ADVOCATING TAX REVISION

The American Bankers Association
;s advocating revision of the income
tax law for the avowed purpose of pre-
venting capital from being diverted into
tax-exempt investments. A commenta-
tor SAYS that "such securities, 1or the
most part. are issued for non-productlVe
purposes. .,,
fallacies presented anew. A person Oh
average intelligence and experience
might cite, without straining his brain'
several reasons against any wealth from
taxation. And of course it is ever I'M
desirable that wealth be used for non
productive purposes. But anyone would
be safe in offering a prize for an eX-
ample of truly tax-exempt investment
with the exception of government bonds
Cocal as we'll as NATIONALLY, or for proof
of the assertion that tax-exempt secur-
tiles are. for the most part, issued Tor
non-productive purposes. -.
There are many securities which, as
such. are exempt from taxation. But
how about the money such securities
represent? Much of it goes into enter
prises the proceeds of which are surely
taxed. What the investor in such Sc
curities evades is double taxation; but
he has to pay even for that evasion, as
his return is comparatively low.
Are government bonds (meanlne
county, state and municipal as well as
nationar issued for non-productive pur-

the money is actually wasted; not I'M
less the projects of the federal govern
ment are foolish; not unless roads,
bridges, school houses, causeways, sea-
walls, dykes and other public works

) the face? Why exaggerate the evils Of
I exempting securities from direct taxa

Poets Corner
FIFTY.EIGHT YEARS.


Fifty-eight years, since Lees poor
tattered band,
Crushed by Overwhelming odds, laio
down it's arms
And turned to gaze on a sore wound
ed land,
Crushed, desolate, quivering with
new alarms.
Oh what a land! Where peaceful
homes once stood
Were hastily made graves and stains
of blood.
Where waving fields had stretched be-
fore the eye,
A barren waste reached out to meet
the sky.
And what task was theirs, these
dauntless men;
No weeping over graves, no vain
regret;
They must b: d up their bleeding
South again,
And problems solve which seldom
man has met.
But men who'd followed Lee day after
day
Could never want for courage in
the fray;
Men who had stood with Jackson at
Bull Run
Knew not to falter in a task
begun.
Fifty-eight years: again do peaceful
homes
Dot waving fields heavy with gold
en- grain,
Our busy cities lift their many domes,
And of the wreck, only these graves
remain.
Our heroes graves, flower-strewn
and bathed with tears,
Reminder of those blood-stained
shadowy years.
Gods strength was lent to them, who,
dauntless, bold.
Raised this New South from ruins
of the>old.

crude and refined, were not reflected III
motor cars. It is true that every maker
of automobiles, reduced prices materially
from the high prices of war days. But
these cuts were insignificant as compared
with some industries and in fact were
not felt at sill because the volume of III
creased business more than offset them.
Today the motor car industry repre-
scnts an output of 3,400,000 passenger
cars, valued at more than $3.50, OoO,O 900
and 100000 trucks, etc, valued at $500
100000. This is total output of 3,SOO,oO0
motor vehicles worth at present market
values more than S3,0O0,0O0,000.
The National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce values the average motor ear
throughout the country at $3.50. and the
average truck at $500. With one of
these motor vehicles for every eight peo-
pic in the country, it is beyond dispute
to say that we make going somewhere
our chief occupation.
Dependent upon the motor industry
in America is the petroleum industry
which would be hard hit were motor
cars eliminated. This industry too, is
a large factor in rapid transportation
and has speeded up business to the ex-
tent of billions OF dollars.
Manufacturers have been considering
for some months, the "saturation point
in the automobile market. Apparently
it is not in sight because the 1923 out
put bids fair to exceed all other outputs
by substantial figures and some motor
vehicles are being sold faster than the
factory can turn them out. There is
one motor vehicle in particular that is
said to be sold six months in advance,
so that there is no possibility of slack
ening in manufacture in that particular
plant before next spring.
That the motor car has an important
bearing on the economic life of the coun-
try is conceded 1t is costing many mil
lions of dollars to own and operate these
motor cars. But having once learned
to travel rapidly and at will, the Ameri-
can public continues to demand motor
cars in ever increasing numbers.
The total number of motor cars in
operation in the United States, June l.
1923 was somewhere between 13,OOO,OOO
and 14,0C0,000. In some localities where
conditions are particularly favorable,
the ratio is one motor vehicle for every
three people. rich and poor, men, wo-
men and children. 1t is the greatest
industry the world has ever produced.

Whit?
The Non-Smokers' Protective
League lost considerable ground dur
ing the war. All of its work was
rudely interrupted. And it has hard
ly recovered yet from the setback.
But we are informed that anti-tobac-
co sentiment is being stirred up
again. Three thousand members are
enrolled in the league. and "the guns
of reform that leveled the wet ram
part of the country are soon to be
trained upon tobacco"
That sounds om;nous to tobacco
users. DIR. Charles G. Pease, presl-
dent of the anti-tobacco outfit, be-
lieves there will be national revulsion
against tobacco as soon as it is known
that the non-smokers' league has un-
furled it's standards. 1.-The prohibi-
ton of tobacco will come suddenly"

There was no other companionshi2
for either of them; for Morton was
an odd, mousy, little man who left
the hospital but rarely even when off
duty.
He had accepted the superintend-
cnt's diagnosis of KeIsey's condition
implicitly; but since Kelsey's medical
personality Eas congenial. he was will
ing to ignore any other phases he
might be harboring.
But on this especial evening, Kelsey
was seeking Morton's company for
something more than mere sociability.
That morning the girl who had so az
tracted his interest had managed to
hold another brief conversation with
him, and in it had asked him a ques-
ton OH which she seemed to lay con-
siderable stress. Unable to answer 1t
himself. he had promised to secure the
information she wanted; and he
planned to CLEAN it from Morton, if
he could only succeed in weaving the
little man from his abstract theories
and speculations long enough to in
dulge in a morsel of gossip.
In the two or three days following

of the old beech trees. Kelsey had been
careful not TO approach the girl again.

OUR CHIEF INDUSTRY

4 Going somewhere is our chief indus
try. We are riding more than any peo
pie on earth or in all history. That this
is true is proven conclusively by the fact
that there is one motor vehicle for every
eight men, women and children in the
United States.
Twenty-Five years ago, the first motor
propelled cars were Just coming into
use. In ten years they had begun to
replace horses. Today the manufacture
and use of the motor cars is the great
est single industry in the United States.
This position of eminence however has
been attained only this year. In 1921
when the United States made an indus
trial survey the motor car was about
third. In that year the packing industry
led with assets Of $2,200000,000. Mex
came petroleum with S1,727O 600 anC
then motor cars with S1,666.0O0,O0O. Blu

CHAPTER XII

DIR. Bristow was sitting at his desk
in the outer office of his suite going
over a pile of letters.
The clock on the mantlepiece had
just struck 8, and Bristow's brows
puckered as he surveyed the accum-
mutation of mail yet to be considered.
He had sat down to it Immediately
after dinner and was still not half
through.
AS he picked up the next envelope
and drew out its enclosure, there
came tap on the door. Before he
could respond, this was pushed open
and Anita ,Copley entered.
"Ah, Anitaw He leaned back in his
chair. Strictly on time, and I've
scarcely begun. Vile nuisance. this
sort of thing. No more of it for me
tonight anyway. Well" he thrust
the pile of letters away from him
and turned toward her, show is the
little sister today?"
Just the same" She helped her
self to cigarette, lighted it, and
sank far down in an easy chair,
stretching her feet out before her.
I've put her to bed and locked the
door on her; she won't stir. She
doesn't even get IN in the morning
until l tell her TO. She seems slower,
stupider every day. Her writing, too,
is awful-more incoherent."
He nodded. "She's strong physical
ly. though. BY the way. has she been
hanging around Kelsey any more? /

him the other day
"She's forgotten him." Anita was
positive. Notices him no more than
she does any one else
That's all right them" Bristow
dropped the subject; his mind had
turned in another direction. Speak
ing of Kelsey, though, I think l can
use him."
He picked out a letter from among
those he had read, and tossed it across
the desk To- her. 1t was request

But Kelsey wouldn't take the job.
Anita cried impatiently. He wouldn't

"Of course he hates me-" Bristow
returned equally, "and he'd die before
he'd do me favor. But it's bound 20
strike him that the position would

serve to corroborate his story. He'd

He jumped to his feet and leyeled
his glasses on the flivver's whirling
wheels. = A little thrill of hope woke
in him. His eyes had not been mis-
taken. The three old tires had a
smooth thread; that of the fourth was
corrugated. Perhaps-perhaps it
might be possible to follow that spoor
on the oily roadway.
He bent another look through the
glasses at the back of the receding
car to take the numbo of its license
board. 1t was 2,155,633.
"You never can tell" He screwed
up his lips. Chances are that it's
false number but they mightn't have
forgotten to shift. Anyhow, that
and the tire tracks are the only clues
I've got, and I'll take 'em for what
they're worth"
SO. pushing the cripped motorcycle
beside him, he hurried on in the fliv-
ver's wake.

To seek this shore;
They left behind the coward slave

With hearts unbent. high, steady, brave,

Such tolls as meaner souls had quelled:
But souls like taesc, such tolls impelled

And fearless stemmed the invading flood,
And wrote our dearest rights in blood.
And moved in ranks the hireling brood.

THE OLD ORDER

A Mexican theatrical company was
refused permission to land at a Vene-
zuelan port. Consequently, the Mexican
government suspended official recogai-
ton of the Venezuelan minister at Mex
lico City, and ordered its own minister
in Venezuela to close III Mexican conI
sular offices in that country. 50
The foregoing is the substance of a
semi-official report from Mexico City.
Irrespective of whether the story IS
wholly true, the action described exem-
plifies very old method of procedure
which the world, with all its Wanted
enlightenment, has not yet outgrown.
When nations have difference, or
some unpleasantness arises between
them, they are apt TO. act like mex
perienced children, or like quick-tcnl-
pered adults. In either case the results
are bad enough.
Two small boys have a misunder-
standing in a game of marbles. One OF
them takes his own marbles out of the
ring and kicks out those of his playmate.
Perhaps the Misunderstanding, to begin
with. wasn't serious; but it is made so
by the hasty action OF the first boy
the other can't abide the indignity of
having his marbles kicked around. IT
the boys then engage in fisticuff, the
fight is not over the original misunder-
standing, hut over the subsequent insult.
Adults often fail out by a similar
process. Friend Wife drops an iron on
her toe. Friend husband exclairns.
Now what did you do that for!' 1t
isn't a question: its an accusation. And
of course Friend Wife is in no mood
even for questions, much less for accu-
sations. Many divorce has originated
in just such incidents.
individuals say the obvious TO each
other at unfavorable moments; one re-
mark provokes another in kind, or worse
and soon the best of friends are har-
boring violent grudges.
Nations, protesting adeptness in the
art of diplomacy, practice trt-ior-ta'
methods in their relations at the Slight
est provocation; one thing leads on tc
another, until, eventually, great armies
may take the field against each other
wreaking damage that cannot be re-
paired and taking lives that can never
be recalled.
The recall of diplomatic" representa-
} tives is one of the oldest methods o
aggravating an international misunder
standing; it is form of retaliation. Thu
act that provoked such a step may no
. have been intended as an insult; bu
5 even if it was 50 designed, either ma
L iiciously or with real or fancied cause
: the handing of passports to diplomat
t representative by the nation which take
Y this method Of expressing its feelings !
It likely to cut off whatever opportunit,
d there might have been for an anicabl
It settlement. And if no Insult had bee
: intended by the act which provoked tn
c severing of diplomatic relations, sue
h retaliation for a fancied injury is likel
