TAX SALES FAIL
TO CHECK LISTS
STEADY ADVANCE
Business Developments Over
Weekend Are of Con-
Structive Nature,
The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, Dec. s1.-Cash trans
actions in large volume were the
principal feature Of the early dealings
in the stock market today. These
sales represented the belate6 estab-
nshment of losses against 1923 taxes
and the fact that the market was
generally strong in the face of this
Liquidation demonstrated It's splendid
absorptive powers. The business news
over the weekend was constructive
with further advances in crude prices
attracting the most attention.
First Hour
Stocks gathered strength around
II a. m Producers and Refners and
Atlantic Refining featured the oils
while the rails were buoyant under
leadership Of Southern Railway, which
sold at q 1928 high Of 3SB. Chesa-
peake & Ohio was featured in the
standard carrier group while Chicago
& Northwestern made the best show
ing in the rebound from the tax sell
ing which the Northwestern issues ex-
per1enced.
Second Hour
Cash sales to establish tax losses
again became a depressing influence
in the late morning. But several
groups gave indications OF having
pretty well recovered from the effects
Of transactions Of this character.
This was especially true OF the ship
ping shares which rallied under the
leadership OF Marine preferred and
some OF the low-priced fertilizers in
which class American Agricultural
Chemical was the principal feature.
Shares Of the fertilizer companies are
widely distributed.

DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL

The difficulties of conducting dem
ocratic governments and the perials
they are facing in these days, con-
stituted the theme Of a speach made
by Former Premier Lloyd George of
England during his visit to this coun.
try.
1t has been hoped that democratic
governments are the institution by
which the people everywhere will be
given prosperity and happiness. But
as Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out,
four great countries, Russia, Italy,
Spain, and Germany, have for the
moment given up such governments
Does this mean that the great move
ment for democracy which has seem
ed about to bring about a new era
of popular welfare, is proving a
failure?
In Italy, for instance, the people
seem completely disillusionized. They
cheerfully accept a dictator who
promises them more successful and
helpful government than any demo-
cracy can give.
In this country some of our radi-
Gals are so Disguised with political
methods and politicians, that they
are calling for some new system of
government. But they overlook the
truth that if there are faults in
democracy, it is because the people
lack the sense and experience to
elect wise representatives, and that
any system dependent on popular
wisdom will accomplish the same or
worse results.
The democratic governments have
been overthrown across the water
because those countries are exhaust
ed by war. When dictators came
along and made glowing promises
and usually impossible promises, the
democracy will gain the upper hand
to oppose their pretensions. In time
people were too tired and depressed
again. The American people will
cling resolutely to it, because they
know it has given them good govern
ment. But to get thoroughly bene-
fetal results, they must pay closer
attention their duties as citizens.
