Buying real estate plastered with mortgages is like buying any other goods on the installment plan.
 When it is done during a boom period it looks as if there will be no trouble in having the rent-payers help carry the property until all the mortgages are paid off. This would require period of years during which much might happen.
 Unfortunately. few think of that at the time. The hard thinking doesn't start until the rents go down and normalcy has arrived.
 Meanwhile the owners of the mortgages, like the installment col lectors, are heard from. Their con- Nersation is not pleasant.

The taxpayers organizations have been told this and that. and they no doubt have a few collective ideas of their own about the entire business. But the fact that it is sought to have 8 committee of investigation ap- pointed indicates at least that they believe there are matters hitherto untouched upon that might be brought to the surface.

An instance of how things have been going is mentioned:
 "The holders Of the control of one concern were disturbed over the soaring of it's stock above what they consider a reasonable value.

 Managers Of large industrial con ccrns who wish to do future tinanc- ing through stock sales naturally are alarmed subscribing to the belief that should there be a serious let down in the bull market of excessive speculation, and holders of their securities lose heavily. they would have q hard time accomplishing such financing.
 They are looking to the future. unfortunately most people only recognize the present as binding upon their actions.
 Brokers loans in three years have gone from three billions Of dollars 10 eight billions. Spectators by the hundreds of thousands are borrow ing money at nine per cent in order to receive yields of two and three per cent.
 But tn" spectators are not inter- ested in the yields. They are interest cd in selling their stocks to some other speculators at a higher figure.

THE LEVY ON REAL ESTATE

At a convention of real estate men recently it was shown that the tax burden on realty has been seriously Increased through two factors: (a) The continued high cost of operating municipal gOvcrnments including the cost of paying for i'm provements that extend over long term of years.
 .. tbl The almost universal decrease in the values of certain form of realty, due to overbuilding and other factors, resulting in decrease of in come to the owners thereof.
 The real estate men wanted to know how this disparity between municipal outgo and decreased values of certain forms of realty could be eliminated.

Russian Home Life Is Ce-
mented By Easy divorces

New. York, Dec. 1S.-Easy di-
vorce in Russia by no means has
proved provocative of immortality.
Despite facile means of severing
matrimonial bonds, the family per-
sists as a sturdy unit. Children
are treasured.
These impressions, strikingly at
variance with some propaganda,
have just been brought from Rus
STA by Albert Ottinger, formerly
attorney general of the state of
New York and Republican candi-
date for governor last year.
Whereas one might expect Rus
STA to abound with women of easy
virtue, owing to lax divorce law,
the contrary is the fact, Ottinger
said in an interview today. He
continues:
at must be constantly borne in
mind that Russia today is ruled
rigidly by a minority fully as abb
solute as the regime of the late
car and his mobiles.
"These communists, while frank
~ acknowledging the strict disci-
pline they exact, term it a benevo-
lent agency for development of a
retarded people.
"They call this tyranny of a mi
nority paternalism-I would call it
maternalism, because the striking
exaltation of womanhood, especial
ly motherhood, has no parallel in
the world except in America.
"For that reason easy divorce,
as provided by the new Russian
statutes, has no apparent harmful
effect upon the continuity of fam
lily life. Severe penalties are ex-
acted upon those fathers who dis
play tendency TO shirk a moral
duty.
Ottinger declared the formal fos-
tering of atheism has not even
touched the masses of the Russian
people, so heavily infiltrated with
Aiatic blood.
81 look for a metamorphosis,"
Ottinger said, "of the Russian So
Geological experiment along lines
that may parallel the course of the
French revolutionaries. Atheism,
although sincerely fostered by Rus
sia's Lenin worshipers, has not
scratched the great mass of people
over there.

SMEDLEY BUTLER TELLS THE WORLD HOW
WALL ST. WINS ELECTIONS IN LATIN AMER.

Pittsburgh - (FP) - Scarcely
had Pres. Hoover finished telling
Congress that in the large sense
the United States does not care to
be represented abroad by marines
when Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler
of the marine corps told a big
Pittsburgh audience how marine
representation works. Butler thot
it huge joke on the Nicaraguans,
Haitians and Chinese. His audi
ence of prosperous building con-
tractors thought so too.
"Our candidates always win,
said the general describing native
elections supervised by his ma
rines. Coming just as Boss Ware
was kicked out of the senate be-
cause in Pennsylvania Ware too al
ways won, this Butler slogan made
quite a hit. He said his usual meth
cd was to declare the native oppo-
sition candidates bandits. This
gave anybody, including the ma
rines, a legal right to take pot
shots at them. Once Buffers job
was to re-elect a man who was
very useful to American imperial
ism but was hated by Nicaraguan
voters.
$50 we rounded up 400 voters
we could depend on" Butler brag-
ged, "'gave five minutes notice of
the election and closed the polls as
soon as the 400 had voted. The op-
position didn't have a chance"
In Haiti, he related, the marines
helped provoke and prolong a riot
in the congress so that the Ameri-
can-kept president could order the
congress dissolved before it could
adopt a new anti-American consti-
tuition. In the same country Butler
saw to it that a man who could
neither read nor write was all
pointed minister of education. That
he considered, was one Of the big
gest jokes the marines ever pulled
on natives anywhere. "But we'd
better not let it get out" he eau
toned his audience, while report
ers from all Pittsburgh papers
were in plain view taking down
notes.
Whenever a Chinese leader got
to be a nuisance to the American
marines in the recent revolution,
he was taken up in a marine air
plane, Butler continued. "Then we
dropped one of our bombs and let
him see what it meant. He wasn't
so bothersome after that"
Buffers talk Immediately started
things cummings. Sen. Borah of
the foreign affairs committee was
notified and the state department
was questioned by correspondents
while European news agencies de-
manded detailed accounts to be
cabled to their papers across the
sea.
