Judge Gary and Tax
Rates

I'm UDGE GARY told his fellow steel manu-
facturers that taxes must come down in
order that business may prosper.
While the judge was speaking, the Wall
Street Journal announced that stocks and
bonds had reached the highest prices since the
war boom.
So it is evident that business is enjoying
very real prosperity, whether the judge likes
the tax rates or not.
We think the judge is tackling this tax re-
duction proposition from the wrong end. Taxes
shrould be cut down to point where the re-
sultant revenue will meet the Government s
needs, without piling up surplus
If the Government had legitimate need
for more revenue than it now receives. taxes
III excess OF the present taxes would be iust-
fed. II the country can be administered on
less INCOME taxes must be cut
The Nations needs, and not the state of
Judge Gary's business, should govern the
making of tax laws. Though it is no secret
that some industrial leaders of the country
regard the Goyernment as an ad junct to their
private establishments, they seldom expose
their hands as completely as the United States
Steel chairman.
But then maybe he really had in mind the
huge undivided SURPRISES which certain firms
are carrying along until that day when taxes
come down. If so, it was unfortunate that bis
roundabout argument is so ruthlessly exposed
by the course of Wall Street prices.

The modern touch is that the
villain is not shot, but allowed to
go to other places where he can do
more dirty work. 1t is presented in
two scenes. The scenic idea is
modern-certain amount Of drapes

LAX HOSPITAL

BY GAYLORD NELSON

ANDY A. JACKSON. inmate
l. of the Eastern Hospital for
the Insane, died recently as
a result Of being scalded in a bath
tub. The coroner, after investiga-
ton. placed the blame on a care
less attendant.
The attendant was ordered to
give Jackson a bath Instead OF
personally supervising the bath
ing he turned the job over to an
other inmate. The latter, mentally
deranged and irresponsible, turned
on boiling hot water. Burns and
death ensued.
Hospital authorities immediately
dismissed the attendant for fla
grant violation of rules.
1t was a regrettable affair. Strict
compliance with the institutions
rules would have prevented the
tragedy-and for failure to comply
with the rules the attendant is to
blame. So possibly the hospital
authorities should not be con
demned for the occurrence.
But the employee was hired as
an experienced attendant. He said
so himself when applying for the
job couple of months ago. Hos
pital authorities took his word for
1t. They did not investigate him
or his recorder even know his
last place of employment.
A private business man wouldn't
hire a Janitor with so little investi-
cation.
The character OF attendants who
look after unfortunate wards of
the State is certainly equally i'm
portant. Such investigation by
Ihospital authorities before hiring
will suit the public better than in.

they are badly handicapped by the
lack of real comedy material.

fession. Some years ago Lynne Over
man and Vivian Martin exhibited
said underclothing and ''pajams" to
great profit in Chicago. So great
was the fame that / actually jour
neyed to Chicago to see said exhibit.
And l journeyed to English's to see
the opening performance Of the week
of Just Married" confident that
both B. V. DIS and the blue pajamas
would not only be present but actu-
ally filed. And so they were.
When I went to Chicago, the name
of Anne Nichols, one OF the authors
OF Just Married" was just a name.
Since "Abie's Irish Rose has landed
million or so into the lap Of Miss
Nichols, this married" comedy
takes on a new and more holy
significance.
The "souse" role in this comedy
can or can not be a gem. Lynne
Overman played 1t as a speciality,
sort of a vaudeville turn in nature.
Milton Byron plays it In different
stages OF intoxication. Oh, don't
misunderstood. Not that Milton is
actually "piffed." No. not that, but
he does certainly land coolies of
laughs. So much so that he gets
several curtains all by his lonesome
after the first act.
Edythe Elliott, the wearer of the
nifty blue pajamas, does not do the
baby cry stuff as often as Vivian
Martin pulled the eye fawcett, but
comes through with a comedy knock
out that proves she has a highly de-
veloped comedy sense. Have liked
her best in serious roles, but she
proves this week that in certain
comedy roles she can register with
remarkable ease.
And let me tell you that Idabelle
Arnold as the wife who talks and
talks and then spas the beans all
over again, proves her comedy
worth all over again. At the open.
ing performance, Robert St. Clair
at times showed a marked ten
dency to forget lines. but he certain
ly did land solid In number of his
comedy scenes. Tommy Evans lives
up to the suggestion that he can do
a whale of a lot when he has .
chance. AL G. Wilson and Mary
Hill have the sort of roles at1at they
do well.
Nearly forgot to tell you about
Martha Morton-she does pleasing
piece of work as the man-hunting
gal from Paris.
Just Married" answers its pur
pose-it makes people laugh while
in the theater and actually makes
them want to go to the theater.
