Will Sing Soprano Role
TT HAS always been difficult

TT HAS always been difficult to
define the voice of Rose hampton,
lovely young "contralto" member of
the Metropolitan Opera Co.. because
of her wide range, but she sailed
recently for Europe for the purpose
Of undertaking her first full-f1eoged
dramatic soprano role the end Of
September, which part will be
Leonora in I'll Trovatore." She will
also fulfill q number of concert en-
gagements.
There has always been some specu-
lation regarding the exact classical
ton of her voice. In her early stu
dent days it was thought that she
might be q coloratura soprano. A
cold, developed on night train trip,
with the subsequent visit to a throat
specialists Office, started the argu-
ment about her being a contralto.
Ever since she has been singing con-
tralto music, but with a voice con-
stantly growing higher in range and
increasing in fiexibility. Astonished
audiences recently heard her in such
typical soprano arias as pace, Pace,
Mic Dio" from la Fora del Des-
tino," 'Ernani Involami" from Err
mana" and "Un Bel Dr. from Mad
anne Butterfly"

Roper, that he and other union leaders had been assured by Copeland that this authority would not be us ed to prevent the unions from striking. This statement, WeaV- CT confirmed.
 The unions are opposed to the exercise of this authority because they feared the service certifcat- es, revocation features, and con tinuous discharge books, might be used to prevent strikes.
 A discharge book is a docu- ment issued to the workers show ing their length of service, dis charge date, and each time they have changed employment.

Non Partisan Leaguer

Although Lemke's claim to a national reputation has been his authorship and sponsorship in the House of the Frazier-Lemke farm debt refinancing bill, he has been a political factor in North Dakota for twenty years.
 Active in the formation of the Non-Partisan League there, he was Attorney General of the State in 1921, but was recalled from that office along with Lynn J. Frazier, then Governor and now United States Senator and co-sponsor of the Frazier Lemke Bill.
 He was elected to Congress in 1882 as a Non-Partisan on the Republican ticket.
 The Non-Partisan industrial program was based on a series of measures largely prepared by Lemke.

the government shunts off too large proportion of the national stream of goods and services that stream sim ply dries up The reward of those who produce the stream dare not be cut below the point at which the incentive to produce disappears And the heaviest tax rates earth avail nothing if there is physical in come (current producon) for the government to buy with its tax funds.
 It is sometimes said that when the government taxes corporations especially big' and "rilh' cor porations-the taxes painless far the ndivid ual citizen is concerned.
 Of course, that is nonsense. Corporations do not exist of and by misunderstanding in air and dissoci ated from human beings. Corporations are always owned by somebody. They are merely aggregations of property the title to which is split up in many por- tons and passed about stock certificates. When a corporation is taxed it's taxed. There is other way out of it.
 But that isn't all. When the government, with its tax money, comes into the market for goods and vices for its wards it necessarily competes with every man who has his own income to spend in the market places So the government not only takes the citizens money from him, but turns around and bids against him for share of the flow of production upon which every person in the land depends for living
 Taxes are necessary Nobody doubts that, govern ments must be maintained. The real question is how expensive government any country afford to have Straight thinking the problem is the first essen tal Ii that question is to be properly answered-Ex

RISING GOLD SUPPLY MAY PRODUCE A BOOM.

It would be fine joke somebody if gold-that przed and maligned yellow metal from which nation after nation has cut the moorngs of its currency should yet be the through which suffering world might re-enter the magic land of prosperity
 Such possibility is actually in the cards. Wheth- CT 1t will in fact be dealt out s course an open qes- ton; but it is there, waiting for the fates to bring it if they minded.
 A writer in a recent issue of the New Republic pointed out for one thing, that there has been an m- mense increase in the stock of monetary gold held in the United States In 1930 that stock stood at about S4,OOO, 900; today, it nearly $10,50O 900.
 Furthermore, the excess reserves of Federal Re- serve member banks so great that approximately 900 of additional loans could be made again st them.
 Thus if imitation means issuance of new money and extension of credit, could have bg-healthy dose of it in this country even if anchored our currency most solidly to gold.
 But that is only part of the picture. In June, the London Economist pointed out that world production of gold has increased tremendously all through the de- presson Before the depression the record for world production set in 1915 with output of 23 OOO 900 ounces. In 1885, production 100000; by 194O it will probably be 40,0OOOOO
 The worlds stock of monetary gold has been in- creased by more than 32 per cent since 1929

ON THE MEANING OF TAXES

With the "twentybilon dollar' Congress out of the way and the United States Treasury beginning it's new fiscal year. there is perhaps time for reflection upon the subject of taxes During the political campaign, that subject most certainly not over- looked by either side. But political campaigns have a way of generating heat rather than light.
 Taxation talk in recent months has been expressed in terms for the most part of soaking somebody One day 1t is the rich that to be soaked One day it is the big corporation. Another day it is the thrifty who bear the brunt. Then somebody comes along and gets pretty close to the truth by declaring that every body pays taxes and MT. Average Citizen gets his full share of the soaking.
 Once in while, it is good idea to think about these things without putting it all down in terms of money The tax question becomes readily under standable with the dollar signs left out.
 For what does any government really do when it taxes its citizens
 NO modern government wants money just for the sake of having money Ancient kings used to do that sort of thing and piled up treasure in their store houses But nowadays governments collect money thru taxes in order to be able to spend money They spend money for goods and services like anyone else
 So what government really does with it's taxing power to take control of certain share of the nations annual production of goods and services The stream of goods and services, economists would put it. flows along through the efforts of labor, management and capital, and from that fow the government diverts proportion to it's uses.
 Hence, when we say that taxes amount to nearly one-ffth of the national income merely mean that onefth of all the goods and services being produced in the United States are shuned into the hands, not of their producers but of the government.
 The government itself as an institution has no great for goods and services It passes those goods and services along to it's employes-good bad and in different So it all comes back to the very simple fact that those persons who living off the government by and another in reality living off the rest of the population.
 When taxes considered as a diversion not of money from those who presumably able pay but of current production switched out of the regular homie stream and into the hands of those who hold claims against the government the real meaning of taxes becomes more apparent
 So does the limit on taxation For when as and if
