OKLAHOMA SCHOOL FIRE

CHARLESTON, Jan. 3.-The State
Fire Marshal department is hopeful
that the lesson of the Hobart, Okla
homa, school fire, where more than
thirty children and adults attending a
Christmas tree entertainment lost
their lives, will be duly impressed on
school authorities and Parent-Teach-
er associations in West Virginia.
An inspection made by the depart
ment about year ago in one Of the
leading cities of the state disclosed
that school buildings there invited the
same sort of disaster as that occur
ed in Oklahoma. When the Christmas
tree at Hobart burst into flames the
single exit at the rear and to the win
panic stricken people sprang for the
dows, beating out the panes, only to
find the openings covered by heavy
wire netting.

DINNER BUCKETS AND TAX
EXEMPTS

Congress should pass the constitu-
tional amendment to stop the issu-
ance Of tax-exempt bonds, and get it
before the state legislatures for ear
ly adoption.
These bonds have tendency to in
crease public expenditures, by max
ing money too easy to borrow. But
their great harm is in establishing a
higher rate of interest for money
needed in all lines of business and
farming
For the man with big income, the
tax-free bond is worth more than
taxed industrials. Therefore, he puts
his money into untaxed public securi-
ties, and his return on these as com
pared with return on industrials fair
ly establishes the value of all invest
ment. But for the courage of the
small investor, who puts his money
into operating industries, and then
pays all the tax bills to boot, pro-
ductive enterprise would be severe
~ crippled because of the withdraw
al of big money from business.
Tax-exemptions force up the rate
of interest for every other form Of
investment, public and private, and
SO make industry carry heavy hand
leap.
Tax-exempt securities destroy in
terest in worthy investments which
build up payrolls and keep the dinner
bucket brigade going.

TALK TO YOUR LEGISLATORS

Many legislators will need no more
than the recent election day sugges-
ton that the country wants no hair
raising, throat-cuting legislation.
The tremendous rebuke of radicalism
has changed many legislative am
bition over night.
But nowhere would it be out of
place for business organizations,
Boards of Trade, oranges and individ-
uals to call their legislators into fri
endly counsel. Most legislators sin
cerely want to serve thier people; it
is usually where the people refuse
to take an interest in public affairs

A BUSINESS GETTER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-(Special
correspondence More than forty Of
fees in thirty-four different countries
now represent the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce of the De-
partment Of Commerce, giving the
Bureau economic interpreters and
trade scouts in nearly every impor-
tant market of the world. This Bur
eau is operating on an annual expen-
diture of not quite 100000 and is
returning to the American business
public dollars and cents accomplish
ments to the tune of over S500,000,
600 a year, thus making taxes pay
dividends" That is quite large in
terest on the capital investment, in
the benefits of which practically
every American, directly or indirect
~, has a share.
Since July 1, 1924, new offices have
been opened in Hamburg, Stockholm,
Helsingfors, Ottawa. San Juan, Mon
tevideo, Bombay and Canton. From
the beginning Of the Bureau in 1912,
when it was created by Act Of Con-
gross, until the outbreak Of the World
War, it's direct investigation work
in foreign fields was limited from the
despatching abroad of eleven spec
ial agents for specific Investigations
Of markets for American commodi-
ties to the assignment of Bureau
commercial agents to ten of the
leading embassies and legations of
the United States located at London,
Berlin, Paris st. Petersburg, Buenos
Aires, Picking, Rio de Janeiro, Lima,
Santiago, and Melbourne Since 1921
the development has been gradual
until it has reached its present grow
tn, which is not yet its peak Of per-
lection nor it's limit of scope Other
offices will be established in time as
the needs of commerce and appropri-
ations permit.
It is interesting in this connection
to note the increasing appreciation of
the bureaus work as reflected by the
number of trade inquiries received.
In 1921 the daily calls on the Bur-
eau's force at home and abroad from
American business Appropriated 700
in number. Today they run about
5000 daily. The highest number re-
lated to possibilities in Western Euro
pean markets, and second came Latin
American markets, which are receiv-
ing greater attention from our ex-
porters and imports every day. The
Far East shows up third on the list.
A group of experts in Washington
directs the work of the foreign SER
vice staff, all men of experience in
their respective lines. The Depart
ment is also made the distributing a.
gent for consular reports on trade.
There is a free Interchange of in
formation between all agents of the
Government in foreign lands, and
there are bi-monthly conferences, to
be attended by all foreign service Of
ficers and every effort is made to ELI
Intimate needless duplication of work
During the past three years world
wide cable service, which reports up
on every important area at least once
month, has been organized. From
July /, 1922, to April 10, 1924, the De-
partment received from abroad about
l40O special reports on agricultural
products and conditions, 600 Of them
being received during the last year.
The service pays something like
$4,000 per cent on the taxpayers in
yestment.
