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

bank, and do nothing about It. It
seems to be definitely estaniianea no
Communistic oratory is wanted In

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

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

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. The first three
months are the hardest. After that
the young 'un gets organized and
sails along without auch terrible
squalls.

I The news of their bets naturally
,ot around on the Inside and caused
j rumors which were psychologically
1 more helpful to Mr. Roosevelt than
any development he could expect.
They never learn.
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.
The best non-polltlcal government
bond authority Is now advising banks
that the seemingly endless stream
of new public treasury issues has
now Just about dried up. 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. From
theso sources and from repayments
to HOLG and the PFMC will come
the money to meeet the deficits.
In other words, Mr. Morgonthau
has found now sources of money.
