 Nothing of bootleg nature is cor roding society more rapidly than this practice, and this is especially true among youth. Since hundreds of students engaged in this practice cannot keep their ill-gotten money without rousing parental suspicious, they are compelled to blow their earnings on wild parties. Many peo- pie have wondered how parties of mere. boys and girls spend nights in speak -easies. spending money like water, when the boy paying the bill has no tangible resources. The answer is commission tipping. This practice is assuming dangerous pro- portions all over the United States. and is no longer confined to large centers of population.

 The economic system of the United States, he said, is favorable to the payment of high wages, citing fthe great natural resources of the coun- try together with an extensive dos mestic market which permits not only a smooth movement of conls- modities, but also advantageous manufacturing of finished goods by national methods and also the amount of available capital"
 But, he said, in spite of 'propiti- ous circumstances" he is of the opinion that ''the limit has been exr ceeded." This, he said, explains the attempt of industrial interests to oh- tain increases in tariff duties.
 Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric company, addressed the convention on stabilization of employment, explaining the unern- ployment benefit system which that company has established through creation of a reserve fund as an ex- ample to be followed by industry generally.
 Oskar SempelI, of the United States Steel Works of Germany, and Wallace N. Donham, dean of the graduate school of business adminis- tration, Harvard university, spoke on problems of production.

 The federal Government can place a per cent tax against its own gross sales. The total liquor bill of the dwindle from eight billion dollars to about a billion, five hundred mill lion, because the government could sell liquor for less than one-fifth of the prices it is sold for now. A 5 per cent tax would bring in about seventy-fve million year, anr that money should be placed back of an educational fund that would consti- ute the greatest anti-alcoholic edu- cational campaign in the worlds history.
 And mind you, added the gangs ter, there wouldn't be single peep from pro-liquor forces. In other words, the government would not be compelled to combat. The govern ment dispensaries should be fitted up like a bank, where it would be im- possible for a customer to get behind the counter. He would buy his liquor in a wrapped package, enclosed In circular advising the customer of the injurious effects of the liquor he has purchased. Therefore, the govern ment dispensary would completely eliminate every rotten influence that was found in the old saloon and its back room, and it would completely eliminate the me-hatching, con- dominating influence of the speak easy soloon.
 Tn other words, he said, by this move the vets would get their liquor for one-fifth of the money they pay now. This would satisfy them. On the other hand, the drys would have finally whipped, and completely shipped, for the first time in the history of civilization the private

that some. one would sit down and forget he was a wet or dry, and really try to solve the problem for the benefit of the country. Is 1t pos- sible that anyoone is ignorant of the fact that profits in the liquor traffic have created every rotten, corrupt, ommunity-destroying influence that liquor has ever been tagged with?
 "It was the misuse of net earn ings that destroyed the saloon regime, he pursued. Now, there is five dollars profit for every dollar there was in business before 1921. ] Remove the profit of liquor. and you will have removed every rotten for all time eliminate political and gangster corruption of any and all kinds; you will have completely de- stroyed pro-liquor propaganda, be- cause no one will care about de- lending liquor when there is no money made in defending it, and no injured rights to fight about. There is only one agency that can take the profit out of liquor, and that's the federal government.
 If the federal government manu- factures and sells liquor without profit, they remove an evil, or rather two evils, that state control will not solve. While eliminating all corrup- tion, 1t will at the same time elim- mate pro-liquor propagandas from an advertising standpoint. Under state control, liquor will be privately manufactured and sold to state dis pensaries. The private manufacture CTS, with the world before them, will spend more millions trying to induce the public to buy their par ticular brand of liquor that the boot leggers spend to gain political con- trol.

AlOyse Meyer of Luxem- burg Says High Wages of Present Are Out of Economic Balance

Washington, May 6.-UP)-A prominent foreign industrialist, Aloyse Meyer, of Luxemburg, presi- dent of the European steel cartel, challenged the American theory of high wages to-day and told the United States, in effect, that the present wage scale is out of econ- omic balance.
 The steel baron threw this con- troversial issue for the first time into the International Chamber of Commerce convention, where it is bound to stir up all sorts of reper- cussions.
