Income Taxes Shrink
Along With Incomes

As boneheaded means of raising money the Federal
income tax takes first prize.
The third insament of this freak among producing
measures was due last Friday September Is.
Collections $6900o00O LESS than for the time
last year.
Why?
Because incomes have shrunk There fewer persons

You might think that Washington would wake up to this
fact and try that would be fair painless and productive

pocket. Actually it comes out
of many pockets.
Hundreds of workers and
business people have to live on
less if you buy a dress for
$4.98. When they live on less,
that cuts out their margin for
spending. If they can't spend
somebody can't manufacture
and somebody can't rent and
somebody can't put money in
the banks.
And so it goes, on and on,
in a vicious circle; and, pres
emily, stores are standing empty
and banks are failing and H.
100000 people are out of a job.
Then does that mean you
shouldn't buy that new dress.
Not at all. Buy a dozen Of
them, if you can. Buy some
of those that are advertised in
this paper today and urge every
woman you know to do so. If
enough of us will buy dresses
and other merchandise, AT
ANY PRICE, good times will
come back in a hurry.
But, as you buy, don't for
get what that cheap dress really
means. It doesn't mean merely
a lucky break for you. 1t
means hard times all along the
line, from the little working
girl to the big business man.
It means depression.
Seeks Employment
"I suppose that's right" you
say reluctantly. But that
isn't the only reason. I hear
a lot of people say it's the
fault of the workers, too. They
say the workers want too high
wages, and that things can't
get started until they are will
ing to work for less; but they
aren't willing.
For example. yesterday a
young fellow came by our place
asking for work. The garden
looked awful and I said I'd
give him a dollar if he'd clean
it up. We used to pay our old
gardener 81 a day, I thought
I was lucky to get this fellow
for 81 but what he did
wasn't even worth that. He
went about it as if he didn't
care. Didn't seem to have any
pride in doing it right. And my
friends tell me that that's the
way with most of these fellows
who want a job"
Yes. I suppose it is. And can
you blame them? I suspect
that I, too. would "go about
things as If I didn't care" if
I had to accept starvation
wages and discard all my
standards of living.
Cheap wages don't make Just
cheap clothes. They make
cheap standards. They make
cheap lives. They make lives
without hope, or ambition, or
pride. They bankrupt people
in self-respect, as we'll as in
money.

Mr.. Hoover With
The Exploiters

Roosevelt proposes through
Federal regulation and the
ending Of swindling through
publicity, to enforce the
utility rates down to a rea-
sonable and fair figure
and that is all.
Throughout the twelve
years of his service as Cabl-
net member and President,
Mr.. Hoover has gone along
Sympathetically and aggres-
sively with the explolters;
fighting their battles openly
refusing to enforce the Fed
eral Water Power act; max
ing speeches in utility con-
ventions against Federal
regulation. But he has dis
covered that there are more
voters among the consumers
than among those who have
been exploiting the con-
sumers. Thus he has now
come out for Federal regu-
lation, eating his own words

lated by the hundreds Of

ups and downs and the Ad-

The Public
Is Interested

And yet Roosevelt says at
Portland he prefers private
operation with proper public
control; but that where a
community is convinced that
a monopolistic utility is less
advantageous to their inter-
est than public ownership
would be, they must have
the right to operate their
own plant.
Is all this of interest to
the ordinary man? The use
of electrical power is now
almost general in all homes
even in the country. Pub
lie utilities affect the purse
in almost every home. Last
year out of the pockets Of
consumers more than $4,000
100000 were passed to public
utilities-which means an
average of $133 from every
family in the land.
So the public is interested,
whether it realizes it or not,
to the tune of four billion
dollars a year.
But the rates are fixed to
pay dividends on stock
watered by the hundreds Of
millions and, with such reg
ulation as we have, monopo-
listic greed exacts toll
ridiculously more than it
should.

Played the Game
OF the Interests

These people who engaged
in this infamous business
are now arrayed unitedly
against Roosevelt and for
Mr.. Hoover. This is be-
cause the former has the
public interest and the lat
ter the private interest view
Of the issue.
Year after year, while
Secretary Of Commerce, Mr..
Hoover was a favorite guest
and speaker at the conven-
tions of these power and
utility people; in every
speech he scornfully de-
nounced Federal regulation;
in all of them he praised
the things that Roosevelt
says must stop. He played
the game of the interests
against the people in the
case of the St. Lawrence;
and in the case Of Muscle
Shoals, and he packed the
Power Commission against
the public interest.
That is the reason Wall
Street is for Hoover and
against Roosevelt.

just how there can be
real recovery of business
with forty million involved
in unemployment and with
out purchasing capacity is
something beyond the ordi-
nary intellect. We are not
so much interested in the
manipulation Of stocks as in
the notice that "the coming
winter is certain to be more
severe as far as unemploy-
ment distress is concerned
than last winter" But Gun
employment distress" has
never interested the Hoover
administration so much as
the rise and fall Of stocks.
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech at
Portland on public utilities
and power is one of his
strongest and one that ap-
peals most strongly to the
self interest of every man
and woman in the land. Be-
cause of his position on this
subject he has been pictured
by Wall Street propagandists
and publicists as a radical
and dangerous man.
No one of ordinary COM
mon sense, or with any civic
consciousness, can read the
Portland speech and find
anything in it to cause alarm
among honest men. 1t may
be alarming to the plumber
bund of the utilities who
have succeeded so long
through the watering OF
stock and the ruthless use OF
monopolistic power, with the
sympathy Of a government
that has betrayed the people,
in exploiting the millions of
consumers. Mr.. Roosevelt
takes the position that the
peoples power resources be-
long to the people and must
not be turned over for the
peoples exploitation.
He stands for the Federal
regulation Of these utilities.
He proposes to end the
shameless undercover manip-
ulations by throwing the
light of publicity on "capi-
tai issues of stocks, bonds
and other securities, liabili-
ties and Indebtedness, and
capital investment and fire.

 Modelling

Miss Teresa Bohlsnan, well known Seattle artist, renowned as an ex- ponent of the Tress Craft method of modelling is making a brief visit to Juneau. She has the dis tinction of having perfected way of making tressa mask, which is formed of clay and moulded to represent the features of an indi- vidual When the clay has hard ened it is painted and some such material as yarn or fur for hair is attached to 1t.
 Mounted on Plaque
 The mask is then mounted on a plaque, which is painted and decorated with designs portraying important events or achievements in the life of persons whose fea- lures are modelled.
 The method employed by Miss Bohlman can be easily made plain to young folks who quickly can be taught to adapt their talents to this form of self expression. They take delight in moulding the faces of the newspaper comic strip char acters as well as of the famous personages of history and of their own immediate relatives m friends.
 To Organize Class Here Miss Bohlman has organized numerous classes of young persons in Seattle and in other cities of the Pacific Coast, usually limiting the ages of the pupils from T to IT years.
 She contemplates the formation of a class in Juneau. She has engaged rooms at the Gastineau botel.

 ON PROBE OF
 N. '. EXCHANGE
President Whitney De- clares Some Testimony
 Is Misleading
SENATE COMMITTEE
 DID NOT GET FACTS
Abuses Are Being Recti- fled Short Selling
 Produces Results

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Asser1ting that much of the testimony pres ented before the Senate Stock Ex- change Investigating Com m ttee was misleading" Richard Whitney, President of the New York Stock Exchange, has filed a report with the Governors of the Exchange. He said he was not permitted to re- appear before the Senate Commit tee to make reply to claims Of alleged disclosures made in the tes- timony and in fairness to the members of the Exchange he was making a final report to the gov erning board.
 Misstatements
 President Whit ney pointed to "misstatements in the records Of the investigation" and said he did not wish to appear too critical but the New York Stock Exchange has been endeavoring for years to cor rect abuses of trading and in its listing of requirements it had, in many instances "been in advance of public opinion. We welcomed full publicity because we are con- fident if the real facts are under stood and the problems which con- fronted us are appreciated, the public would realize that the Ex- change, by maintaining in spite of all obstacles, a free and open mar ket for securities, it rendered a great service to the nation"
 Abuses Condemned
 Whitney condemned certain abus- es of power by some individuals and insisted the Exchange has been and is moving to improve certain practices as rapidly as prac- ticable
 Whitney condemned one abuse disclosed at the hearing showing money was paid employees of the press by persons either "speculating in or distributing securities"
 On Short Selling
 The Exchange President in his report further insisted that short selling made it possible to keep the Stock Market functioning throughout the depression. Had we banned short selling in 1881 or 1882, as urged, we would not have had the necessary buying power to help the United States through what seems now to have been the last stages of the greatest of de- preSsions."
