MARKET weak;
STEELS AMONG
CHIEF LOSERS
Trading Contracts, Well
Under Million Shares

NEW YORK, Dec. 8 0.N.S).
The stock market was weak today,
reversing the recovery trend Of the
last two days. Losses in leaders
ran to more than a point while de-
clines in individual issues exceeded
four points.
Trading, however, contracted
considerably and volume ran well
under 100000 shares.
STRIKE TO BLAME
The weakest individual issue
was U. S. Smelling which slumped
more than four points on the
strike in its big Mexican silver
mine. Union Pacific dropped
nearly three.
Bethlehem led the steels down
with a decline of nearly 2 points.
U. S. Steel held its decline to a
fraction.
COPPERS HEAVY
Chrysler and General Motors
dropped a point each. CopperS
turned heavy after meeting early
support on the new restriction
moves abroad.
Utilities, chemicals, building
shares and electrical equipments
were relatively steady. Aviations
slipped after a rise in the early
trading. Rubbers were heavy, and
elsewhere prices were irregularly
lower.

MORE TAXES STUNNED

and that he has found tie way.
MORE TAXES STUNNED
Almost instantly. however, we
reflect that if we are actually to
pay the billions required for
large rearmament program, we
will have to bear heavier bur-
den of taxation. The tax burden
is already so heavy that the
thought of more taxes is almost
unbearable. We draw back and
reflect that maybe the cure is
worse than the disease.
But no! Mr.. Roosevelt senses
our thought at once. He hastens
to warn against the thought that
paying-as-you-go m e a ms an in
crease in taxes. How he thinks
this feat can be performed, I will
tell you in a moment.
Meanwhile, please note that our
taxes on all sorts are now rising
to about as high percentage OF
our total income as taxes ever got
without causing rebellion. His
tory shows the upper limit to be
somewhere between 20 and Is per
cent of income. Probably the poll
ticianS know that as well as any
one, and when they desire to
spend, you may be sure that they
are going to avoid taxes if it is
possible.
LOANS TO PAY BILL
So Mr.. Roosevelt casts about
for other sources Of funds. Why
he did not come out at once and
say that we could borrow it, ]
don't know, unless it be that he
is getting sensitive concerning our
huge and rapidly growing debt
But what he did do, was to make
some vague remarks about money
which may come in on account
of repayments of loans.

"A penniless, bearded wanderer
was in a critical condition last
night in Charity hospital, victim
of a box car fire in which two of
his companions were burned to
death as they slept.
One of the dead men was iden-
tilted as Robert Robinson, 40, be-
lieved to have been formely en-
ployed as a New York ticket
agent. The second body, badly
charred, still was Co unidentified.
The third victim, given a slim
chance to live with the skin blis-
tered from his body from head to
feet, was identified as Harvey
Birch, SO, of Jasper, Ala.
Police believed that the three
built a fire in a box car on a
"dead end" track last night when
the weather suddenly turned
from a summer temperature to
wnteir. Early today, Birc hawoke
and found the box car blazing.
He staggered to the bank OF a
canal a short distance away, his
clothes ablaze, and collapsed. Of
ficers picked him up almost nude
as he babble incoherently.
Robinson dragged himself a
few feet away from the car and
died. The unidentified body was
recovered after the box car had
burned almost to the tracks.
