By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK. May IL G.NS00.
Wall Street had the big brass
band out at the head Of the
"bull market" parade yesterday.
Chart readers went hopping
around in raptures as the in
dustrial averages went through
the top of last summers highs,
which technically means that all
IS supposed to be clear.
About every one is getting fancy
ideas, but we would be inclined
to look them over on another
splurge and probably take few
profits.
A good deal of the tipping of
the utilities seems to be due to
the fact that they're the only
group still under the years
highs.
If they break through, this is
supposed to confirm the bull
trend. We're beginning to hear
things like DUPONT is a gift at
50" and There's Is points in
American Telephone" that make
us draw our horns in a little. =.
The way things look, though, it
would be just as safe wrestling
with a grizzly as thinking of going
short. All honor to the lowly
hog, which helped the spree in
the packing shares.
Rumor has it that big specu-
lative group is beginning to sell
General Motors short on a scale
up.

very active today with substantial
quantities of print cloths. carded

Mills were hesitant in selling future
deliveries and as result buyers found
1T difficult to place large orders. Esti-

figures with sales running farther
ahead of production than at any
time during the present year.
Many mills were selling only 25
per cent of July production at the
advances and then withdrawing from

EXEMPTIONS DENIED
ON SALES TAXES
Manufacturers Must Pay on
Interstate Business.

Indiana manufacturers must pay
the One-fourth of l per cent tax
on gross sales, including interstate
business, unless the courts rule to
the contrary.
Governor Paul V. McNutt has
again denied plea of group of
manufacturers that they be exempt
on interstate sales.
Attorneys for the manufacturers,
including Frank McHale, leading
McNutt administration adviser,
placed their exemption proposal be-
fore Clarence Jackson, sales tax
collector Friday morning.
Jackson took it up with McNutt
in the afternoon and the Cover
nor'S ruling was announced
promptly.
In statement on his stand the
chief executive pointed out that
this is a $4,000 900 problem" and
the money has been counted on for
state revenue, which must now
finance teacher costs in the public
schools.
Placing the rate on manufac-
turerS at one-fourth of l per cent,
while income of employees and re-
tail merchants is l per cent, was
done purpoSely to avoid such eX-
emptions, the Governor pointed out.

ajority of the reduction will be
by falling to renew contracts with
teachers with low success grades
and those who are married, who
have not taught long enough to be
under provisions of the teacher
tenure act.
The remainder of the staff cut
will result from voluntary resigna-
tons and leaves of absence.
The reduction in the teaching
staff will be accomplished by in
creasing the teaching load of the
remaining teachers, a practice
which has been followed for several
years during which fHt few vacan-
cies have been filed.
The staff during the last school
years was about fifty teachers less
than it was two years ago, it is re-
ported. With the contemplated re-
auctions for next year, the staff will
be reduced below 1850
List of teachers to receive con-
tracts for next year is being pre-
pared by Stetson, and will be sub
mitted to the board for approval
within the next week or two, it was
indicated.

The only element which has hene-

plea for a repeal victory Tuesday
when Indiana votes on retention OF
rejection of the eighteenth amend

Landon is a member of the state

Indianapolis Community Fund and
Vlce-president and chairman of the

Tor repeal victory.
Fair Trial Brings Failure
The advocates of prohibition
asked for fair trial of the
eighteenth amendment" Landon
pointed out. We'll we have given
1t trial for more than twelve
years. Not a single one of the
benefits they promised has ma
terialized.
There Is more drinking than be-
fore the law was passed, and drink
ing of hard liquor. Crime has in
creased until our jails and prisons
are crowded beyond their limits
Violation of law has become fash
ionable.
The bootlegger, the neighbour
hood Speakeasy, and the unSpeak-
able racketeer are only a few of
the products of the law. Worse
than all these is the increase Of
the tax burden until it has become
unoearable, with the result in such
enormous delinquencies that MANY
cities and some states are so bank
rupt that legal reputation of their
Obligations is pressed on congress.
Politics, Law Corrupted
Politics has been corrupted
Even the sacred precincts of the
law and the administration Of
justice have been contaminated. 1t
is time we tried some other method
of liquor control.

sense of the American people to
believe that we can work out this
problem satisfactorily, once we get
rid of the cause of our rouble.
