The end of almost every pre- j
vious depression in the history of
the world has been marked by
Some kind of a speculative boom.
Perhaps the wave of speculation
in gold mining stocks which start -
ed a couple off weeks atm on the
Stock Exchange may prove
th^mrpeitus that will bring money
back into circulation rapidly
More gold was mined in 1932
than In any previous year since
world records began to be kept.
Moot of it came from South AfW-
o&n mines; a Mg percentage of it
from Oanada. Gold is worth more,
measured in commodities and la-,
bar, than it has ever been. That
makes shares in producing gold
mines particularly valuable.
In times like these no predic-
tions are safe, but I want to reg-
ister a guess that the next few
months will see a revival of specu-
lation not only in goOd mining
stocks, but in other securities.
Speculation does not make pros-
perity, but it is nearly always an j
evidence that people who control j
important moneyi have came to the j
conclusion that the worst is over,
and are taking their money out cf j
hiding And that means that j
prosperity is closer at hand.

4Juf^he fairest systems of taxa- j
titSBre those that are based di- |
rectly upon what the taxpayer* gets
for his money. Every cigarette
smoker pays a six cent tax evemyi
time he buys a package cf twenty
cigarettes .but nobody protests be-,
cause nobody feels that he is being
taxed. Pew people object to pay-
ing the gasoline tax, the proceeds
of, which make highway improve-
ment and maintenance possible.
I think one weakness of our
Income tax system is that incomes
from all sources are taxed at the
Name rate and lumped together.
Incomes from rents aught posstbliw
be taxed at one rate, incomes
from dividends on stock invest-
ments at another rate, and in-1
comes from the profits of trade at |
Still another. j

It more Intelligently than ever be-

changes in our taxation system. ,
FUNERAL FOR
ALBERT WOOD
AT PECAN GAP
PIONEER CITIZEN DIED
TUESDAY; BURIAL
WEDNESDAY.
Perhaps the next amendment to
the Federal Constitution will be
the |^Wal of prohibition, .but there
is anmiheT amendment that has
been pending for ten years, which
may get In ahead of repeal,
y This is the amendment permit-
ting the Federal Government to
bar from interstate commerce the
products of the labor cf children
under eighteen. Congress passed
a IW rears agio to that effect, and
the Supreme Court held It uncon-
stitutional- An amendment to the
Oonstituion to overcome this was
submitted in 1922. Only nine State
Legislatures have ratified it. Thir-
teen have not even brought it to
a vote, and twenty-six have reject-
ed it.
j A great many people believe that
this child labor amendment is more
vital to the future welfare of the
United States than the repeal of
prohibition.
Nearly two years ago I began
commenting in this column on the
price of silver and its effect upon,
oorpmodity prices and world trade,
rice then a good many intclll-
veople on both sides of the
have waked up to tha fact
that^We demonetization of silver
to Europe and the resulting of de-
valuation of the money of the
Orient is one of the Important
causes of low commodity prices
and a serious obstacle to interna-
tional commerce
I think It can be proved that
the re-establishment of the pre-
war price of siilveT would be the

Delath was due to a complication
of diseases which had sapped the
former heavyweight champion’s
strength the (past year and develop-
ed a fatal heart ailment three weeks
ago He was 66 years old.
Wistifu’ly. a few hours before he 1
died, his dark eyes opened' and
fflowly searched the room where he
has received the homage of the
Sporting world since the day he
was stricken.
“You’re there dear, aren’t you?’’
Corbett asked, with a smile, as he
looked for his wife, who had been
his constant nurse and companion.
“Of course, Jim,’’ she replied.
"Kiss me, darling.”
He groped for her with one arm.
She leaned over. As she kissed him
Corbett sank back into another
period of unconsciousness from
which he never emerged.

While Chester Slough of route
1 was cutting stalks last week, his
mules ran away with him, injuring
one of his limbs. He was brought
to the Cooper Clinic and Hospital
to have it treated aixl dressed.
Little did members of the Cooper
Chamber of Commerce think a
quarter of a century ago when
they met and after much discus-
sion determined on setting apart a
“Trades Day” in Cooper that it
would be a day recognized for
many years to ootjie by people of
not onli r this trade area but from
far distances.
The writer attended that meet-
ing and If we remember oorerotly
Win White, Dr. W. O. Ellington
and C. L. Stevens attended along
with others who have either mov-
ed away from Cooper or passed off
the stage of action. The third
Monday in the month was adopted
as trades day and! It was planned
to offer special inducements on
these days for people to come to
Cooper to trade, and in coming to
Copper on that day with their live
stock and wares swapping or ex-
changing might be one to advan-
tage of many people
After a time secretaries came and
went and the day was forgotten
by those who sponsored the day,
but many patrons of Cooper and
especially horse traders have never
forgotten the day. The monthly
event passes out of the writer's
mind but is constantly brought
back as we drive out on the road
Sundays preceding the third Mon-
day and meet horse traders com-
ing to Cooper from all directions
with animals for trade.
Monday was no exception. There
ed as well as bur.’.
Trades day is to be observed by
the Chamber cf Commence as ori-
ginally intended, stated Secretary
Rube S WeCls Monday. He says
he has arranged with Enloe Oar-
roll to auction off farmers’ (prod-
ucts free cf charge and to assist
them any other way the Chamber
of Commerce can to s*\ and buy
to the best advantage on this day.
