Terra Haute, Ind., apparently bu no desire to bear an address by tbe Communistic candidate tor tbe Pres idency. Upon tbe occasion of hie drat visit, he was cast Into the city bastlle, causing editorial squeals that "Ireo dom of speech" had been squelched and maltreated. Tuesday night he returned for oratorical vengeance, via the radio, and was the target of eggs and tomatoes, hurled by citi zens, who still do not want to hear him talk. The candidate retreated, and, with the teal of his Ilk, will probably devote the remainder of hie life, to the making of a spoech In Terre Haute, and the publicity, thereto securing. The Jail and egged candidate advocates the overthrow of the American form of government, a touchy subject with a great many cltliens, all of who, do not vote in Terre Haute. The Terre Hauteans feel that the treatmont so far accord ed, la mild to what would happen to him, If he Journey lo Moscow, Rus sia, and advocate the overthrow of the Soviet lorm of government. They probably figure, It would be Just.aa aenslble for bank directors to listen . . riiirnulnn of nlarut to rob the bank, and do nothing about It. It seems to be definitely estaniianea no Communistic oratory is wanted In Terre Hauto. TKLUNO 'EMI . (Siskiyou, Calif., Journal) "We are speed crazy.

Klein the Telia.-, upstairs That "Cock-eyed" Tax THE one specific committment made by Governor Landon in this campaign, refers to the so-called undistributed profits tax. At the start of the campaign the Republican caudidate, speaking in New York state, called this tax "cock-eyed" and promised if elected, he would secure its immediate repeal. Last night in Massachusetts, President Roosevelt explained the purpose of this tax, and defended it, as a tax based on sound democratic principles. Its main purpose, is to prevent wealthy stockholders, who do not need more dividends in any given year, to evade their surtaxes, by having the corporation hold these dividends in a cash reserve, and either pay them out in subse quent years, or cover them by stock dividends, that would escape the surtax-penalty, entirely. In addition to preventing tax evasion on the part of the big boys, this tax measure would, it is claimed, benefit the small tax stockholders, by giving them the dividends their stock had earned, and the increased income they needed. It would, as the president pointed out, help the little fellow, and place the maximum burden upon those best able to bear it, which he asserted was the fundamental principle of the administration's entire tax program. OVERNOK LANDON in his condemnation of the measure denied, by implication, this claimed instead of helping the little fellow, it would injure the. small corporation, and -particularly the worker. He said it would prevent the small corporation from putting aside a re serve with which to expand the business, would prevent the small corporation from growing, and thus make it impossible to give MORE work to MORE men. WELL here is a clear-cut issue, one of the very few in this "cock-eyed" campaign. President Roosevelt says one thing, Governor Landon says the exact reverse. The average voter, only anxious to determine the truthj. naturally would like to know who is right. One thing is clear. If this tax WOULD render it impossible for the small business, or the large, business to grow and expand, in normal fashion as conditions improved, it would be bad. Whatever benefits might accrue to the small stockholder, would be overbalanced, by injury to business as a whole. Well is this truet You can find plenty of Republicans to say it is, and plenty of Democrats to say it isn't, but tha.t merely leaves the truth searching inquirer right where he started from. WHAT to dot Well our advice is to Cut out politics entirely, consult the best tax expert that can be found, and leave it up to him. When a tax expert advises a client, he confines himself to the facts, and disregards politics or if he authority. This paper subsoribes to the Prentis-Hall Federal Tax ser vice, which we believe is conceded to be one of the best in the country, and the question was put up to them. Here is an oxtract from their reports "First of all It should be remembered that If dividends are paid in cash during the taxable year, they may be used in com puting the dlvtdends-pald credit, even though the stockholders Immediately return the money to tho corporation in tbe form of a loan, a contribution to capital, or a purchase of additional stock. This method of paying the dividends In csah snd having the cash returned to the corporation offers a simple solution to the problem . . ." Moreover, says the report: "The law does not require that the dividends be paid In cash and expressly provides for other methods. One of these methods Is payment In obllgstlons of the corporstlon", auch as bonds snd debentures. "Taxable stock dividends also form a basis for dividends paid credit" and It "appaaVa to afford a method of obtaining a dividends paid credit tor what would orlnarlly be considered a non-taxable stock dividend." Of course this is all very intricate and complicated to the average person,-as for that matter it is to this paper, which can claim no extensive knowledge in this direction. But there is certainly no doubt from the foregoing, that one of the highest tux authorities in the country, docs NOT hold with Governor Landon that this "cock-eyed" measure, would make it impossible for a largo or small corporation to devote its profits at any time, to legitimate plant expansion. Moreover the same authority points ont that all banks, in surance companies and corporations in a receivership are entirely exempted, whilo small corporations with net incomes below $,30,000 are given special and preferential treatment, under tho provisions of tho bill. That is helping the smaller fellow or the hard pressed isn't itf IN other words, whilo this tax measure is not perfect, and probably in many details does need, as president Roosevelt suggested, certain changes as nesses and imperfections, it IS fellow, and it works no injury prevented from evading their just reserve. Nor under this law is I lio individual stockholder, big or little, has to pay his federal tax, on his actual net income, but if the stockholders of the company (who incidentally own the company and not the highly paid executives) foci that the company needs added capital, with which to expand, there is nothing to prevent theii reinvestment of this money for that purpose. This judgment, as before stated, is not based upon the opin ion of partisans on either side of the fence, but on the profes sional opinion of a recognized tax authority, giving advice to its clients, regardless of politics, on a cold-blooded, non-political business basis. It appears to us as being as final and author! tive, as anything that could bo secured. A S in the case of so many Roosevelt measures which have been so violently abused, we are sure, the more this undi vided profits tax is studied, the clearer it will become, that the protests against it, do not proceed from those who really believe it will injure the country, but fear it will injure themselves, from entirely a selfish standpoint. And it will only injure them because it will mark iinother step toward the president's chief objective, which is a fairer distribution of wealth, and a squarer deal for the average man, which they do not want and are trying in every way to prevent.

COLIC IS A QUAINT CONCEPT Maybe you old timers should re nounce your faith in my teachings If any. I dont' believe cutting teeth ever makes a baby ill; I don't believe "growing pains' are due to growing; and I don't believe In "colic." Jus for fun I took my copy of Holt out of the museum and looked up Holt's concept of colic. Holt ascribed colic to "Irrita tion" due to the 'presence of some undigested food In the Intestine." That may not seem tunny to you old fossils who take colic" seriously, but ploase excUAe my rude chuckle; physiology teaches that there Is always undigested food In the Intestine. By Holt's reckon ing, then, every one of us should be constantly howling or squrtmlng with the bellyache. Hurriedly I sent Holt back to the museum and withdrew another exhibit, namely, Griffiths "Care of the Baby" (Saunders, Phila delphia, 1024). Griffith solemnly as sures us that colic is usually due to "distension by gas." Oh,, well, we can't quibble. I'll Just give my view of the subject, and then go on to the real troubles of infancy I believe infantile "colic" Is wholly Imaginary on the part of parent, nurse or doctor. It Is significant thnt alleged "colic" prevails most fre quently Vhere ignorance, neglect and maltreatment of the baby Is the rule. In the home of Intelligence, cleanli ness and love there is no "colic." A young baby naturally draws up his legs, gets red in the face and hard In the belly when he cries vig orously about anything. The actual trouble In cases of alleged "colic" may be mere discomfort ftom a wt napkin, itching of the akin, too much clothing. Irritation by tobacco smoke In the air, scratch or pricking by a pin, Irritation by some dope you have thrust upon the luckless Infant, hun ger from too diluted or too weak food or from too long an interval between feedings, demand of the body for vitamins C, B or D, or some actual Illness. It Is surely both futile and wicked to fall back on the dumb diagnosis of "colic" Just because you are not Intelligent enough to under stand what the baby Is trying to toll you. I am convinced that babies suffor far more from mischief perpetrated (Continued from Page One ) la his, but it is probable their ma jority will be diminished to the poln. where Landon will have a very good chance to carry the state. A more definite line on Cook county will be available before election. Iowa This state Is so close that it may be necessary to wait for a photograph of the finish. A trust worthy canvass recently Indicated a majority of about 15,000 for Roose velt out of upwards of 900,000 ex pected to be cast. Indiana Some seers see a Hoceler Landon wave developing within the last few days. The Literary DlgesV gives the' Kansan an 8-to-B lead. Nevertheless, there Is reason to esti mate a possible 100,000 majority for Roosevelt, aa of today. This would be about half his 1032 majority. Wagerera Bhould profit from the example of three well-to-do election bettors whose stories are now going the rounds In financial quarters. A couple of utility executives, in a fit of despondency no doubt- have hedged against the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt by betting substantial sums of money on him at the coatlv odds of 2 to 1. A promt nent Democrat, who Atnmgly anti-New Deal, has tried a similar stunt. He offered to give $100,000 to the Republican campiagn cause If hi name could be omitted from the records, but he was told that this was impossible. Some of his friends futrsested the best way he WE ARE NOW MAKING DELIVERIES ON Green Fir SLABWOOD Phone TIMBER PRODUCTS COMPANY ENH OF NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE Brady, M P,. under the "colic" obsession than they would from actual neglect The old time baby- specialists had a favorite trick of reducing the strength of the food when they Imagined the baby .had "colic.1 That was consistent with their funny notion that the trouble was due to "undigested food In the Intestine." But I submit that too strong or' to much food never causes any other disturbance than vomiting or regurgitating the excess and perhaps more frequent and more copious bowel movement. Alleged "colic," therefore. Is never a suffici ent excuse for reducing or weaken ing the baby's . food. Rather the strength or amount of food should be increased. Young parents must comprehend that a baby Is bound to have at least one vigorous crying spell daily In deed, a spanking Is advisable If the baby does not do so.

You will see the farm co-ops un expectedly hitting the warpath against any more for federal endow ment of consumer co-ops at the next session of congress. They are worried about what will happen if tho con sumer co-ops get a hold on farm products. Dairy products furnish the moat worry, aa cotton and grain co-ops sell raw materials, which probably would come within the scope of consumer co-op for some time. The dairy co ops can see tho prospect of consumer co-ops underbidding dairy prices.

He pre dicts there will be very little new treasury financing for cash in the open market. Reserves of such agen cies as the social security adminis tration and federal deposit insurance will bo Invested In governments, and thus public sale of new treasury Is sues will be discontinued before the budget comes near balance.
