. AS SLOCKSN|TH

The Wizard Locksmith Com
pany Of 2812 Fourteenth st. N.
W., is one Of Columbia Heights
businesses known throughout the
city. The company was eStab-
lished In 1920 by e. L. Hord, who

Hord has had a wide expert
ence IN the protection and safe
guarding Of property. He has
made an exhaustive study Of
every known locking device and
thoroughly understands safe COM
bination locks. He is frequently

tionS and owners of private safes,

ploys a special set Of tools for

does without destruction to the
safe itself.
Hord is also active in civic at.
fairs and is a member Of the

York, Chicago, Los Angeles and
Philadelphia as a means Of pro-
tecting the public.
He says "the losses suffered
hv residents NJ tha niSkyict
through burglary are often due
to faulty locks. The small cost Of
expert repairing or replacement is
offset many times by the protec-
tion and security guaranteed by
q good lock-"

REVIEW BLAMES

The failure Of Congress to take
any steps toward balancing the
budget is listed BY Bradstreet's
IS one Of three unfavorable fac
tors in the business situation. The
others are the increase in bank
Closings in the past three weeks
and stagnation In security mar
kets.
Favorable Factors Seen
The review called Developments
Of the week on the whole con-
structive. The sharp decline in
storage meat and dairy products
was hailed as an augury of an
early reversal in the commodity
price trend.
Paradoxically, Bradstreet's de-
clared the current impotence OF
Congress had its helpful phases,
since there were still too many
people who were hoping for
"nliracle-working legislation from
the national chamber"
UnwOrried Over Budget
The review declared recovery IN
previous depressions had always
started before the national budget
was balanced. possible now only
through an increase in taxes, and
that the present deficit was
caused largely BY emergency
items, many Of q capital nature.
It commented:
I'm 50 far as pressure Is ex-
erted upon the Government for
the purpose Of pruning expendi-
lures, and for this there Is am
pie room, it is wholesome"
Dun's Finds Gains
Dun's reported q a.further slight
Improvement In industrial prodtc-
ton and appreciable broadening
in wholesale buying. Shoe orders
were rising substantially, it was
stated, while textiles were expe-
T1encing q moderate demand.
A spirit Of rising confidence was
seen with the hesitancy Of the

July
In Sales Tax

Final collections will run the
sale tax collections for July
to around s550,0OO, says A. ].
Maxwell, commissioner of revenue.
MI. Maxwell on Friday issued
this statement about the state of
revenue:
1.-The August revenue collections
for general and highway funds
are reasonably satisfactory. Gen
eral fund collections require some
explanatory comment. There Is
an important shortage in August
collection of corporation franchise
taxes, as compared with August
Of last year. This is on account of
the delay in corporation reports due
to the fact that this is a re-assess-
ment year, and does not represent
a shrinkage in revenue. Elimi-
mating this temporary shortage
there is an average increase in gen
eral funds collections, without in

Vermont Votes
2 to | For Repea

There are many factors which
the first months collections
of sales tax substantially less than
will be realized from it in subse-
quent month";. Payment of. the
tax was made in August by 11,7o7
merchants, based on July sales.
Time sales made in July will be in
cluded in subsequent months as
they are paid. There has been a
total registration under the act Of
merchants, and several
thousand will yet be added to this
list. All of these whose tax is less
than $40 per month are only re-
quired to make quarterly reports.
THE departmental estimate is
that final collections on July sales
will approximate $55o,ooo and
that this will be heavily increased
for other trading months to ap-
proximate the total annual estimate
of eight million dollars yield in the
fax.

Just Action
Promised By
President
Small as Well as Large Banks to
Share Privileges.
INJUS1ICES TO BE AVOIDED
Made to Insure As Many
Non-Membersbib Banks As
Possible.

Chicago-A pledge from Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the deposit in
surance provision of the banking
law would be fairly and Justly ad-
ministered was given the American
Bankers association by J. F. T. o.
Conner, comptroller of the cur-
rency.
Vigorously, he denied what he
termed 'viscious, unwarranted, and
untruthful propaganda" to the eff
feet that the small banks and the
independent banker were to be eli
minated, and said:
The present administration has
demonstrated its policy of protec-
ton for the little fellow whether in
dividual Or corporate. At a con-
ference with the President on Tues
day afternoon, he authorized me to
say to you and through you TO the
country that the object of the in
france provision of the new bank
act was to insure as many nom
member banks as possible. He dis
cussed the details of the act with
an amazing knowledge of its pro-
visions. He discussed real values,
appraised values and iquidating
values with a fine discrimination.
He said injustice must be avoided
In that sentence the Chief execu-
tive summarized all his comment
and directions"
While many members of the as
sciations have been outspoken in
their objections to the deposit in
surance plan. O'Connor defended
it. He predicted it would prove of
great value, and said that passage
of the Glass-Stegall bill by only
six adverse votes in the house and
unanimously in the senateIwas evil
dence of a tremendous popular de-
mand for such protection.

Program at An Important
Point.

Washington-The big and little
railroads of the country have been
requested directly by the admins
rrauon to put steam behind the
national recovery drive by spend
ing 'every available dollar" to give
more men work.
Joseph B. Eastman, federal CO.
ordinator of transportation, dis
patched this call to the presidents
of all rail-carriers in a lengthy
brief. Simultaneously, he asked
each to report the extent of COM
pliance with his suggestions
Reiterating his statement that
railroads should not legally Or as
a matter of policy come within the
Widespread of the blue eagle, East
man asserted this made it all more
important that the carriers "play
their proper part in the program of
national recovery.
The coordmaror iafd down SIX MAJ
or suggestions. In general they
recommend increasing employment
through catching up on deferred
maintenance, shortening the hours
to spread work and paying higher
wages where possible without dis
rurbing existing agreements.
Duplicate copies were sent to the
executives of all standard railroad
labor organizations, with the added
suggestion that the desired ends
could be reached only by mutual
agreements.
81 suggest, however," Eastman
said, THAT the arrangements take
the initiative and invite all employ
ees, thru their system representa-
tives, to confer with them as soon
as possible for the purpose of ar
irving at such agreements.
'It is not suggested that any vol
untary agreement SO negotiated be
for a period longer than the prevail
ing unemployment emergency. Nor
is it suggested that any class or
craft Of employees in any instance
increase hours days, or weeks work
ed, or the monthly mileages, above
those now in effect by mutual
agreement"
The coordinator suggested first
that the carriers get at deferred
maintenance and other work which
sorely needs to be done" not only
as a help to the country but as the
<'soundest of economy
Eastman pointed out to the rail
presidents that money could be
borrowed ION favorable terms
from the public works administra-
ton for equipment and mainten-
ance, but added that no carrier had
awaited itself of this opportunity.
'Such expenditures r needed
he said, "and they would strength
en- the recovery program at an i'm
portant point. The railroads will
not play their part if they neglect
these opportunities.
