THERE 1 oratory In congress over
the tax bill. There haa to be.
It la by oratory of that eort that
senators and congressmen who NEED
votes get votes.
Alter the oratory la all over, the
tax bill will be passed. It will be
passed because it HAS to be.
Ciicle Sam has been spending more
than he has been taking In, and
tha't can't go on Indefinitely.
HEHE Is a statement made recent
ly by a noted financial author
ity and printed In one of the lead
ing national magazines:
"Business courage right now la
scarce because back in 1030 a lot of
our ablest and wealthiest men had
courage an backed their courage with
money and LOST IT ALL In the price
slump of 1931.
"Now they have neither courage
nor money."
JUST a, minute. Let's see what It
was that these courageous leaders
REALLY DID with their money back
In 1830, just before they loit It In
the further alump of 1931.
They bought atocks with It, believ
ing that the atock market had hit
bottom and that prlcea would go up
again, thus enabling them to make
s lot of money quickly and easily.
That la to say, they GAMBLED
AGAIN. Just as they had gambled
back in 1938 and 1929.
THIS writer, who Is not a financial
authority and whose opinion is
probably not worth much, la quite
certain in hla own mind that pros
perity will never be brought back by
the kind of courage that Is displayed
in buying atocks on the market In
the hope that they will go up quick
ly, thua enabling the buyer to make
a lot of EASY MONEY.
THE kind of courage that will bring
prosperity back la that which Is
displayed In reorganizing industry to
meet new conditions, cutting out the
wastes and inefficiencies that devel
oped in flush times, getting -prices
down to what people with lowered
Incomes can pay, developing new pro
ducts to aupply new deslrea and ao
creating work to be done by those
who are now OUT OF WORK.
The reason our present bustness
leadership Is poor and Inadequate is
that too many of our so-called lead
. era can think only in terms of the
atock market.
In the big stock gambling years,
when money was made by gambling
rather than by hard work, they for
got how to think In terms of con
structive business achievement.
HERE Is a curloua Item In the news
of the day; contained in a dis
patch from Moscow:
"The crime of sabotage, which has
been gaining Increased attention from
soviet- authorities of late, brought
eentenoe of death to elg.1t persons
today."
SABOTAGE pronounced "sabo

tion of the machinery of Industry by

vised by communism. Moscow Is the
world center of communism.
But in Moscow communism Is now
the established order, and the estab
lished order alwaye tends TOWARD
conservatism and AWAY FROM radi
calism in any form.
So, you see, communism In Mos
cow, whlc,h is now the established
order. FROWNS upon sabotage,
whose prpoee Is the destruction of

as the penalty for practicing it.

CoiiKrc.su with an eye, not on
the bnclKCt, but on November 4,
put a tax aa high aa 72 per cent
on some incomes. That's three
fourth".. Congress almost tied
pyorrhea. It only gets four out
of live, and Russia only gets
half.
Course, a man giving up
three million out of four is
tough. But, on the other hand,
90 per cent, of our people
wculd bo willing to give up 093
per cent, of a million if allowed
to make one.
The crime of taxation is not
in the taking it, it's in the way
it's spent.
