That time was before Congress Gen.
tralized the power to pursue these
plunderers. State laws were varied:
local officers were hampered by the
fact that they could not follow their
quarry beyond county or state lines.
Extradition was difficult. The bank
robber. aided by thousand forms of
underworld assistance which reared a
barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT against
law-enforcement. became rich and
proud and powerful and arrogant. 1t
was not unusual for such men to gross
100000 year from their marauding
efforts. John Dillinger, Pretty Boy"
Floyd, Baby Face" Nelson. Eddie
Bentz. Al Brady. Alvin Karpis and
others enjoyed these huge profits and
the American public believed itself
powerless against their onslaughts.
Murder and robbery were rampant
as these rowing bands rushed about
the country in automobiles and air
planes. The lives of police. of state
and Federal officers, and of citizens
were sacrificed to their blood-lust.
At last, there arose cry of protest
1t came from every state and city and
hamlet in America. 1t rose to surg
ing roar which became thunderous in
its demands, and those demands we're
answered by far-seeing men who had
been forced by the very lethargy of
the public to wait for just this protest.

Goodbye, Bank Robber!
Continssd fron poge Two

You get the type of law enforce
ment you ask for. and you rarely get a
strong, aggressive enforcement until
there is sufficient demand. For years.
there had been honest efforts to rid
the country of our bank robbers, but
there had been little aid from public
opinion. In fact. there was much OBJ
struction - too many persons looked
on bank robbers as daring heroes.
But once the tide of public opinion
turned. reinforcement could pro-
ceed as it should have proceeded long
before. There was public aid in the
detection of crimes and the apprehen-
sion of the criminals. Public opinion
saw that the proper type of men were
allowed to take their place in the jury
box. Public opinion upheld the efforts
of courageous District Attorneys.
Public opinion approved the wiping
out of the filthy nests of the under
world in which offenders had hidden.
and applauded the sentencing of gun
molls," hideout owners. ammunition
buyers, assistants of crime, handy
men, messengers and camp followers.
Public opinion was with US in the
effort to make clean sweep - and
we made it.
Thus, where bank robbery was con-
cerned, public opinion got what it
wanted - just as it did in the war on
kidnapers.

A MATEUR photographers who
~ wish to produce pictures of
artistic worth will find few
fields more fertile than
photography of trees. Good tree
studies have a decorative quality al
most unsurpassed. and the various
species possess nearly as much in
dividuality as human beings.

One rule should be particularly
observed in tree pictures; that is. that
the tree is the important thing, the
background strictly secondary. A low
horizon is usually best. especially
when the height of tree should be
emphasized; this can be obtained by
masking the bottom of the negative

Pancho Villa had maintained head
quarters through bloody years.
On one occasion. Andrea. returning
home from school in California, noticed
that she was the only woman on the
train. When she reached the little
junction of Jimenez, she found out
why Rebels had burned the town:
dead and dying lay in the streets.
Fear and hunger -crazed civilians
looted the wounded soldiers. Impor-
tunate beggars ripped open her bags,
tore her coat from her shoulders, de-
manding food or money.
Andrea tried desperately not to
show how frightened she was. MIR.
Lees, in Cienguilla, had heard the
Jimenez news and came squirting into
the junction town. He threw his
daughter across his saddle-bow, as in
days of old. and they galloped out of
town to bullets tune
Another time, Yaqui Indians went

Raleigh, March 27-The Man in the
Street, John @. Public, or whatever
you may call him, will not feel any
big increase in his taxes during the
next two years, despite the fact that
General Assembly wrote a revenue
bill which proposes to raise the larg-
est sum ever collected from the States
citizens in a similar period.
This seeming paradox comes about
from the fact that the bigger yield
is expected to come from generally
increased business and form taxes le-
We'd on new sources. rather than from
increased rates of taxation on previ-
ously -existing items.
In fact, in some instances the aver
age citizen will pay less taxes, or at
least a lesser rate. For example, the
cost of automobile license tags has
been reduced five cents on the hun
dred weight, and half a score staple
necessities have been exempted from
the sales tax.
What the revenue bill is estimated
by the Department of Revenue to
raise during the next biennium is $75,-
upon an anticipated increase in bust
ness activity of only seven per cent
and there are few competent observ
ers who do not expect business to adj
vance at an even quicker pace.
Present estimates show an antici-
pated deficit of slightly less than
100000 for the biennium, but it is
generally believed that these esti-
mates are so conservative that they
may be needed for the 100000 di-
version of highway funds authorized
