WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page -

sational disclosures, especially on
tariff matters. In the vote on the
sugar tariff, which was reached
few days ago, Chairman Caraway OF
the lobby committee, publicly ayOwed
that an increased rate on sugar would
be regarded as a reputation OF the
lobby committees activities, as 1t
would show the futility of an expose
and stamp Senators themselves as
political traders. Senator Caraway
ruled the "roost" in the lobby com
mittee, but the Senate turned deaf
ear and supported the sugar lobby.
Since that time the lobby committee
has been losing ground. as some Sen
ators say privately that the lobby in
vestigation is nothing more than
publicity stunt for two or three Sena-
tors and a source of embarrassment to
the SO other members.
There has been little said about the
correspondence that several Senators
and Representatives have exchanged
with Secretary of Treasury Mellon,
regarding the transfer Vi the bUdlu
of Tax Appeals under the same roof
with the Income Tax Unit. These
legislators and agencies representing
the taxpayers are gravely concerned
over the possible effect of having the
collection agencies and the tax tribunal
mingling The fear is manifest that
environment may give government tax
assessments. 1t has been charged
at various times that the Treasury
Department has much to do with rec
concentrations as to appointments to
I the Board of Tax Appeals. The pres
ent drive is to lessen the Treasury
Departments influence so that out
siders may be assured of more equit-
able treatment whenever they believe
their taxes are excessive.
The Democrats, who are now in the
minority in the Senate and the House,
are frankly hopeful that Republican
leaders will furnish them with cam
paign issues. They are remaining
quiet as their oppositions has family
quarrels over political plums. This
| is especially true in the effort of Sen
ator LaFollette Republican Progress

A LITTLE TALK on THRIFT
(By s. w. Straus)

Much is made of the value of thrift
in preparing US for days of adversely.
Quite properly we are told over and
over again that the best safeguard
against dependence due to illness, un-
employment, old age or some other
condition of restricted income, is
thrift.
But it should be borne in mind, also,
that it is equally important that
through thrift we prepare for good
times as well Thrift is for the
strong, the ambitious, and the pro-
gressive as well as for those who may
be living in the shadow of impending
misfortune The following is from
the pen of young man:
Saving money, for the young un-
married man, in many cases molds
his character by self-denial of things
he does not need, improves his health
by eliminating dissipation and en-
couraging regular hours of sleep. i'm
proves the quality of his work by put
ting him in a better physical position
and lessening the number of distract
| ing outside interests and influences.
He also explained that he was able
to make a large saving by keeping a
! budget. He did not feel that his
| habits implied stingineSs or tight
fistedness, but he realized that his
success in life depended on his ability
to save money while young. He said
he had observed that few successes in

WHEAT ELEVATOR
COMPANY FAILS.
Boards Co-Ops May Lose lOO.-
600 Bushels a Continental
Co. Goes Bankrupt.

Ninneapolis, MINI. Investigation OF
the voluntary bankruptcy of the Con-
tinental Grain Co. here disclosed the
fact that the Farmers National Grain
corporation, an agency OF the Federal
Farm board, had, temporarily at least
lost title to 100000 bushels of wheat.
worth about $4,000, and recently pur-
chased with government funds. The
wheat is still in bins at the Continen-
tai grain elevator but the warehouse
hypothecated with local banks, as Sc
curity for loan, by H. A. Murphy. as
president of the company. While
veil of mystery surrounds the trans
actions few facts stand out. Official
records of the Minnesota railroad and
warehouse commission show that 500,
900 bushels of grain is in certified
storage in the Continental elevator
Also that this stored grain includes
103, goo bushels of wheat bought and
paid for by the Farmers National
Grain corporation, delivered for il at
the elevator and warehoused in the
name of the Farmers National as
owner, and that not a single bushel
OF this aforementioned wheat has
been withdrawn or removed from the
Continental elevator Lastly, the re-
cords show that official storage certi.
fcates covering the entire 100000 blu.
shells have been issued and still are
outstanding.
L. L. Drill, United States district
attorney, was appointed to represent
the federal farm board in it's attempt
to recover possession of 100000 bu
shells of wheat, involved in the finan
cial difficulties of the Continental
Grain Company. The appointment,
was made by Alexander Legge, chair
man of the farm board in a telegram
from Washington. Mr.. Drill will be
gin civil action, If necessary, to re
gain possession of the grain.

ever would amount to much If he dld
not learn first of all to master him

He displayed a deep appreciation
of thrift values when he called atten-
ton to the fact that it was not alone
the money he was saving that would
benefit him in after years, but that
to still greater degree dement's

Thrift indeed is for the young as

to the hopeful sunny days as well as

Real Road Problem

The good roads movement in the
United States has been productive
of so much enthusiasm that we are
likely to reach the conclusion that
our present highway mileage is
aqeduate for all purposes and that
there is no necessity for going to
the expense of further building on a
large scale.
The facts show differently. The
United States has three times as
many automobiles as the rest of
the world, but Europe has four times
our surfaced roadway.
We stand twelfth in the world in
the proportion of highway mileage
to square miles of territory.
A vast field for highway develop
ment remains almost untouched in
this. country. Great stress has been
laid on construction of trunk high
ways. Farm-to-market roads now
need attention.
At present there is a determined
movement, led by the American
Farm Bureau Federation, to provide
the farmer with the all-weather, year.
round highways that he needs and
deserves. This can be done, in
most states, without excessive cost
to the taxpayers by employing eco
nomical, low-priced, but long-wear-
ing surfaces. So long as an over
whelming majority of American
farmers live on roads that are impas-
sable during several months of the
year there will be serious road
problem.

Urges Fair Trial For PrOhi-
hilton

DR.. William Mather Lewis, president
of Lafayett College, addressed an
audience of teachers attending the an
nual convention OF the Southern Dis
trict of Pennsylvania State Education
Association, in Lancaster on Friday
evening.
DR.. Lewis declared that prohibition
has been abused and used as political
football. He urged continuance of
the law 20 years before it is called a
failure. 1t should be made a moral
and not political issue.
"We tolerated licensed saloons for
more than 100 years before the people
finally decided they were breaking
down civilization so why can't we give
Prohibition a longer life?" asked Dr.
Lewis.
Regarding prohibition being the
direct cause of the increasing crime
wave, the Lafayett Collegej president
said there are similar crime waves
throughout Europe where drinking is
tolerated to the fullest extent.
The prohibition law should be car
ried to the end and not declared fail
ure while in its infancy, he said.

Probably, at some time or other.
every American citizen complaines
about taxes. But not one citizen in
a thousand ever gets beyond the
talking stage.
If the stockholders of a business
were as lax about its management as
citizens are about the management of
government, the business would
probably 60 into bankruptcy. Gov
eminent, on the other hand, having
absolute power, merely digs deeper
into the public pocket-book.
The best possible advice on the tax
situation is: Quit talking and act.
