porations affected by the public
utility holding company act have
Jointly offered Cooperation" to
SEC in enforcing the act, both
sides seem to- have their fingers
crossed.
The point on which the holding
companies managed to be specific
was that the fundamental prin-
ciple of diversity of investment

geographical location Of operating
properties and character Of the
business served by them =.
should be Preserved in the public
interest"
The act says holding companies
must be geographically .integrated.
SEC officials, believing the words
diversified" and ''integrated" are
anfonyms, suspect the big power
companies may be trying to win
with SEC the fight against the
death sentence they lost in
Congress and before the Supreme
Court.
Holding companies point to the
advantage Of diversified risk and
claim geographical diversiAcation
Is needed II they are to raise new
capital. SEC Chairman William
0. Douglas assures them SEC in
tends, to. carry out the acts aim
Of promoting efficiency of opera
ton, lower electricity rates and
sterilization Of investment.
There will be no death SEN
tence' where a holding company
can justify its terms Of service to

says. "on the contrary, it holds,

A. GROUP Of New York and

connecting a solemn letter adj
dressed to Chief Justice Hughes.
The message suggests that dignity
and prestige of the Supreme
Court have suffered from reports
that justices have been critcizing

and that certain justices are being
widely quoted as having made
such comments. Citing their be-
lief that such stories are "unseem-

VOTES AND TAXES ARE CLOSELY

out loud. rather than making serious
proposal. when he remarked at recent
press conference that it might be good
idea to have the citizens pay their taxes
on election day. = ..
Whether such stunt would be at all
popular is an open question, Election day
seems to be tough enough as it is; at any
rate, about half of us can't even take the
trouble to go TO the polls. Making it tax
payment day as well would just make a
tough day tougher. -.
And in any case the President wasn't
Offering a formal plan;S he was Just toss
ing out suggestion, and the odds are that
the suggestion will never be acted on, But
when you stop to think about it there is
good deal to recommend it.
There are two things about which we
do lot of empty talking: democracy, and
taxes. y
We plume ourselves on our democracy,
in season and out of season. We enjoy
reading about the fake elections, of the
relationships, and we like to remind our
selves how different it all is over here
how every man has vote which he casts
according to the dictates of his own con-
science, how all men are equal at the bal
lot box, and how we are absolute masters
of our own destiny: e.. =.
Then, in the next breath, We like to
complain about taxes. They are too high,
too numerous, too complicated. The money
that goes into them is not well spent. We
don't get much for our dollars; the politi-
clans are wasteful and spend without pro-
per forethought.
Aud so we go on; we brag about our
voting rights and lament about our taxes,
and never stop to realize the direct con-
nection there is between the two.
If we set aside one day Tor the exercise
of both functions, We might realize, for
one thing, that our citizenship is a privi-
lege that is well worth paying for, Not
many people In this modern world enjoy
the freedom of the polls. The mere fact
that we do have it sets us apart. We en-
joy boon denied to many millions of
people; can't We pay for it with a good
grace? ~ as -s-'-e
Second, we might also realize that the
way we exercise this privilege of voting
has a. most immediate bearing on the way
in which We are called upon to shoulder
the duty of paying taxes For these de-
spised, politicians who spend our money
are, after an, elected by ourselves, and
they are extremely sensitive about trying
to do what they think we want them to do.
II they soak Us through high tax rates,
excessive. Spending programs and all the
rest, Il can not possibly be anyones fault
but our own. - F" ~
II we went direct from the polling booth
t6<the tax collectors office we ought tc
have a much clearer idea about the priyi
lege of the ballOt--and the responsibilft,
that goes with it.

"THIs coRIoUs WORLD"


Nature has it's own way about do
ing things and we make poor outs
at improving them. This fact is
impressed by Tom Mullinax's pc
tunia beds in front of the State
Trust company which he cultivat-
ed into beautiful gardens for the
past few years. The dirt was dry
and crusty and appeared unfavor-
able for the examination of any
kind of seed excepting that Of
weeds, which manage to come de-
spite conditions. The volunteer
petunia seeds from last summers
flowers came up in great abund-
ance and grew so thickly they had
to be thinned.
Rupert Jackson, florist, mean
while complained of his failure at
getting a stand of some very cost
ly petrnia seeds he planted and
tended with great care.
Seedsmen say the tiny seeds,
very likely much smaller than the
proverbial mustard seed, should
be planted in sifted soil, covered
one-sixteenth of an inch thick and
kept moist for termination and
roofing. But nature departed a
long ways from that man-made
rule. %E.. -
