The Scramble for ax-Exem ption.

The agitation which is developing
all over the country TO amend our pres
ent laws SO as to prevent the further
issuance of tax-exempt bonds is caus-
ing increased demand for those issues.
Investors are swapping up all that
can be had in the hope Of getting as
much of their money as possible into
securities from which the income de-
rived is exempted from taxation.
This merely emphasizes the evil ef-
feet of having some $4,000, 900 900 Of
this class of securities outstanding
which have absorbed money on the in
come from which taxes would other
wise be paid.
1t is only a question of time when
remedial legislation must be passed
for with tax-exempt issues increasing
at the present rate (some $4,000, ,OOO,-
900 for 1929, in 10 years time our
public debt would be increased in an
amount equal to that caused by the
world war.
1t is change our laws or bankrupt

DRAMATIC STRUGGLE FOR
AMERICAN FREEDOM
SEEN IN CARDIGAN"

Cardigan" produced by Messmore
Kendall, from the famous novel by
Robert w. Chambers, is the first
American historical production ever
screened 1t tells the romatic story
of a youth and maid drawn by chance
into the dramatic struggle for Ameri-
can Independence.
The cast is headed by William Col
lier, Jr., son of the famed dramatic
actor. Others are Betty Carpenter,
Thomas Cummings, William Pike,
Cha rles E. Graham, Madeleine Lubet-
ty, Hatty Delaro, Louis Dean, Colin
Campbell, Jere Austin, Frank r. Mont
gomery, Eleanor Griffith, Dick Lee,
Jack Johnston, Florence Short, and
many others. There are 1000 in the
cost, ard the scenes depict the high
spots in the American Revolution such
as the Battle Of Lexington, the Battle
of Concord and the complete rout Of
the Red Coats at Concord.
All the famous character, who made
Revolutionary history, are shown in
their simple glory. There is John
Hancock, the man who signed the
Declaration of Independence with such
a large signature that kink George
III could see it without his glasses;
there is Patrick Henry whose Give
me liberty or give me death" speech
fired the red blooded patriots to world
famed deeds; and also the historic
character of Paul Revere, who rode
the British Blockade and then sounded
the alarm that aroused the farmers to
action along the countryside. Then we
also have the English Williams, traitors
interruptions representatives of the
English tyrant
CARDIGAN" although an histori-
cal motion picture has more Of the
real drama in it than almozt any other
motion picture. 1t is as big as the
biggest picture yet produced and con-
tains heart throbs enough to stir an
audience to ar unknown pitch. II
combines the pathos of "Over the Hill"
the splendor of Orphans of the
Storm" the magnitude of "Foolish
Wives" and the colossal magniture of
"The Birth of a Nation" all great pic
lures, and all American made.
Cardigan" is real education. As
a drama it is perfect. AS 2 picture
it is THE GREAT AMERICAN PIC
one which will live forever. 1t
contains the element which constitute
the freedom of our country and instills
good citizenship and patriotism such
as no other method could
Lamar people will have the oppor-
tunity to see this great drama on the
screen on Tuesday, January 80, un-
der the auspices Of the American
Legion at the Victory Theatre.

4 Year of Recovery.

1.-The year just closed has made
economic history" says Armour's Mag
azine. In the future it will be known
as the year during which industry re-
covered from the depth of the depres-
sion into which it had fallen as the
result of the waste of war" 1t will
also be known as the first full year
of the Harding administration, while
the "waste of war" and "cost plus"
may be chalked up against the ac-
count of the Democratic administra-
tion which preceded it.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Never Again."


Says the editor of the London OBJ
server: I'VE can renounce most of
our right to the repayment by France
and other Allies of the huge sums we
lent them during the war. We can
keep that burden on our own hard
pressed taxpayers, knowing that no
foreign nation will fully understand
what it means and that we shall get
no gratitude. Never again in case of
future wars will Britain finance Con-
tinental peoples. Never again. They
must do for themselves what we have
done, and raise their own funds after
our example by taxing themselves to
the bone"
Great Britain has had bitter les
son. If she renounces, it will be be-
cause she has lost all hope of ever
being paid. Remuneration will be a
powerful factor in keeping her out of
Continental politics, except TO the ex-
tent that participation may be neces-
sary for her own safety.
The United States has not renounc-
ed, nor does it intend to do so. So
far as Britain is concerned there is no
disposition on the part of her govern
ing authorities TO request us to do SO
and England is manfully going to work
to liquidate the debt to US. 1t is not
for US to dictate to Great Britain what
disposition she shall make of the al
lied debt to her. Certain it is that if
Continental Europe repudiates its debt
to the United States, not another cent
will be forthcoming from this country
to finance future wars in that quarter
of the globe. If Great Britain should
be the only nation to make good her
debt TO us she will have retained
something which in the future will
doubtless be far more valuable than
her claims on Europe and that is the
esteem, confidence, and respect Of the
United States, while Continental Eu-
rope will be hereafter distrusted and
held in contempt. The confidence and
cooperation of the United States is
highly priced by Great Britain, and
when they have not heretofore been
freely accorded by US the fault has
not been ours. And in addition to an
approchement with the United States
growing out Of national honor and its
solicitude for repayment, Great Brit
ain can count as corporeal gain some
million square miles of additional ter
ritory as the spoils of war, which
eventually will yield more than the AL
lied debt amounts to.
Finally, it may be said that if Con-
tinental Europe can not secure loans
from either Great Britain or the Unit
ed States to prosecute future wars, the
chances are that such wars will be less
prevalent A prize fight can not be
staged today without a large purse,
and war is the most expensive thing
in which nations can engage. Whether
or not we ever collect our debts from
Continental Europe land it is not ad-
mitted that they will not be paid,
they should for long. long period be
effective in discouraging a repetition
of the dementia of 1914-1S, and that
is worth something to humanity.

Minority Demand Rights.

Henry Ford is engaged in another
characteristic gesture to give the peo-
pie an impression that he is filled with
philanthropy. He proposes to share
the profits of his railroad with the en-
ployees of the road. He controls the
stock and can do as he pleases, but the
minority stockholders are making a
vigorous protest. They say that Ford
and his associates can claim to be en-
ployees and share in the profits, and
his new scheme will merely have the
effect of defying profits to those stock
holders whose holdings he has been
unable to acquire. The matter has
been presented to the Interstate Com
merce Commission with view to re-
straining the tactics of Mr.. Ford.

BY w. HI. CLAGETT.

Dear Folks:
Rummagin' through The Star the
other night my eyes lit on wee
scrap of news which for a moment
set my old heart a-futter. for it
brought back sweet memories of the
happy days of yore, The bit, it wasn't
much more, was clipped from the Moo
York Herald and told of the scrappin'
of the famous locomotive 999. the
Moo York Centrals great queen of
the rails, whose unmatchable record
of 112 miles an hour. made between
Moo York and Buffalo. still stands to
this day.
There was a glamour about s99
which even the swiftest airplane can
not dim." the article said. 1T made
the Empire State Express symbol
for speed. Men who were boys in
the 90's must feel a slight thrill at
the sight of the old magic numbers.
How many thousands watched for
999 coming up the valley Of the Hud-
son or driving west across the

Glamour About Flyer.
I'll say there was a glamour about
the great iron flyer: that at least one
kid Of them same 90's feels more than
Il thrill at the sight of the magic

sands and thousands watch her fly up
the valley and shoot across the state,
but millions upon millions nearly
went into Mysteries every time her
proud nose turned the curve and
came head-on into the cheerin' audi
ences of every theayter in the land
where motion pictures were featured
for believe it or not, the reproduction
of the Empire State Express goin' at
full speed on the screen was one of
the first rully successful films run off
in the world, The dispatch didn't
mention that, but it was true, never
theless!
