It appears that both Mr. Me Donough and Mir. Quigley are in favor of a reassessm ent of property within the city, and we assume by outside experts.

 If the candidates favor local re- assessment, however, the subject is scarcely important enough to dis- cuss.

Test Case Planned in
 Arrest of Malt Dealers

Portland Me. April 1 (UP)- Whether possession of ingredients for the manufacture of liquor con- stitute a violation of the national prohibition law will be decided by federal court here in what is con- sidered a test case.
 Thomas N. and E. Donahue, own- CTS of the Donahue brothers shop. are being held under $l,000 bail each for the federal grand jury fol- lowing a raid on their store in which malt and hops valued at sl,- 500 to $e,000 were seized.
 Seth May. federal prohibition di- rectot for Maine, said that if the federal court rules that the Dona- hue brothers had violated the dry law it would have an important bearing on the sale of malt and hops in this state.

THE PLAN TO TAX MARGINAL TRADING

Wicked marginal trading on the stock exchange is having an airing in Congress.
 Representative Clarence T. Me Leod Of Michigan has started the ball rolling by introducing a bill 10 impose q federal tax on sales Of stock on margin. Considerable scnti- mcnt for method to discourage this form Of gambling" is said to exist in both houses of Congress.
 Mr. Mclcod's idea as embodied in his measure is 10 have a tax rarS inS from one per cent where the

margin IS iU per cent or more of the purchase price, to 50 per cent where the margin is 25 per cent or less. The subject is one that has en- gendered thought from the early days of stock trading. Contracts for the sale of securities not actually owned or assigned were declared void by act of the New York legis- lature as carly as 1912. Similar laws were enacted by other states, but they soon became dead letters; and a New York statute of 1858 provided that no contract for the sale O. property should be void on the ground that the seller did not actu- ally own the property involved. This 1858 act affirmatively legalized short sales, and is still in force. When the committee of the New York Legislature, of which Charles E. Hughes was counsel investigated the stock exchange from 1907 to 1909, the recommendations that fol- lowed were. not that marginal trad ing be abolished nor that 'short' selling be restricted, but that the percentage of margins be increased to at least 20 per cent. Other alleged evils on the stock exchange were declared to be more readily re- formable by the exchange itself than by laws, and some of them have been abolished by the action of the exchange.
 Still, conditions were not entirely satisfactory, and in 1912-13 the Pujo sub committee of the House banking and currency committee in- vestigated the business of the New York Stock Exchange. Seven of the eleven members signed a report recommending that the federal gov ernment regulate stock exchanges.
 A host of suggestions, some of them "radical,' were made, but the bill containing the Pujo committees recommendation was never acted upon by either branch of Congress.
 But that is not all. In 1922 the Supreme Court held unconstitutional a 1921 act of Congress on trading iA grain futures. The act would have overtly regulated grain exchanges by imposing heavy tax upon future sales on exchanges, unless the ex- changes compiled with regulations laid down in the act. However, in the following year the Court upheld a similar act passed in 1922 for the ostensible purpose of removing ob- structions in interstate commerce in grain.
 The Mcleod bill is simply one O. many that have been offered to curl, stock exchange speculation. These are most prolific after recession in values has taken place. Congress men seem to reflect an attitude of hostility by losers-which seems natural enough. Recent bills sub mitted to Congress involve a five per cent tax on transfers of stock not held at least 60 days previous ly; 75 per cent tax on profits from short term speculations; five per cent tax on all short sales; the for bidding of short sales; and the denial of mail, telephone, telegraph and radio facilities to persons selling securities not actually in their pos session.

cession in income somebody must hold the bag. Unfortunately the equity owner cannot always hold it.
 Home ownership is always to be cultivated, It is said that the man with $500 can begin paying on q home, provided his income is enough to carry the charges. After a perod of years he will own the home. This is very simple.
 But throughout New England-in New Britain as in Worcester, Spring field, Portland and in every other place of size-there has been a djf- ferent system in effect, and this diff ferent system also has been en- courased.
 This system is for the ambitious home owner to be shown how he could become the owner of a tenc- ment; and just about as easy as owning his own home and some- times easier
 This plan also is simple. The am bilious home owner makes his down payment, a tenement is erect ed, he lives in one of the apartments, and collects rent from those living in the other apartments. Those in the other apartments, through the payment of rent money, 'carry the charges" In due time, after the apartments have been rented at q certain minimum for certain, period of years, the owner really owns the tenement.
 The trouble has been that some thing is likely to happen if and when rents decrease below the re- quired minimum, or and in addition some of the apartments in the tene- ment are vacant for too long a time Unfortunately the carrying charges continue regardless of such details Thus we see-and really it is very simple-that going into home own. ership through the tenement owner. ship route needs more than ambi- ton. It needs more capital than $ down payment that empties thl pockets. As any realtor will agree any man with reserve funds is able to carry himself as well as tn, carrying charges through the present realty period. It is a lack of re. serves that causes the aches aaG pains.
 Conditions as they are will no remain. Lessons learned should be applied in the future. It is grievou, | indeed to see people meet with re. verses when their only offense ha. | been failure to take all possibiltie' into consideration, when they vir. tually gambled with the future ant the latter turned against them. Experience is a hard teacher-al, ways has been-and one of the re. sultant trends already noticeable fo' l year or more has been the con. struction of larger proportion O one-family houses, which in 2 sense compete with tenements ant apartments. This tendency mean! i that fewer people are inclined to gt | into the tenement ownership busi ness and more are inclined 10 cm. bark into actual home ownership | for themselves Such a tendency i, not to be deplored Even the mos optimistic will admit that the city has enough tenement and apart. ment houses 10 last it for quite 2 while.

ernment by instruction, and en-
couraging such movement thru
its agents in the United States.
We oppose further invasion of
federal power upon state and local
rights and duties. We oppose fur
Their advances toward state Soc
allsm, Which abandons the Ameri-
can tradition of manly independ-
ence for the individual and accepts
the outwetn European tradition
of the citizen as slave to power
holding politicians.
1t is significant fact. as shown
by the recent Senate investigation
that the present intense agitation
on the prohibition question has
been heavily financed by powerful
interests having an object in div
iding the American people bitter
ly on a question of domestic policy,
in order that their attention may
be diverted from a conspiracy by
these same interests to reduce the
American masses to the general
low economic level of the rest OF
the world for the profit of few.
We are opposed to that over
Capitalization of finance and IN
dustry which is destroying states
rights, independent industry, bank
ing and merchandising, and which,
not satisfied with the merging pol
icy in the United States, is chief
ly responsible for the program of
merging American industry, fin
ance and politics with that of the
rest of the world.
Upon this basis of principles we
invite the cooperation of the Re-
publican and independent voters
of the South, to the end that we
may raise up an irresistible force
in behalf of the true principles of
nationalism, once fundamental
with all American political par
ties, and which alone can save this
country from the most serious con-
sequences.
