SHARPER THAN A SERPENT’S
TOOTH
GET a vacant chair and drop a not-too-
D bitter tear for one of America’s oldest,
--most familiar campaign year .figures. Tlw
tariff, apparently, will not he present for
the 1936 voting festivities.
In the old log-rolling days when the
tariff meant rich prizes for the Ins, 'bit-
ter medicine for the outs, no campaign
was complete without it. Reciprocal trade
agreements with their attention to eco-
nomic facts and their disregard of do-
— mestic political demands have changed all
that.
But there is still another reason why
the tariff will' not be talked about In
this year of business' discontent. The
Roosevell trade agreements are proving
to be good for business. And the oppo-
sitions, 1936 campaign strategy requires
that if nothing evil can be said about a
government policy, it should be ignored.
Figures-just tabulated show what hap-
pened to business during January, the
first month in which the Canadian treaty
was in effect. They disclose that exports
went up 15 per cent, Imports 14 per cent.
Hard - pressed manufacturers of mna-
chinery and electrical equipment — heavy
goods industries about which so much has
been said — got most of the benefits,
though Southern fruit growers came in for
a fair share,
Four other trade agreements were in
effect during all or part of 1936. Our
exports to Belgium Increased 31 per cent,
to Haiti 17 per cent, and to Sweden 16.
per cent, while exports to Cuba were 110
per cent greater than in 1933, 80 per cent
greater than in 1934.
Many of the men profiting by these
agreements will not favor Roosevelt’s re-
election. They will rely on the proba-
bility that any man elected in 1936 will
continue this eminently successful policy.
The moral is one King Lear learned many
years ago.
A PART OF OKLAHOMA
(From the Oklahoma City Oklahoman)
OKLAHOMA is going to be a very dif-
U ferent state without Walter Ferguson.
The loss of almost no other citizen would
have left a vacant place so large, For
more than a prominent citizen died when
Walter Ferguson fell to sleep in Wash-
Ington. An Oklahoma institution may be
said to have passed out of existence. -
Whenever we sustain a real loss we
try to console ourselves by saying, "Some
one else will take his place." But some
places are never taken - some Vacancies
are never filled. It is not impossible that
some one will step forth presently and
take the place of Walter Ferguson.
ne improbable. At least
think of no one capable of t
But It
we can
aking his
place as the heavy tidings of his taking off
come closer home to those who knew
him. No. On second thought, we can
think of no one at all.
It was a natural thing for Walter Fer-
guson to love Oklahoma and her history
and to give much of his time to the worth-
while task of preserving so much of Okla-
homa’s historical treasures. For he had
seen at first hand much of that history
made. He had known both the sod houses
and the skyscrapers. He had seen the
run of the oil men follow the run of the
farmers and shopmen. He had been a
part, and an intimate part, of every Okla-
homa development. He had seen it all,
he had known it all, and he was an In-
tegral part of It all.
If the eyes of the myriads who knew
him are not wet with tears today, it is
because they know that tears would not
be in keeping with the character of there
man who has gone.. He would prefer
smiles and golden laughter. He was the
kind of man who might wink slyly at
those who mourn him If any man In all
time ever met death with his fingers
crossed and with a joke for the grim ferry-
man, we have w-wuspcion that that man.....1
was Walter Ferguson.
If conscious life runs-beyond the pale |
boundary and carries human- recognition
with it into the house not made with |
hands, then there was one hilarious hour
beyond the river Sunday when Walter
Ferguson arrived. If he is now with John
Golobie and Frank Greer and Omer Bene-
dict, and other boon companions of the
old printshop days, there in no occasion for
tears or heart throbs,on theyhither side of

LEST THEY HANG SEPARATELY
DAILROAD labor groups have been
IV standing on one side and railroad
management groups on the other, both
using political pressure on Congress to
solve their common problems.
This has been true through many ses-
sions, and yet neither side is satisfied with
the legislative grist which has issued-
more liberal bankruptcy procedure, pro-
visions for consolidations and reorganiza-
tions and economies, and protection for
working standards befitting “the aristo-
crats of labor."
But today the railroads are a be-
leaguered industry, and far from a monop-
oly. Motor trucks, motor buses, airplanes
and inland water carriers, have made and
continue to make costly competitive raids
on rail traffic. The rate yardstick, "all
the traffic will bear," no longer means
what it did under monopolistic conditions.
To recapture pre-eminence in the trans-
portation field, the railroads need to elim-
inate costly duplicating services and effect
other economies, reduce rates and put their
financial affairs on a sound basis to they
can raise new capital to modernize equip-
mente The workers, whose numerical
strength already has been pared down by
the depression and the railroads’, loss of
business, properly demand that all this
reorganization not be effected’ at their
expense. L So they prevail upon Congress
to protect their jobs by law. Congress
did this under an emergency transporta-
tion law which will expire in a few weeks.
The workers ask that all of these safe-
guards and many more be written into a
new law. And the railroad operators,
who contended the emergency act's labor
provisions were too onerous, are ada-
mant against any extension or enlarge-
ment.
Meanwhile competitors are still going
after the business which is robbing the
railroads of profits and the rail workers
of jobs.
The President lias merely reminded
railroad management and labor of the
first law of nature- self-preservation.

By WESTBROOK PEGLER
VIENNA, Back in the good old days of
V monarchy, life in' Vienna was: very
' romantic. Old Francis Josef, the emperor
who reigned from 1848 to 1916, was an
extremely pious , m a n
who devoted himself to
many .good works, but
seven he had his honey-
an actress by trade-
.who used to live close

and often dropped in of
an evening to help him
worry about his respon-
sihllities.

Bavarian princess and
sister of crazy King Lud-

other the light that the
emperor’s son, Rudolph, killed himself and
his mistress In 1899. Rudolph didn't
like his wife and wanted his marriage
annulled so that he could make an honest
woman of his friend around the corner,
but Francis Josef was a firm believer in
the sanctity of marital ties, and he dis-
approved the idea.

millions of. I is toners most of whom
couldn't have bothered to turn the dials
If the professional and amateur viewers-
with-alarm hadn't drummed up wide pub-
licity for the speech by predicting calami-
tous consequences. ,
What a build-up! And what a let-
down!
Much as any other Kansas-born poli-
tician would do. Browder tore into Wall
Street. It's always safe to denounce' Wall
Street and the man-eating shark. Much as
Democratic, Republican, Townsendite, Free
Silverite, Greenbacker and other spellbind- -
ers do dally, Browder solemnly told the
people what they already knew -that the
biggest problem before America today is
putting men to work. Much as Republi-
can orators say daily, he declared that
the Democratic New Deal Is bankrupt. • As
emphatic®as any Democrat, he said that
the Republicans do not have the solution.
Anil as any other political out, he claimed
to have all the answers.
He called for a united Farmer-Labor
Party and gradual extension of government
ownership and operation of industry. And
he advocated the redistribution of wealth
and jobs, promising Incomes from *2500 to
$10,bOO a year for all who will work.
Just imagine anyone who listens to the.
speeches of Governor Olson of Minnesota
or who used to listen to Huey Long being
shocked by that mild imitation. -
But what if this "subversive doctrine"
had been suppressed? What if Browder
had been treated as a Communist country
treats an agitator for Democracy?
Al lady went to Geneva for a little vaca-
tion and was stabbed by an Italian nihilist
as she was stepping off “ boat, leaving the
00 gentleman alone with his mistress
the lady of the theater.
Now, at the ase of 8O the mistress
of Emperor Francis Josef lives in quiet
luxury, much respected by press and pub-
lic, in Vienna, remembering the good old
days of the empire. She owns an import-
ant downtown block, a town house and
villa in country and receives to this day
from the Austrian people a generous pen-
sion based not on any personal favor to the
. emperor but on her service to art and
state as a member of the theater. -
* * *
THOSE Hapsburgs were nice, respectable,
1 conscientious people and so pious and
churchgoing, too. Why, back there in
1854, when a crazy tailor tried to stab
Francis Josef but struck- him on the stiff
gold collar of his uniform and merely
scratched his throat instead, do you know
what the emperor's brother, Maxmilian,
did? Well, that great-hearted, God-fear-
ing, church-going saint on earth clapped
his hands for architects and built a Votive
church as a thank offering for his broth-
| er a deliverance, graciously permitting the
people to pay for it. Big-hearted Max.
To be sure, they snatched that crazy
tailor by the hair of the head and gave
him a damn good hanging. But when you
weigh the Votive church against the life
of a crazy tailor with no decent respect
for the emperor you have to concede that
the church was the greater boon to man- •
kind. The tailor probably would be dead
by now, „anyway, but the church is still
.there, and you may go in and pray for
the restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty
and the revival of the good old days when-
ever you feel the desire.
Many of our citizens would still, be ' The revival of the good old days would
1 bring back to tire cellars of the em-
trembling in their boots instead of enjoy-
Ing disillusionment. And many other cit-
izens would be calling Browder a martyr,
instead of a flop.
Revision Danger
By JOHN T. FLYNN
NEW YORK.—The President’s proposed

many dangerous spots in the whole cor-
poration income tax scheme that it should
be approached with the |
on com po

ation taxes are really
part of our personal in- |
come tax plan. All with-
in certain brackets pay
taxes on their incomes.
The earnings of a cor-
poration belong to the
stockholders. The earn-
ings, therefore, are a
part of the income of the
stock holders.
Let us suppose that a
corporation earns $10
a share in a year and t
that you own a share |
of that stock. The pres- |
ent law imposes a tax on
those earnings graduating from 1212 to
15 per cent. One way for the Govern-
ment to collect this tax would be to
wait until you received your share of
the earnings from 'the corporation and
and then deduct it from the dividends paid
to you. This Is called, collecting taxes at
live-source. This is what is done now.
One great difficulty grows out of this.
In this corporation referred to, which
made $10 itt earnings, the corporation may
decide to pay .out $5 in dividends to you
and keep the other $5 as surplus. If you
. earned this $10 as a private, unincorpor-
ated business you would have to pay a
tax not only on the $10 but the $10 would
help to swell your personal income and
hence to increase your surtax. But in. the
case of the cor poration, while the $.10
iased IS is pall as a dividend to
you and your personal income is Increased
by only $5 and hence your surtax is held
down.

Law was suspended."
The fact is that producers
were not told to get together
on prices, but that price fixing
was forbidden and every code
explicitly required conformity
with the Sherman Law prohibi-
tions against monopolistic price '
fixing. The NRA effort to pre- |
. vent discriminatory price cut- |
ting and selling below cost, i
which is one of the worst and
—most widely used Instruments |
of monopoly, was wholly con-
sistent with the anti-trust laws
and afforded protection against
monopoly to thousands of small
manufacturers and merchants—
as they repeatedly testified.
Mr. Flynn says: “Under the
NRA the steel makers were per-
mitted to get together to re-
vive the old Pittsburgh-plus or
basing point system of charging
for steel. This was an old prac-
tice, but was stopped when
Harding was President,"
■ The fact Is that when the ,
single basing point system-
called "Pittsburgh plus — was
outlawed by a decision of the
Federal Trade Commission, the
steel manufacturers throughout
the country adopted a multiple

been In operation for many
years before the NRA without

The practice of piling up surpluses by 1
corporations for the purpose of defeating
the surtax is a common one, and an un-
deniable evil. The trouble is that in at-
tacking it, the President proposes to pull
down the whole structure of corporation
income taxes.
This means that he will do away with
the excess profits tax and the more or
less new capital stock tax which is an ex-
tremely important feature of the present
tax system. One wonders why iL is nieces-
sary, in order to tax undistributed sur-
pluses, to do away with all the other cor-
poration income taxes The President’s
objective could be attained quite as effec-
tively by imposing a proper., tax on un-
distributed surpluses and permitting the
other corporation levies to stand.

then carefully studied by NRA
officials with the aid of eco-
nomic and legal advice furnish-
ed by impartial and outstand-
ing authorities in the univer-
sities.
As a result, the NRA recom-
mended drastic modifications of
the basing point system to be
gradually made effective so as
to prevent a sudden disorgani-
zation of the entire industry.
To anyone who understands
J this subject, the location of
basing points for price quota-
tion in a producing area is a
sound and fair business prac-
tice. On the other hand, the
maintenance of artificial basing
points is subject to many criti-

evil of a drastic change in ex-

VV wed better look around
at some of these apartments." I
pleaded a heavy cold.
“Don't be silly,” said the Man
from Mars. "With this little in-
strument we can see anything
we want anywhere in New
York." He handed me some-
thing which looked like a cross
between an opera glass and a
harmonica. “Take sixty-seven on
the dial,” he said. We were both
looking into the hallway of an
elaborate Park Ave. apartment,
and by the door there sat as
villainous a looking man as I
have ever seen. He had on heavy
black gloves to conceal brass
knuckles, and he carried a long
wooden club.
“Quick!” cried Harry, startled
out of his usual Martian calm.
“This must be a holdup. That
man is a thug if I ever saw

“But the unions are asking
only an increase of $8 a month,
and this hired slugger gets that

"VOU came here to investigate

said sharply. “You mustn't look

“Who built these hotels and

Harry.
“Well, to a great extent they
were built by small Investors
who were allowed to buy stock
and bonds in the various bujld-
ings."
■ "So that even if they paid
high -rents they got part of it
back in dividends. Not a bad
idea.".
“Oh, the investors don't get
any dividends," I hastened to
add. “Most of the buildings
have gone broke and reverted to
the banks."

The NRA can be criticized
for many mistakes of policy
and administration. But the
claim that it served as a pro-

Into the maelstrom of modern hurry which

Life is a game of gambling,

Life is a game of gambling, the
