INVESTING IN TAX EXEMPTS. ,

Tax exempt securities outstanding at the out set of the present calendar year were valued at more than $16,170, .00O as shown by the lat est estimates of the Treasury Department. Since 1914, there has been an increase of over 23O per cent in this class of investment bonds. The increase is steady and relatively large and has been during the 15 year period covered by the Departments reports The total for January l. 1a27 was S15.224 ,000,000 and for the year prior fe fIat 3l4315 GOO 0eo The income earned by standing tax eSempts is believed to be lest Ss0Q 100000, perhaps more.
 fHis Increase has come about in the face of he strongest possible official Encouragement. For more than 10 years the Treasury Depart ment has worked to discourage the issuance of non taxable securities. It do nothing but preach however to prohibit their issuance by State and local governmental agencies, the Constitution must first be amended

MULTIPLYING INVESTIGATIONS.

One of the most important functions Of leg islative bodies is that of investigation. There are many fields offering opportunities for them to exercise tigis power, and in the past it has been exercised both by Congress and State Leg islatures with fruitful returns to the public. But there is such 3 thing as subordinating other leg is1ative functions to that of Investigating, and of unduly or unwarrantedly initiating investiga- tions which degenerate into general fishing ex- peditions." batting of business or industry with out promising any beneficial returns to the State.
 Speaking in the Senate recently on this sub feet Senator Bruce of Maryland, was led to the observation that "it is just as wrong, just as indefensible to accuse great industry and to follow up the accusation, no matter how vague, by an investigation before prima face case of some sort had been made out as it would be for a Grand Jury to indict citizen before at least some substantial ex parte testimony had been adduced to establish the guilt of the ac- cused"
 There are some eighteen or more Senatorial investigations now in progress. All of them may be highly necessary But it tends to confirm the impression that some of the Senators have allowed their propensities for acting prosecuting at torneys to disturb the eveness of the balance that is expected from those occupying that high posi- ton After all most legislative investigations less partisan in their nature. Onee in while something like the oil scandals crops out in which partisanship is put aside sBut in the main, great many of the Investigations could be more thoroughly conducted and more Satisfactorily handled by some ipdependent and non-partisan agency than by legislative commit tee armed with inquistorial powers. its members more less swayed by bias and prejudice, and nearly always having regard for political conse- quences As Senator Bruce pointed otft, such bodies are imperfectly adapted for purposes of this nature. They are the poorest kind of execu- tives, and even judges. In one quality do they excel, and that is. as the Maryland Senator phrased it. as an "inquisitorial instrn- ment"

Nevertheless there several of ex- penditure that will bear watching the Bureau of Home Economies suggests, and the budget will help you do so effectively
 Fixed expenses such as rent, insurance and taxes, may be passed over. Reductions can some times be made in the following groups: Food operating expenses, particularly service, fuel light, and power, supplies; furnishings cloth ing; gifts and recreation personal items: and the automobile, if there is one Better buying reduction of labor cost avoidance of waste. and doing without unnecessary purchases are the chief means to this end
 better system of buying often helps keen down the bills for food and supplies Special sales, buying in wholesale quantities, and CO., operative purchases provide many opportunities Tor savings. Before making such purchases how ever, the question of storage should be considered Spoilage may cut down the saving on the original purchase.

 There is something little fantastic in a first reading of The Worlds reports concerning those organizations which devote themselves heart and soul to radcal-bating, to the black listing of speakers suspected of liberal tendencies and 10 the accumulation of voluminous "infor- nation about various citizens through the work of spies. The idea is insistent thats perhaps some uncanny throwback in time has occurred that are again in the midst of the war days the days of Palmer and Lusk, of foreign snoop- CTS and hidden bombs and foreign toys impreg- mated with poison. But reading through the stories second time, comes upon fact here and there which relieves the air of mystery and reduces the matter to the realm of ordinary, familiar things. For example this extract from an advertisement, broadcast by of the largest patriotic organizations
