Random Notes

Hon. Arnold M. Golden also stretched
the Editor of The West End News over the
Goals for reporting that he favored the high
er tax rate in Council.
Mr.. Golden's justification for his atti
tuGe on the question does not appeal to us.
There is great doubt as to whether Con
gress meant the rate mentioned in the Act
of Congress to be mandatory or simply to
be in effect and serve as spur until an
acceptable tax bill be passed by the Coun
ell.
When the Council takes action if it a.
dept the lower rate, it will know what Con
gress meant. If it adopt the high rate it
would never know what the Congress had
in mind as to the tax rate.

slapped the ground hard with his big,

Yowler jumped also but not on Peter,
or even in Peters direction. When he

" Peter Rabbit was lucky. Peter
says that Yowler was lucky.
- PADDY the Beaver, who wit
messed 1t all and ought to know. says
that both were lucky. You will, I
think, have to decide the matter for
yourself.
1t all happened in the moonlight
over by the pond of Paddy the Beaver,
deep in the Green Forest. Paddy was
cutting down a big tree. Peter was
watching Paddy, watching so intently
that he had forgotten everything else.
He had carelessly moved out into the
open, and there he sat in the moon
light, for any one who might pass
that way to see. I doubt If he was
even aware that he was out in the
open.
Yowler the Bobcat had started TO
stalk Paddy, all the time with the
most pleasant Of thoughts, thoughts
OF Beaver dinner. Then he had seen
Peter come out in the moonlight.
Thoughts of Beaver dinner gave way
to thoughts of Rabbit dinner. Pad
dy would fight If cornered, and he had
wicked teeth wherewith to fight.

that, once he was within jumping
distance, Peter would be his. He had
only to circle around 50 as to get to
the other side of that stump in order
TO get within the desired jumping dis
tance.
When the Black Shadows steal out
from the Purple Hills across the
Green Meadows and through the
Green Forest they make no sound.
Yowler was just as quiet as he circled
around, sneaking from stump to tree

keep him from watchful eyes in case
there were any about. Peters eyes
were not watchful. They were fas-

lucky for him that he did, for that
tree came crashing down on the very
spot where he had been a second be-
fore. As 1t was, some Of the smaller
branches struck him and knocked
him over. They hurt, but they did
him no real harm.
Meanwhile Peter Rabbit had taken
to his long heels, first startled by
Paddy's warning, and then frightened
by the crash of the tree. He didn't

While all the other West players had
opened the bidding with a spade, the
bid which eventually led to disaster,
Mr. Kaplan opened with an apparently
unorthodox one-club bid. While most
players recognize the value of opening
with the lower suit when holding two
four-carders in clubs and spades, with
two f1ve-card suits. the higher ranking
suit Is always bid first. This is gen.
orally proper. but with a fairly weak
hand such as Mr.. Kaplan held, the
opening club bid will be found advan-
tageous since the spade can be shown
at low level and rebid If necessary
to show the f1ve-card length.
Following Mr.. Kaplan's one-club bid
North passed and Mrs. Leary responded
with one heart South overcalled with
one spade. MIR. Kaplan was not quite
prepared to double one spade; hence,
hoping his opponents would bid again,
he called two clubs. When North
promptly doubled, Mrs. Leary rescued
in diamonds, which South probably
should have doubled. But, feeling
that his overcall had been none too
strong, he decided to pass. When
Mr.. Kaplan passed, North raised to
two spades. This bid was passed
around to Mr.. Kaplan, who now glee-
fully doubled.
There was not much to the play.
MIR. Kaplan took four spade tricks and
club, his partner a diamond and q
heart. Thus the opponents were set
300 points, the only minus score for
North and South in the entire room.

TAX BILL HITS
LITTLE FELLOW
By Representative Charles A.
Plumley of Vermont

] VI N@A
The new tax bill might be called
"An Act to discourage small busi-
ness, to encourage monopoly, and to
/ prevent competition" II is aimed
not at the large corporations which
have accumulated an adequate sur
l plus, but at the small one which
wishes to save that it may expand; ;
not at the man who has reached the
high places, but at the man who is
battling his way up.
The business of this country is
done by corporations. Half a mil
lion of them filed returns for 1888
and only 100000 reported net in
come. And of those more than 10000
made less than $4,000 net income in
the year.
This is a country of corporations,
but IL is not a country of big cor
pOratiOns: rather il is a country of
small corporations. eager to grow. to
give more work to more men and
women, pay better dividends. and
build new plants. And it is at the
owners of these corporations. am
bitiOus men, thrifty men. that this
bill is aimed.
The truth is that this bill is not
aimed at the existing surpluses at !
all. 1t will not touch the fifty mil |
lions and the hundred millions. |
Those companies will continue to |
hold their surpluses. II is the small |
company that wants to build up that |
will be the victim.
Not only is this tax bill aimed at
small business, it is aimed at one of
the fundamentals on which the Unit
ed States has been built-the en-
of competition for the
of monopoly. Old we'll
organizations, well en-
Lranched financially, will find them
selves in far better economic po-
iitiOn as compared with less well fl
entrenched existing COM
lanies, or with those new companies
which seek to start in business. We
10 not prevent monopoly so much by
'assing laws as we do by permitting.
Ven encouraging. small business to
row bigger to try out new ideas.
We debate measures to prevent
'rice-fiXing, We plan to pass a bill
which will make it increasingly pos
ible to maintain arbitrary prices.
