"Thta tax Is just double the com mission paid on every deal to brok ers. "The Investigation . . . shows the market Is a gambling Institution In which the Insiders use marked cards and loaded dice. . . . Take the story of Walter Bacns that be paid 123.000.000 for a com pany in which $1,750,000 was invited and that Be received 1100.000,000 from the puWIc by Belling stock to tho Goldman Sachs Trading corporation at 104 that Is today worth 75 cento. That was milking the public out or 1100,000,000. "The Investigation has showed that when the promoters Indulge In this business they place publicity men to become propagandists and bocst the values In the public mind. These publicity men get their share of the money. . : "It was argued before' the commit tee this tax would rfflt bring $75,000, OOO but only $32,000,000. Whether It brings $75,000,000 or $30,000,000, tl9s Is a place where the government ought to lay revenue to act as a det errent on this gambling insmtutlon."

"This tax won't apply If the stock ; is loaned," Dill said, referring to the finance committee's plan, "That means It won't apply to short selling. And even from the White House we've had attacks on short selling.' The stock exchaite?. Dill said, "has become-a parasite so big ltios swal- ! Mowed up legitimate business."
