S By LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University, Bureau
Of Business Research
Any business man will tell you
that the outstanding feature to-
day is lack of confidence.
We see this in the widespre15
boarding of money in safe de-
posit boxes or elsewhere, which
has caused many of the bank fail
SreS.
Timidity of Bankers
We also see it in the timidity
or tightness of bankers in making
loans. We see it in the Bond
market. Even in the skimping OF
reasonably necessary purchases by
people who could afford to buy,
Tor this is apparent.
\ If we could strike at the roots
OF this lack of confidence we could
accomplish much. We don't want
any more of the false confidence
aof the professional optimist, but
we dc want a sound hopefulness
based on facts.
The knowledge that some price
Embellishments still exist, that
.Eome manufactured commodities,
some securities, some real estate
and some wage rates are still out
Of line.
The large stocks of some cnm-
modities, such as copper, wheat,
eOtton, rubber and silk.
( Political Uncertainty
Y Political uncertainty and threats
.Nf economically unsound regula-
Zion and taxation.
/: Uncertainty concerning foreign
debts.
e.: It could be said with much posi-
eiveness that if none Of these four
+, conditions existed business would
soon begin to mend, and employ
ment, therefore, would increase.

Boy Scouts of America

Boy Scouts Of America are to celebrate the 2ist
birthday OF the organization beginning today. Chief
Scout Executive James e. West reminds the Ameri-
imagination Of boys and the friends OF the organiza-
ton In this coming celebration. First. because scout
ing has become a part or America In a vital way.
Second, because its marvellous record and widespread
influence have been achieved because Of the inteli-
gent and active cooperation OF SO many different
people. Third. because almost without exception those
who have been leaders in America in the last q years
have contributed in some way to its success.
A summary Of its 20 years OF history shows that
up to Dec. 81, 1880, there have been 4.27S.337 different
boys enrolled as scouts. More remarkable still Is che
fact that s64,ss3 men had been registered for voun-
teer service in the 81 years. What a wonderful
tribute to the manhood Of America Is the short and
snappy paen OF praise given to the movement BY one
who has watched its growth for the 81 years Of its
history.
Figures are ever interesting. These are not only in
teresting but instructive. Active membership Of the
Boy Scouts OF America now totals s65. 4S5 scouts and
scouters and also 5l02 cubs. the new junior division
OF the Boy Scouts OF America. Its directing genius
and chief scout executive hopes with the aid Of lead

Gen. Smedley d. Butler Of the marines is a gal
liant fighter. a man Of high personal integrity, fasci-
mating writer and q most eloquent speaker. He has
enc a~ffliction. "the tongue OF q parrot" He dearly
loves the music OF his own voice. On leave OF abb
sence he visited Philadelphia, his native city. He was
invited to address a number OF his distinguished fellow
citizens. He accepted with alacrity. He said some
thing nasty. or repeated something nasty, relative to
the inhumanity Of Mussotni. dictator Of all the Ro-
mans. Mussolini demanded an apology. Secy. Slim
son Of the department OF state shot the apology by
wire from the Potomac river to the Tiber. Then the
secretary OF war suspended the general from active
duty and ordered q courtmartial.
Some men are SO touchy. But wherever the par
rot tongue works 1t gets its worker into a heap Of
trouble. Cornelius Vanderbilt is said to be respon-
sible for the story told Of the Italian dictator. Well,
Cornelius has a parrot tongue. He has been getting
himself in trouble for 20 years. But just think OF the
publicity ne is getting in connection with the gallant
American general and the uncrowned king OF all the
Romans. This would be a dull old world IL parrot
tongued men didn't bob up at intervals to remind
their fellows that life is a Joke when ID isn't q tragedy,
and that Henry Ford was right when ne said that a
lot Of stuff that passes as history is mere bunk.

Boston bankers are sign readers and interpreters. A
tax on the wealth Of the nation would be a dole. An
appeal to the generous OF the nation would be an net

Mai. Petsch in the Picture

Rep. Petsch OF the Gillespie district is In the pic
ture. He is the idol of the Hill country and ever on
the firing line. He has q resolution pending calling
for data on taxes paid 10 the state BY certain public
service corporations together with valuation figures
based in assessing their property. State Comptroller
Sheppard Is asked 70 furnish the same. Lines OF
business covered BY the resolution are railroads. ex-
press companies. pipeline companies, telegraph and
telephone corporations, gas companies and the power
and light companies.
Maj. Petsch asserts that no summary or total taxes
levied and collected on public utilities has ever been
made and that THE house has no authoritative basis
for comparing the tax burden on public utility prop
erty with other property in the state" He backs up
his demands by declaring ut is only by such corr
parlson that equality and justice In taxation can be
determined" There are surface signs that the And
legislature promises TO be a history maker. OF course
surface signs have been known to disappear Just as
the mist disappears on a morning In snringtime.
