H Liberty through 11 the land" Those who are governed least are governed best." "The power to tax is the power to destroy." Thomas Jefferson. No New Taxes The best news the country has had for some time is the president's flat declaration that no new taxes are necessary. Presumably Mr. Roosevelt knows what he's talking about, and congress will have a hard time convincing the country that he doesn't. Of course, it is idle now to talk about reducing taxes. We have to pay for the enormous expenditures of the past three years. It does no good to argue whether these expenditures expendi-tures were necessary or not that's water over the dam. The president says that expenses will descend as business busi-ness and employment pick up. That also is good news. The most constructive thing congress can do will be to reduce excuses to a minimum. The less it costs to run our overburdened government, the more money there will be to reduce debts and get back to something like normalcy. The huge debt burden needs swift reduction. That reduction re-duction can be made, severe though the task will be, by strict economy and a saving of every penny possible. The sooner we can pay for our depression and get it over with, the better. Who Is Happy Reading the news day by day you are struck by the fact that most wealthy, prominent and famous people are not always happy: many of them are downright tragic figures. If anyone deserved contentment and peace, it was the Lindberghs. The final end of i heir heroism and decency is exile from their native lantl. Surely, in history, there have been few cases so bitterly sad. Hardly a day passes without its record of suffering and tragedy concerning some one envied by the world for his or her fame, beauty, wealth or apparent success. Death is said to love a shining mark ; so does fate. You are reminded of the king who wanted the shirt of a happy man, the wearing of which he thought, would bring-him bring-him happiness. But the happiest man in the kingdom had no shirt to his back. The idea that happiness lies in the mind, not in material oossessions, is so sold that we hesitate to mention it again. It is one of those eternal truths that live simply because they prove themselves over and over again. There is also a law of compensation. To get one thing, you must sacrifice another. You may have fame or contentment, content-ment, but not both; wealth or a carefree existence, but not both. The best things in life still are free and all the honors and gold and material things on earth cannot purchase them. Neat Trick of Economics A United Press dispatch from Washington, hints that the Townsend plan may be toned down somewhat to meet the criticisms that have been ieveied against it. Its sales tax features may be modified: and this, says the dispatch, is because economists have jKiinted out that 70 per cent of the people of America have incomes providing them with the bare necessities of life, and so could not afford such a tax burden. This bit of statistics may be a useful warning for Towns-endites, Towns-endites, but it also cuts both ways, htr if 70 per cent of our citizens can just barely meet the daily lulls of grocer and landlord, it is pretty easy to understand just why so many people want the Townsead plan. The one sure way to quiet this clamor for universal old-age old-age pensions would be to raise the incomes of the masses so that they could provide for old age themselves. And that trick, unfortunately, is easier to outline than to perform. This Curious WERE AT THE " ; b ; ! : ' e i mm m v mt AFTER THE. CRAZE IN AMERICA TITANIC DISASTER.

Of course, clothing sent to laundries is not dumped pell-mell pell-mell into the tubs, but is tied in an individual laundry net made of cloth. After each individual wash is finished, the laundry nets have to be washed. This takes time and work. The new rubber laundry nets require no washing.

The bearded Illinoisian, who despite de-spite his age is one of the snappiest snappi-est dressers on Capitol Hill, also is a great favorite among his colleagues. col-leagues. Many stories are related about his ornate attire. One of these incidents occurred when Lewis was a member of the house many years ago. One day, shortly after the chamber cham-ber had convened, he jumped to his feet, excitedly flourishing a newspaper, and demanded the floor. "This gentleman will state his reason," said Speaker Reed. "Mr. Speaker," replied Lewis. "I rise to a question of personal privilege. I have in my hand a copy of a paper in which I am referred to as 'a thing of beauty and joy forever'." Reed looked at Lewis a moment, then observed solemnly: "The point is well taken. The paper should have said, 'a thing of beauty and jaw forever'." BUDGET MESSAGE j To President Roosevelt his annual an-nual budget message is no ordinary ordin-ary chore. He considers it among his most important state papers; devotes much time, gives care to its preparation. Actual work on this session's message began more than a month ago at Warm Springs, Ga., where between daily dips in the pool, the president talked with Secretary Morgenthau, Budget Director Bell, Chairman Buchanan of the house appropriations committee, and Under Secretary of Interior West. As he discussed the various phases of the proposed message he jotted down notes on ideas, phrases, figures. When he returned to the White The Golden Feather by Robert Bruc o mi NEA svice, if. CHAPTER XIX WTHEN Larry Glenn arrived at the sales rooms ef the State Auto Sales. Inc., he found that Bobby Wallace was out with a prospect, pros-pect, and he had to wait for more than an hour before the young man returned. When Bobby finally did come In. he came over to Larry with a smile and an outstretched hand. Larry shook his hand and said quietly, "Bobby, I've got to have a little talk with you. Can you come outside for a while and perch In my car with me?" "Why, sure. What's up?" "Tell you when we get outside." They walked to where Larry's car waa parked and got into the front seat. "Bobby," said Larry at last. T think you're just done the most foolish thing of your whole life, and I want you to tell me everything every-thing you can remember about it." sbby looked at him in utter wonder. "Tell me," said Larry, "all about those bonds you Bold to Don Montague." Mon-tague." "Those bonds began Bobby. He turned toward the detective. "Why, what's wrong with them?" Larry smiled a wry smile. "Nothing," he said, "except that they were stolen from the National Bank of Neola, a month and a half ago, by the Red Jackson gang. That's ill." Bobby gaped, his mouth open, his vocal chords seemingly unable to function. At last he managed to gulp. "Stolen?" "Yes. Those were what we call hot bonds, Bobby. We've been looking look-ing for them for weeks in the hope that their appearance would lead us to the gangsters. And when we do find them we discover that you yourself sold them!" It took Bobby another minute to collect his faculties sufficiently to tell his story, but at last he managed man-aged to do it. In halting, uncertain uncer-tain sentences he told the whole story, aided by Larry's quiet but insistent in-sistent questions. a WfHEN the boy finished he sat in the corner of the seat and listened to Larry's brief, succinct explanation ot the true circumstances circum-stances of the deal. At last he hook his head in bitter self-condemnation. "Did yon ever see a bigger fool than me?" he asked miserably. miser-ably. Larry smiled at him. "You have been pretty much ot a tool, Bobby,' he said.

From his sheaf of penciled pencil-ed memos the president dictated a first rough draft to his personal stenographer, Miss Grace Tulley. Only three copies were made of this draft. The president handed hand-ed it personally to the advisers he wanted, for suggestions and to check errors. With their written comments before him he then "read copy" on the original document. docu-ment. As he read, he made marginal notes in spencil for elimniations and insertions. These inserts the president tagged "A", "B", "C"! etc. Miss Tulley made a few copies eliminating the noted deletions and inserting the new material. Only one copy was made of that the consequences won't be too serious for you " Bobby's face suddenly became white. It had not occurred to him before that by dealing in stolen bonds he had made himself him-self criminally liable. ". the main thing." Larry was saying, "is to run down this gang and get them all locked ap First of all. can you remember where that apartment was that they took you to?" Bobby wrinkled his browa, then shook his head slowly. "Not exactly." he said. "I remember re-member it was out on the west side in an apartment hotel, but I didn't pay much attention to where we were going. It was off West Park boulevard somewhere. I remember." "You didn't notice the name of the building?" The boy shook his bead unhappily. unhap-pily. "No. Gosh, I'm sorry." "Think you'd know it again if you saw it?" Bobby thought this over. "1 might. Yes, I think I would." "Well, there aren't so many apartment hotels out that way but what we ought to be able to find it. . . . Now, about another thing, Bobby. You say this Lewis wanted $10,000 to buy a car. I didn't know your firm had any cars that cost that much." "We don't," said Bobby. "Sixty four hundred is tops with our line. He said it was a special custom Job." Larry was silent for a moment. Then he said: . "Bobby, you'll help me all yoa can, won't you?" "Lord, yes." said Bobby fervently. fer-vently. "Weil did you ever hear of armored cars? I don't mean like the express trucks; I mean cars that gangsters use. made out of bullet-proof steel, with bulletproof bullet-proof glass in the windows, and so on." DOBBY nodded. He looked up -t suddenly and asked, "You thik this " "It might be," said Larry slowly. slow-ly. "Listen, Bobby, we've never yet been able to find out where those cars are made. Somebody must have a pretty elaborate sort of factory somewhere to turn them out; but wherever it is, it's pretty well concealed. All we can learn is that the most successful suc-cessful gangsters do manage to get them. Now there's Just a chance that this $10,000 purchase pur-chase of Lewis's was one ot these cars. If so " he paused to let his words sink In: "If so, that means that State Auto Sales. Inc., is a secret distributing point for them." Bobby gasped, and once more murmured "Good Lord!" weakly. "Did you ever see that car?" asked Larry. "Not close up." said Bobby. "I remember the morning Lewis came for it, Mr. Hopkins himself him-self took him back into the shop, and next I saw Lewis was driving driv-ing away in it- It was just a big sedan; looked like any other good car as far as I could see." Larry nodded. "They do," he said. "You could even ride in one without knowing what it was, unless you knew what to look for. The window class is - By George I keep him looking like onu.

"Montague didn't involve her in any of this bond business, dil he?" "No. But I'm worried abotiv her. How much has she beeo seeing of this fellow Harkins?" I Bobby shook his head slowly. "Not very much, I don't think," he said. "She never says anything about him to me. Ot couse, she saw him two or thro times there at the Golden Feather, but that was two weeks ago or more." "I hope you're right. The one thing that would be worse tnau letting you get mixed up with this mob would be for her to become be-come infatuated with ne of it members." Bobby's eyes grew wider. "Oh.
