NEW YORK, May 14-The greatest

in the June issue of Plain Talk.

for the part they have played in the

"Old business principles have vanished
and a new day of romance has entered
in" this Plain Talk article points out.
The Wall Street manipulators are far
from being hard-headed business men.
Rather they are ronanticists. Men
who believe in fairy tales and make
them come true, men who with a little
different training would have been
readers Of romantic poetry and lovers
of lonely wayside flowers; Soft-headed,
gossipy men, long on advice. totally de-

Mr.. Epperson.
Strange and unbelievable as 1t may
seem. stocks with large earnings are not
the ones that are given the longest and
most profitable rides. 1t is the stocks
with romantic names, or those connect
ed with romantic businesses, that are
singled out. The public wants large

In addition to giving the Treasury re-

revenue this year from the income tax.
it now appears that the stock market
boom through 1928-29 will add very
considerably to it's funds by stamp tax
payments For the nine months OF the
current fiscal year, the Bureau OF IN
ternal Revenue reports, stock transfers
have brought in $27,073, 084.94, against
$15.660, 928.88 for the same period last
year.
How exclusively this is a matter OF
Wall Street payment Is Illustrated by
the further bureau figures. New YORK
so far this year has paid $24, 10000 out
of the national total. In the same nine
months last year the New York STOCK
transfers brought in $l4,177,839.
simultaneously with the boom IN
stocks the tax figures also record a
marked decline as having taken place
in speculation on the great produce ex-
changes in grain and cotton. Future
sales of such commodities are also
taxed but receipts from the tax In Hi
nois. where the Chicago grain pit is
located, have amounted during the last
nine months to but $1,119,648, while
the same period last year they were
S1.311,57O. In New York, where the
Cotton Exchange is the main source. of
such tax, they have amounted to
S921,377 for the last nine months,
against $1,106,973 in the same period
last year.
