CASH REGISTER CASE
HEARING TOMORROW

The Federal Trade Commission will
hold a public hearing tomorrow on a
complaint alleging unfair trade prac-
tices by statesmen of the National Cash
Register Co. Of Dayton, Ohio. The
proceeding involves much the same
situation as that before the Federal
court at Cincinnati, where 80 statesmen
Of the company have been cited to
appear December Is to show cause
why they should not be adjudged in
contempt of court for alleged violation
of the injunction of 1916 restraining
them from certain practices held to be
unfair.
The court action was instituted by
the Department Of Justice, but the
action of the Federal Trade Commits
sion in issuing a complaint two
months ago directed in general against
the same alleged situation did not be-
come known until today, under a rule
adopted last Spring to withhold such
matters from publication pending the
filing of answers A modification of
that rule, however, permits the hold
ing of public hearing by the Board
of Review even if formal answer to
complaint has not been filed.
The methods complained Of are un-
derstood to be confined. as in the Gin
cinnati case, to certain acts OF the
statesmen on their own initiative, apart
from any orders of the company.
These are alleged to have been direct
ed particularly at the Remington Co.
and to have included inducing Gus
toners to break Remington register
contracts, interference with Reming-
ton statesmen, and the making OF mis-
leading statements concerning the
Remington register.

Joking Ad Brings
Crowd Asking Job
AS Animal Trainer
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November g.
There may be an abundance Of
lion-tamers and elephant trainers
out of work in this city, but none
will get a job with Herbert Fleish-
hacker, San Francisco banker and
park commissioner.
Mr.. Fleishhacker, who doesn't
own an elephant, or a lion, yester-
day interviewed some 100, or may
be 200, animal trainers who had re-
sponded to a newspaper advertise
ment which classed the banker as
head of an undermined zoo. He
turned them all down and it was
then revealed that the advertise
ment was a joke perpetrated by
Kenneth Kingsbury, president Of
the Standard Oil Co. of California,
and the vice president, J. d. Han
ma, in retaliation for Mr.. Fleish-
hackers recent gift to them Of two

department experts predict will be
popular commercially.

Money, in the parlance of the

large sums and at low interest rates.
Merchants are turning their stocks
over rapidly at fair prices and are
taking their discounts for quick pay
ments. The country'S crop conditions
are good. Building, according to the
statistical reports, never has been bet
ter. Conditions of unemployment have
shown such a betterment that even So
called seasonal" workers like woods
toilers and harvest hands seem to be
finding profitable employment in their
off seasons.
When these conditions exist, the box
offices of theaters automatically re-
cord increases in receipts. When that
condition Is general, as is the case this
year, we of the theater know that
prosperity exists throughout the Ma

are booked for long seasons and, best
of all, the producers are making ex-

been diSposesd of satisfactorily from
the administration viewpoint.
Upward of $3.50 100000 a year is
now taken out of tax receipts in order
to pay interest on the public debt.
This is regarded as too large to carry
in the budget, which is slightly less
than three and three-quarter billion
dollars. The public debt amounts to
about $4,000, 900 900, and has been re-
tired with great rapidity since 1918,
partly through the sale of war sup
plies and partly through the applica-
tion of the annual surplus from gross
receipts over expenses. In future
years the payments will not be as
large, because supplies left over from
the war and Government property gen
orally have been disposed of, so the
only opportunity to cut the interest
payment is by making as big a cut in
the principal every year as is possible
Coolidge Backs Mellon.
President Coolidge has stood square
ly behind Secretary Mellon in his in
ststence that every dollar available
should be used to cut down annual
interest charges. The argument was
advanced also that If business condi-
tions continue to improve tax receipts
would grow and the American people
would be given the benefit of reduc-
ton in tax rates through that process,
but II d surplus was attained for a
particular year the proceeds should
be used to retire the public debt.
Some effort will be made by mem
bers of Congress to attack this line of
reasoning, but the preponderance OF
sentiment now is in favor of a quick
reduction of the public debt, and a
critical decision of policy has been
taken. Administration leaders, at any
rate, are unit in support of the
policy, and have abandoned any idea
of urging a larger cut in taxes than
is contemplated by the House ways
and means committee.

President Coolidge, at a recent BAN
quet in New York, called attention to
the countrywide prosperity apparent
at this time, and declared it healthy
and natural outgrowth of the new
order of things which has resulted
from the after-war readjustments.
There is no better barometer of busi-
ness and individual financial con-
ditions than the theater box offices,
and these, I am glad to say, bear out
President Coolidge's statements to the
letter. New York always Is what is
termed "a good show town" because
of the enormous number of out-of
town visitors throughout the year. SO
we must turn to the other cities of
the country-the Industrial, financial
and agricultural centers-for our
proofs.
These, during the present theatrical
season. are displaying evidences of
prosperity which have been. lacking
sadly for several years past. Road
companies, even those of doubtful
merit, are reporting splendid business
everywhere. Los Angeles, Portland,
Seattle and San Francisco on the
West; Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington on
the East. all are showing about the
same percentage of increase over the
bad returns of last season and that of
1929.
The great industrial centers of the
Middle-Eastern and Middle Western
groups. of States. on which the pro
ducer must depend for his real profits
between the two coast groups-which
ordinarily are profitable-are holding
up nicely, with cities like Cleveland,
Detroit, Indianapolis, ST. Louis,

and Omaha revealing receipts a bit
over the general percentage of in

Advocates of prompt payment by
the American people of the public
debt have won out as against those
who favored larger reduction in taxes
and smaller installments on the war
debt.
For many weeks there has been
rising pressure from members of Con
gress to apply less and less of the
surplus to retire the public debt so
that it might conceivably mean re-
tirement in 62 years. The present
plan, started by the Democratic ad-
ministration and continued by two
succeeding Republican administra-
tions, contemplated payment in %
years. When it became apparent that
the United States was willing to give
foreign governments 62 years in which
to pay their war debts it was prompt
ly argued that the American people
should not be SO heavily taxed now,
but should give succeeding genera
tions some of the burden.
$500, 200, 900 Tax Cut Urged.
|. The question had to be decided con-
currently with the policies on the new
tax bill For if the amount that is
usually set aside annually to retire
the public debt were to be diminished,
it would mean that a larger sum
would be available on Nhich to base
tax reduction. Some had estimated
that as much as $500, 100000 might be
cut from the tax bill. The new meas
ure. as drafted by the House ways
and means committee. provides for
only $325 900 900 in cuts. This is some
what in excess of the amount which
Secretary Mellon said could be ap
piled to tax reduction. but the Naria-
ton is not large enough to cause con-
Germ.
The larger question of whether at
least 5000. .O00, 900 should be taken from
the annual installments on the public
debt and used for tax reduction has
