per cent.
The survey points out that the 100
stocks at the end of August represented
approximately 48 per cent OF the market
value of all the securities (stocks and
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange. If
it could be estimated that the remain
ing So per cent deprecated common
surately, 1t might be said that there
has been 23-bililon- dollar deprecia-
ton. Actually, however, this probably
would be an overheard estimate, since
large percentage of the market values
outside the index represents preferred
stocks and bonds.
The survey concludes that cit would
probably be a safe generalization to
estimate that the market value of all
securities listed on the New York Stock
Exchange at the October "a low points

Advice to Representatives.
New York Times. }

When resigning his seat in the House to go
to the Senate in order to fill out the unexpired
term of the late Senator Willis, Mr. Burton of
Ohio a little while ago made friendly farewell
address to the Representatives. He was entitled
to do so by his long service in the House,
though this had before been broken by one term
in the Senate His attitude was that of veteran
giving useful advice to those whom he was eav-
ing behind.
One thing he strongly urged the House not
to do. and that is increase its membership.
In Mr. Burton's opinion, the enlargement of the
number of Representatives from something like
$50, when he first elected to the House, to
nearly 100 more at present, of itself tended to
diminish the prestige CT the lower chamber. He
earnestly advised the Representatives to whom he
spoke to increase 1.-The Federal ratio" or numer-
cal basis for electng Representative rather
than keep it where it is, with the result of
crowding fifty or more additional members into
the House. Apparently the new reapportionment
bill as drafted. will correspond to this idea adj
vanced by Senator Burton
He also exhorted the Representatives to culti-
vate independence and industry in their legisla-
tive activities. Especially where no direct issue
between the parties is concerned, it is highly
desirable, Mr.. Burton believes that the best
individual Judgment of the members should be
expressed In their votes on non-contentious meac-
ures. He likewise expressed the hope that the
separate Representatives would each seek to con-
centrate himself upon two subjects of
public interest thus develping the special com
petence and mastery which it is SO important
to be able to place at the disposal of the House
when large questions are under debate
Mr.. Burton requested that no personal con-
graduation should be extended to him or com
ments made upon his speech in the House But
the hearty applause with which his closing words
were greeted was evidence enough of his popular-
lty and of the respect in which he is generally
held.

NATION OF TAXPAYERS.

Taxes totaling $9,O74, 100000 collected
by the Federal State and local governments in
the United States during the fiscal year ended
in 1927, the greatest amount for any one year
in the history of the country up to that time,
according to report of the Tax Division of the
National Industrial Conference Board
The amount is said also to be the greatest
total of taxes collected in any country in
any one year in the worlds history. although
or measured as proportional national income,
is considerably higher in many foreign countries,
notably Great Britain and Germany than in the
United States
Estimates made by the Conference Board in
dictate that taxes collected in the United States
in the fiscal year ended in 1928 still
greater than in 1927, totaling approximately So
1863. 000, 000 but complete figures for that year
are not yet available.
The Nations tax bill has increased steadily
since 1928 VIXEN s7.23400OO0O was collected :
but the previous peak Of tax collections was in
1921, when $S,S3S.000,0 900 raised rejecting
heavy Federal expenditures for war purposes All
the increase since 1928 however, is attributed to
growing evies CT State and local governments.

Technical Cooperation.

Annual reports of British mining companies

commendable liberality in the dissemination of
technical details of operation that BODIES well for

this tendency. Likewise in recent months En-

This growing tendency represents nothing
revolutionary. In fact, 1t is the beginning of
change long overdue. High standards of en-

a generous spirit of technical cooperation Fail

a policy has been responsible to a large extent

The press to take it for granted that
Henry L. Stimson famous New York lawyer, one
time partner of Elhu Root former Secretary of
War and present Governor General of the Philip

probably Secretary of State. Although stanch
Republican, Mr.. Stimson has taken little part in
the management of his party and not much part
in politics of any sort He the defeated
Republican nominee for Governor of New York

Of President Taft. He a delegate at large

1915, where he learned to know and admire
Alfred E. Smith. Earlier in life he U. s..
Attorney for the New York City district.
Mr.. Stimson is big enough for any office
that he might be chosen to fill He is pro-
found scholar, has broad viewpoint, and is man
of the very highest type and attainments. He got
his Bachelor of Arts degree at Yale and his
Master of Arts and law degrees at Harvard. His
public service such he has rendered. has been
of very superior character.
Mr.. Stimson would add to the stature of
any Cabinet to which he might be chosen Not
only is he fitted in every way for high office,
but he looks like statesman. He is So, but ap-
