to the general sales tax than to
the commodity tax plan, and that
whatever plan is evolved will be
more like the general than the
sO-callcd luxury or commodity
tax. 1t is not believed that either
Cherry or Grant will ever agree
to support any kind of a sales
tax. although some think Cherry
may ultimately agree to support
compromise plan if it appears
that the budget cannot be bal
anced any other way.
The principal objection in the
house to the 3 per cent general
luxury tax plan, which was de-
fcated when the Bowie amend
ment to strike it from the reve-
nue. bill was adopted by a vote
Of 80 to 46, was that it included
too much and taxed the bread,
flour and meat Of the poorest
people, without touching the lux
uries of the rich. But when the
So-callcd luxury or selected COM
mOditieS tax came up in the
house Thursday, its opponents
commended that it contained more
necessities than Injuries and that
even then it imposed heavier
tax upon "the little man" than
upon any other class especially
upon his amusementS and diver
sions. One Of the principal OBJ
iectionS to this latter plan was
the 20 per cent tax it imposed
upon cigarettes an dtobaccO prod
ucts, since members feared the
effect this would have upon the
tobacco farmers of the state as
well as upon the tobacco manu-
featuring industry.
But if this special Subcommlt'
tee now wrestling with this prob

and tail Of Il luxury tax, even
though it may have the body OF
q general sales tax, but with SUI

assessed on articles and c0mmodi'

/ it is generally agreed that a ma

Reduce Motor Speeds
To Win War on Crime
To tn. Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
There IS but one way to win the
war against hdnapers and gangsters
in general, and that Is by preventing
them from acquiring, by theft or other
wise, htgh-speed automobiles which en-
able them to outrun police cars.
As all cars are usable for interstate
travel, the Congress can enact laws
requiring all automobiles police
and other Government cars-to be 50
manufactured or altered by speed-gov-
erning mechanism that they cannot
be driven at q speed exceeding q rea-
sonable mileage, such as 80 or 40 miles
per hour, which is fast enough to meet
all reasonable desires or requirements,
but permitting police cars to be driven
at so or more miles per hour.
It Is certain that few, If any, gang
sters would be skillful enough to alter
q stolen car so as to enable It to outrun
police car, and II they tried, It would
require time, during which most of
those attempting 1t could be caught.
I am confident that no objections
would be raised to such legislation by
the Congress, excepting q few speed
maniacs and those manufacturers who
seek to increase their sales and profits
by catering to the idiots who want to
pass every car that happens to be
ahead Of them on the road.

Building Record Receivers.
Prom the San Antonio News.

FROM the San antonio news.
Building industry Is showing signs Of
definite recovery after three quiet years,
reports Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, New
York. This Development Is considered
fully as significant as increased car
bank clearances and longer pay rolls.
Construction Is q basic industry which
stimulates activity in many lines. It
is also an index to the demand for
business and Industrial facilities, as
well as for places to live. The financial
agency. notes q revival in the small
homes market, which It considers par
ticularly promising. Considerable re-
habilitation work Is under way or con-
templated- alike the modest
bungalow and the pretentous house.
Besides, numerous industries are reno
waiting their plants, preparing for .
busy season.
Largely because Of such activities,
building permits In 215 cities during
May rose to 31h million dollars-a AT
per cent gain over the April showing.
The May total was the highest In II
months and represented an 83.7 per
cent increase over February. It COM
ON building during May, 1882. %ose
figures 60 to show that the industry
rapidly Is regaining its normal stride.
The agency also emphasizes the fact
that during May building costs went
up 10, per cent on the average. Ma
terials advanced In price from 10 per
cent to 33h per cent. The trend Is
stu upward, thus indicating the de-
sirability Of undertaking such work
whether new construction or rehAhilt-
tation-with0ut delay.

The successful worrier always keeps
his subject well In hand.
Realixing that he is blessed with this
ability beyond the brute creation, that
1t u, indeed, one of the signs which
marx him as one with the angels, he
studies whatever worries him.
Thus what critical persons term
merely worry" he knows u q sort Of
study, an intellectual application dis
tinctly worthwhile.
The utterly carefree life may be ap-
preciated by some characters, but 1t has
q way Of eluding most Of Us. Even the
so-called "philosopher." who makes the
best Of life As 1t comes, finds himself
rarely escaping what he would like to
escape.
Events come to pass, and strike, or 60
by, almost soaring one out Of ones wits.
In any event, they leave traces.
Then why should not the wise person,
or he who aspires to be a. wise as he
can. put . bit Of study on the matter?
He should. and this simple study. II
you please, is worry.
Worry is not perverseness. conceived
in q spirit Of hate, but simply . turning
Of the mind toward q problem.
The difference between the worries
merely the difference between the open
ly honest person and the man or woman
who Is secretive In nature.
Both, It may be belived. worTy.
That simple worry Is good for Q hui
man being there can be little doubt
II It were not for this trait Of mind,
this intellectual habit, q great many
more mistakes might be made than 1T
present afford food for renewed worry.
Thus we have the happy spectacle Of
worry preventing more worry, tn .
sense. That Is, worry tends to limit
itself, o factor which u not commonly
considered. It Is only the mind which
has no brakes that goes on and On to
worry more and more.
There Is limitation to worry, a. to
all things, short Of complete disaster.
II he who worries over some simple or
complex matter knows more or less
what he - doing, he will possess Q quail
ity of reserve which tells him Just when
the breaking point Is reached.
He then resigns the worry, In what
soever name he does It: he finds . GER
tain solace creeping over him. In that
he has done the best he can, has Wres-
tied like Q man with his problem, and
can do no more.

The plain danger Of worry comes
when one will not give over, who
never knows when he Is beat" Such
an attitude Is very well, In things phys
ical. perhaps, but 1t does not apply In
this case.
The nervous disorders caused by ''too
much worry" are the result Of q failure
to give over, when quitting. whatever
the popular ignomy Of It Is, Is called
for In o personal case.
The man who knows when to quit
worrying Is the man who worries sue.
cessfu1ly, purposefully, who Is able to
derive benefit from 1t. and little harm.
Let his brow be wrinkled. at times, It
Is the mark or thought, and thought is
not harmful, in the main. Intelligent

II one chooses, and be as correct As
before.
Intelligent consideration is At for Q
human being, although at the same
time one may envy the thrush after his
worm, or the sweetly grave expression
of the dog, who knows nothing about

Kidnapping q National Evil.

A beginning Of the war against kid
naping in this country has been made
with the conviction at Kansas City Of
q man who abducted the daughter Of
the city manager. The death penalty
Is decreed by the jury for the nrst
time On record in q case where the host
age has not been slain. Almost stimuli
taneously with this verdict the Call
fornia Legislature passed bill providing
that the death penalty or life imprison-
ment without right Of parole should be
accorded to kidnapers who kill or mutt
late their victims, with life imprison-
ment with the possibility Of parole h
other cases.
Kidnapping Is almost invariably 40
compenied by threats Of death for the
victims. It Is thus TO be classed ~
potential murder. Cases have occurred
where the persons stolen have been
slain. when their relatives have not re-
sponded to demands for ransom. and
even when they have paid. The Lind
bergh child was one OF these.
The law should be made uniform IN
all States, putting this crime on the
same basis as homicide. The new Gall
fornia law does not 60 far enough,
inasmuch Is It provides the extreme
punishment only in case Of the slayins
or mutilation Of the victim. Thu
menace Of death or mutilation Is the
compelling force to exact ransom. II
should be regarded a. capital crime.
Cooperation between the State and
Federal governments in the pursuit and
defeat Of kidnapers can be effected,
perhaps with difficulty owing to the
complication Of jurisdictions. but most
surely through the unihcation of thu

angle the better part Of political WIS.,
dom for Long to cleave to President
Roosevelt, even II he fails to receive
all he wants In the way Of patronage.
And what Is patronage, Of the Fed
eral VARIETY, to Mr.. Long? During the
special session Of Congress Mr.. Long
arose ON the floor Of the Senate-he did
this frequently-snd declared that he
cared nothing for Federal jobs. On
one occasion he ridiculed the Civilian
Conservation Corps and the forestry
work It was set up to do. He said
that Louisiana wanted none Of these
camps. Yet this was one Of the pet
proposals Of President Roosevelt. In
view Of his statements In the Senate,
Senator Long should not complain to-
day, and apparently he has decided
not to do 20.
Just what his failure to dominate the
situation in Warrington will have on
Senator Longs political fortunes In
Louisiana Is another matter. The King
fish has plenty Of enemies in his own
home State over whom he has ridden
to control, becoming Governor and then
Senator. He has dictated the nomina-
tion and election Of Q second Senator
from Louisiana. Undoubtedly his enc
mics will make the most of the fact
that Long has been disciplined and
ignored In the matter of Federal pat
ronage. Incidentally, the administra-
ton Democrats in the Senate are con-
tinuing to hold over the Kingfish's head
the proposed senatorial investigation Of
the campaign in which Senator Overton
was nominated and elected last year.
Senator Tom Connally Of Texas was
appointed chairman Of the Investigat-
ing Committee just before the session
closed, taking the place Of the late
Senator Howell Of Nebraska, who died
before he could make . report to the
Senate on the Louisiana election.

Rock Island Argus, with the conclusion
that mo one familiar with the school
situation In Chicago viii criticize the
board for its economy measures" Th0
Argus also advises that young people
stand In need Of vocational guidance,
but that need, conceivably, can be supA
piled without bureaus entailing large

The Wausau Record-He statesd
The schools have gradually, during
the past two decades, taken upon
themselves many of tho functions which
used to devolve upon the parents of
the school children. Perhaps the
teachers do q better job of it. in many
respects, than the average parents, but
nevertheless, some Of the things they've
been trying to do for the school chill
dren are not properly within the realm
Of duty Of the school teacher, but be-
long. instead, to the home. Perhaps
Chicago, because Of dire necessity, may
be able to set an example for other
because of the lack Of funds"
Chicago Is taking 1t out Of the
schools and the children" says the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, and IL
recalls the reaction: Despite the
shocking financial condition Of the
school system. 50 drastic curtailment
OF educational facilities has aroused
keen opposition and bitter protest. Tho
suspicion Is prevalent among parents
as well as teachers and educational
leaders that the ruling politicians In
tend to make the curtailment per.
manent. A popular campaign with The
slogan. Save Our Schools has been
organised to start Chicago's second esnA
tury Of progress"
Criticism of the attitude Of the Board
Of Education is voiced by the Chicago
Daily News In the statement: "The
deficit with which the board Is deal&
estimated by John Rees at 81, ,00o,>
600, and by the board at $4,000, 900
to $11 .000, ,000-is not all chargeable to
this year, as the board implies, but has
been accumulating for at least four
years. This years share of the deficit
has been estimated at about 81, 500 900.
Cutting the Institutional program n
not, as alleged, the only way tn which
the 1888 deficit, or even the total accu.
mulated deficit, could be met. The
board ignores the possibility Of con-
siderable savings which. in spite Of
some economies made In business ad.
ministration, are still possible and de-
sirable IN the care and operation Of
school plants. Those savings were rec
commended In the Strayer report. The
board rejects the sound policy Of
spreading amortization of the accumu-
lated deficit over brief period of years
and continuing on the shortened term
schedule until the deficit Is made good.
It chooses to disorganize q progressive
system, carefully built up and articu-
lated, and to impoverish the curriculum,
rather than save those essential values

Of mourning the death penalty, while

The relatives Of persons stolen for

when they treat with the kidnapers for

to be blamed for 20 doing. Their i'm
mediate and natural impulse Is to seek
redemption. But they are none the less
aiding and abetting the criminals when
they undertake by direct and sometimes
secret negotiations to secure the return
Of the hostages.
It would perhaps be the height Of
cruelty to forbid by law. under penalty.
personal dealings between the families
Of stolen persons and the kidnapers,
and yet theoretically such . course
would be justified, In the interest Of
the general welfare. There Is no ukeli-
hood Of such enactments Of law, mas
much as there Is unbounded sympathy
for and with the real victims Of this
abominable crime, the parents and
other relatives Of the hostages. Yet
the fact remains that Justice Is impeded
by the private dealings. valuable time
Is lost in the hunt and the chances
Of the detection and capture Of the
kidnapers are lessened.
At present there Il . universal sense
OF outrage at the wave of this most
fiendish Of crimes now prevailing In this

festations before, notably in the Lind

child Of one Of the most beloved Of
American citizens. That nothing Of value

way Of more effective laws and means

the current series Of hdnapinss IN all
parts Of the country. should not check
the steps now being taken toward what
It Is hoped win be the cure Of this
great evil.
