THE LATEST EXAMPLE

Recent published statements show
that activity in amateur radio work
and broadcasting in 81 United States
is greater than in any other nation
in the world. Why shouldn't it be?
Under the stimulating hand of
private initiative and enterprise this
country has the greatest telephone
system, the most widespread use of
electricity and gas in the house, in
the factory and on the farm, the
greatest transportation system, both
electric and steam, and why should
it not lead in radio, the, latest great
convenience for mankind?
Give radio a. chance for develop
ment unrestricted by. useless or I'M
necessary regulation and it will make
United States dominant in future air
communication

Writing on Pinhead
No Longer Novelty

wandering about town one might
get the idea that America had de-
Veioped a new industry-that of en-
craving the Lords prayer on pinheads.
Inc impression is strengthened if one
takes to visiting the regions in which
sldeShows flourish, near town or along
the rustic routes of the travelling
shows.
Considering that the man who en-
graVed the prayer on pin a few
years ago was reported to have gone
Dilhd and insane as a result of his
tlree years of application, one might
almost pause to ask if all this pin en-
CRAVING were not dangerous. There
Is no fear, however: the engraved min
business has been placed on safe
ana sane basis, remarks the New York
Times.
The original pin was all that has
Deen said for it. On a disk forty
seven one-thousandths of an inch in di
ameter there were engraved 60 words
with 254 letters, and nearly 1000 lines
had to be cut in doing it. The original
might conceivably have got lost in a
sewing basket and gone the way of
all pms. But die was made of if
no inconsiderable job in itself-and
the market is now supplied from the
die.

The "One-Hoss" Shay

"My grandfather and grandmother
once hired an antiQuated four-wheeIer,
driven by man even older than the
cab, whose horse was a greater age
than all of them combined to pay a
Sunday afternoon call in a London
square nearby. On its funereal way
from house TO house, the bottom fell
out of the cab, and as the aged man
on the box was too deaf to hear the
by no means unviolent expostulation
Of the hot-tempered old gentleman and
the cries of his small and timid spouse,
there was nothing for them to do but
to run along inside. The laughter of
those who gazed with an abandonment
of joy at this most unusual sight must
have done much to break the gloom of
that early Victorian Sabbath. Prom

SHELLS, PHEAsANTs AND DUCKS

1t seems that many of the mighty
hunters this season have been trying
to Guido each other in the number
of shells they can shoot, not in the
number of birds they get. So it may
truthfully be said that this season
was a banging success.
1t seemed for awhile this summer
as if there, We're not going" to be
many pheasants this fall, but they
must have been hiding out as every
body reports, lots of birds but no
luck They say the pheasants are
getting so wise now, the doughty
hunter" returns with empty bag and
shell box. ~;
Ducks were a good deal easier to
get this year than pheasants. Nearly
every hunter got some of them,
either wild or tame. There were
plenty of ducks the first part of the
season but they seem to be migrating
early as there are no large flocks and
very few singles. Geese have been
very scarce this year, a few people
claim to have shot some but all they
can show are the feathers
Deer were very plentiful last sea-
son as was shown by, the short time
t took to get them. Anybody who
has little spare time can get deer
low, because good roads lead right
nto the deer country. A few elk
lave also been bagged this year

THE INDIRECT TAX EVIL

In discussing burdensome features
of insurance taxation which affect
every policy holder, James L. Mad
den, manager of the Insurance De-
partment of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, says:
1.-THE insurance taxation situation
in the United States is in a very
chaotic and unscientific condition.
Out of every dollar paid by policy
holders for indirect special insurance
taxes in 1922, 4.79 per cent was
spent for insurance supervisory SER
vice by the state while the rest was
used for state functions such as road
building, police protection, admin
istrative salaries, office equipment
and the many other manifold ex-
penses of government, none of which
appears to be so closely linked with
insurance as to warrant a special tax
on policy holders"
In other words, state insurance
department may collect double, treble
or ten times as much taxes from in
surance companies as needed to
maintain the insurance department.
The surplus is turned over for other
state purposes.
A state banking department. might
Just as well collect large excess
from banks over what is
needed to maintain the department
md turn the balance into the general |
state fund.
Continuing, Mr. Madden said: 81
relieve one safeguard toward fair
axation treatment may be found in
irect taxes. If the consumers know
additional imposts are to be made
pom them, they will be apt to take
n interest in keeping taxes low.
hose in charge of taxation will also
e more careful before authorizing
lcreases
cat present policy holders do not
know they are paying in
rect taxes of many kinds in their :,
surance premiums Until public
:inion is sufficiently informed it
nnot be aroused. At present as :,
r as indirect taxes are concerned .

THE WALL STREET
SCARE" Exploded

Big capital has been fairly clamp
ed into tax-exempt public securities,
to escape industrial taxes. Produc-
tive industry found it hard to finance
itself, until it took up the small-in-
weston field.
Small investors in the past five
years have remade the American at
titude towards capital by showing
that it is simply the saving of their
own labor of yesterday invested in
new undertakings.
Some profess to be frightened be-
cause "Wall Street" stocks advanced
Immediately after the election. In
asmuch as Wall Street is populated
by 100000 sober Americans who
have bought the nations industrial
securities and are running the ma
tons business, the advance will be
benefit to many.
If these securities were to decline.
the small investor would suffer while
the holder of tax-exempt securities,
with a guaranteed strangle-hold on
the nations revenues, would stand
higher than working industrials.
There is small virtue in the tax
exempt securities plan. 1t does not
fairly distribute the obligations of
citizenship, and It should be abolish
ed,
