Sticks to His Friends

Sound arrived. Plenty of
theaters and practically all
showmen were leary Of the
proposition-but not Jones. If
the concern that he had strung
along with all these years was
putting out sound pictures, that
was good enough for him.
He wired his theater imme-
diately. He. was the first man
to pounce upon the oppor-
tunity, and it was unquestion-
ably he who made the talkie a
success in his part Of the
country. While other houses
were still skeptical. customers
were crowding Jones house to
see and hear the great novelty.
From the motion picture out
fit came many words of con-
gratulations. They we're now
taking more notice of Jones
than ever before. Pictures from
all the executives of the con-
Germ began to arrive in Jones'
office. The president wrote on
his that Jones was his pal and
friend through the years, and
the others inscribed similar
sentiments.
It was only natural that
Jones should be very proud Of
these photos. He placed them
all on his office wall, and
gazed at them tenderly every
now and then. When a visitor
was sitting with him. he would
point to the pictures and nod
happily.
Sure of Gratitude
"Those are men," he would
sigh. Real men. They never
forgot what I did for them in
the old days. Not they. They're
too real and honest and sim
cere. Not like the other people
in show business.
when I helped them out
with money years ago, people
told me I was crazy. I went
right ahead. When I saw the
value of their pictures in
sound, and wired my theater in
a hurry, people again told me
I was crazy. But I went right
ahead.
"And those pictures are my
answer. Those men love me
for what I have done for them.
They know they have a real
friend. 1t only goes to prove
that, when you are really loyal
to the right people, you can
never go wrong"
Chapter three-and the black
out. Came the year 1929, and
dark days just around the
corner. The motion picture
business started into a nose
dive from which it has never
quite recovered. And it was

accommodation to those whose annual
income tax is less than 500, with the
anne conditions applying to those
whose tax is above 500, six per cent
interest on the deferred payment.
In view Of the higher income tax
rates in effect this year, together with
the annual burdens many small in
come tax payers have had to shoulder
because of the existing conditions,
doubtless it is going to be a hardship
on many whose tax is even less tasn
500 to pay the full amount at one
time, proportionately as much SO as it
would be 80 many larger taxpayers.
This belief should be extended to all,
since the state does not need and does
not use all of its income tax revenue
at one time, and the interest on defer
red payments doubtless would cover
the extra expense to the revenue de
partment.

he has admitted the fact he has advocated a
number of fairly radical measures to remedy
the situation, and he has rejected a number
of proposals made by others. Let us consider
in detail the more important projects, both
among those he has accepted and those he has
rejected, to see what they possess in common
that may indicate the direction in which Mr..
Hoover's mind moves.
First among the projects Mr.. Hoover ia
vored was the moratorium, which relieved the
international situation somewhat, but lett a
hole of some $780, 900, 900 in our own budget.
Next was the farm loan project, which put
the credit of the Government and a consid-
cradle amount of the taxpayers money at the
disposal of the agriculturists.
Then came the Finance Reconstruction Cor
p%oration, which similarly disposed of $780,
900, 900 cash and 500, 600, 900 credit for
the benefit of bankers and industrialists.
Finally came the Glass-Steagall bill, which
puts the credit of the Government behind GER
tain classes of bank loans, but which is so du-
bious a measure that one of its authors, SEN
ator Glass, has stated frankly that he expects
it to do little or no good.
All these measures have W things in COM
mon: first, they all involve spending the tax
payers money, multiplying jobholders, and
spreading the Governments credit out thin
ner and thinner; second, not one OF them sets
a wheel turning in industry, or increases by
one dollar the buying power OF the masses OF
the people.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hoover has fatty
refused to advocate a cut in Federal Jobhold-
ers' pay.
He has fatty refused to consider a general
revision of the tariff, which every economist
knows has something to do with our troubles,
while many believe that it is one of the prin-
cipal causes of distress.
He has fatty refused to consider the one
practical scheme advanced to provide at the
same time a large number of jobs for the I'M
employed, and a large stream of new revenue
for the Federal Treasury, namely, the legallza-
ton of beer.
If Mr.. Hoover, then, has consistently ia
vored spending more money, hiring more tax
eaters and depicting the credit of the coun-
try, and has as consistently opposed every eff
fort to get at the seat of the trouble regard
less of politics, does it lie in his mouth to crltl-
CHE the bears in the stock market?

THE RECORD

President Hoover apparently has found a
new personal devil responsible for all the ills
that beset us in the bear traders on the stock
market. Bears are those gamblers who bet that
prices will go down, and in the last few days
they have been winning consistently. But be-
fore we accept Mr.. Hoover's word that it is
their betting that has caused prices to sink
we should carefully assess what Mr.. Hoover
has done to sustain price.
1t took Mr.. Hoover a long time to realize
that the depression actually exists. His first
attitude, after the crash of 1929, was to as
sumo that it was a mere furry, and he chung
to that theory for many months. But since

GRUDGES

Grudges usually originate from some serious
incident such as, for instance, that one person
says something unpleasant about another per-
son to a third person. Then the person about
whom the unpleasant thing has been said hap
pens to say to the third person that in his or
her opinion the first person is very nice per-
son.
So very naturally the third person replies
"You wouldn't say that if you knew what he
or she said about you" That, of course, pro-
duces the grudge. Once a grudge is produced
it is likely to lead to many embarrassing stu
atoms, as people who bear grudges against each
other are invited to the same party and find
themselves sitting next to each other very
probably, or else they. are walking along the
street and come suddenly face to face.
Then it is up to the person who bears the
grudge to decide very quickly whether to speak
at all or whether to nod stiffly and formally.
The person against whom the grudge is borne
naturally wonders what is wrong with the
other person and whether the GOODNESS is acct
dental or intended and asks another person.
And the other person replies that it was prob
ably not intended, but due to the fact that
he OF she has had financial reverses or a good
deal of sickness in the family and was not pay
ing attention.
But after several encounters the person
against whom the grudge is borne realizes that
the GOODNESS is intentional, and after thinking
it over decides that he or she will just walk
right up to him or her and say "Now look
here. What's the matter? Then the person
bearing the grudge explains that it is because
of what the other has said and on being press
ed confesses that it was the third person who
told.
So then the person who bears the grudge
and the person against whom it is borne make
up and become good friends and agree that
the third person is a trouble maker and they
will have nothing more to do with him or her.
The grudge is transferred to the third person
and remains so until he or she makes amends
and passes the grudge on to somebody else.

VALUES THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY

VALUES THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
Sometimes we wonder what would be the
effect if things should go on about as they are
now indefinitely. How much worse off would
we be as a people if the present standards of
income should prove permanent?
1t all depends, it seems to us, on where you
stand when you look at the world. If you're
standing on a dollar-mark things are pretty
bad right now. But there are other points OF
view. Why do we want prosperity to returnP
SO we can all have more money. but II we
had more money, what would we do with 1t?
1t seems to us that during those boom years
when money, for a lot of people, was easy to
get, it proved to be pretty hard to hold. And
from what we saw and heard and read about
what people did with their money, especially
people who had never had any experience with
money before, it didn't do many of them much
good. On the contrary, it seems to us, it was
a genuinely bad influence. And is there any
reason to believe that people, speaking gen.
orally, would get any more lasting value out
of easy money if boom times came back? We
think not.
Of course, we want everybody to have a
job. We not only hope that but we expect
that conditions will change SO that there will
be no unemployment to the extent OF wide
spread distress and privation. And we realize
that there will always be some people who
will have more money than they know what
to do with, and who will continue to spend
it foolishly. But it does seem to us that in the
effort to make everybody rich our system has
not succeeded in making anybody very happy;
and we wonder whether we have not some
how, as a people, lost our grip on the more en-
during things of life in the struggle for the
mighty dollar.
There are spiritual values which are i'm
mensely more important than riches, which
are not at all dependent upon wealth, which,,
in fact, are likely to be destroyed by the posses
sion of more money than is needed to keep
the body warm and fed. Perhaps these lean
years may prove to have had a disciplinary
value in turning peoples thoughts away from
mere pleasure to the soberer but more import
ant things of life.
