A Double Taxation Burden Removed
Many American corporations and companies and
industries including banks doing business in France will
save millions of dollars in taxation as a result of an
agreement signed by the American ambassador and the
president of the French republic. This agreement era-
dicates the double taxation burden which has been car-
ried by American houses with branches in France since
1926. Under this tax regulation all foreign corporations
doing business in France had been assessed from 16 to 18
per cent on that part of their dividends ascribed to French
operations. Now the French part of the burden has been
lifted. As for the tariff taxes on American imports they
haven’t been lifted. There is a reason for it. If protec-
tion is a good thing for the United States why isn’t it a
good thing for France?
Where the Hazards Lie
The accident to Captain Hawks emphasizes one of
the most peculiar aspects of modern aviation—the fact
that the moments of greatest danger usually come not
when a plane is high in the air but when it is just leaving
or just reaching the solid earth.
Too much can happen in a fraction of a second at
such times. When things go wrong while the plane is in
flight the pilot has time to take action to meet the emer-
gency; all else failing he can take to his parachute. But
when an emergency develops during the takeoff or the
landing there is nothing to do but cut the switch and
breathe a prayer—if he has time.
The next great advance in aviation safety will prob-
ably come in some way of making the beginning and the
ending of a flight less hazardous.

LaFollette and His Message
Gov. Phillip LaFollette of Wisconsin in a telegram
addressed to governors of 25 states in conference in the
city of Richmond Ya. urged opposition to the Glass bank-
ing bill before the United States senate on the grounds that
it “constitutes a serious threat to state banks generally and
the entire system of independent banking.” States to j
which the communication was sent Gov. LaFollette said
are those who prohibit establishment of branch banks and
those which have no branches in operation at the present
time.
Gov. LaFollette of Wisconsin and Judge George W.
Armstrong of Texas appear to be sleeping in the same
financial bed but the Texan said it first. He denounced
the Glass bill as a menace to state banks everywhere.
On the Trail of High Salaries
Now the interstate commerce commission is making
Inquiry into the salaries paid by the principal railroads of
the nation. Indeed the finance division of the commis-
sion without any explanation issued an order that all
Class 1 railway companies report to the commission the
positions held by all persons receiving the annual rate of
pay as $10000 or more. It is getting so in this land of the
free that a gentleman who is enjoying a good thing in the
shape of a high salary is threatened not only with inves-
tigations but a swift pruning of his annual stipend.

Lissen Trout:
You're well off. at that;
You're hunted and annoyed
Harrassed and abused. yes
But you've got it on me
In more ways than one:
Nature's given you some swell
Hiding places and you've got
Protective coloring • .
Anybody can see me for miles!
• • •
There's not much peace for
Either of us but you've
Got the advantage
I'd give a lot to be able
To hide behind a rock when
These reporters come . . .

Come swooping down.

You don't have to lay corner-

All you’ve got to do is
Not eat anything with a

I'd be tickled silly!!
’Sfunny • . . Here I am stalking
you
Up a brook and trying to
Give you the hook and yet
I know exactly hew it feels
To be in y ur position . . .
I've been in it myself for
The last four years and
Hate I been a victim of
Illegal tackle and
Unsportsmanlike tactics?
Sav the gang that's after me
Uses worms and evervfhing
And throws nothing back
As too small!
• • •
you re lucky.
What? You don't think so?
All right. Trout. I'll make
You a proposition • . .
Lissen: I'll change places:

SOW fiO OS WITH THE STOUT
CHAPTER XXXIV
CUSAN’S engagement had not
been announced since neither
she nor Heath desired the pub-
licity but it was a definite engage-
ment Just the same. Aunt Jessie
home from the hospital had been
told of it. She had met Ernest
Heath and had grudgingly liked
him I'.lthougb she had grumbled at
the idea of their marriage.
"I never thought to see you
marry a divorced man." she
mourned. "Especially someone so
much older. Not that he Isn’t a
fine man.' Anyone with half an
eye can see that. It Just don’t
seem right.”
The starched nurse Heath had
Insisted upon providing for the
convalescent bustled into the
room then and Aunt Jessie fell
silent. The plan was that on the
following day Aunt Jessie was to
;o to Florida in the nurse's charge.
The marriage would take place the
following month.
"It don't seem right” Aunt
Jessie went on when the nurse
had disappeared "to accept so
much from a perfect stranger.”
"He's not a perfect stranger."
Susan said laughing and then
wondered if she had really spoken
the truth. It had been strange
and difficult for her to call her
employer Ernest. She had finally
managed it as she had learned
also to like and admire the slim
quiet aristocratic man whom she
had promised to marry. There
was no time for regret. The die
hrd been cast. Heath had thought
it unsuitable for her to continue
working in the office so she was a:
home.
"Time for your nap” she re-
minded the Invalid.
Aunt Jessie grumble! "I de-
:lare I never eipected to see the
' day when I’d sleep In the middle
of the afternoon. 1 call it shift-
i less."
j "You’re a humbug. You really
like It." Susan told her leaving
to get her wraps. Heath was call-
ing to take her for a drive.
He looked at the girl with some
dissatisfaction as she got into the
car.
"What on earth’s the matter?"
Suaan asked.
"Nothing e-icept that I wish
you'd let me give you that fur
coat now instead of waiting until
later” the man remarked.
• • •
CUSAN shook her head. On this
point she was stubborn. She
would take anything for Aunt Jes-
sie but nothing for herself until
she was rightfully Heath’s wife.
"I thought we’d go out to that
little Spanish place for tea.” he
said.
“That would he nice. I'd Ilk©
that” she assured him. The lux-
ury and care with which he sur-
rounded her was almost suffocat-
ing. Was she warm enough? Why
had she worn those thin shoes?
Susan appreciated the solicitude
at the 6ame time finding it a little
trying. Young men were not like
this she reminded herself. Young
men were careless and selfish a tic!
arrogant.
"What are you thinking of? You
look as if you were miles away.”
She turned to smile at him.
•'Only of how good you are to
me.*'
There! She had pleased him
and with so little. She was almost
ashamed. It was so easy to make
him happy. She divined some-
thing of his former lonelinesjf.
The drive was longer than Su-
san had expected and it was dark
when at last they returned to the
city. It had been a clear cold
sunshiny day. and a faint light
still lingered on the lake. On
sudden impulse Susan said. ‘‘Let’s
walk along the lake wall."
She wanted quite unreasonably
to escape from the warm luxuri-
ous car ar.d feel the east wind on
her cheeks. Heath told Simon to
wait for them at the turn of the
road.
“It's lovely here. Isn't It?"
breathed the girl. She leaned
against the parapet looking down
at the water.
"Not as much so as some of the
places you and I are going to see
soon.” the man reminded her.
She shivered Involuntarily. In-
stantly he was all solicitude.
"You're cold. I knew you
would be. We d better go back
to the car."
"No. no. It's do! that.1* she
. protested. "It's only that I feel a
little frightened sometimes. It;
uiki all worked out too smoothly.
It seems as though something
must be bound to happen.”
"Nonsense.” His reassurance
was robust. "You’re Just fanciful
that’s
’’Maybe I am.” But had It been
fancy. Susan wondered that had
caused her to imagine the tall
figure strolling past the house
several nights when she had been
saying goodby to Heath looked
strangely liko Ben ? Somehow the
idea had made her uneasy. She
had refused to see Ben since
Christmas eve when he had out-
rageously kissed her.
“What’s that?” she asked fear-
fully. glancing over her shoulder.
"Nothing at all. Just the wind
In the branches.”
“It sounded like someone run-
ning.” She looked back along
the wind swept esplanade. “Per-
haps we had better po.”
• • •
'"THEY began to walk briskly In
the direction from which they
had come. Susan flung another
anxious glance over her shoulder j
Her nerves were certainly in a bad
state. She could have sworn she
had seen the shadow of a figure
behind that oak tree.
She heard the whine of some-
thing past her ear. Heath
grasped her arm roughly and be-
gan to run.
“What’s the matter?" she pant-
ed. flying along beside him.
“Nothing nothing! Only come
along."
1 The footfalls behind them were
'no longer imaginary. They were
real. That strange whining sound
came again and Susan recognized
it for what it was—the zoom of
a bullet! She felt her companion
6way against her.
“What is It?” she cried. “Some-
thing warm trickled Inside her
glove. "You’re hurt!”
“It's nothing. Some maniac has
turned sniper.” Heath gasped.
They could see the car only a
few feet ahead. Heath stumbled
and fell and Susan through a
roaring in her ears heard a cry. *
She wheeled. The street light
glimmering lighted the nightmare
before her. There was Heath un-
conscious at her feet. There was
Ben. batless beneath the trees
turning a bright barreled object
upon himself.
“Stop it. you fool! Stop It!” It
was her own voice but it sounded
hoarse and strange. Ben lay gro-
tesquely like a fallen marionette.
Simon came running and lifted his
employer.
it’s nothing. He only got me
in the arm." Heath muttered. “I’ll
be all right.” They helped him to
the car. Oddly enough there were
no spectators for this little drama.
The park at this hour at this par-
ticular place was deserted.
