PLAZA NOTES

John Testers Royal British Mid
gets, who bring their amazing lilipu-
tian circus and varieties to the stage
OF the New Plaza Theatre, Milford,
today and tomorrow, Friday and Sat
urday, September IS and IS, have
probably the most unusual variety of
English dialects ever heard together
at one time. AS they hail from var
ious parts of Great Britain, their
variations of speech run all the way
from the intriguing COekney Of the
London White Chapel District to the
burr of the Scotch and the broad in
fections of the Lancashire and
down country" paTlance.
While all these clever little Brit
ishers have little difficulty in under
standing one another, the average
American student of languages will
have a difficult time decipheFing
their quaint idioms. Represented
among the dialects are those of
Yorkshire, Birmingham, White Cha
pei, New Castle, Leeds, Lancashire,
Donegal, Fifshire, Welsh and Cork
oman.
Dubbed the Little Queen Mary of
the Mites" by British Journalists,
she is conceded to be the worlds
smallest circus star, performing as
she does on the flying trapeze and
Roman rings, as equestrianism. Her
aerial work IS said by critics to be
in the same category as that of the
late Lillian Leitzel, for many years
before her death the outstanding
star of the Ringing -Barnum & Bail
ey Circus.
Mary Finn is the offspring of mid
get parents, a rare phenOmena OF
nature, and she has two brothers
and two sisters. who are also little
people" She was brought up in a
convent in Birmingham, England,
and became an expert stenOgrapher
and typist at the age of q. However,
she found difficult to pursue this
profession due to her dimlnutive
size-for she is only three feet tall
and weighs but fifty pounds.

BUDGET AND EMPLOYMENT

The people employed by industry,
or those who would like to be en-
ployed, often overlook the fact that
excessive taxation of the capital or
the earnings Of business and other
governmental policies which ham-
per business, have a direct bearing
on their own employment and earn
ipgs. Those who advocate huge
spendings, by the government, on
borrowed money, must not forget
that this money must be collected
fl ON the people out of their earn
ings or by taking their capital, and
It is inevitable that the poor as we'll
as the rich must pay the bill. I'm
fortunately, the burden aimed at
the rich often falls most heavily
upon the poor, for when business
men and those Of large means fear
heavy taxes as the result of public
extravaganza, or cannot determine
what the government will do to in
terfere with their capital invest
ments, they hesitate to undertake
development or new enterprise. and
opportunity for employment is cor
respOndingly restricted.
It Is not business alone, there
fore, that should advocate a stTicter
balancing Of income and expendi-
ture by the government, but those
who labor are equally interested and
affected. When business and indus
try are relieved of the uncertainties
that have prevailed. and know that
in venturing they have something to
gain and not everything to lose, cap
ital will be employed and men and
women will likewise have work. The
balancing of the national govern
mental budget is more important in
the solution Of the unemployment
problem than many of us realize, as
the governments own Department
of Commerce intimates.-Winches-
ter, Va, Star.

PAssAMAQUODDE AGAIN

I'VE are going to have QuOddy,
says President Roosevelt to an au-
dience as CampobellO Island. "QuOd-
dy will be completed / believe in
QuOddy and l believe you do, too"
This astonishing statement comes
three and a half months after the
President himself, in a White House
conference, apparently sounded taps
over the 100000 embarrassing
project by saying Il was "Out."
Since the President has at last de-
cided to take Congress into partner
ship by what warrant does he make
the fiat statement, I've are going
to have Quoddy?" How can he con-
fidently assure the people of Maine
that this project is going through?
The fact is, his assurance is in
contemptuOus disregard of Con-
4 believe in Quoddy," say the
President.
His Public Works Administrator,
Mr.. Ickes, unless he has changed
his mind since 1888. does not be-
lieve in QuOddy. When it was offer
ed to him in that year, by Promoter
Dexter Cooper, friend of the Pres
i6ent, Mr.. Ickes turned it down.
The engineering division of PWA
turned 1t down.
So did the PWA Board of Review.
So did the Federal Power Commits
sion.
So did the Army Corps of Engi-
neers.
And before all these agencies tur-
ned thumbs down on Quoddy, it was
rejected by private interests which,
after advancing $50O,O0O to Mr.. Coo
per for preliminary surveys, decided
his tide-harnessing plan was not
feasible.

IT SHOULD BE REPEALED
Wlneha.ler. Va.. 80

HNHeAA-~@"HNHN
Governor Landon Is right when he
says that the new law passed by the
recent Congress taxing undistribut-
ed corporate surpluses is a cock
eyed piece of legislation.
Sufficient time has not elapsed to
enable the public to determine the
full effect Of this act, but common
sense must condemn Il without watt
ing to see its ultimate results.
We summarize some Of its faults:
/. It discriminates against the
small corporations. BY preventing
the accumulation OF earnings for the
purpose Of expansion, the big cor
porations will stay big and the small
business companies viii stay small.
2. II retards business recovery
and prevents the employment of
people who would obtain work
through business development Bus
iness cannot go forward as it should
II a proper share Of the earnings
cannot be utilized for expansion.
8. It win cripple many small con-
Germs to the point Of bankruptcy. If
a business owing large debts must
pay out it's earnings in dividends in
stead of reducing its debts, It in
evitably faces disaster.
4. It removes the stabilizing fac
tor against recurrent depressions. II
some of the large corporations had
not had substantial reserves to rely
upon during the recent depression,
many OF them would have either fail
ed or been compelled to so reduce
their operations as to greatly aggra-
vate the difficulties.
s. It gives officials Of the govern
ment control over the business of
the country that it should not exert.
The board of directors Of cOrpOr-
alton are the proper officers to de-
termine the financial policy Of the
business, and if they do so in con-
formity with the law and public in
terest, the government has not right
to meddle with their decisions.
There are other objections to the
law, but these are sufficient to make
it urgent that the next Congress vote
its repeal.

He Wanted to Be Like a British

NCE here was Young Man
named Cyril Frappey who
prided himself on the Fact
that he never made Show
of his Emotions. He wanted to be
like a British NObleman, who can
go through an Explosion without
shifting his MOnOcle. He knew that
Men would secretly envy him and
Beautiful Women would eat out

Mr.. Frappey didn't have any An

Long Idle
Contract Being Closed for
Further Development of
Victor Gold Property.
TO OPERATE UNDER
LEASE AGREEMENT

It is probable that further develop
ment work will soon start on the Victor
Gold Mining company property in the
Granite creek gulch south of Libby
Libby stockholders are in receipt Of
letters from the company's officers
which state that a contract has been
entered into with William Cook of Spo-
kane whereby Cook will do develop
ment work on the property under a
lease agreement
Cook contracts to spend $4,000 on
the property within three years, and
not less than $5,000 shall be spent the
first year. Cook shall have the right
to cancel the contract if the explora-
ton work proves nothing. In payment
for his expenditures, Cook shall re-
ceive IS per cent of all mill or smelter
returns up to $10O,0000O and if he
complies in all respects to the terms of
the contract, 100000 shares of stock.
Stockholders are being asked to turn
back III escrow 10 per cent Of their
stock to make up the 100000 shares that
will go to Cook provided he meets the
terms Of the contract RI the contract
Is forfeited, the 10 per cent of stock
will be returned to the original holders.
The Victor property is one on which
diamond drilling was done several
years ago and which revealed evidence
OF an ore vein of very high gold con-
tent Development work since that
time has failed to reach the vein.
