Of the 1250 attending, about 10 per cent were from the acting branch of the Industry, the smallest repre sentation In several years. . But the academy's honora went chiefly to persons outside its mem bership. Hepburn Second.

But the provincial legislature has lust received Its first annual budget since the" voting of this plan, and It Includes: 1. A two per cent sales tag to yield an estimated two million dol lars for the benefit of Alberta's depleted treasury. (Alberta already owe al60.000.000, and ran nine and a half millions Id the hole last year.) 3. A hundred per cent Increase In Income tex ratea, to yield an esti mated tl.300.0O0. 8. A three mills aoclal service tax on dty lands, to yield an estimated 1.323,000. THESE taxes, If they can be col lected, will ralee a lot of money, but thla fact atands out: - . All put together, they will raise only about four and a half million dollars, and Alberta ran MINE and a half millions In the hole last year, and owes a total of 1180,000,000. It will take quite a while, at their present rate, to accumulate the money with which to pay every adult citizen his promised $36 a month.

It Is essentially the same funde mental attack on bigness as repre sented In the Frankfurter - Brandels tax philosophy. That la as lare a peg as has ever been offered for minor loophole. It was hardly an oversight that Mr. Roosevelt neglected to go Into the moral benefits of such tax. Those of his advisers who know what moral benefits were considered, and who favor them, outline them some thing like this: - The control of corporations would be moved from Wall Street to Mala Street." Executives would have to rely on stockholders for their capi tal market. The stockholders would get all the net earnings In dividend and thus the executives would hsve to come to the stockholders to raise money for consolidations, plant ex pansions, Increasing their own sal aries etc. Thus It would decentralize control of business, would put a a trait jacket on Its existing size. No one ever contended that Wall 8treet li logical. No one will, after the market went up on the basis of the new tax program. i Woozy thinkers up there jumped U the conclusion that a distribution of all corporate earnings would Increase the value of stocks. It would, but not under Mr. Roosevelt's program. The fundamental fact la that Mr. Roosevelt proposed to tax $620,000, 000 a year more out of corporate earn ings Anyone can see upon reflec tion that his program would actually depreciate the real worth of corporate stocks by that amount. The price of ocks la supposed to be based on net worth. That means reserves as well as earnings and divi dends. To distribute all the earnings doea not change the material value of the corporation. Instead, the dis tribution weakens the financial posi tion of the corporation, and the addi tional taxes make Its stock worth that much less. It la not the first time Wall Street chased a Roosevelt rainbow, nor will It be the last. DOES BLADDER WEAKNESS WAKE YOU CP In four daya your druggist will re turn your 25c If not pleased.
