CAPPER FORECASTS
STEADY BETTERMENT
More Employment and Better Pay
Should Result From Higher
Prices, He Says.

A steady improvement in economic
conditions during the next few months
was predicted last night by Senator
Capper, Republican. of Kansas. who
said commodity prices should con-
tinue to improve, making possible more
employment and at better wages"
Commodity prices are on the rise. y
said the Kansan. stock market levels
are higher and promise to go still
higher. There will be recessions In
both, some of them sharp. But the
tendency is upward, and that means
increased employment and more pur-
chasing power.
so far as the farm belt is concerned
things are on the upgrade again. The
farm mortgage relief sections OF the
agricultural adjustment act are oper-
ating to relieve the farm mortgage sit
uation. Coupled with local tax reduc-
tons. which are very general and no
ticeable throughout, most Of the farm
belt, the Government cid to agriculture
through mortgage relief and through
increased returns for agriculture
through imitation, through better en-
ployment conditions, through the price
raising features Of the farm act. are
bound to increase the purchasing power

Interesting Visitor Aboard.
We had an interesting visitor this
morning. His name was Solomon Par

out some Holsters, which we had for

The residents whose places border the

on every cruise at least once, and today
1t happened to us. When we called
on the motor to take us out of the har-
Dor this morning she simply wouldn't

Inspection showed a broken valve
spring and the only thing to do was
to send to Camden, across the bay, for
a new one So the destroyer Ellis,

Briggs, Cutter and myself, went over
on it. 1t took several hours to find the
right part. and Paul Rust then spent
several more putting the motor in good
running order again.
At 4 o'clock with a spanking west
southwest breeze we're off again to get
as far as we can by sundown. and to
enjoy the perfect sailing conditions in
spite Of the delay. The day has been
far from lost.

EN- ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT AT SEA OFF PENOB-
SCOT BAY, June 24.-Held at Pulpit
Harbor, North Haven Island, by motor
trouble, President Roosevelt Jagged on
his northward sailing cruise in beauti-
full weather today.
He had to get ;'the kicker" going to
scoot beyond the pine top point of the
island to wind on the open sea.
Well ahead of schedule, the happy
President didn't mind the loaf1ng dur
ing the morning, which he spent visit
ing with his two youngest sons, Frank
lin, jr., and John.
Considers Nova Scotia.
He now Is considering cruising to
Nova Scotia If he continues ahead Of
his program. The Pulpit Harbor cove
was among the favorite spots OF the
Roosevelt cruise SO far. There were
very few visitors. The water In the
inlet was placid. It was new scenery.
Over the mainland jutted the Camden
Mountains, upon which ranged some
moose.
Solomon Parsons, 87-year-old resi-
dent of the island, sent Mr.. Roosevelt
lobster. and the President was SO
pleased with it he invited the veteran
of North Haven aboard to thank him
personally.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not the first Presi-
dent to visit the isolated North Haven
Island President Grant was here, and
his name is on the register OF the
North Haven Inn.
Mr.. Roosevelt signed the register, too:
The passing of the noon hour found
the President still in Pulpit Harbor and
his destination for the night remained
very uncertain However, he Is lar
ahead of schedule, thanks to couple
of good days of sailing, and he isn't
worrying.
MAY Visit Bay of Fundy.
With another week of time, 1T IS
likely that the skipper President will
extend his cruise into the waters OF
the Bay of Fundy If he reaches his
destination off Campobello Island early
next week, as now seems probable.
He likes the water. Since boarding
the Amberjack week ago tonight, Mr..
Roosevelt has not left it. After cou-
pie of days Of rough going he has had
almost perfect sailing weather.
The week has not only given him
complete rest from the arduous first
three months of his Presidency. but 1t
has brought him deep bronze color
and health to carry on for the recovery
campaign he has launched for the
Nation.

Exposed Unsound Practices.

"At the same time the public should
not lose sight Of the primary reSponsl,
bilitv of the committee. The principal
lob is that of disclosing those evil spec
ulative practices which In the name OF
investment robbed millions OF our peo-
pie of their savings and closed the doors
of hundreds of smaller banks through
out the country.
THE inquiry has already exposed
many unsound practices In securities M
markets. It has disclosed some OF the
shortcomings of our corporate laws. 1t
has shown that the Stock Exchange,
while enforcing the most rigid honesty
within its own circle. does not yet as
sumo much responsibility for the man
ner in which its facilities are employed
to do the bidding of professional spec
ulators, to assist the pirac1es OF lnduS-
trial warfare, or to enforce the will OF
financial powers.
This week the committee will con-
clude for the time being its examination
Of private banking practices. Before
the inquiry is concluded We shall re-
turn to a consideration of banking
practices, and. in addition, examine the
investment trust situation, the employ
ment Of holding companies to effect
a multitude Of unwholesome business
purposes, and the use of Stock Exchange
facilities to accomplish ends not in har-
mony with the idea of free and open

Of the failure Of some of the wealthiest
men in the country to pay income tax.
1.-THE acquittal of Charles E. Nit
chell," said Senator Fletcher, "of Grim
inal charges that grew out Of evidence
developed in the investigation OF bank
ing and securities practices will have
no influence upon the further course Of
the committee inquiry. It is not the
function of the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency to gather evi-
dence for the prosecuting officers Of the
Government. On the other hand, 1t is
the duty of the Department of Justice
to take cognizance Of any evidence de-
veloped before the committee which has
the appearance Of violation of Federal
law.
IF unwholesome income tax prac-
tices are encountered during the further
conduct Of the investigation, they will
be disclosed. If they have the color OF
fraud, I have no doubt they will be
prosecuted But in any event, neither
the absence of prosecution nor an as
tute criminal defense will deter Con-
gress from taking legislative action to
make our income tax laws equally ap-
plicable to-and equally enforceab BILE
against-all our people, without regard
to their wealth or the source from which
their income is derived.
Not Relieved by Responsibility.
Congress has not been relieved of
any responsibility because Mr.. Mitchell
escaped jail. On the contrary, the public
condemnation of devices employed by
him and others to escape taxation has
been SO emphatic that legislative RENE
dies to prevent such practlces IN the
future are inevitable.
THE authority given the committee
by the Senate to examine income tax
returns has been of great value to our
investigators in checking the reliability
of evidence obtained in other quarters.
The Senate granted this authority to
the committee as facility to assist IN
the general investigation of banking and
securities practices, just as it author
lied the Secretary of the Treasury, the
controller of the currency, and the FED
eral Trade Commission to cooperate IN
the conduct of the inquiry There was
no primary duty imposed upon the COM
mittee to search for income tax VIOLA
tions and there has been no such searcn:
But it has been my view, ana
believe it is the view Of the commit
fee that when unWholesome or un-
ethical practices were discovered, we
owed a public duty to expose them and
to call them to the attention OF Con-
gress for such remedial action as might
be deemed appropriate AS chairman
of the committee, I propose to pursue
this policy so long as the 1nVesugatlon
proceeds.

THESE UNITED STATES AND HOW THEY
CAME TO Be BY Gertrude Hartman. New
York: The Macmillan Co.
THIS is a sequel to the authors earlier book,
! "The World We Live in and How 1t Came
to Be-" Both books are adapted to children
from 10 to II years of age. They deal with big
movements in our history and social develop
ment rather than with political and military
events. Picturesque spots are emphasized and
the whole treatment is human and stimulating.
The discriminating selection of material and
the interesting, vivid style make both books
useful general reading for children. They are
not reference books. The new and old pictures
in the illustrations are delightful
