracted, and the crooks will be
driven out Of the BUSINESS and out
Of the state.

Bucket Shopping is going on
throughout the Street. Every mem
Der OF the Exchange is losing busi-
ness thereby. The public is losing
millions.
Naturally the bucket shops main
tain a strong lobby at Albany. when
the blue sky laws were passed In
1921, those In charge OF their en-
forcement looked through them in
vain for signs Of an appropriation.
but az one Of the Legislators said. "If
there had been any appropriation at

the bill"
Members Of the New York Stock
Exchange could. II they chose. or
ganize the best and strongest ele-
ments in the financial. commercial
and transportation world and through
this leadership and the combined in
huence OF all these, carry sledge
hammer of demand to the New
York State capitol and drive the
spike home. It could thus set an
example to the rest or the States
which might finally result in Fed
eral law that would prove really err
fective.

Screen.

tive laws on the statute books: con-
Quoting no campaign OF education

mitting its facilities to be employed

sribed: restricting the advertising and

crowd to grow up around IL.

PHILADELPHIANS
GET SCENT LOAF

PHILA., Jan. o.-The fve-cent
loaf OF bread returned to Philadel-
phia on Saturday when it was pla '-
ed on sale at one OF the large de-
partment stores.
Up until Saturday a pound loaf OF
bread brought from seven to ten
cents since 1916.
The managers attribute the return
OF the nickel loaf to the reduction
In price of raw foodstuffs.
Some OF the younger purchasers
had a hazy recollection of going TO
the corner store in childhood days
for bread at 8 cents a loaf and to
them 1t seemed like a return TO old
times. The more seasoned drew a
sigh OF relief to think that the fone

The COntiScdtion of Wealth
By Percy H. Johnston, President Chemical National
in The Forum

The power to tax is the power "a
destroy" said Chief Justice John
Marshall. The exercising today of
that power beyond the limits of dis
erection and good judgment will un-
questionably spell disaster. The pros
perity Of the country depends upon
the taxation laws in a larger meas
ure than is generally appreciated.
and 1t is therefore that every man.
woman and child in the land is di-
rectly concerned in the provisions
OF the temporary tax law recently
passed by Congress Since the sell
hsh dictates OF human nature
compel one TO look at the prom.
orrion from the standpoint of how
he himself will be affected. Il will be
well to analyze the continuation OF
high surtaxes on incomes and profits
from the standpoint Of the various
parties interested
Contrary to the generally accepted
opinion, the rich man has less fault
TO find with high rates on large in
comes than any other class. since all
he has to do is 10 invest his wealth
in securities which are exempt from
taxation. II is not the possession OF
wealth that has come to be regarded
in the eyes OF the law makers as
criminal and therefore TO be pun
ished but It is rather the acquiring
OF wealth that Is judged a menace
and for that reason to be abolished.
The rich man realizes that being the
possessor OF property he should con
tribute more toward deferring the
cost OF operating the state than his
less fortunate brother. but he does
object to what seems to him to be
contiscation by due process OF law
Should his business ventures thi.
year prove unsuccessful. he is OBJ
| liged to assume the entire loss. Will,
he is still liable for enormous taNe
because of last years profits He d
/ playing game by the rules OF
which, II he is successful. the gov
ernment claims a large part of tn
profits. Should he be unsuccessful
/ the total loss is to be borne by him
This means that he is not justified II

therefore diverts his wealth iron

THE sTTUATIoN.

Crooks and confidence men are
being allowed to practice their
nefarious schemes, year in and
year out, flching and swindling
the investing public Of millions
of dollars, depriving industry Of
much-needed means Of support.
THE REASON.
Although half-hearted attempts
have been made 10 uproot this
system, no direct, inc.sive action
has been taken. Such laws as
have been enacted. while devised
in all sincerity, have been weak
and ineffective. They have fallen
far short OF the needs of the sit
uation. They have not been of a
sort calculated to eliminate the
illegitimate broker.
THE REMEDY.
/. Widen the New York state
Banking Law to. provide for the
licensing OF every broker and
dealer In securities.
2. Provide for the inspection
OF the books OF brokerage houses
at irregular intervals by means
Of a STAFF OF auditors equipped
to secure evidence OF unsound or
illegitimate business methods.
3. Make this evidence the
basis for swift and positive con-
vicion, and make the punishment
jail sentences, not fines.
