There WGs a "Catch"

XWE WE'RE saying to Hype Igoe, the poxing
" writer, that these modern day fighters are
lot of sissies We asked him If he thought the
Jack Dempsey that trained on the banks of the
Maumee at Toledo was a good fighter. That was
the Dempsey that massacred the giant Jess
Willard.
"A good fighter" repeated Hype 1goe, won
deringly "He was the greatest fighter then
that ever saw. He was lean-flanked, ambitious
a dynamite puncher and wolf in the ring"
= do you remember what terrible man he
was against his sparring partners out there?" we
asked.
HE was murderer" said Hype Igoe soIemnly.
"He tried to kill them. He had no mercy in his
heart"
We'll, then" we said, "can you imagine any
of these presentday featherweights and light
weights and middleweights working as sparring
partners with the Jack Dempsey of that day?"
IT should say not" replied Hype Igoe, not paus-
ing to sense the catch in that one.
"Au right" we said, "but don't you remember
little featherweight Babe Herman and frail look
ing lightweight Joe Benjamin and that slippery
middleweight out of st. Paul working day in and
day out with Dempsey? What was that middle
weights name?"

Speaking of Taxes

IN CURRENT chatter about in
i creasing income taxes again,
the noise is louder than the
movement. Sauntering congress
sional leaders also have their
own ideas about this. Prospects
are:
Capital gains will not be re-
duced, relaxed or increased,
whether or not the Treasury rec
ommendS action. Congress will
await another years experience
with last years changes.
Possibility that the maximum
rs per cent surtaxeS will be re-
laxed is remote. Revenue from
same is negligible. An official un-
published analysis Of Treasury
figures indicates the maximum
effective rate is 68 per cent. On
rates above this, Treasury Is col
recting only a measly five mil
lions annually. However, IS per
cent is high-Sounding rate and
probably will be permitted to
stand for political effect.
Increased taxes on incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000 is the
most likely of all discussed
measures to bring fruit. But If
anything is done about this, the
minimum effected rate will be
$4,000, not $4,000.
What is far more probable Is
that Congress will pass a SIM
pie resolution continuing exist
ing excise taxes and drop every
thing else.
NOTHING is likely to be done
IN about the Presidents pro-
posal to permit Federal taxation
of State bonds and vice versa.
Some question Of the Admin
istration's ardor for this plan
has developed since the recent
spending program put the
Treasury back into the borrow
ing market.
If anything comes of this 1t
will be an amendment to exist
ing law requiring State en-
ployes to pay a Federal income
tax,

Utilities Stocks Up

UTILITIES are saying with
u Father Divine that peace,
it's wonderful" Their stocks
are going up. But they are still
wondering. Extra high collars
are still being favored by them
to safeguard their throats.
One accredited story it that
the Presidents two recent
statements mean he is ready to
reach a common understand
ing with private utilities on &C
ceptable terms. AS a mark of
good faith, it is said, the SIS
PWA allotmentS for electric prof.
ects competing with existing
private companies are being set
aside by the Administration.
An equally accredited inter
pretation (this from PWA is
that there will be no peace, that
unless the private utilities sell
out to these SIS cities within the
next few weeks, the projects
will be started before January
/, as required.
Close bystanderS suggest this
will be impossible in view OF the
Presidents promise, m a d e
through Senator Barkley and ac-
cepted later by PWA Admins
traitor Tckes, to allow "a fair and
reasonable opportunity" for
utilities to sell. Intervening
period before January 1 is not
even sufficient time to make an
adequate valuation. they say.
Anyway IS of IS cities have de-
cided they don't want the PWA
money.
Thus the peace question seems
to be up to the President to de-
termine by personal future or
ders and actions.

To insinuate that one lone lecturing parlor

flattery that should mean dollars and cents in

A Convenient Handle
CTRACHEY and his friends contend that his
~ communistic leaning was used as a con-
venent handle by the British government to
suggest to the American Government he be kept
out of here because it was known he was to tear
into the Chamberlain-Hitler Munich agreement
on his lecture tour.
That the British government does not want
him attempting to undermine the Chamberlain
policy in the United States at time when every
effort is being devoted by the British government
to swing United States sentiment to its support.
It is to be doubted that the British government
would waste time complimenting native parlor-
pink by paying so much attention to him.
But that is not to say that the State Depart
ment Of the United States has shown many signs
of intelligence in handling Strachey.
While the majesty of Washington Govern
ment drapeS it's mantle of benign protection over
Bridges, it draws its sword in righteous wrath
over parlor-pink lecturer from Eton and oxford.
