EATING Us ALIVE

The publisher of the Chicago Tribune
recently made an address carrying the
vivid title of TAX Eaters, Tax Eating and
Tax Eaten"
The first. of course, consists of gov
eminent officials. the second of govern
ment and its activities-and the third. of
the poor taxpayers. The suggestion Is not
so far-fetched as it may seem. We're
reaching point where the tax eaters arc
about TO swallow everything we've got.
Keep that title in mind when you
mediate upon government. 1t describes
a situation which you as a voter and tax
payer, have allowed to develop-and
which you must do your part in putting an
end TO. unless you and all your possessions
are to be entirely digested by the bureau

Restrictions on Margins.

The new rules promulgated by the
New York Stock Exchange requiring
fifty per cent coverage on small mar
Cinal accounts and a thirty per cent
coverage on those exceeding $4,000 are
not expected to wipe out speculation.
The Board of Governors, however, IS
aiming at preventing the little fellow
who has hot tip" from losing every
thing he has by buying on margin
through a broker who is too lenient in
the matter Of marginal trading. 1t is
probable that NEST brokers have already
frightened their restrictions on margin
accounts. The new restrictions by the
Exchange may not affect many OF
them But it tightens the existing
regulations, which called for proper
and adequate" margins, and makes the
amount of coverage specific.
The significant point concerning the
new rules, which include other regula-
tions regarding marginal accounts and
customers men, Is the fact that the
Board of Governors is awake to the
potential dangers to free and open
market" involved when trading in the
market assumes the aspects OF
gambling orgy - and is determined to
do something about it. The recent
break in the market after period of
feverish speculation reminiscent of
1923 and the early part of 1929 brought
new rumblings from Washington more
potent in their warnings than any
number of Senate investigations. These
were needed. The new rules are de-
signed to increase the difficulties, If not
to prevent the shoe-string plunges. Of
the man of small means who risks
everything he has in speculating on
margin.
As long as there is a free and open
market there will be speculation, much
Of it entirely legitimate. One great
source OF evil has been the ease Of
Speculating on margin and the en-
phasis placed on the easy riches to be
won through speculation, rather than
the relative security to be won through
sound investment. Anything done to
hamper marginal trading by those who
know nothing about 1t except what they
read in the papers will be considered
gain. The Board of Governors of the
Stock Exchange has taken praiSeworthy
action in cleaning its own house.

triguing problem. The idea OF 1t, the
scheme Of 1t, the whole magnificent
conception of'it engage his admiration.
1t seems natural to him that the primi-
tive savage mind of man should have
visioned God as a pluvial diety. rain
maker. Certainly, there must be an
intelligence behind such an occurrence,
a causa causans. And If that be granted,
it would follow that there must be a
creative principle in everything. The
name applied to the power SO discerned
is of little importance. Recognition OF
it is what is wanted. Its instruments
are called the laws of cosmic arith-
metic, gravity, relativity, evolution, ad-
justment, survival. The names are le-
gion. but their basic meanings signify
the same thought.
The dictionary authorities trace the
customary term for the condensed
vapor of the atmosphere falling to the
earth in drops large enough to attain
sensible velocity to an ancient Anglo
Saxon root, 'regn" or ''ren," a word
of initiative character representing the
sound of water in motion. Dean Swift S
notion of the possibility of a shower
of cats and dogs suggests that in the
case of such a variation it would have
to be "bow-wow-meow." Obviously, that
novelty is not to be desired.
When the fields are gasping, the cities
sitting in the heat Of August, the
prayer of nature and mankind alike Is
for the ideal relief of a thorough
drenching. The author of the popular
song may have written better than he

Let it rain, let It pour;
think 1 know just what it's rain

A Tradition of the Sea.
the Cincinnati Times-star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
Eleven centuries ago, so the legend
runs. an old Viking sea captain steered
his dragon-prowed ship on her Last
voyage. Alone he stood at the helm
as she stood out from the harbor into
the darkening twilight. The faithful
crew, his companions in many skir-
mish on her planks, stood on the bank
in mournful silence. When good
distance separated the ship from land
they watched the captain light a torch
Soon the growing flames lit up his
proud face, and, enveloping the ship
cast a reflection on the water. He
waved a farewell to those on shore
stood at his lifelong post until death
came.
A few days ago Capt. F. L. Spears
refused rescue and went down on the
North Carolina coast. Sudden disaSte,
came in the morning. All day the
captain had struggled to save his crew
He ordered those picked up who had
gone overheard. helped bandage the
wounded, fought the fire and saw the
lifeboats launched. Then as nightfall
closed in, with the stern already under
water and the sky and sea Redeemed by
the last flames from the doomed ship
he watched the final boatload of sur.
vivors pull away toward the two rescue
ships that now stood by. He refused
to come" said one of the crew. "As
the ship was sinking he flashed his
light"
Heroic deaths! Two victims claimed
by the same ancient tradition of the
sea! And yet the pictures are different
In the first one smells the scent o1
hempen rope and the fragrant smoke
of burning pine, sees the square, col
ored sail. and as the end nears, the
old warrior, magnificent In skins and
armor, a death to fit life. In the
second, a smudge Of oily smoke, the
greasy faces Of men, the clanking
groan of the engines, an electric FASH
light. One thinks Of the name Of the

Two philosophical Americans cele-
brated their birthday anniversaries last

Holmes. %.
Mr.. Rockefeller's credo has been often
given and often quoted He believes in
hard work as a conditioner for young
men and as solace for old age.
Justice Holmes, speaking from the legal
point of view, has just delivered the
opinion that "the rule of Joy and the
law of duty are one and the same
thing" He ventures q little over into
Mr.. Rockefeller's realm when he says
that those who seek happiness in
money will de disappointed" But Mr..
Rockefeller agrees With all the money
he possesses, he has found his happi-
ness in helping others through colossal
gifts for the furtherance of education
and life-saving medical research and
through the benefit Of his sprightly
messages Of personal cheer.
Neither Justice Holmes nor Mr..
Rockefeller knows the secret of
longevity. Probably the years lust
grew" but these two men know how to
enjoy them. Mature reflection over a
job wen done usually furnishes the

A Kentucky Howler.

Lee Chrisman deserves to be famous
In point Of fact, he has attained celeb
rity He has had million dollars
worth Of free publicity in the Nations
press, and European exchanges almost
certainly will repeat his story. Through
out the whole wide world his name will
be known He will pass into history as
the greatest, the most talented and the
most widely advertised howler Of mod
ern times.
BY profession a farmer and an auc-
taoneer, he has developed the most
amazing vocal technique since Glen

be able to "call spirits from the vastly

earth shaking power as to be heard

q noise maker of unparalleled genius
The wild bulls of Bashan must be turn
ing green with envy.
Chrisman has demonstrated the
grandeur of his art from the top OF a
mountain at Cumberland Gap. Listen
ers were stationed in three States to
record his victory. At 3 o'clock on
an unoffending morning he opened his
mouth, and there came forth 'yee-
how" which caused the hills to tremble
and the forests to shiver. The dis
turbance swept over the countryside
Ike hurricane The vibration rolled
along like Jovian thunder. The very
heavens echoed with the reverberation.
It was marvellous exhibition. No
wonder the newspapers noticed it.
Kentucky has much to be grateful
for. The blue grass, for example, the
spirited race horses of Derby annals,
the beautiful girls of Louisville and
Lexington, the perennial crop OF
colonels, Stephen Collins Fosters song,
and Bourbon whisky. But the howler
tops them all This is the age Of noise,
