La Sale Spier presented Jesse
Blaisdell and Phila Belle Burk
last night at Barker Hall in a
piano recital that was intensely
interesting because of the con.
trasting elements involved. Miss
Blaisdell seemed more concerned
with expressing the joy Of music
rather than a technical display
of fast lingering, although her
reading Of the Chopin "Etude"
and the Mcdowell Concerto"
displayed agile finger work.
Miss Burk was more prone to
display fast technic and more
dramatic action which eliminated
in the "Fire-Ritual Dance" by de
Falla, when she pounded the clos
ing chords so hard that the piano
action must surely have been Sc.
verely strained. She was truly
filled with the exuherance Of
youth and when time shall have
quoted down this enthusiasm for
swift action, the more lasting va
ues of music will doubtless shine
through.

Abstract Music
Bach's "Gavotte in E. Major
is abstract music in the strict
sense, for he seldom wrote with
any concrete idea in mind. The
themes were originated as objects
of beauty and developed as he saw
fit. Yet as the theme shown above
is repeated six times in the piece,
suggested concrete picture may
be read into it. The theme seems
to be firm, Jealous and strong. It
seems to express a positive con-
viction, Il am resolved to take &C.

Following this opening state
ment, someone seems to try to
dissuade him from taking a GER

comes clear and strong, II am de-
termined to do this" The tempter
persists with his plea-uttering
threats, but the positive answer
rings out again. The tempter re-
sorts to sweet words telling OF the
joys that lie ahead if he gives up
his course. Finally the tempter
enliSts the aid of friend to shake
the others resolution; but their
arguments do not avail; the an

it successful. Well, you'd take

wouldn't expect much success

Business Activity Creates
General Prosperity
By Fred G. Clark
National Commander of the Crusaders
(FrOm a Radio T0lk)

Wages in this country nearly
doubled between 1860 and 1900,
although prices for commodities
were actually lower in 1900 than
they were in 1860
In 1900 demagogues claimed
that a few men would own and
control practically all of Amer
lea in less than 20 years.
These damagogues were just
as sincere as those whose voices
are now heard up and down the
land.
What has happened2
In 1900 less than four and a
half million people owned any
interest in securities.
In 1882 it is estimated that
twenty-four million people
owned securities in American
enterprise-the average Ameri-
cans had increased their owner
ship in American industry more
than five hundred per cent in
numbers.
POOR GOT POORER
It is charged that between
1900 and 1880 the poor got
poorer and the rich got richer.
But twenty million adults
who owned no securities in 1900
possessed them in 1892 and GER
tainly those individuals had
become richer by that property
and not poorer.
In 1900 only five million peo-
pie had savings bank deposits,
whereas in 1880 fifty-two mil
lion individual Americans car.
ried savings bank accounts.
Certainly those fift..rtwo mil
lion persons had become richer
and not poorer than they were
in 1900.
In 1880 there were only
seven million home owners in
America and in 1880 fourteen
million people owned their
homes.
On an average of four to the
family, this meant fifty-Six mil
lion people living in homes
which they themselves owned!
No other country in the world
can make such a boast.
In 1900 eight thousand peo-
pie throughout the United

ing the Senate these unpal-
atable truths:
That the public debt Of the
United States which . few
months ago Appropriated thirty
billion dollars has by recent en-
actment now reached the as
founding total Of forty-five bill
lion dollars.
That the public debt Of the
48 States will amount before

debt of 5000 odd counties, &c..
900 odd cities, towns and viii

That this total public debt Of

governments must be pledged
by the American people against
their total national wealth now
estimated at only two hundred
billion dollars.
This is a "first mortgage on
America" which coming genera

RICH AND POOR
Now comes a contributor to
the current issue Of The Re-
view of Reviews with another
melancholy contribution on the
same subject. In an article en-.
titled "A Tidal Wave Of Taxes"
this contributor points out that
this burden must be borne by
the poor as we'll as by the rich.
"The poor are being soaked
every hour of the day." says
this contributor, largely
through hidden taxes-an in
teresting, painless device con-
ceived by the professional poll
ticians. Scarcely one person in
10 today in America is con"
scious of these hidden taxes
largely because he does not
have them handed to him in
the form of q BILL"
BY way of hiding from the
plain people on whom the bur
den of taxes chiefly falls the
fact that they are being taxed
to support hordes of political
parasites on the public pay
roll the politicians resort to all
sorts of devices.
Take the farmer by way of
example. He pays, according
to the statistician cited in this
article, the following six taxes:

States owned automobiles
against twenty three million in
1880.
In 1900 there were only seven
million life insurance policy
holders in the entire country.
In 1920 sixty-six million peo-
pie owned policies with an &C.
tual paid-up value Of twenty
three billion dollars.
Life insurance has become one
of the safest investments for
people of all classes, and 1t
is certainly a credit to this
nation that sixty-Six million in
dividuals have the money to in
vest in this form of security.
The aggregate farm wealth
Of the United States is placed at
fifty-seven billion dollars, with
less than nine billion dollars
of mortgages against this great
asset.
Nearly sixty per cent of our
farms have no mortgages on
them of any kind, and over
nine million homes have no
mortgage at all on them.
All this simply proves that
great commercial activities may
