ANYWAY ANDY Is CONSISTENT

Secretary of the Treasury Andrew
Mellon who is a friend and Santa
Claus to the men and interests of
large incomes and has labored con-
sistently along those lines especially
since he became a member of the
American official family, comes out
with advice for making up the def
cit in the treasury during the past
year. In the face of the well known
facts that America has the greatest
number of individuals in the million
aire class in the world history, Mr..
Mellon shows by his statement that
he desires to place an increasing pro-
the man of average means. If this
were done it would decrease the pur-
chasing power of the thousands
those who are now keeping some of
the money in circulation-and would
certainly not be benefit in our pres
ent period of depression.
The statement from Mr.. Mellon
comes in for criticism by many, among
whom are Senators Borah, Hull, and
Couzens. The latter, while he is the
richest man in the senate, wants to
see the income tax function for the
best interests of the masses and la
bors with that in view, much to his
credit. Income taxes should be paid
largely by those accommodating for
tunes. Surtaxes should be high and
it is we'll to have a stiff Inheritance
tax.
There were more than five hundred
persons in the United States who had
a net income of from one to five mil
lion dollars each last year. Thirty
six had more than five million dollars
each-an increase of ten in this class
over that of the year before, when
there were twenty-six.
AS long as accumulation of wealth
through private profit goes on, these
means, or methods, of redistributing
wealth (the income tax and inherit
ance tax will prevent unlimited CEN
tralization and it's disastrous conse-
quences; and as there is no other
remedy in sight, they are necessary in
order to avoid disaster. Goldsmith
wrote:
I'LL fares the land, to fastening ills
prey,
Where wealth accumulates. and men
decay"
History teaches, and wise men in
every age and country have uttered
the warning, that these two things
centralized wealth and decay-always
go hand in hand.
Some folks will argue that all taxes
are passed on by the wealthy and for
that reason there is no use of taxing
them heavily. Sales taxes are easily
passed on but not so with the income
taxes, especially if the rates are high
enough. Congress will be watched
closely when it meets again. Folks
will want to know that their repre-
sentatives are not voting for smaller
exemptions and that the rates are
kept up or raised, especially on the
higher incomes.

men everywhere are awakening to the
danger confronting the world in huge
ornaments and the vicious military
propaganda in the press and in the
schools, and are preparing to combat
it.
Illustrative of this militant stand
of church leaders which is causing
the disseminators of war propaganda
no small alarm is the statement made
in Madison by Rev. H. H. Lunpkin
of Grace Episcopal church last week.
| In public address, Rev. Lumpkin
urged that war resistance" be taught
| to the young,-the children whose
minds are in the formative period.
Rev. Lumpkin advocated that the chill
| dren and youth of the nation be taught
that war is wrong and the most eff
fective way to prevent it is for the
people to refuse to fight at the bid
ding of the war lords.
This same determination of church.
men to oppose war was shown at a
recent conference of ministers held
recently at Syracuse, New York, at
which a large number, of signatures
were obtained to the following petition
renouncing war:
1--WE pastors of churches in the
State of New York, assembled in an
| nual conference, being aware of the
critical condition prevailing in inter-
national relations, and that our ma
| ton has joined other nations in the
Pact of Paris, by which we have mu-
tually and solemnly agreed never
again to resort to war as a method
of settling international disputes,
therefore pledge ourselves to work
| conscientiously for major reduction
of ornaments to be achieved through
the forthcoming world disarmament
conference, and to work necessarily in
| our communities for the adoption Of
in particular, arbitration and concili-
alton through the World Court and
the League of Nations. Furthermore
we pledge ourselves not to sanction
or participate in any future war;"
Such declarations on the part Of
thousands of ministers the country
over would go far toward making a
future war impossible by creating an
invincible public opinion against it.
So long as those who are our religious
leaders show themselves willing to
fall for the explanations and excuses
of the war propaganda, the path to
| permanent peace will be made that
much more difficult to travel.

present civilization is built on the
wonderful mechanical devices that do
an increasing amount of the worlds
work. But these same devices, by
augmenting unemployment and bring
ing suffering and want to the workers
they displace, are not entirely bless
ing. When one hears of such situa-
tions as might have existed at La
Crosse, one is almost moved to say
that they are curse.

BOARDING is ON
DECLINE, BANK
REPORTS SHOW
Hoover'S Financial Relief
Program Succeeding;
Optimism Grows.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O-Presi-
dent Hoover's financial relief pro-
gram was beginning to make itself
felt today.
There were definite indications it
is making Roadway in it's two OBJ
Notwithstanding the coun-
try's financial structure and pulling
boarded millions out of the sock,
from under the mattress, and out Of
the safety deposit vault.
A trickle of money back into the
banks was indicated in federal
reserve report showing a decrease
Of $24,000,00O in money in circula-
ton" during the last week, the first
favorable trend in this index Of
boarding in the months since a
series of bank failures started the
curve steadily upward.
Bank Failures Decrease
Any change in money in circula-
ton" reflects the trend of hoardings
either up or down as the nedes Of
business do not justify any increase.
The figures does not tell the whole
story, as there usually is a seasonal
increase in circulation at this time
for fall business, and therefore the
actual drop in circulation is per-
haps greater.
Along with indications that re-
stored confidence is leading people
to put their money back into the
banks came the additional sign of
improved conditions in a decrease in
bank failures.
While complete figures have not
been tabulated, failures for October
will be fewer than in September.
This seems to indicate the peak has
been reached.
Other Factors Encouraging
Government officials were en-
couraged over these developments,
coupled as they are with other IA
vorable factors-a steadying of the
stock market, a pickup in retail
trade, and checking of the with
drawals of gold to foreign countries.
Treasury officials said today that
creation of the National Credit Cor
poration, which is beginning to
function, has served to bolster up
confidence.
They explained that the imni-
nence of relief through this agency
has had a good effect by leading
strong banks to lend a hand to
weaker banks in the community
meanwhile, an additional measure
of relief growing from the larger
program.
Huge Sum Still HOarded
The amount of boarded money
still is large, slightly over billion
dollars. This is the difference be-
tween the amount of money in cir
culation a year ago and that today,
which is $5,4SO, 100000.
Gold Withdrawals during the last
week totaled only $39,000O00 COM
pared with $99,000000 the previous
week and $218,OO0,OOO the week be-
fore.
They are expected to be reduced
to a minimum soon, as result of
the understanding between the fed
eral reserve bank of New York and
the Bank of France reached recent
ly in connection with the visit of
Premier Laval to this country.

SAVINGS CLUBS
Aid to Business Revival Is
Seen in Checks to 14,060
Depositors in City.

Nearly a half million dollars will
be released into city trade channels
at the end of this month, to help in
prosperity's return, when Indian
apolis banks begin mailing Christ
mas savings account checks to de-
positors.
A total of 14,060 depositors will
share in the fortune of more than
S470,000, it was indicated today as
The Times obtained figures from
thirty-one city banks.
The average check thus will be
about $33, although in reality the
greater number of the checks will
be for $50 or more.
Mailing Dates Vary
This discrepancy is accounted for
by the frequency with which good
intentions fail, and depositors neglect
TO continue paying on accounts they
have opened.
While time of sending out the
checks varies with different banks
from as early as late November to
as late as Dec. 10, most of the
checks will be mailed Dec. l.
While the number of checks and
the total amount to be distributed
is somewhat less than in times of
prosperity, nevertheless, release of
this flood of gold into the stores in
purchase of Christmas articles is
expected to play a definite part in
the return of better times.
