On Monday, in this prosper
ous country, there was a "turn
over" of one billion, eight hun
dred million-dollars in tax pay
incuts and treasury financing
alone. Not a ripple on the sur
face of the financial waters.
Interest rates didn't t?o up.
"Call money," the kind used
or Wall Street speculation, re
mained at 6 per cent, with
unorganized lenders, "on the
outside," offering to lend at 4
per cent. ;" !
f. Secretary Mellon knows how
to handle big finance smooth
ly. ' To him a billion dollars
is ONLY a billion dollars. Per
haps that's because he has a
billion or so of his own.
A mother with a baby han
dles other babies easily.

Job was wise, enough not to
answer the Lord when speak
ing "out of the whirlwind,"
and a newspaper man should be
wise enough not to offer sug
gestions to rulers of high fin
ance. Nevertheless, this suggestion
is offered to President Hoover
aiid to Secretary. Mellon.
Isn't the nation paying off
bonded indebtedness. with 'un

Gigantically heavy income
taxes such as the nation now
pays is had for business and
general prosperity. No gather

the fact that excessive taxes

had made another escape, follow

She had carefully hidden horsell
behind the steel cell In the room
in surh a way that her presence
could not be detected. She thought
she would be able to run from her
hiding place when her absence was
noted, but her hiding place was
discovered by Deputy! Sheriff Paid

mad and declared the matron would

caused her to tear her hair as she
talked nervously to her keepers
after she wag found.
