fcent balance the loss in payments made from corporate

Few observers would hold this failure of income to
equal estimates the Of weakness in Government
bonds There thought that the present Administration
will have default But the question does arise: Will Mr.
Roosevelt have to borrow and heavily than
he guessed: Will he not again defer the ongpromsed
balancing of his budget
Jnquesonably. the fear that the bond market (chieflv
banks and insurance companes) will be called upon to alb
sorb Government debt than they had barganed for has
been one factor i'll the recent weakness
incidentally. it is significant the Administration
controlled Federal Reserve Banks last week added $56
100000 their holdings of longterm Government bonds
The member banks however sold $19600O00 of all sorts Of
Government securities.
This whole situation raises the question whether taxes as
imposed not getting to the point where they too
high Maybe this failure Of stiff get results
another indication that the which lays tax eggs is
weakening.
There plenty of evidence however as for example
the growing to indirect taxes which fall heaviest
upon the poor These include sales tobacco
and gasoline the proposed sugar tax etc Such taxes would
hardly be imposed if other sources were available.
note too the growing resistance to bearing tax burdens
This is widespread inability to collect property taxes
reduced contributions to charity the high price of axexempt
bonds and in the of accountants and lawyers main
tanned by those who seek to Tighten their loads
Again have you stopped to think just why that the A
mnlstraon does not balance its budget Mr. Roosevelt has
always talked of the desrablv of balanced budget
assume the reason ne not actually attain
balance is that he considers be high enough taxes
are not too high why not raise them and down the growing
public debt?
Thus conclude that there only remedy for the
situation. which remedy reduce the spending Il would
start by stopping the wasefu and naonary buying of silver
and then cut the Nations relief bill by giving relief people
who really need relief without all this wasteul and terribly de-
morazng work relief" system which is turning Nation
into sort of "work house "
If we really want to make Governments bonds good
must make the dollars good which those bonds pay In other
words We must stop and correct the growing nflation
This we Will never do until cut Government spending down

clearly worth while to all intelligent and socially minded TAX
In the last analysis it is the taxpayer who buy

The income TAX returns apparently are run
ning about $15OOOOOOO below the Admins
trations estimate for the quarter, the chief
shortage being in the returns expected on
account of the new corporate surplus tax
that was forced through the last session Of
Congress. Evidently, either corporations had
less surplus than estimated or stockholders
had smaller incomes, or both.
It is easily possible that the chief weak

She caught her breath as the
apartment bell rang and stood star
ing at her husband. He was star
ing at her. His mouth was open.
He was trembling. His stricken
glance fell away from her and he
got up slowly and went to the door
and opened it. She struggled back
into her negligee. Pulled it about
her. She heard Joe talking.
"Oh, hello, Tom" he said. Come
on in. Cora's here. Hey. Cora,

He came into the room followed
by the detective. Donnelly's right
hand was in his coat pocket. His
hat remained on his head. Cora
pulled the negligee more closely
about her so that it accentuated
her softening curves.
Hello, Mrs. Dilbow," Donnelly
nodded, his eyes on Dilbow, Joe,
I guess you know what I'm here
for"
"Yeh," Dilbow said softly. 81

his coat pocket and brought forth
a revolver. Here's the gun, Tom.

They must've come up to his room
and give it to him right around
then"
He went on talking, marveling
about how quickly death could
come. She paid no attention to
him. She was thinking, 80 it was
you who came between me and my
Toni. You're the-thing that
stopped him from telling me again,
he loved me. How I hate you, Joe

to be! 1t says here somebody
heard the shots and called the
cops. And they got up there be-
fore halfpast." He sat forward in
his chair, the paper hanging from
his hand as he stared at nothing
and thought out loud.
IT bet Tom Donnelly'l get to
handle this case. He's on the
Homicide Squad. You know Tom,
Cora. Heavy-set guy. Big Shout
ders. Cold eyes. A tough baby.
He'd made a good gambler. You
never can figure him. Sure. He's
a cinch to handle this one.

GOOD-BY KISS

She was in the room in the Hill.
lard in which she had been so
deliriously happy only "a hours
ago. And the man who had given
her that happiness was lying
under a sheet on the bed and a
policeman was sitting in the room
smoking a cigarette.
She wished she could push past
the policeman and lift the sheet
and look just this once more at
Toni. At his sleek black hair. At
his crooked, smiling mouth. She
wanted to bend down and kiss him
good-by.
But she couldn't. She couldn't
even be near him as death Stalked
into his room and blasted his life
out. She couldn't, but Joe, here,
could. Joe, the stupid, soft gam
bier. Joe, who wanted nothing
more from him than the money
he could take from him on a horse
race.
There he was, standing there
and recording a bet while she was
trying to talk to Toni only to have
him tell her he could not talk to
her then. Joe had robbed her of
TOMS last words. The hatred
which had been slightly buried
under her contempt for Joe Dill
bow fought free now and was all
consummating and reckless.
"Yeh," Dilbow was saying,
'Tomll be on this case. And he'll
get whoever done it. He's a hell
Of a good detective. Five will get

Listen you-you scum!" Cora's

eyes were blazing. II hate you!
I've hated you for years. And

you hear, you cheap small-time
gambler? loved Toni! For over
a year. And here's something for
