What Price Prosperity?
By JOHN C. CRESSWlLL
From Wall Street Magazine for July s7

normal times about s0W of the utilized electric current goes to in- dustrial use: leaving .40R of the gross incomes of power and light companies from sales of electricity subject to the transferred tax. This translates into . tax of 1.2cS on the total current sales of operating electric companies. Beyond . doubt such Q tax will operate to reduce dividends or to tend to prevent increases.
 The only hope of shareholders in this regard Is that the operating companies may have effected such economies during the hard timei that the increase of net profits will
 be greater than the increase iI
 gross as business expands. And
 that is . substantial hope. Tha,
 also is tho hope of the holdins
 companies, which have beer
 thrown into the darkest gloom b,
 the shift in the source of the power
 tax.
 The federal gasoline tax has been raised from one cent to a cent-and-a.half . gallon. This is q consumers tax, and 10 nothing but an accounting nuisance for the oil and gasoline companies, as in the past year.
 If the country is caught up in a genuine outburst of business activ. ity there won't be any effect meas. urable by the most refined vaiu. atiOn apparatus known to business sharps. Nevertheless, 1t is good to reflect that the half cent will be erased when, As, and If, the treas. ury balances its books or prohibi. tion vanfshes.
 While 1t lasts that little half cent will be transmutsd into 62 million dollars of revenue for tn. cle Sarn-so the hscal experts pre- dict.
 A cotton tax of four cents a pound is just around the corner, and unless automatic price increAs- es beat the boot strappers to 1t, processing taxes will soon take the rest out of butter, fics, corn, pork, tobacco and their various cohver- sions.
 Last but not least let us not for get the nameless tax which is about to be applied by the Indus. trial Recovery act. The inevitable consequence of increasing wages, shortening hours and lengthening payrolls is higher prices-human nature being what 1t ts and not withstanding General johnson be. ing what he 10. This nor. statutory tax is certain to be presented to millions before they have the wherewithal to meet 1t. Increased prices of industrial goods plus in. creased prices for farm goods may informally tax the taxpayer into a comatose condition before he has an opportunity to extract any fiourishment for himself from the new prosperity.
 Nothing will matter much-real, or near-taxes-Aif the growing busi. ness advance can keep up q sener. al alignment of taxes. prices and wages.

 ALL CRIMINALS

 "F,Or hardened criminals, for hi- lacking and robbery with firearms, l would provide . rca- sOnable term of Imprisonment, but provide that upon entering the penitcntiary the criminals should receive from 30 to 100 lashcs with q cat-o'-ninc tails on their bare backs," the gov. ernor said.
 "Whcn they left the pcniten. tiafy, either by parole or ex. pirntiOn of their times they should be given another wlip- ping of she same kind that they might remember for a while where they'd been and have no desire to return.
 elf they continue criminals, give them the death penalty"

1lounced Monday, the magistrate said.

grabbing her hair and throwing her
TO the ground after sneaking up be-
hind her in stocking feet several

The third woman facing an assault
charge Is Mrs. Harry Olson, wife Of
farmer living two miles east Of

Mr.. and Mrs. Olson have been hav-
ing trouble over q property settle
ment, which now Is pending in dis
trict court here, Magistrate Allen
said. Under q proposed settlement,
drawn up but not signed, Mrs. Olson
is to get possession Of an automobile

A few nights ago, according to Oh
son, Mrs. Olson, accompanied by her
17.year-old son and mother, came to
Olson's home after he had retired and
broke into the house. When he &C.
costed them In the front room, he
says, Mrs. Olson demanded the auto
mobile and he answered that she
could have it in the morning.
He alleges she then struck him but
that after considerable difficulty he
succeeded In outsing the three from
the house. Then, he said. Mrs. Olson
struck him with long tree limb
which she thrust through Z screen

completed.
