Footing the Bill

In powerful and timely editorial the Saturday
Evening Post says the taxation policies of the Gov
ernment are making it ridiculous and adds that if
persisted in the Of the Government will under-
mine the very foundations of well ordered society,""
An illustration in point is the three -mliondollar
Federal Theater Project to be directed by Miss Halle
Flanagan, teacher at Vassar College which has al
ready drawn to itself unenviable notorety seed
ing ground for sort of giggy schoolgirl radicalism.
The project contemplates the production Of rejected
manuscripts in other words plays which have not been
able to make their way into the normal self sustaining
theater.
Playwrights who have not been successful hitherto
in getting their names on the bboards are to be made
to look like honest-to goodness dramatic authors
WITH THE AID OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES.
Negro companies for Harem Yiddish and Chinese
theaters for New Yor Lower East Side; crcuses for
towns where the real circuses do not stop; variety
shows for the city parks subsidies to provide readings
for the works of unknown authors and subsidized
make believe productions, in which aged and back
number actors, whose have closed, can tread
the boards once more despite unsteady knees and
quavering voices
And among unproduced plays which now to
have fling, at Government expense are compositions
by such leftwing propagandists as John Howard Law
son. Virgil Geddes, Claire and Paul Sifton, George
Sklar and Albert Maltz
This is to be expected Of any undertaking which
Professor Halle F. Flanagan Of Vassar has hand in.
Has she not studied the RUSSIAN drama under the
direction of the SOVIET Society for Cultural Rela
tions With Foreign Countries?
Was she not the honorary recipient Of special
ballet performance given for her in LEN1NGRAD?
And is she not member of the American Advisory
Committee of the MOSCOW State University?

During the debate over the
Clayton act in 1914 Senator
McCumber Of North Dakota
said:
"There are no people in this

concerned In maintaining the
Constitutional power Of ths

After quoting this admonition

his book, offered this wise OBJ.

each individual working man
should ask himself the question:
Have I such implicit trust In
the correctness and justice Of
everything done by Congress as
to be willing that Congress
should legiSIate as to my rights,
at its own sweet will, unfettered
by any bounds Of a written con-

The revised edition Of Mr..
Warren's book will bring up to

statutes involved and a brief
summary of the grounds Of the
decisions. And the language Of
citations and summary is so
clear that any college freshman
with an average amount Of COM

The pioneers descended from

ground Just behind the encamp-
ment, Signalled danger. Buff
falo Bill, always a magnificent
figure on his great horse, rode
furiously toward the ridge from
whence the scouts were sending
their signals.
In an instant the camp was
in an uproar Of orderly confu-
sion. The women folk were
ordered into the covered
wagons and out Of the way Of
bullets and arrows. Then
came the onrush Of the Redmen,
led by Chief Irontail. Savagely
whooping, they rode around,
the circle Of defensive wagons,
shooting blunted arrows. The
settlers replied from behind
the big ConaStogaS.
Many a Redman bit the dust
In those old encounters in the
garden. And presently, when
it seemed that the encampment
was doomed, would come the
United States Cavalry, the
Seventh-out Of compliment to
the famous old regiment for
which Colonel Cody used to
scout in his young days.
It was a great show, indeed,
with the United States Cavalry,
the COWBOYS, the settlers, the
Indians and usually a flock OF
booted Cossacks, the real thing,
standing upright on their gal
loping ponies. So much for the
old Wild West Show.
MODERN RODEO
The present entertainment Is
the result Of the showmanship
enterprise of Col. Bill johnson,
of Texas. sub! Some years ago,
rodeos were confined to certain
cities in the Far West, Chey-
enne, for example. But Colonel
Bill realized that the effete East
was missing a lot of fun and so
he began to bring his assem-
blage of wild riders over the
AlleghanieS and into New York.
Collecting wild horses for
modern rodeoS is a business in
itself. At his ranch in Texas,
Amarillo, I think, Colonel John
son assemblies the meaneSt rid
ing stock he can find. High
prices are paid for horses that
simply will not tolerate being
straddled. He doesn't want any
killers-the savage kind that
deliberately set out to destroy
prospective riderS-but he does
want the kind that can buck
five feet in the air and twist
themselves like a rubber band
in three or four directions at
once.
1t is astonishing that so few
Of these daring riders are badly
hurt. Once in a while there IS
q fatal accident or a man suf-
ferS a broken leg or arm, but
they are in hard training, these
boys, and as a rule get off with
little worse than severe bruises
or a bloody nose. Anyway, it's
great fun, the modern rodeo,
but it does make some Of us
look backward to older days
when the great West was a bit
closer to us than it Is now.

Miss Betty Larner, who was mar
ried to Dale Powell this morning by
the Rev. Thomas Finneran at St.
Philip Neri Church, had her two
sisters, Misses Sally and Margaret
Larner, and cousin, Mrs. George
w. Hall, as her attendants. Mr..
Hall was one of Mr. Powell'S ushers.
and his brother, Floyd Powell, was
best man, and Dennis Larner, the
brides uncle, was the other usher.
The pride entered with her father
and proceeded to the flower deco
rated altar as Mary Brooks. organist,
played. Claude Lindeman sang
bridal songs.
The bride wore a long tulle veil
with her white satin dress. designed
with fitted jacket Her flowers
were brides roses and baby breath.
Miss Sally Larner, the maid Of
honor, wore a shel-pink satin gown,
with fitted jacket and a matching
maline hat. Miss Margaret Larner's
dress was of ice-blue satin and her
hat Of matching maline, and Mrs.
Halls gown was Of lilac satin worn
with a maline hat. All the atten-

up with the ace in dummy. Another
club is led, and ruffed by South.
Declarer has inferred, from East's
double, that he holds the king Of
spades, so a trick might be gained
by forcing a spade lead from East.
The queen of clubs might be es-
tablished to provide a discard for
the other losing spade, but 10 do
this would require another entry in
dummy.
Accordingly. declarer leads the
ace of diamonds and rufus in dunn
my. A small club is returned and
this time East's king drops, setting
up dummy's queen.
East is put into the lead with the
king of hearts and is now con-
fronted with a hopeless situation.
If he should lead a diamond, de-
clarer would discard a spade, and
ruff in dummy, then shed his last
losing spade on the queen Of clubs.
If East should lead a spade, the
queen Of spades would become an
entry into dummy, and the club
would still provide the necessary
spade discard.
In either case. the declarer would
take the remaining tricks, and full
fill his double contract.
