in a rubber game at the Regency

able. But by making q fine defensive

It was incumbent upon him to show

At this point Mr.. Cushing doubled

West should have opened 4 club,

After winning, declarer played .

with the queen, Mr.. Cushing paused
to reflect. He remembered that de-
clarer had failed to trump spade

chance Of defeating the contract.
Mr.. Cushing therefore returned his

doomed to defeat. He overlook his

WHAT! CUT THE ROAD BUDGET?

1t has always been contention that President
Roosevelt is courageous man. He has demonstrated
it forcefully in the plan. the curb big bust
ness monopoly and in countless other instances And
now in message to Congress-, the Chief Executive
tops all his previous Without visible tremor
he recommends to the elected gentlemen who make
up the Congress that highway appropriations be cutl
Even the thought let alone the act is enough to
cold chils down the spine of politician What!
Cut the roads funds? 1t would be hard to find back
in the musty records one instance of where any man
named to office by popular vote had sufficient intes-
final fortitude to suggest such thing.
Why you can't get elected county commissioner
or even town constable down in the States without
promising Bill Smith and Sam Jones piece of
road or. at least promising to send the grader out
next week to that things smoothed up bit
But the President of the United States has the
cool to propose to the gentlemen of Congress
that they advance along that line
The obviously sound reason that the approach be
made in effort to balance the budget is i'm
material But it is significant that just the Senate
Clerk got through reading the Presidents message
Senator his feet crying out that Congress
not repudate "contractoral obligation" We
don't know thing about the Arizona road program
but it is safe to assume that the Directing Senator
Carl Hayden of Arizona, is mighty with it,
and he probably knows just where some Improvements

And Senator Hayden is just one. A lot of the
other boys in the Senate and House have fairly good
working knowledge of good old vote road They are
well aware that yard of gravel on the right spur
and in front of the right driveway which way
the precinct is going And it's precincts that make
counties, and counties make states and states it
happens elect United States Senator's and parts of
those states elect members of the House of
Representatives.
Furthermore to keep those state highways up
quires many kinds of equipment-equipment which
requires Steel iron, rubber tires gasoline and what
not-all of them traced to the products of business
in many instances big business and it is big business
which has been bowling in loud voice about bal
ancing the budget.
Sure, they want TO balance the budget But you
bet they do not want to balance the expense
OF their own private business and that is exactly what
the trimming of governmental buying means. Just
as the curtament of road expenditures would mean
the cutting off of certain to those fur
nish the supplies and equipment curailment other
lines would result just the same way But what does
a sound business do when it loses business in one
place? Naturally, II tries to build up new business
at another That the job for business start
doing right now The government as the President
has reiterated must slash its expenses effort

it was announced on behalf of the
Board of Directors, other than the
MesSrs. Bronfman, that the offer to
accept preferred shares for their
cash dividends, was made by the
Bronfman family, because of their
implicit confidence in the future of
the business of this company, both
in the United States and Canada,
and because they believed it was
sound policy to reward the public
stockholders of the company, at the
same time withdrawing only min
imum amount of the cash resources
from the rapidly expanding bust
ness.
With the increased expanding
business and earninsg of the COM
pany, the Board believed that the
patience of the stockholders who
had remained without dividends
since 1881 should be rewarded by
a dividend at this time.
Approximately 1900 common
stockholders of the company, about
5000 in the United States and
! 800 in Canada will benefit by this
action.

The Confiscation of War Profits
(phoenix. Arizona Repubiic)

phoenix Arizona Republic)
The Rev. Josh Lee, U. S. senator from Oklahoma
addressing the teachers of Arizona, struck ancient
but always popular note, the other day demanding
confiscation of capital for the purposes of war
A theory that citizen should be allowed to make
use of opportunity to get rich was ardenty
urged in the World War when everybody, from the
humblest field worker wearing $40 silk shirt, to
munitions manufacturer, making more. money
than he had ever made before-that is everybody
but the boys in the trenches who offering their
lives and undergoing the direst privations for $50
month In nation of loud speaking parioteers they
were only real patriots who were offering salts
factory proof that they real patriots
We may say of them that they superpatriots
fighting as they supposed for their own land they
were Immediately offering themselves sacrifice
for the sins of Europe which had precpitated con-
flict in which had no proper concern.
Capital never became so bloated and brazen
it then Never had there been Uttered SO many
war babies. 1t little wonder then that there
vociferous demand for the confiscaton of capital
But the demand passed. along with the horrors OF
that period. y s,st ~ = II
1t is not an easy thing though, to confiscate war
capital; to separate the many kinds of war born
profits the high prices of farm products from those
of the munition makers We did, We believe get
small part of the profits of those who dealt in
death dealing materials but much of it did not
get that when the roster of milonares called
there more than had ever been created in the
short space of four years.
Less reasonable than the demand for the con-
fscation of capital is another demand for the pre-
vention of war which however would be effective
one. 1t is that when country becomes involved in
it should put its kings and dictators and presi
dents and legislators in the front line trenches and
make them lead the way in forays mo mans
land We submit that if that practice should be
made universal there would be an end of all war for
all time. We have heard of other such specific
against that would be.
But we are with the Rev. Mr. Lee on the propo-
stion to withhold profits on capital invested in the
destruction of human life and in the spread of
misery nations We only desire that the way be
pointed out for confiscation
