TAX RICH MORE
CANADIAN LOWER
HOUSE DEMANDS

Ottawa ILNSs-After increasing
interest rates on Dominion loans and
incidentally forcing the provinces co
pay as high as 6 per cent on new
loans, the Bennett government has cut
| by 10 per cent the pay of all federal
employees except judges and the
Royal Canadian mounted police. The
credit and integrity of Canada must
be protected at all costs, Premier
Bennett declares.
Even the farmers representatives
in parliament denounced the govern
ment's new policy of wage cutting as
setting a bad example and curtailing
purchasing power while the crying
need is an increase of purchasing
power.
By way of protest against the gov
ernment's concern for the welfare of
the monied interests, the United
Farmers sponsored resolution de-
claring that in the opinion of the
house of commons the government
should at once increase taxes on the
bigger incomes. 1t is probably sig
| nifcant of the feeling aroused that
the house adopted the resolution.
Whether the government will take
heed remains to be seen when the
budget is brought down.
Wealth Badly Distributed
simultaneously with the govern
ment's revelation of it's policy of rigid
economy, the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, government body, an
nounced that the national wealth was
80 billions and the national income
six billions. The population being ten
millions, the percapita national in
come is 5000, or $4,000 per family of
| five.
But the national income is so badly
distributed that despite the expendi-
ture of $15O,000,000 on public relief
works during the last two winters, it
is estimated that there are over 5OO,-
900 out of work, and many more only
partially employed.
Now Bennett repudiates his promise
to end unemployment, declaring that
Canadian prosperity must await world
recovery. There are signs OF i'm
| patience with this attitude.
Higher Wages Would Help
Why, it is being asked, should hum
dreds of thousands suffer because the
| farmers cannot sell wheat at profit
able price in foreign markets? It
there had been anything like an
equitable distribution of the national
income, there would have been such
demand for quality foodstuffs IN
the home market that many farmers
would have turned from wheat pro-
duction for foreign markets to the
production of quality foods for the
home markets; and the present dlslo-
cation of the national economy would
have been avoided. If the Canadian
urban workers received higher wages
they would be able to buy better
quality farm products and the farm
ers could curtail grain growing and
produce better food for the home
market.

Henry Hodges was real true union
man, ever cherishing the spirit, ideals
and principles of trade unionism. He
was molder by trade and was Il
member of Molders' Local Union No.
283. He represented this organization
in Trades Council many years, and
was just recently vice president of
the central body, which position he
only relinquished when, in his desire
to regain good health, he went to
Arizona and later Texas. This effort
proving futile, he returned home and
his many friends were saddened TO
note that the end was not far off for
this kind and beloved fellow worker.
He was also affiliated with the Red
Men, Eagles, Moose, Friendship Aid
and Crescent Aid societies, and was
loyal member of the First Baptist
Church.
The great number of visitors to the
funeral home Wednesday afternoon
and evening, and those attending the
services at the home, church and
cemetery Thursday, together with
the many floral tokens of sympathy,
but attest the esteem, respect and
love in which Henry Hodges was held
by his friends, neighbors and all who
knew him.
He is survived by the widow, Mrs.
Josephine Hodges, one daughter,
Marie; one son, Earl; one brother,
Luther Hodges, and one sister, Mrs.
E. F. Witt, of Tennessee, to whom the
Butler County Press wishes to extend
the great sympathy of all the men,
bers of the entire Hamilton organ
lied labor movement.

New York.-The Amtorg Trading

stated that despite announcements
that at present American mechanics
are not engaged for work in the So
Wet union, thousands of applications
continue to pour into the office.

the cessation for the time being Of
hiring American skilled workers for

porary shortage of living quarters.

New Highs Registered by
Some LeaderS-Tax
Selling Subsidies.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, December 30.-Stocks
closed strong today after a session Of
slow and interrupted advances. For the
leaders new highs on the current recov-
cry were reached.
Volume was much less than that OF
the day before, but this was due to q
let-up in the tax selling, all such
transactions today being for cash IN
stead of in the regular way.
There was no news to account for
the better feeling toward the share list.
Perhaps it was relief at the approach
ing end of disastrous year At any
rate. the rally met little opposition.
The market opened firm and scored
fractional advances in the first hour,
most of which, however had been re-
duced by noon. At the opening there
was buying of the chemical and the
aircraft shares and of a few rails.
Short covering went on in American
Telephone and other stocks IN which
contracts for the decline we're out
standing
Then the market was unsettled by
oS-AAAA6 "a Ol4C COOdCCO SHARES.
The report Of price war In the Gig
arctic trade was revived and made the
excuse for the liquidation. Liggett &;
Myers Glass 'B" dropped between 4 and
points. American Tobacco issues fol-
lowed with a somewhat smaller loss,
and eventually the disturbance extended
to the whole group
Transactions as they appeared on the
tape showed good-sized proportion Of
cash sales. to be settled today and so
to be included in the years books rep
resenting belated income tax loss re-

ence in price between the cash sales
and between those for delivery next
Tuesday.
The constructive side Of the market
was represented by a scattering of Is
sues in nearly all groups Standard of
New Jersey was the firm spot in the
oil list, New York Central and Penn
sylvania among the rails and Kenne-
colt among the coppers. There was no
reason why any one should be in a
hurry to buv copper shares, but they
had a somewhat better appearance. The

been so noticeable earlier in the week.

BROKERAGE FIRMS

MANY Veterans OF Wall Street
Trading Are Retiring From
Business.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, December 3o-Moving
men and sign painters were busy in
Wall Street today as banking and
brokerage firms moved, after having
contracted. expanded, merged, dissolved
or set up to start business, in line with
year -end predictions.
Many old-timers, having seen their
firms through the difficult years of the
depression, are leaving the financial
district. Contrary to popular opinion,
however, many of the members of ex-
changes here that joined in 1928 or
1929 are still members today.
Between October. 1928. and October
1929. there were lit transfers of Stock
Exchange memberships, of which rs
retain their seats. From February %,
1929, to october 10, 1929, there w-re
218 members elected by transfer of
rights" Such members had to buy
four rights" to obtain seat. OF these
167 are still members today. Hence, OF
the total of 1886 new members since
October, 1928, only SO have dropped
out.
In 1928 and 1929 there were los Curb
Exchange memberships transferred. OF
these sc retain their memberships
today.
OF course, in both exchanges many
of the seats purchased during 1928
and 1929 were acquired by large houses
because the increased volume of trad
ing then made their floor representa-
ton inadequate. These firms were
financially strong enough to maintain
those memberships
The value of Stock Exchange men,
bership on February 18, 1929, reached
a peak of s625,000, including rights
to cne-quarter Of a new membership
Thus the 1,100 memberships of that
date had market valuation OF $687,-
100000. Today the 1875 memberships
are valued at 100000 each, or total
of $141 .625 900.
The value of the $50 Curb Exchange
memberships at their peak of $254, ,00O
on September %, 1929, was $l39, 700, 900
Their value today at $4,000 each is
$16,500,0OO.
