Hardy. Social Development Baseball sings its swan song in Bismarck for the current season today and tomorrow with the three games of the Regional Ameri- can Legion Junior tournament. After those gates Bismarck, which has had some of the best attractions in this part of the country, can turn its attention to other sports, other amuse- ments. Vacant lots and the parks will continue to have their players of everything from one-old- cat to soft ball, but organized effort comes to fan end with the departure of the city team for Wichita and the junior regional games. Those who saw the sparkling play at the jany tax program which is likely to emerge out of this congress. Nevertheless, President Roosevelt, despite all the horrible mismanagement of the program, remains rela- tively serene, and the chief secret of his serenity is this: Roosevelt has high hopes of going into the election next year with a balanced budget. As soon as the derisive laughter has subsided, your correspondent will proceed to admit that such hopes are not shared by everybody in the administration. But the president has a very distinct idea that business is going to pick up very rapidly, that the national income will go booming, that unemployment and its costs will be ma- terially reduced, and that the yield from current tax rates plus those of the new schedule—which would bring in less than $300,000,000 additional revenue, under last year’s conditions—will produce a treasury status to which he can point with pride. The idea is that as corporation and individual in- comes begin to rise, a geometrically enlarging proportion of the increase will be scooped off in taxes. oe F, R. HURLS A BRICK But it is still worth remembering that revenue was only incidental in Roosevelt's mind when he called for “soak-the-rich” tax legislation from a startled congress. He was primarily interested in establishing a social principle and hurling a defiant brick at the “big fellows” who had been attacking him savagely. By failing to meet progressive demands—and the de- sire of many in his administration—for a comprehensive program biting decper, Roosevelt avoided widespread ac- cusations that he was burdening business—as well as the bad effects of whatever there may be in that contention. eee SLAP AT POWER TRUST The proposal to eliminate tax exemption for corpora- tion gifts to charity was just another Roosevelt swipe at the “power trust,” his pet hate. The house bill, however, allowed a five per cent taxable income exemption. Even more unpleasant to the White House was the paring of the proposed graduated corporation tax from a spread of 6 per cent to a difference of 1 per cent. The graduation from 13% per cent to 14% per cent established the principle of taxing “bigness”—the Bran- deis-Frankfurter idea—about as effectively as a nudist proclaims his principles by going barefoot. Expect a fight on that in the senate, with results uncertain, oe ANOTHER GOVERNOR ‘ON PAN’ Puerto Rican newspapers are attacking Gov.

There has been much Rhode Island protest especially about the processing tax on cotton, which the textile operators claim is reducing consumption of do- mestic textiles, and closing down American mills, In that sence, therefore, there is no dispute that the election was in- fluenced by local consideration; be- yond that the dispute begins.

With teams so evenly matched, it usually is a matter of the breaks of the game as to which one wins. Neither can anyone doubt the value of. this kind of baseball to a city. Those persons who have met the four teams have had opportunity to estimate the manner in which this organized effort has broadened the outlook, stabilized the poise and increased the knowledge of these boys, to say nothing of the lessons in health which they have taught. A significant fact is that many of these boys come from the homes of poor parents.

The Adolescent Touch It is a good deal easier to criticize than to improve, wet there does seem merit to the contention of the Wom- en’s National Radio committee that a good deal of our broadcasting suffers from the adolescent touch. As it stands now, according to these analysts, radio thas a bad overdose of vaudevillia. The wise-crackers 'who used to appear only on the stage or under the guise of drug-store cowboys, now enter our homes via the ether. We have everything except the tumbling acts. fEven these are intimated by sound effects. The good ‘old days of “variety” are not gone. They have merely found a new medium of expression. And the quality is ‘bout the same as it always has been. | MANY WOULD SAVE NATION An embarrassment of riches faces the administration as candidates over the country announce themselves against Democratic members of congress who have op- posed the New Deal. For instance, five men have already decided to enter the Democratic congressional primary against George Huddleston of Alabama leader of the fight against the administration on the holding company bill. Already it begins to look as if the anti-Huddleston vote would be spread around sufficiently to let George walk back in. Congressmen Josh Lee, Will Rogers, and Wesley Dis- ney of Oklahoma are all openly coveting the seat of Senator Tom Gore and other entries are likely. Reports of the candidacy of Rogers, who got to con- gress because voters thought they recognized a familiar name, caused an unbelieving but amused newspaperman to ask Rogers: “Why don’t you stop all these silly rumors about your running for the senate?” “That's no rumor,” Rogers replied. “Ever since 1 got ae I've considered this a training schoo) for the senate.” Gree this same assertion could be applied to other cities. Ordinarily the person who is not subjected to ran- som demands, or robbed, or injured in other ways by criminals is likely to feel that he is out of the picture, that crime does not concern him very closely. This ex- plains, in large part, the general disinterest of the Amer- ican people in any thorough-going program to strike a real blow at crime. : The truth is that crime does levy on all of us all the time. The expense of hunting, catching, convicting and punishing malefactors is staggering. Government and industry both provide expensive armies of guards and watchmen. Industry has big bills for insurance. Our usiness lives are so bound up with those of other cities that if extortionate practices prevail there, we, in the prices we pay for their goods, must pay our tribute to the criminals there. In all the talk, sincere and otherwise, about how so- ciety’s income should be redivided, there can be room for only one view on the question of depriving the under- world of any share in what honest people have been able to produce. stand out and cannot be talked away. The central fact is that the Demo- crats suffered an overwhelming de- feat in a congressional district here- tofore Democratic, after a campaign in which both candidates made the Roosevelt policies the issue. A collateral fact is that in the same election the state rejected a bond issue recommended by Secre- tary Ickes as part of the federal works program. Pertinent to any political assess- ment of the result are the additional facts that the district is a center of the textile industry; that it lies in traditionally conservative and wealthy New England; and that, according to most observers, a large part of the majority vote was a “protest” vote— reflecting discontent with the Demo- crats rather than affirmative sup- port of the Republicans. and wealth-tax. issues is quite obvi- ous.

The truth is that the Republicans hope the Rhode Island results means @ national uprising against Mr. Roosevelt, and the Democrats hope it does not. Both sides wish they really knew. ** * Now To ‘Fence-Mend’ What will be the effect of the in- cident, as a whole, on the future course of national politics? First, it has cheered the Republi- cans tremendously. Their hopes are far greater than before. That means intensified attack on the administra- tion, revived organization enthusiasm, perhaps increased campaign contri- butions. Conversely, it has warned the Dem- ocrats.

Neverthe less, she was impatient to know what was the “something impor tant” that Tubby had to tell.

Jo could not help but smile at the picture of Tubby talking so earnestly to the frigid wife of the movie star.
