ply a problem of
the depression. It
has been develop­
ing for many years,
growing more *e
rious all the time.
T h e depression

P. IL SISSON
the problem will
not end with the depression. It will
continue to weigh down and rets id
progress for an indefinite period.
In city, county, state and nation the
orgy of spending has ran on. It Is esti­
mated that in the United States the
total coat of ail government Is nearly
five timet what it was before tha
World War. Many localities hare been
brought to the verge of bankruptcy by
; their expenditures, while many have
saddled their citixena with a debt bur­
den that will darken their lives and
hamper their progress tor years to
come.
The total cost of Federal, state and
local government In the United States
la estimated at forty-six pillion dollars
a day. Based on nations' income in
1930, this represents about one-fifth the
total Income of our people, or about
1110 tor every indiridua! In the na­
tion. Total taxes in 1931 are esti­
mated to have taken more than 22 per
cent of the national Income, it is occa­
sion fer serious thought on the part of
everyone when one day’s income out of
evary four or five must br contributed
to the maintenance of governrr.nt ma­
chinery.
Reductions Possible
United States Government expendi­
ture« were reduced one hundred and
forty million dollars during the first
quarter of the current fiscal year. The
recent action of bankers In calling a
halt to unnecessary expenditures of
New Fork City as prerequisite to loans
will reduce the cost of government In
the country’s metropolis, which is sec­
ond In its expenditures to only the
Federal Government. No state in the
Union, In fact, no other government
on this hemisphere, spends half as
much as this one city. These sarings
in Federal and municipal costs are only
the beginning of a movement needed
throughout the country, if we are to
be led out of depression into prop
perity.
Unless the people can be made to
realize that money for gorernmental
expenditure can come only from tbelr
own pockets as taxpayers, casting dp
pressing effects on both indiridual ef­
fort and general business, there is an
Imminent threat that we may be forced
to meet economic difficulties similar to
those that hare so seriously handi­
capped other countries. The question
is not primarily one of merely paring
government salaries or sharing budg­
ets, but rather of curtailing govern­
ment activities for which we cannot
afford to pay.
The Idea that money for these mount-
lng extravagances can be raised by fol­
lowing the slogan “Soak the Rich” is
utterly fallacious, for such a policy
will simply exterminate “the rich” and
eliminate sources of reverne. It is also
Important to realize that corporate
business in this country is In no posi­
tion to withstand the effects of indefi­
nite advances in tax rates. Current
earning reports rereal that fact bp
yond shadow of doubt. The tax base
must be broadened, and it ‘.beretore
seems likely that Congress will be
called upon to reconsider tbe sales tax.
at least as a temporary measure to help
meet a critical condition In the nation's
finance.
N
Deposit ‘Guarantee’
Fails of Purpose
LOS ANGELES.—Whila the Idea of
the guarantee of bank deposits by
some legally enforced plan seems to
appeal to many people wbo give it
casual thought, ths fact Is that it
has not only failed in every instance
in the eight states where tbe experi­
ment was tried, but actually produced
unsouDd banking and increased tbe
number of failures, it was declared by
ths recent convention of the American
Bankers Association held here.
"Guaranty of bank deposits carries
an idea tbat naturally appeals to peo­
ple In general on casual consideration,”
the declaration said. "However, in
principle It ia unsound and in practice
It Is unworkable. It has been tried In
eight States and It has not only failed
in every case, but it has resulted In
Increasing ths number of bank fail­
ures. Taxing properly managed banks
to make up losses of failed banks Is
not only unfair and unreasonable, but
it weakens the whole banking struc­
ture. Again, guaranty of deposits
places the Incompetent and reckless
banker on sn equal footing with the
able end conservative banker, which
encourages bad banking at tbe ex­
pense of sound banking. We are there­
fore opposed to the passage of any
law carrying a guaranty of bank de­
posits end believe tbat It Is against tbe
Interest of the people of the United
States to develop any such system.”

saw Benny and Jarrold and the Ital­
ian hearing down upon him; King waa
in tha midst of all that. They were
upon him before Brall’a head had
struck the ground. They gave him no
time, no space for another shot, lie
swept his clubbed ritle high over hit
head; she beard the blow when he
struck, the hideous sound of a crush­
ing skull A man went down, she did
not know which one. Only It waa not
Mark—thank God it was not Mark
King!
And now King had a little room and
an Instant of hit own aa taro other
men swerved widely about the falling
figure. He fired again, not putting the
rifle to his shoulder. Another man
fell, lay screaming, «died aside—was
forgotten.
"Where's my rifle?" Brodie was
yelling.
He couldn't And It in the dark; he
couldn't stop to grope for IL But
Gloria knew; she remember«!. She
ran for It, found It. straightened up
with It In her shaking hands.
Again King was using his weapon
as a club, since they pressed him so
closely.
Vgain came that terrible
sound; Steve Jarrold It was who went
down. And with if another sound, that
of hard wood splintering. The rifle
was broken over hi« head, the atock
whirled close to Gloria. King had only
the short heavy steel barrel In his
hands.
Benny had circled to the far side;
Rrodie had caught up a great thick
limb of wood. The1 ere coming at
King from two sld. i kt once. . , .
Gloria tried to aim, p .i -C he trigger,
tagging frantically. Only
she re­
membered to draw the hi. a x o back;
It was Brodie’s ancient rib » .d she
struggl«l to get It cocked. Sue shud­
dered at the report The bullet sang
in front of Benny, and he stopp«l
dead In his tracks. He waa rear tha
cave's mouth. Gloria pointed, forgot
the hammer, remembered, got the gun
cocked and tired again. Benny plunged
wildly forward; she did not know If
she had bit him. 11a hurled himself
headlong toward the narrow exit and
through.
She had forgotten Brodie and King!
She tnrned toward them. She did
not dare shoot now; King was In the
way. He seemed to have grown tired;
he moved so slowly. But he did move
and toward Brodie;* he swung his
clubbed rifle barrel and beat at Bro-
die’s great face with i t Beat and
missed and almost fell forward. Again
Brodie struck; again King beat at
him. They moved up and down, back
and forth. King was moving more and
more slowly; his left arm swung as if
it were useless; Brodie swept up his
club In both hands, grunting sndibly
with every blow. . . . Oh. If she
could only shoot . . .
If she only
dared shoot! But Brodie kept Kina
always in front of him, between him
and Gloria's rifle.
“Til get you. King. Til get you."
shouted Brodie, his voice exulting. “I
always wanted to get yon—rig ht!”
There was a crash, the splintering
of wood against steel. Both men hail
struck together; Brodle's club had
broken to splinters. And the rifle-bar­
rel in King's hands flew out of his
grip and across the cave, ringing out
as it struck. The two mem their
hands empty, stood a moment staring
at each other. Then Brodie shouted, a
great shout of triumph, and sprang
forward. And Mark King, steadying
himself, ignoring the hot trickle of
blood down his (ids where Benny’s
second ballet had torn his flesh, met
him with a cry that was like Brodle's
own. Brodle's was the greater weight,
the greater girth, the greater strength
—and Mark King’s the greater sheer
clean manhood.
Gloria ran toward
them, the rifle shaking In her haDds.
Brodie feared her and strove to turn
and twist so that she could not shoot
King saw her and shouted In a terrible
voice which was not like Mark King’s
voice.
“Don’t shoot—let me—"
She did not heed; she would r.hoot
—If ever she could be sure that she
would not shoot him. Bat she did not
dare—they thrashed about so -madly.
Brodie had bis hands at King's
throat—King’s hands were at Brodle's
throat She saw Brodie’s bestial face
gloating. He was so confident now.
She saw his great hands shut down,
sinking Into the flesh.
They were breathing terribly; they
lay stiller, stiller. They did not thrash
abou’ so much. Their eyes were start­
ing out of their socket»; their face«
were turning pnrple—or was It the
firelight? Men's faces coold not look
like that—not while the men lived.
Gk>rl» *nw that Jarrold. though he
sent a Hack scowling look at the big­
ger man. was afraid. A ml yet they
must fight—they must be driven to
blow»—she must somehow set them at
each other’s throats She turn«! to
Jarrold. She gathered hereelf for the
flnnl supreme effort. She made her
eyes grow bright through sheer force
of will: she made her lips cease treni
hltng and curve to a smile at the man:
she even concealed her loathing and
put a ringing note. almost of tanghter.
Into her voice as she said softly:
"I know you are not afraid—and I
think—yea. I am sure, that you could
whip him!"
Steve Jarrold'» eyes flashed. Then
they left hers lingeringly: Rrodle was
stamping Impatiently, calling to him.
"T tk e h er!" snapped Jarrold. “II —I
take both of you.”
The laughter and challenge went out
of Swen Itrodie's bloodshot eyes; a
new red surged all of a sudden Into
them. He turned and came slowly
about tbe tiro, his arms still uplifted,
the crooklns ■ cr* toward Gloria.
Scream at
scream burst from
Gloria's Ui>s; taut nerves seemed to
snap all through her body' like over-
stressed violin strings. She ran, ran
anywhere, ran blindly back toward the
darker end of the cave.
Rrod-e’s bauds were almost oa her
Gloria whipped aside and ran again.
He came on. Site prayed for sudden
death, death before t hose horrid,
crooked fincera touched her. Hut while
she prayed to God It was of SI.ark
King that site thought.
At last she was at the end. The end
of the passageway, the end of hope.
Brodie eante on. his arms out. He
made the last step; she felt his hand
on her arm, closing, drawing her for­
ward; the last agonized shriek burst
from her. . . .
“Oh. God—oh. dear God—”
She did uot hear and Rrodie did not
hearken to a sudden new sound In the
cave grown suddeoly s till; the sound
of a cascade of loos« stones. They
came with a rush, they piled op near
the middle of the open cave, dropping
from the shadowy rock roof above.
But Benny, always on nerve edge,
sh rill« !:
“Look out! A csve-ln—”
She hoard—God had heard— Better
crushed under a falling mountain than
in those brute arms.
And then she saw. From ten feet
above, straight down dropped some­
thing else. Taut nerves of those who
saw fancied It a great boulder falling.

the little pile of rocks, became ani­
mated. rose, whirled, and—

whipped It up and began firing, nerv­
ous and excited. It was after the sec­
ond shot that King’s rifle answered
him; It roared out like the crash of
doom In Gloria's ears; she saw the
stabbing spurt of fire. Brail sagged
where he stood, crumpled and pitched
forward, his rifle clattering against tbe
rocks.
But by now the brief stuper that
bad locked tbe other men In staring
Inaction was gone Gloria saw figures

They gasped now; they did not breathe.
One of Brodle’s hamla cam« away
hastily, lie began battering at King'«
face, battering Ilka a »team piston.
Tha blows sounded loudly; blood broke
out under the terrlAc pounding King’«
grip did not alter, did not shift. Ilia
eyes were shut but ha clung on. grim,
looking a dead man but a man whose
will lasted on after death. Brodie
wrenched; they roll«l over.
They were on their feet, staggering
up and down, two men molded together
like one man.
Brodie struck blow
«tier blow, and with every thud Gloria
Minced and felt a pain through her
own body. And still King held Ida
grip, both hands sunk deep Into the
thick throat.
Thoy were apart, two blind, stagger­
ing men. What parted them they did
not know and Gloria could not see.
Thus they stood for a second only.
Brodie lift« ! his hand*—weak hands
rising slowly, slowly — uncertainly.
King saw him through a gathering
mist; Brodie open«! his mouth to draw
lu great sobbing breaths of air. King,
the primal rage upon him. saw the
great double teeth bared, and thought
that bis enemy was laughing at him.
It was King who gathered himself first
and struck first. All of the will he
had. all of the endurance left in his
batter«! body, all of the strength God
gave him. he put Into that blow lie
struck Brodie full In the face, between
the little battervul blue eye«. And Bro-
dle fell. He rose; he got ti his k:ieet
and sagged up and forward. King’s
shout then was to rlug through Gloria's
memory for days to come; he bore
down on Swen Brodie, caught him
about the great body, lifted hint clear
of the floor and bnrled him downward
Brodie struck heavily, his head
against the rocks. And where he fell
he lay—stunned or dead.
"C o o k " said King to Gloria, “t'orne
quick."
He turned toward the cave’s mouth
and with one hand began to drag away
the stones so that they coold go out.
Ills other hand was pressed to his side.
His work done, he pick«! up the rifle
at Ids feet and went out. Gloria, sway­
ing and stumbling, came after him.
Neither spoke a word as they made a
slow way through the snow. King
went unsteadily with dragging feet.
They climbed the cliff laboriously.
They were tn their cave—it was like
home. She dropped down on the fir-
boughs, stumbling to them in the dark.

She found a m atch; she got some
dry twigs blazing. In their light she
saw him. He lay on his hark like a
dead man, his arms oiitflung. his while
face turned up toward hers. There
was a great amenr of hlood nerors his
brow, the track of a bloody hand ns It
had sought to wipe a gathering dim­
ness out of his eyes. The lire burned
brighter; she saw It glisten upon a
little pool of blood at her side. She
knelt and bent over him, scarcely
breathing. If he were dead—If. after
all this. Mnrk King were dead— Ills
eyes were clo s«l; his face was death­
ly white, looking the more ghastly
from the dark stuln across It.
For a little while she sat motion
less, her brain reeling. But almost
Immediately her brain cleared and
there stood forth as In a while light [

about to die and be must not die! For

not the vanquished. And, further,
she. Gloria King, Mark King's wife,
would not let him die! He was hers,
her own; she would hold him buck to
her.
Gloria did not know If she had

dark and dead still, there was no first
puzzled moment of uncertainty. That
last wonderfully glad thought which
had filled brain and heart when she
sank down on her flr-boughs had per-
stated throughout her moments or
hours of unconsciousness, pervading
her subconscious self gloriously, flow
erlng spontaneously in an awakening
mind; Mark King had come back to
her in her moment of peril; he had
battled for her like the great hearted
hero that he was, be had saved her
and had brought her home. Back
home! She had prayed to Ood when
utter undoing seemed Inevitable, when
death had seemed more desirable than
