But I'll bet with Lloyd's of
London, that it's the hostesses
and the chewing gum that
keep the average air traveller
from being frightened to death

him and sudden death but a

as a plane.

Tory SpuTC IN DuS1neSS.
The reasons are easy to understand. Probably
the chief one is the general recognition that this
is the same thing that has been going on for
four years. It doesn't take an economist to see
that Government spending merely stops business
spending, and drops us into renewed depression.
That is the lesson of 1937-1938.

court BILLS GO
TO ROOSEVELT
Taxicab Measure
In Deadlock

Final approval was given the
Juvenile Court bill in the Senate
today following adoption of the
conference report yesterday by the
House.
Today'S action sent the bill to
the President for signature.
With the District tax bill al
ready on the Presidents desk,
awaiting approval, the taxicab
liability bill remained the only Dis
trict measure of Importance over
which the two branches of Con-
gress were battling.
UP TO SENATE
Following the rejection by the
House of the conference report on
the taxicab bill yesterday, the
measure was back in the lap Of
the SElate, with the House and
Senate divided on the proposal to
permit organized cab operators to
file blanket bonds in lieu of sepa.
rate insurance policies on each
cab.
AS the bill passed the House
blanket bonds were permitted. The
Senate struck out this provision
and insisted on separate protec-
ton for each cab.
With the House standing pat
on its original position, the Sen.
ate was confronted with the alter.
native of backing down on the
bond issue or refusing to compro-
mise and allowing the bill to die
with an adjournment of Congress.
Senator King, chairman of the
District Committee, indicated he
would ask another conference with
the House in new effort to work
out an agreement.
REPORT ADOPTED
Debated furiously for two hours
in the House, the $500, 900 reve.
nue. bill for 1899 finally was
passed when the House adopted
the conference report, which pre-
viously had been approved by the
Senate.
The measure as it now goes to
the White House provides for con-
tinuation of the business privilege
tax, in a modified form; a beer
tax of SO cents a barrel, and con-
tinuation of the ascent raise in
the real estate rate.
Although admitting the business
privilege tax is only an expedient
and mot the ideal form of taxa
tion," proponents of the confer
ence report succeeded In defeating
an effort of Representative -1'in-
cent L. Palmisano CD of Mary.
land; chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee, to kill the meas
ure.
This tax, now a flat two-fifthS
of l per cent on gross receipts,
provides for a scaling rate, begin
ming at one-tenth of per cent
and rising to the current rate. The
scale is predicated on the spread
between cost of commodities and
their resale price. The bill con-
tinueS the $40 license fee for all
businesses and professions.

I am not blaming these other countries. I
realize they cannot pay their debts. AS keep
saying, I think England France and America
must stand together, but why oh why, should we
hand everything over to Germany that may, in
time, and probably would, mean the destruction

that anything we manufacture or produce our
selves which we release to other countries if the
real battle ever begins, is going to turn on us

for this, including everything from food to

Our wonderful forefathers started America
through sheer determination and fighting to keep
what they had. While distance is eliminated
now and time practically done away with, that
is no excuse for us always to be the one sucker
nation in the world and hand over everything
that is asked of us.
My deep admiration and sincere respect go to
Herr Eckener, but I truly hope that the President
and Secretary 1ckes will stand firm on this point
and we will keep our rare and precious helium gas

made of mud and some made Of moss.

The stock market showed an i'm
proved tone today after yester-
days reaction. Prices were higher
generally in the first hour, but
scattered selling toward midday
cut the gains and brought irregu-
larity in spots.
Steels pointed higher for a while
and then retreated. Bethlehem
went under the previous close and
U. S. Steel lost a fractional gain.
Most of the chemicals were
higher except for Air Reduction.
Motors did little, though General
Motors edged up fractionally and
Nash dipped. Johns Manville lost
a point gain in the building divi
sion.
Fractional gains were the rule
in the farm implements and the
railroad shares. but dealings were
on a small scale.
