The bill OF Representative Taylor pro-
vides for the establishment of a Federal
repository of information concerning
every corporation whose stock is Of

granted by the Government. but each
corporation offering stock for sale would
be obliged to file a financial statement
and plan OF operation. The officers
would be held liable for such informa-
tion.
1T Is completely within the power of
the Federal Government TO take this
STEP" said Mr.. Taylor. "It could not
be opened to the question of constitu-
tionality. 1t would not prevent the sale
Of any stock. But it would give pros
pective investors chance to look up
the company which was offering stock
for sale. If an investor goes into deal
with his eyes open it is his fault if he

Washington, ID. C.. Feb. 81.
The authority of the Federal Govern
ment may be invoked in the nationwide
campaign to prevent the sale of worth
less stocks and bonds and the fleeing
Of investors through bucket shop prac-
tice. A bill covering the subject is now
before the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce OF the House. 1t was
introduced by Representative Edward f.
Denison (Rep.. ND.
The bill makes 1t unlawful to offer for
sale by mail. telephone. telegraph or by
any other interstate agency of COM
munication any stock or security in any
State where the local licensing authori-
ties object. The Government would act
as a backstop to help each State adj
minister and enforce its blue sky law
regulating the sale of securities.
Representative Denison said to-day he
believed his bill would be reported favor
ably to the House this week.
Mr. Denisons bill is the result of sew
eral months OF study and cooperation by
bankers, officials of the Federal and
State governments and of advertising
club officials. 1t is one of food of blue
sky bills which began to deuge both
houses soon after the armistice, when
speculation was widespread.
Members of both houses are agitated

Boswell Met a winner.

To quote Mr.. Hill, however, Il would
seem that there really was a man once
who won in bucket shop speculation
but that was as far back as the days
of Boswell and DR.. Johnson. 1t ap-
pears the intrepid chronicler of John
sons life thought he had a system
whereby he could beat the bucket shop
at it's own game. He conflded as much
TO his hero. and against his advice
sailed forth. He met one who had had
experience. and said:
"I understand, sir, that you once
made a large sum of money in a
bucket shop?"
IL did" said the man. "I ran a shoe
string UP to $500"
"I don't quite catch your meaning
the shoestripg part" said Boswell
"I mean" said the man, that 1 ran
$40 up to $1,000"
"You are just the man have been
looking for" said Boswell. Tell me
how you did It,"
"It's not long story" said the
man. "At that time I was new in the

mailed to that customer the order SELL
ing him out not only at least ten
hours before the time limit for putting
up additional margin had expired, but
even before the customer so much as
had time to receive the notice that
additional margin was required.
The similarity btween this case and
that of Mrs. Wheaton is that both
larcenies apparently were committed
by waiting until after the exchanges
were closed before acting.
No better illustration Of the SINH
larity of the primary evils of yester-
day and to-day can be found perhaps
than to quote two notes of warning.
One of these signals of danger and
cries for remedial legislation was ut
tered last Monday morning by Joab
III. Banton, District Attorney of New
York county, as result of the recent
revelations of bucket shop operations
of to-day in New York.
The other utterance was made
twenty years ago when, as a member
of the Chicago Board of Trade, the
man who said it was fighting to drive
the bucketeers out of existence. The
two quotations are here presented un-
identified. 1t is highly improbable
that any person who does not happen
to remember Mr.. Banton's words will
be able to tell which applies to to-day
and which to twenty years ago. Here
is one of them:
1T is time that something was done
to check the growing evil Of gambling
on produce, cotton and stock exchange
quotations. A beginning has been
made. but the movement has not gone
far enough. These excrescences have
multiplied rapidly, and so dangerously
near do they come to being broadly
popular that the mercantile commu-
nifty owes 1t to itself to apply the knife
at once. Moreover, there is no form
of gambling more disastrous to the
player than bucket shop gambling. It's
cloak of semi-respectability and its
likeness in many of its outward fea-
lures to regular and reputable commits
sion houses makes 1t the most insidious
of temptations to the young specula-
tor and the aspirer after wealth."
