CHICAGO, Jan. 5 Q.N.S0-If
his pretty young wife will only
come back to him, Glen Cady to
day was ready to wear pajamas-
even if it kills him.
The bespectacled school teacher
admitted getting used to them
was one of the toughest jobs OF
his career, but that anything was
worth the struggle if Mary Cath
crime would just forget her sep
arate maintenance suit on trial
here.
But Cady's ideas about sleeping
attire-or rather, lack of it, was
only one Of the complaints lodged
against him by his wife. Too ar
dent lovemaking, she said, got to
be a bore in their household.
There was hardly time between
his kisses, she said, to get the
dishes done or listen to her fav.
orite radio program.
Cady, "a, admitted on the wit
ness stand he was rather affec-
tionate," but didn't think he'd
overdone it.
To prove he had his practical
side as well, Cady held true to his
calling as high school bookkeep-
ing instructor and hauled out an
account book with all household
expenses neatly jotted down.
He told the Judge he had pro.
vided Mrs. Cady with a perma.
nent wave every six months, a
shampoo and finger wave each 10
days and even gave her a vacuum
cleaner and electric ice box to
make things easy.
In an apparent effort to prove
he was too much in love, his
wife's attorney introduced a batch
of letters written after she left
him, pleading for her return.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
FAIRY STORY STILL

/
Revenue DEVELOPMENTS in Washington offer new
evidence that fairy stories are no more likely to
materaiize these days, for all the shortcuts to
ITtonia that have been devised than ever before.
When the huge program of ornaments was first
mentioned by the White House some weeks ago,
there was corollary assurance that no additional
taxes would be required Rather there would be
transfer of funds from existing purposes and a
general pairing of expenses to the end that money
might be provided for this necessary expenditure
without burdening the taxpayer further The Daily
News made bold to say at the time that it didn't
see how such financing, without assumption of any
additional burdens could be done. Mind you, the
ornaments program, army, navy and air corps, Is
expected to involve sufficient millions to bulge over
into the billions and the construction program nee
essarilv means the appropriations must be forth
coming for operations and upkeep. ~
Spcb low as the White House assurance brought,
however, was shortlived, for soon as Mr.. Roese-
yeIt and his advisers abandoned generahties FOR
cases the need for funds was borne IN upon them
A second statement declared that arming was to
be entirely divorced from pump-priming. More
funds would be required but the demands would
be kept in hand PoSterity would not be loaded
down under greater debt the citizens OF the pres
ent should be willing to pay for their own national
safety and security Thus program of pay-as-
you-go was advanced as the financial course 10 pc
pursued.
Now that extra cost which at the outset was de-
clared not to exist has moved so far towards ma
teriaIzaton that the treasury experts are reported
at work on a new tax bill, although some of this
group, including UnderSecretary John W. Hanes'
who has heretofore come in for such warm admin
istration praise, and various COMPRESSION leaders,
are opposed to relaunching of the tax tight at the
next session. Apparently, the ego" sign is on full
from the White House with every indication that
Mr. Roosevelt will utilize the opportunity to press
again for those tax features which business OPP
posed at the last session and which the Congress,
despite executive pressure, rejected
Thus another fairy story continues but as a
myth; an abiding myth, however, which IN time
should at least teach the American public that
every additional governmental service or activity
has to be paid for and that money-trees have
yet been developed as substitute for the taXpay-
er's pocket-Greensboro News.

THE WAY GOOD TIMES WILL COME BACK

What the Duke Power company proposes soon
to do is illustrative of the way by which good times
will come back to this country: 80
That company is going to take $7,500,000 of its
own earnings and pillow them back into capital IN
vestments out of which is expects to gather other
earnings. enlarge the volume of its commodity,
namely electric power increase its customers and
otherwise to expand its business
And in that process, machinery will be bought
for the equipment of the new plant which will
speed up operations in the industries from which
such materials are bought locally unemployed COM
mon and skilled l4bor will be hired for the con-
struction of this vast enterprise and all down the
line this private expenditure will be enrching the
markets and in the end providing new markets.
This is the way that sound and durable prosper
ity comes to a people
1t can never come any other way.
What the government spends, whether it is a
dime or billions is bood-suckng rather than blood
building. "
Federal money comes out of the pockets of those
who have earned it and into the pockets of others
who in all to many cases. fail to put the equivalent
of what they receive in money back into the hands
of the government in terms of labor or services.
More than that, governmental spending for pur-
stimulation and therefore, is reflected to large de-
gree only in the temporary markets.
But when private capital releases its wealth
which it has earned by legitimate and honest and
honorable operation of its business to the end of
charging its production and building new markets,
adding rev employees and developing new custo-
mers for a necessary commodity, such an invest
ment has an impact upon the economic structure
far more lasting than the passing day.
That's the way America came to be the financial
and Industrial giant into which it has grown.
This country was not made by Federal spending.
Federal bonuses, Federal subsidies, Federal bust
ness, Federal industry and Federal taxation. These
have always interfered with instead of assisted in
the recovery of any people from an economic de-
bacle.-Charlotte Observer

ROOSEVELT'S SON
FLAYS MEXICO in
APPROPRIATIONS

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. 27,
(UP)-Elliott Roosevelt, son of
the president, in a radio speech
last night sharply criticized Mex
leo for expropriating property of
United States citizens.
ut is obvious something must
be DONE" young Roosevelt said,
"Mexico has acted, but as yet the
United States government has
not begun to act. Our good neigh
Dor policy apparently is not
enough.
g. Until Mexico makes an
overture for friendship, for one
must subscribe to the theory that
actions speak louder than words. "
Roosevelt, making his weekly
talk over his Texas state network
of radio stations, charged that
the Mexican government had
benefited from the good neigh
Dor policy but then had turned on
the United States.
"Now the United States is fac
cd not only with the loss of valu-
able property holdings in Mexico
but with the loss of $17,000,000
worth of business annually that

COINCIDENCE

On page 30 of the edition of Time magazine for
December 10th one-thrd of the space is devoted TO
the death by suicide of Paul Anderson, a man who
was fired from $4,000 year job as Washington
correspondent for the st. Louis Post Dispatch. 81"
On the mantlepiece of the room where Anderson
was found dead, from self destruction, in his easy
chair was picture of Senator George Norris who
had written across the picture the words: "To my
friend, Paul Y. Anderson, the best newspaper re-
porter in the nation" rs
The maid who attended Paul Anderson heard him
say just before he died: "I'm going to do good
job OF this. My usefulness is at an end"
Commenting on the untimely death of 45-year-
old Paul Anderson, Time magazine said "There
was only one real enemy to Paul Anderson's USE
tulness, and he well knew its name alcohol" "
Yes, one-third of page 35 was devoted to the sui
clde OF brilliant newspaper man, man who died
because of the one enemy, alcohol -' o..

Whitney himself was expelled
from the Exchange. Later he was
convicted and jailed. His firm was
broken up. The Exchange itself
underwent a revolution. But the
S. C. has contended the job had
not been finished and would not
be finished until the higher-ups
who failed to report Whitney's de-
falcations were also dealt with
under the rules of the Exchange.
The action considered therefore
at the meeting to which Hutch
ms refers in his letter of resigna-
ton was whether Thomas Lamont,
Morgan partner, and E. H. Sim
mons, a member of the Bo2rd and
Business Conduct Committee,
should have been censured or
penalized in some way, under the
rules of the Exchange, Tor not re-
porting the facts.
The commission apparently
looked upon the incident as a test
of whether or not the Exchange
can enforce its rules against Its
m ost powerful members. The
board of governors voted TO 90
nothing, taking the position that
no rule was broken by MI. La

BEHIND the resignation of Rob-
- ert H. Hutchins, president of
Chicago University, from the
Board of Governors of the New
York Stock Exchange, lies an in
rident which may perhaps mark
the end of the brief period of
good relations between the Stock
Exchange and the Securities Ex-
change Commission. ..E-
Hutchins' resignation came as a
bolt from the blue. But behind it
is a good deal more than the dis
satisfaction of one member of the
board. ~,
The incident was precipitated
by the S. E. c. itself. In the in
vestieations following the default
of Richard Whitney, former pres
tdent of the Exchange, testimony
revealed other members of the
Exchange knew of Whitney's
plight before it became public.
These were men who stand high
in the councils of Wall Street and
in power in the Stock Exchange
itself. .
Among them were E. II. Sim
mons, another former presi-
dent IF the Exchange, and mem
bers of the Morgan firm, which is
a partnership firm on the Ex-
change. r
Since no one notified the proper
authorities, Whitney was per-

Take Corpse And

CLIFTON SPRINGS, N. Y,
Dec. 81. (UP)-A 13-year-old
girl nearly dead from a beating
and the body of her grandfather,
found hanging in another room,
were taken from burning farm
house yesterday by two motor
lists. u.-..
The victims were identified as
Virginia Debacker and Joseph
Debacker, no, who lived on the
latter's farm near Phelps OH the
Ontario-Wayne county line. Ply
sicians said the girl was in crit
ical condition from wounds on
her head apparently inflicted with
a blunt weapon.
Fred Deyoe of Waterloo and
Addison Johnson of Geneva told
Sheriff Walter A. Filing that
they saw the farmhouse ablaZe as
they drove by and stopped to
warn the residents.
They said they saw the girl ly-
ing on couch, and unable to
arouse her, forced their way in.
The elderly mans body was in a
bedroom hanging by a rope from
fixture on the ceiling.
The motorists were unable to
make a further search of the
house because of the fire, Sheriff
Filing said, but they reported no
ticing the odor Of Kerosene. The
flames destroyed the house.
