Meantime congress, apparently expecting that there would al ways be a surplus and that, even If there wasn't, things could be managed somehow, has gone on appropriating money with a lav ish hand. It has Just completed tne sinting of $500,000,000 in a scheme of farm relief without giving the farmer, any relief. It was committed to an indefinitely large outlay for Mississippi flood control, and has Mattered mil lions right and left to relieve nn- employment by means of road construction and public building. With the game gay confidence in the future it patted the country on the back with 'a 1 per cent redaction In the 1930 Income taxes. Now, with business .crap ing notion, and struggling hard to rise, a persistent , volume of not less than 5;0 00.0 00 unem ployed, foreign trade declining, railway revenue, -heavily cuV a glutted world market. for wheat, less and less demand for cotton, and an alarming record of bank and business failures, the treas ury face, a deficit of half a bil lion and a huge program of debt refunding. j f In almost fany other' country In the world a financial predica ment, such as this, - would have neon met not only -by -reduction of expenditure wherever such re duction was possible, but by a frank Increase of taxation. t U Unfortunately a tax increase has always been about , the last thing to wmch congress or tne admin istration has been willing to re sort Until the federal income tax was established. - the United States relied upon tariff duties and excise taxes on liquors. to bacco, and a few other articles for all but an unlmDortant Part of its revenue. , The tariff.; of course, was supposed to pluck the foreigner: V Honor and tobacco taxes were' all right because these articles were more or less wick ed luxuries. Since 1911. however, internal revenue receipts have run' ahead- of customs receipts, and since 1918 have been counU ed in billions where customs re ceipts reached only mlilionsi As things stand; If the . $ 9.00 0.0 09.- 009 that has been lopped off the debt since the peak of 191 Is not to go back again through re curring deficits, the country will have to go into Its pockets and pay more taxes. ' .-, - : -1 ; It is to this necessary Increase In taxation that the new congress should without hesitation address Itself. There is no virtue what ever in carrying a national debt a day longer than tne time need ed to repay It, none whatever in saddling upon a - distant future the indebtedness Incurred by the present generation. With all; al lowance for the practical useful ness of credit or long-term fi nancing, the generation that goes In for expenditure should pay for It. There is not only no reason why federal taxes should not she substantially Increased, ' there li every reason why they should be and why the Increase should be made 'at once. .

"Hey, you!" . V. I... Dave paused in mid-stride, knowing an Instant Irritation at the curt tone of command. From between the low branches of the trees came a heavy-set figure, clad in garments which might nave maoe a fashion ; plate en titled "What the Well-dressed Plantation Owner Will Wear." With a Panama hat. moleskin riding breeches and high hoots of polished cordovan, the hard faced stranger looked as though he had Just been., turned out by an over-sealous valet. The only outre note in the otherwise per fect ensemble was ! a double barreled shot gun held in the crook of hi. left arm. He met Dave's eyes with a hostile glare which sent a sharp tingle of anger through the pilot's usually steady nerves. . i : "Ton the guy who .mashed my treer he demanded truculently. Dare, made a deliberate effort to hold his temper in check. Yet as he looked at the stranger he felt his instinctive dislike increase rather than diminish. The set of the man's swarthy, blue-blick Jaw, the glare of his agate-hard brown eyes,' the red gash of his over-thick lip. and . the ... vague .cent of perfume that, emanated from his person all served to In tensify the Impression first cre ated by the sound of his voice. "Smashed your trees T" . Dave repeated soldly. -'I den't know Do you- own trees around here? Sell Control Pm Mueller." .announced the other as though that were suffi cient introduction to place him among all the other citizens of the World. :T ''i -Mueller?" echoed the flier, a spot of red upon each tanned cheek. "MueUer .I'm sorry, but X don't know you. Perhaps you are trying to ten me that yon own those trees : over there where I made my forced landing "Yeah, that's me." snapped the otner, curtly. "Why ; the deuce don't you practice flying over a field till you learn to keen a plane la the air?", r . v- We wera talklnr about- your trees," Dave pointed out. ,What do I owe you for the damage?" Two grand.", replied Mueller. promptly. '7-:, "Two what?" . --v- , i "Two grand. - Two thousand doUars," - ' ?Why. you' can, bur a whole acre of bearing frees for' less than- that." said Dave, astonished. "I'd say that a hundred dollars would be more than enough for the few trees whose tops were cUpped off." 1 ; t "You'll oar ine two thousand." stated the other flatly, "or it'll come out of you or your plane." "Just try to collect " it," : re torted the pilots quietly, staring at Mueller through a pink base of anger. "The hard-faced man scarcely moved but In the next moment Dave found himself looking into the twin' eyes of the shotgun. ' "Stick 'em up!" ordered Muel ler.;- .-- ' . Dave, muscles contracted and became tense. But Mueller's fin gers were twitching on the trig ger of. his gun. The.: man was a killer, ready, almost anxious - to shoot. There was no object, Dave decided, in deliberately commit ting suicide. Time would even er to the higher, brackets, are extremely . low, and congress matters. He raised his hands over his head, . i "X suppose you think," he .aid evenlyv-"tht you can get away with: this sort of thing?" : The other looked at him un blinking. . "Get away with it? I could smoke you off "and nobody'd know for a thousand years. Now drop your wallet right at my feet. Bring your right hand down easyj too."- Dave hesitated, wondering it he could reach the barrel of that gun before the fingers squeezed the trigger. J Biding His Time "G'mon," growled Mueller, "put out everything you got. And if I get a hunch, that you're double-crossing me, 111 give you both barrels." - Slowly, deliberately, Dave did as he was told, watching the oth er's narrowed eyes for an oppor tunity to Jump- at the first aim of relaxing vigilance. But Mueller, alert and impatient, kept the gun pointed "unwaveringly at- the pil ofa stomach. When the flier had emptied his pockets, Mueller stepped forward. "All right, now." he growled, "hack up half-a-dozen paces." As Dave stepped back, the oth er - advance until he stood over the little pile of belonging, that the filer had dropped at his feet.

Then,- with exasperating thoroughness he went through the card pockets of the wallet, exam ining every Item of their eon tents. Guest and membrshtn cards to yaeht and country clubs as well a. memoranda hastily scrawled on, the backs of personal and business card, came under thr earefnl scrutiny of those hard brown eyes, while Dave chafed and sweated under th enforced restraint.
