The World and All
By Charles P. Driscoll

How does one speak to or Of a lady who signs
merely her first and last names? Well, she sigma Flo
Sampson, and writes me from Winona, Minnesota, to
agree and disagree. I think I shall call her Miss, since
no Mrs. ever has rebuked me for calling her Miss,
while several Misses have unaccountably upbraided
me referring to them as Mrs. This time I'll play safe.
Miss Sampson disagrees about the moon. ! said
recently that the moon, so far IS l can learn, has
nothing whatever 70 do with the state Of craps, grow
ing things and other physical matters upon earth.
Miss Sampson assures me that she has made a close
study Of the influence exercised by the moon and
planets. She goes on 70 describe the effect the planets
have upon human life and psychology, according to
her belief.
/ regret that Miss Sampson, in common with so
many writer's on these subjects, offers no proof what
ever. She adduces no evidence. She merely says that
she has studied these things and knows so and 50. She
cites no instances Of chemical changes or physical
growth that can be traced, demonstrably, to the in
fluence Of the moon or of the planets.
SO / remain unconvinced.
However, I am open to conviction. / shall not be-
lieve that corn planted in the time OF full moon or
new moon grows better, because of the moons in
fluence, merely because somebody tells me SO. But,
on the other hand, / shall not ~disbelieve if somebody
proves or demonstrates that the moon influences the
growth Of vegetation. l think it highly improbable
that any such influence is exercised.
As to the influence Of the moon upon the psychic
life Of men, / know that there is q certain demonstra-
BILE influence there. ] know that moonlight, falling
caressingly upon a quiet country landscape, on a bslmy
spring night, can work magic in the souls Of two young
persons Of opposite sex, if the two are more or less
isolated from the rest Of the human race. Well, yes,
il can work the magic, in many cases, if the isolation
is not physical, but merely spiritual. There may be
other persons in the car, or on the hsyrack, and the
moon may make them practically invisible to the two,
or even non-existent.
This kind Of magical influence Of the moon ] ad-
nit, approve, condone and celebrate. But then. I have
actually seen It demonstrated. The alleged influence
of the moon upon crops and the influence Of the stars
upon human destiny are matters i know nothing
about, and therefore do not believe in.

DRASTIC TAX CUT DIsAPPRovED
BY Andrew w. Mellon

(Andrew ". Mellon was born in Pittsburgh.
Pa. in 1854. He was graduated from Western
University of Pennsylvania (now University of
Pittsburgh in 1878. For years Mellon was presi-
dent Of the Mellon National bank of Pittsburgh
and an officer or director Of various financial and
industrial corporations. In 1921 he resigned as
president of the Mellon National bank to become
Secretary Of the Treasury under President Hard
ing. He was re-appointed to the post by President
Coolidse)
It is easy-and popular-to slash taxes particular
ly those which have a general application and are
in their appeal. Both the treasury and
congress are in agreement in wanting to reduce taxes
70 the greatest possible extent consistent with the
revenue needs Of the government. But care must be
taken to keep such reductions well within the surplus
which may be counted on, for we do not want to be
lowering and then raising our taxes every year or two.
It must be remembered that our present revenues
are due to the high level Of prosperity which has OBJ
tanned for several years, and any reduction in taxes
will be made on the assumption that this prosperity
will continue without any abatement. While at pres
ent the general trend is resssuring, nevertheless, if
there should be a falling off in business, with a con-
sequent and immediate reduction in the yield Of the
corporation and individual income taxes, it may be
necessary for congress to levy additional taxes in or
der to provide for the revenue needs of the govern
ment. Once the excise taxes have been eliminated.
they will not be restored. The first move will be to
increase the rates on individual corporation income
taxes. and the very person now urging an excessive
reduction in taxes viii be the first to pay the penalty
in any increased taxes which may be necessary for the
production of needed revenue.
The principal evil to be avoided in any system of
taxation is that Of excessive rates. Excessive rates
upon any class Of property or taxpayers are harmful,
because they distort or obstruct the normal flow Of
trade and investments. It l. not 50 important Just
where the tax is levied. but it is extremely important
that no income. corporate or private. and no property.
tangible or intangible. should be unprecedented

The Produce Trade

The Produce Agency Act, passed at the last Ses-
sion Of congress-. but which did not 80 into effect IN
til last month, owing to the fact the appropriation was
held up until the present congress convened, has a
fertile field in which to operate. There is probably
no line of business which has been more prolific of
sharp practices than that Of handling perishables, and
the action of the federal government in creating a
bureau which will investigate these practices will be
q source Of satisfaction to thousands Of growers and
shippers throughout the United States.
Most Of the cid shippers have learned to spot"
the dishonest jobber or those addicted to sharp prac-
tees. but this has not prevented a yearly crop of the
~ret-rich-cuick" artists who endeavor to prey upon
inexperienced shippers or farmers who can be induced
10 ship their perishables. Practices, which in other
lines Of business would probably result in jail sen
fences, are often INDUCED in, the jobber taking sd-
vantage q the fact that he 10 far removed from his vic
tim, and that should the latter seek redress it would
cost him more than the loss he has sustained through
the dishonest practices Of the jobber. 1t is this eondi-
ton the new produce agency act will seek 70 eliminate.
The government will undertake investigation Of all
cases where there is reasonable evidence Of dishonest
practices and will prosecute dishonest receivers
whenever the evidence is sufficient.
AS an example Of some Of the sharp practices Of
the perishable game" number Of prominent New
York receivers recently met to discuss plans to elm
mate what has become known as the rebate evil, )"
which has been foisted on them by a certain class OF
buyers in the market. This evil is nothing more than
the habit of jobbers, who buy goods. either to insist
upon q reduction IN the purchase price after the goods
have been delivered and sold. or who deliberately de-
duet small amounts from their bills when paying them.
This evil has grown rapidly. A number Of suits have
arisen t~herefrom, and in almost every case the reeeiv-
er has won. However, the amounts clipped from bills
By jobbsrs when they are sending checks are so
small it does not pay to 60 to law in an attempt to col
leet. The only recourse Of the receiver Is to widen
the margin of spread to cover this source Of loss,
and 70 refuse 70 supply goods to jo6bers who indulge
N practices OF this nature. The receivers now pro-
pose to organize. spot this class Of jobhers and refuse
"a sell to them. The result viii be that the jobbers will
either be forced to retire from business or reform
THAR business methods.
That the produce business, especially N the larg-
= consuming eenters, needs . thorough investigation
and cleaning. has been apparent for many years. The
r,putahle receivers haze sustained heavy losses as &
r.salt Of sharp practices on the part Of the "get-rieh-
or;ek~ artists. and they will welcome any move BY the
roy.rnrsat 70 correct the situation. The ~reRuta6is

Chief Crow had reached a point
directly e the heads OF the waiting
circle Of birds. Suddenly tipping one
wing at almost right angles 70 his
body-or so IL seemed to Peter
he began his descent. Had he
swooped right straight toward the
earth there ~ little doubt but that
the boy would have become very
dizzy. But Crow was too wise an old
bird 70 do anything 20 foolish. Just
as an ~aeroplaae volplanes to earth
so he dropped down and down, but
gradually and In circles that were
wide when he started. but that mar
rowed as he neared the earth. Peter
enjoyed "the drop" immensely.
This Is lots Of fun. Chief cried
he. Il have my eyes shut and it feels
exactly as il 7 were coastinc down

Crow did not answer, 50 Peter
opened his eyes and cautiously peer

gave a gasp Of surprise. Peter could
see the birds quite plainly. Each
