Inflated money does not make a noise like sound money, it merely crackles, not cackles. Milwaukee which had been infamous for fourteen years, is made famous once more-by Pabst. Just as the nation was about to realize a new low in the price of cigars up goes the price of cabbage. ahem The aistebine and tattle tale ‘ot our schogl boy days was a most despised and contemptible rat and ostracized as such. A business man, guilty of the same offense, who informs on his competitor comes un- der the same yesieebd Had Capone claimed he was one of the House of Morgan’s business associ- ates, his income tax evasion for which he is Serving a tong term in the pen, might have been condoned. Al is a smart wop, but not quite up to the a standard. dust think of it, some of us were able j to pay income tax, while poor old Morgan and associates didn’t make enough of fil- thy tigre to aid the government to meet expenses. Now let's not get all swelled up about it, but retain a charitable attitude towards the poor. * The aggregate circulation of all the daily papers in the United States is esti- mated to be 38,862,137.—The last four figures about represent the circulation of The Citizen, ie., the press run. The paid circulation is jess, of course. The postoffice department counts as circula- tion only those subscriptions which are paid in advance, but naturally, especially dur- ing these difficult times, there are many subscribers in arrears. TO TACKLE A BIG JOB One of the biggest jobs assigned to any appointee of President Roosevelt is that handed to Arthur E. Morgan, who will head the Tennessee Valley Authority which is to carry out the ambitious plans author- ized for the development and management of the great projects existing or contem- plated in the basin of the Tennessee river. Mr. Morgan has been president of Antioch College at Yellow Springs, © 0., since 1922, The selection of a “college president for such a task would seem’on‘its face to be unusual, to say the least, but it happens that the new appointee had a most impressive record as a civil engineer before he became a college president. He is an internationally known author- ity on drainage and reclamation works, having planned and superintended the con- struction of 75 water control projects. Among these was an eight million dollar reclamation project for the St. Francis vai- ley in Arkansas. He has been supervis- ing engineer of government drainage in- vestigations, in charge of the design of re- clamation works in the southern _ states, and chief engineer of important flood con- trol works in Ohio and Colorado. He drafted or assisted in drafting re- vised drainage codes adopted by. Minne- sota, Mississippi, Arkansas, Qhig, Colorado | and New Mexico, He, therefore, would appear to be well qualified for his new duties, which include the management of Muscle Shoals and the vast new hydro- electric, flood control, navigation and re-| clamation works proposed for the Tennes- see Valley. Many. weighty problems confront Mr. Morgan and his associates in this enormous undertaking, and the manner in’ which they go about solving them will be of in- terest to the entire country, as many mil- liens ‘of public money will be involved. WALL STREET The Wall Street market seems to possess a growing strength that promises to carry it along on the upward path for some time to come, which-is certain to give general satisfaction. . There are some dangers in the. path- way ahead to higher ijevels, but the probability is that they . not prove in- surmountable. All the government legislation is frankly for the raising of values in terms of the dollar, and where this is the ulti- mate aim, there is reason for believing that prices will. continue to advance. All price values are the result of sup- ply and demand and while there are plenty of sellers, the ranks of whom will be increased as prices rise, there will also be plenty of buyers, who will be tempted to speculate on the chances of the govern- ment aims succeeding, There is still another argument at the present time for higher prices of securities, and that is the universal feeling and confidence in the return of business prosperity. With the return of business to our in- dustrial corporations, the value of their Securities would naturally be enhanced by their increased earnings. ~ But there is'a limit to these — possible: inciieased values and caution! should be exercised to prevent. purchases beyond a reasonable prospective value. . Those who yenture into the Wall Street game must remember that all the inereased values at the present time are purely speculative. NEW ORDER The country is surely getting the new deal that was promised it during the last campaign. On all sides the old order of things has been changed and new ideas and methods put into effect. Some of the new ideas have seemed a bit revolution- ary to some of our people, but- then. these are the people who regard anything new as revolutionary. The country bas been ruled by a conservative element that has not kept abreast of the times and has thus led us inte difficulties. New men and new ideas have displaced these conservatives, and although they are raising their hands in bely horror, the country seems to be getting along fairty well under the new regime.

It was the intention of the department to erect a $250,- 000 depot.

The affair was held at Aronovitz Hall and was one of the gayest events of the season. Editerial comment: A fool and IS “BIG MONEY” EXEMPT? The first day of the J. P. Mor-jf gan testimony produced a disclos- ure that astounded the nation. The people were not amiss in ex- pecting thrilis from the hearing. They got one “pronto.” Mr. Morgan blandly andeplacid- ly admitted that he hadn’t paid any income tax since 1930. As for 1929, he “cowidn’t remember.” A little later, a Morgan employe} stated that none of the ihdnbers) of the Morgan firm had paid any income tax in two years. That is not pleasant reading to the ordinary fellow who has_ to struggle each years to pay an in-} come tax, steeply increased ‘this| year, to be more severely increas-| ed next year, and who knows that, ! if he fails to make a retarn or} to pay immediately when due, he’s; up against a fine or jail. The explanation given was that the firm had a loss of 21 millions; but immediately the admission came that this loss was not used in evading payment. What then. was used? “You’re pinching hadn’t heard. exclaims, enecese TODAY IN . 1431—Joan of The disclosures in the Mitchell; national heroine, burned at the case are fresh in the public mind.|stake, aged 19. a is on trial under criminal Iharges of evading his income taxes.
