F., and the reputation of Lord Kinder sley, were equally in my hands, It was surely not possible that the two combined would not produce req sonable profit upon my outlay Of a thousand pounds. As l sat and smoked another idea occurred to me- and before I retired to rest, I wrote long letter of instructions to Mir Younghusband.
 remained at my office in Holborn on the following morning until l heard from Mir. Younghusband upon the telephone. As usual he was most formal, addressing me as though were one of his ordinary and re- spccted clients. It was obvious. how ever. that he was perturbed.

 "rhe stock has dropped trife, naturally" the lawyer replied, lowing to your operations. The broker, however, at whose office I now am, advises me to disregard that. He thinks that they will probably recover during tho day"
 Just so. When is settlement day?"

WHO IS TO BLAME FOR HIGH TAXES?

The responsibility for the rising cost of govern ment cannot be laid wholly upon Congress. Prodded and gcaded by organized minorities the Federal Gov ernment has been undertaking variety of duties which, a few generations ago, commonly con sidered to pertain to the States the municipali- ties, to the citizen himself old bureaus and de- garments have expanded in a marvellous fash ion, and to satisfy the demands of these minorities bureaus and committees have been created Each departure brought with it a set of offices new set of employees, and new set of bills which the public has been obliged to pay For while may sometimes seem possible to get something from the Government for nothing, in the end the Government always presents bill As Bourke Cochran said in his last speech, The Government has nothing of it's own that it give. What it offers, it must take from us There is magic from which these huge appropriations flow The only source from which appropriations be taken is the pocket of the citizen.
 Listening to the proponents of the Federal educa- tton bill for instance, gentlemen who ask "ony 00,0O0,000 yearly to begin with one might think that the Federal Government has number of private gold mines, that 1t raise money simply by printing it. The soon learn that the Govern ment has no money except what 1t takes from us the sooner will tho mnorites continually attacking the Federal Treasury be smitten root and branch
 Whatever Washington offers, it must take from us."

Tax on Betting.
1 lNerw York Tribune ]


 In his budget speech the British Chancellor of the EXchequer declared that betting tax presented
 many attractions He ready to propose it because it had not been sufficiently studied But select committee of the House has been appointed to consider the question of imposing tax bet ting, and to report whether such duty is desirable and practicable" There nineteen members of the committed, including four Socialists Public hearn gs are to be held, and it is the desire of the Govern ment that the work may be got through as rapidly as possible so that report may be laid before Par liament during the present session.
 That a large revenue could be raised by tax on betting in England denies It is truly national custom. It may go against certain con captions of public morals, and certainly in some of US festations is in violation the gaming acts but it would take something more powerful than even heavy tax to eradicate it. Since the subject came up clergyman has said that he could not consider It a sin for workingman to put shilling on a horse occasionally To this Punch soberly rejoins that 1t has known many horses whom it would be on to put as much sixpence. But whether the practice bs thought vicious not is so ingrained ana Widespread and involves such enormous sums of money that it is not strange If taxgatherers feel an irresistible impulse to levy upon it.
