NEW YORK, July IL. - There is

one would have to go back TO the
days OF President Andrew Jackson
to obtain an analogy.
When "Old Hickory strangled the
acapitalist-dominated" Bank Of the
United States, TO the cheers Of the
south and the west, the eastern sea-
board shivered and spoke Of the ma

When the J~acksonites previously
had assumed the title Of Democrats.
the term was agreed in New Eng
land especially as degrading and
revolutionary. The undiSciplined
mob would undermine the United
States, institutions would crumple
into dust, hoodlums would over
run the cultivated few.
As President Roosevelt, a student
OF history, probably would tell you
with a smile, the cultivated few"
responded with political tactics and
scurrilous attacks on character that
could hardly sink lower.

Democrats became not the despoil-

WIDENING HIGHWAY ON
, VIRGINIA PROGRESSING

Work by the Waller Paving Com
pany, of Salisbury, in widening the
Coastal Highway between Bayview
and Deep Branch, Va, is progressing
rapidly from the standpoint of right of
way clearing and excavating for road
bed. The work has been under way
now several weeks and indications are
that the pouring of concrete will be
started within about thirty days, de-
pendent, of course on weather con-
ditions.
An eight foot extension will be made
to the road making it the same width
as the Highway is now between Cape
Charles and Bayview. This will make
a three-way drive to take care of the
heavy traffic increasing rapidly over
this roadway.
The new section is approximately
three miles in length and is expected
to be opened to traffic over the full
length in late summer.
Some right of way difficulties have
been encountered and condemnation
proceedings having failed they have
been dismissed and it now appears as
if the road will remain at its present
width through certain parts of the
town of Cheriton. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that these difficulties can be
overcome before the contractor starts
pouring concrete.

is said to be the ringleader Of the
gang. The other white men, besides
Pruitt and Cook, were Hewitt Horsey

man, George Allen, was also arrested
Federal agents William Roe and
Tom Thompson, and deputy sheriffs
John Bennett, Jr., Archie Lesage and
Earl Pinder, conducted the raid. Be-
sides the liquor, mash and sugar, the
officers confiscated two cars which
were used to transport the liquor and
supplies. The officers blew up the
still and burned all equipment Thurs
day morning.
All the men were brought to the
Kent county Jail, in Chestertown,

for long time, that he more or less
controlled many illicit operations up
and down the Shore.

10 YEAR OLD BOY OF
HORSEY, VA, KILLED

Richard D. L. Fletcher End, 10-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Foster
Fletcher, of Horsey, Va, was instant
ly killed last Monday afternoon late
when struck by a truck in front of
the home of his parents. The boy was
a great-nephew of Mr.. R. D. L. Fetch
err, of Cape Charles, Va.
According to report Lloyd brewer,
of Saxis, had stopped his truck on the
opposite side of the road from the
Fletcher home to sell fish to some
transient laborers occupying small
house there. The boy went over to
the truck and requested by brewer to
ask if his father wished to buy any
fish he darted from behind the stand
ing truck directly into the path of an
ether truck being operated by Mr..
Harry Vessels. The accident appear
ed unavoidable and Vessels is not be-
ing held blameworthy.
At the time Of the accident the boys
mother was away from home attend
ing the funeral of an uncle, Mr.. Archie
Justis.
Of extraordinary intelligence the
little fellow was very popular with
teachers and fellow pupils at Temper
anceville school, which he attended.
Funeral services were conducted
from his home Wednesday afternoon
at o'clock by the Rev. T. S. Forbes
and interment was in the family bury
ing ground, at Horsey. The pail bear
ers, both active and honorary, were
members of the Fourth Grade at Tenn
peranceville school.
The boy is survived by his parents
and two brothers, Robert Foster and
William Beverly.
The huge attendance and numerous
floral tributes at the funeral attested
the popularity of the little fellow and
his parents.

charge of selecting camp sites for the
CCC Camps, were in Somerset county
last week, to look over and pass upon
the fitness of several sites already Of
fered for the Princess Anne Camp.
Sites viewed in Somerset have been
offered by Long Brothers, at West
over. where several locations thought
suitable for the camp have been ten
dered.
Another site has been offered by
Cohn & Book. This is located on the
old Princess Anne-Salisbury road
just opposite McAllen's mill. Many
favor this section.
Still another site is that offered by

Under suspicion for some time,
Cook tenant of the farm, was arrested

was not until Thursday of last week

 Then everybody had a feast. Each Tinys waistlinc was in- creased. Soon Duncy said, "Oh, goodness. can't eat another thing"

TAXES ARE CITED
AS SMARKET FACTOR
Doubt of Industry's Ability
to Carry Huge Load Be-
comes Influence.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

0bCSAdA NAopdLNA w AAAC 0bdAs
NEW YORK, February 5.-There
are plenty of other deterrents to in
vestment commitments in securities
aside from the uncertainty with re-
gard to the impending decision in the
gold clause cases.
Among these, and perhaps most
fundamental of all, is the doubt about
the ability Of industry to carry the
tax burden incident to the Govern
ment'S huge expenditures for relief
and for social security and at the same
time have anything left over in the
way of profits
Earning statements already reveal a
decreasing percentage of net TO gross,
which is suggestive to say the least,
and as the administrators plans de-
Velop the prospective charge on busi-
ness becomes steadily larger.
For a long time stock prices we're
supported by expectation of currency
imitation. There are still those who
look for such imitation, but their num-
Der Is not as large as it was and in
any event, there is less faith in the
protection provided by ownership Of
an equity n any manufacturing or
distributive business Only the excep-
tional enterprise could survive infia-
ton anyWay-the best situated being,
Of course, the original producers of
durable commodities
As a market factor. taxation now
looms larger than imitation, including
with taxation higher labor costs. Take,
for instance, the plan of Senator
| Wheeler to tax corporation assets with
the intent to eliminate monopolies
and holding companies" The chances
are that this particular scheme will
never get anywhere, but its advocacy
is not calculated to encourage invest
ment in stocks of the largest corpora
tions to which the average investor
always gives the preference in times
of depression.
Add the certainty that from now on
legitimate and absolutely necessary
taxation must absorb a larger and
larger proportion Of earnings and the
reluctance to invest new money be-
comes understandable.

CLOSING PROPOSAL
Tradition of Long Standing
at Stake in Preparation
for Gold Ruling.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 5.-A long
standing tradition is at stake In the
decision of officials of the Stock Ex-
change to continue trading at the
time of announcement of the Supreme
Courts ruling in the gold-clause cases.
Maintenance of a free and open
market" at all times in which sellers
can find a buyer and bidders receive
an offering has been prime principle
Of the Nations leading security mar
ket for so long that Wall Street men,
ory runneth not to the contrary In
three decades the rule has been ig-
nored only twice because of national
or world crises.
The first of these occasions was at
the outbreak Of the World War in
1914, when dealings were suspended
for a period of six weeks. The sec
ond extended from March to IA,
1888, inclusive, and covered the period
of the bank holiday in the United
States Even the latter suspension, it
was said in exchange quarters, was
due rather to the lack of banking
facilities which made money settle
ments impossible, than to inability to
bring buyers and sellers together in an
orderly market.
1t is revealed in financial quarters
that sharp division of opinion ex-
listed in brokerage, exchange, and
securities commission circles regard
ing the advisibility OF maintaining an
open market when the court renders
in judgment, expected sometime in
the next week or two. 1t is noted that
new factor now figures in the situa-
ton, since the Securities & Exchange
Commission has the power to close
markets under its control, ''in the pub
lie interest"
Conferences are known to have been
held between exchange officials and
members of the Government regula-
tory BODY. and it Is assumed that the
former were able to give assurance
that satisfactory measures would be
adopted for the limiting of price
swings to reasona BILE proportions, and
that closing would not be necessary.
