If the “Lame Duck” Congress wants to do some really constructive work toward budget balancing and making way for depression recovery it will without delay submit a Constitutional amendment providing for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment without complicated restrictions or details, leaving control of th: whole liquor question to the separate States and it will immediately modify the Volstead Act to provide for the legal manufacture and sale of light wines and beer. This matter has been thoroughly debated. The Democratic National platform has been overwhelmingly endorsed by the American voters. It ought to be accepted as a guidé. The voters have settled the matter. Their representatives should act at once. The quicker this matter is cleared up the greater will be its effect in doing away with the depression. The modification of the Volstead Act, with a tax on beer and wines, would provide a few hundreds of millions of revenues that would assist immensely in balancing the budget There is no good reason why both of these propositions could not be put through in Decem- ber. That would enable State Legislatures to act during the coming winter on the repeal and provide a potential income that budget balancers could take into account at once. Congress could do more in this way to create a feeling of optimism than by any one thing that it could do. It ought to be given to the country as a Christmas present. It would be welcomed with open arms and loud acclaim. LAST DRIFT WAS TOWARD ROOSEVELT. The figures of the election indicate that if there was any sort of a swing toward Hoover after the President became the chief speaker in his own be- half it was turned back by the giant-like attacks on the Hoover positions by the array of talent the Democratic National Commitee sent into the field. Newton D. Baker, Owen D. Young, Senator Carter Glass and former Gov. James M. Cox, in addition to Goy. Roosevelt, himself, and National Chairman James A. Farley, made good use of their opportunities. In the last days before the election the New York Times, the New York World-Tele- gram, the Cincinnati Enquirer and other leading newspapers of the country declared that these men had completely shattered the campaign of fear. They said t President Hoover’s important declarations had been shown not to be in accord with the facts, and his deductions fallacious. The New York Times particularly stressed the speeches of Owen D. Young that, it said, actually caused an advance in securities and an increase in the Wall Street betting odds on Roosevelt. The Wurld-Telugram paid pur\icular attention to the that they had set the last spurt of the tide in the political ebb and flow toward the Democratic nom- inee and against the President. Wheat is selling in the United States for less than the duty of 42 cents a bushel on foreign wheat. That would indicate that the tariff has been can-| celled out of the problem as far gs wheat is con-| cerned.

Uncle Sam in Red. | (Boston N ile the spokesmen of both parties keep on |quarreling in their eleventh hours about this or |that phase of our National finances—including the question whether the gold standard ever was in real danger—the Treasury bookkeeping continues to record prosaically the results of what our omclal\ stewards have done and are still doing. It al | makes none too cheerful reading—for the taxpayer. The account for the four months of the fiscal year to October 31 shows a partial progress in that the spendings for that period were reduced $193,- 000,000 from a year before; and as the receipts meanwhile fell off $148,000,000, the net improvement compared with a year earlier is about $45,000,000. In other words, a four months’ deficit has shrunk slightly from roughly $675,000,000 a year ago to $630,000,000 for a third of a year. These figures suggest plainly enough how far our budget-balancing is still very much “unfinished business,” with the deficit continuing to roll along toward what may well prove a billion or more for a full fiscal year. For it is evident enough that the! tax returns, from an inadequate job, are still dis-! appointing, while the economy tax has also yet to be applied adequately. Those disappointing tax collections were ex- pected to yield $100,000,000 a month, or $400,000,000 for the four months; instead they netted but $247,- 000,000, though they did get up to $78,000,000 by October. From the Nation's leaner earnings the income tax return for four months was naturally off about $151,000,000 to $187,000,000; and meagre imports likewise explain a customs revenue shrunk almost $50,000,000 to $93,000,000 for four months. Similar reasons explain a Panama Canal tolls drop from eight to six millions. When Uncle Sam could not collect taxes fast enough, he had to borrow more; and even though it was at very low rates lately, the inevitable con- sequencs is the further sizeable growth in the public debt. We had boasted its steady reduction | from the after-war peak of $26,596,000,000 in August, 1919, to the later low of $15,773,000,000 at the end of 1930. Now the pendulum is steadily swinging the other way. At the beginning of this month the debt stood at $20,812,000,000. Here is an increase of no less than $3,521,000,000 in 12 months past; of $1,326,000,- 000 since July 1; of $745,000,000 since September 1] {Expenditures and credit relief burdens, as against| the ‘shrunken tax yields, have caused that swift debt expansion. Reconstruction Finance advances (loans to be repaid) for four months, even after substan- | tial repayments, account for $363,000,000. ! vs Bureau.)

Forgetting Clive wasn't easy. Her thoughts returned to him in every idle moment. Un- fortunately, loving Dicky was an effort. Through fear of what she might do if left to her own de- vices, she scarcely permitted him out of her sight. The quality which had recom- mended him had been his sporti- ness. She now cashed in on it to prevent ‘herself from thinking. From morning till ‘past midnight she was with him in the high- powered runabout which he drove S0 recklessly. She forced him to take her to night clubs. After giving a mystic signal, one burst from a gloomy |street into the glow of an Alad- tdin’s cave. The life they led seemed a chapter from the Arab- ‘They had no leisure for conversation. Meanwhile her father, wishing oy son-in-law, pursued enquiries. He discovered nothing to his discred- it, 3 nothing distinctly favorable. Dicky's pedigree at all events, was traceable. He derived from a race of speculators in Chicago, who in the second generation had quieted down to philanthropy and church-going. Previously to that they'd cornered wheat, lard, rail- roads—there was precious little they hadn't cornered. Their women had specialized in European titles. Dick’s father was worth several millions. Unfortu- nately, the father didn't approve of the son. obscurity. Probably they were sympathetic. Probably they were not sympathetic. Most of Dicky's education had been obtained at foreign schools. Since becoming 2 man he'd lived chiely in France and Austria. Again the answer to wha was he doing there was blank. An inheritance from an aunt was his only visitié means of livelihood. From a social point of view the wedding was a huge success. For weeks costly presents from emi- nent persons had been arriving. The news leaked out ,via the press, that the best man was worth twelve millions. To have a multi- millionaire for a best man, Dicky also must have money. ‘The first night of the honey- moon was spent in New York. Be- (fore sailing for Havana, Santa telephoned her parents that she'd married the finest and most con- | siderate of husbands. At the start of the voyage she was too seasick to enquire or’ care what he was doing. On the third day, when she became convales- cent, she discovered that he’'d been grabbed by a bunch of poker-play- ers. Late that night, since he had not come to bed, she dressed and |went to the smoking room to re- |claim him. She was greeted with loud shouts ‘Here comes the bride.” ‘When she tried to coax him from his chair he showed temper. Lat- er, when she was sleeping sound- ly.in her berth, she was roused by clumsy movements. Hot hands ca- ressed her. “You there, Lou-Lou?” In panic she switched on the light. Dicky blinked his surprise. “Not Tou-Lou!” He was half- seas over. “Gee, you must be the gal I married.” At breakfast next morning his attitude was repentant. He wasn’t certain what had been his con- duct. “Hope 1 didn’t disturb you.” He introduced the subject. “To tell ithe truth, I drank too much last nigh/t." “Who's quietly. “How should I know, darling? I expect she’s a name you've in- vent “She isn't,” Santa shook her curly head. “She's a woman whom you loved before me.” ‘T never pretended there weren't women I loved before you,” he owned gravely. “I ’fessed up that evening when you planned to run off with Clive.” “Dicky, dear, by loved, I thought you meant liked.” “I'm not to blame for what you thought I told you.” Lou-Lou?” she asked learn more about his future|? ‘Why was hidden in; Fraternal Societies '1' { PROFESSIONAL | B.
