Supply and Demand

Mass production organized COM
merce and areas of exchange which
90 far beyond national boundaries
bring us face to face with q new
order of things.
Time was when NO one conceived
it possible to touch the law of
supply and demand beyond the
family table or the wovk shop.
1t was taken for granted that
nature would adjust the relation
ship between production and con-
sumption, and that arbitrary inter
ference, even though it might be
possible, was bound to result in
more harm than good

What England tried to do with
rubber and what Cuba is trying TO
do with sugar furnishes a vivid il
lustration of how big business is
weaving itself into international
politics.
Rubber and sugar are compare
lively new commodities. Their con-
sumption is a matter of discovery,
education and inventiveness.
If the world could be taught to
consume such vast quantities of
rubber in seVenty-five years, and
such vast quantities of sugar in 500,
why couldn't it be taught to adjust
the supply to the demand?
That is what economists and
statemen are asking themselves, and
what promises to become an out
standing international problem.

Who issues national bank notes,
the bank or the Government?

Upon deposit of certain prescribed
United States bonds bearing the
circulation privilege, in trust with
the treasurer of the United States,
any national bank may issue nation
al bank notes. The amount of notes
issued may not exceed the par value
of the bonds SO deposited, or the
amount of the capital stock of the
issuing bank actually paid in. Each
bank is required to maintain upon
deposit with the treasurer Of the
United States lawful money equal
to per cent of its note circulation.
This fund is held and used for re-
demption of the notes. National
bank notes are not legal tender, but
are receivable for all public dues,
except duties ON imports and may
be paid out by the Governor for all
purposes except interest on the pub
lie debt, and for redemption of the
national currency. The notes are
actually printed for the banks in the
United States bureau of engraving
and printing.

Regulated Production

Naving schooled us to trade on an

effects of advertising on consump-

Undismayed by Englands failure
to fix the price of rubber, Cuba will
attempt to fix the price of sugar.
The basic idea is to raise the price
by curtailing production.
Cuban sugar growers, assisted by
the government, have obtained an
agreement of cooperation which
involves half the worlds crop. As
in the case Of rubber, Dutch inter
ests refused to have anything to Go
with the sugar pool.

Our Rotting Ships

Quarrelling as to whether the
Government or private interests
should control the merchant marine
has served no purpose so distinctly
during the past few years to to re-
tard progress.
While politicians and theorists
have argued, our ships have rotted,
our yards have been shut down, and
our rightful share of ocean COM
merce has gone to other people.
With both the Government and
private interests doing all they
could to develope a merchant ma
rine there would still be room for
improvement.
That, at any rate, seems to be the
way the House Committee feels
about it.

A small snake found IN the South
Atlantic States, much feared by the
superstitious, who say that it puts
its tail in its mouth, stiffens its
body and rolls along like a hoop,
aiming to let go of its sting tipped
tail, and dart it into the first per-
son its meets. There is also a SUI
perstition that if a tree is struck
by one of these snakes it will die
within tWenty-four hours. Similar
stories are told of a closely related
species, the wampum snake, COM
monty found in swampy ground in
the South. Both species are per-
fectly harmless, and spend most of
their time beneath the ground bur-
rowing deeply into the soil. The
former is blue-black above, marked
with three red lines, and flesh-col-
ored below, with black spots; while
the latter is uniform blush, black
above and banded with red on the
abdomen.

Using American Vessels

In drafting substitute for the
Jones BILL which leans heavily 20
ward Government operation. the
House Committee has endeavored
to reach a compromise that would
enable both public and private in
terests to cooperate.
Leaving the United States Ship
ping Board free to go on with its
task, this bill increases the loan
fund which private ship builders
can borrow by $100,000,000 and the
amount they can borrow from two
thirds to three-fourths the value of
ships. 1t provides for longtime mail
contracts, though not to exceed ten
years with sliding scale of rates
that rises in response to the speed
and size Ct ships
Not so important, perhaps, but
worthwhile because of the spirit it
implies, the bill stipulates that Off
Gals shall travel in American ships
when going abroad.

Is the bite of an ordinary spider
ever fatal to human life?
The stings of some spiders are
much more severe than those of
waspS o rbees, and may cause con-
siderable general weakness, head
ache, sweating and vomiting, but
they are practically never fatal. In
most spiders the mandibles are so
small and weak as to be incapable
Of piercing the human skin and if
they did so, the small amount of
poison injected could have no de-
leteriouS effect.

TARDY TAXPAYERS
MAKE PAYMENTS
Today Is Last Day to Escape
Advertisement for Sale
of Levy Deeds.

J A long line containing several hum
dred tardy taxpayers struggled through
! the arrears division of the tax assessors
| office and then through the tax COL
: lector's office this morning. November
30 is the last day for paying arrears OF
taxes on real estate in order to escape
having tax deeds to the property being
advertised for sale. The advertisements
will appear in morning and an after
noon paper November 5 and II.
Most of the taxes being paid today
were those which became due in Sep
TENDER, 1926, and March, 1927. On
the former there is a penalty for tardy
payment of s per cent and on the lat
ter of IA per cent. computed on the
basis of l per cent per month.
BY paying taxes today he payers
avoid an assessment of so cents for each
parcel for advertising costs and also /
per cent extra penalty, which will fall
due tomorrow
Tax Assessor William P Richards
said that all delinquent taxpayers had
received notices at least ~ weeks ago
notifying them that tax q to their
property would be sold neX' January,
but that apparently most of u m chose
the f1fty-ninth minute of " eleventh
hour to do their paying.
Mr.. Richards repeated his complaint,
made many times before that l per
cent per month is too small a penalty
for slow tax payment. He said that the
resources of his Office were strained to
the utmost by late payers, and that he
believed heavier penalty would re-
lieve the congestion. He estimated be-
tween S1,000000 and S1,50o.O00 arrears
If taxes on the books, much of which
will still remain when the tax sale list
goes to press.
