Tax reduction will be one. It is
admitted that the big taxpayer has
gotten the long end of the stick in
the matter of tax reduction with the
present Congress..
. Then the Muse If Shrtals light will

Driving The Bucket Shop Out of Business
The stock, exchange wants to rid
the ccfuntry of security frauds. That
lis a step in the right direction. In
fact, the elimination of any fraud is
commendable. ■. ■ \ .. - .
Mr. Simmons, the president of the
New York Stock Exchange, is very
anxious to run the "bucketeers" out
of business. The bucket shop is a
competitor of the big exchange; and,
of course being smaller arte! a weaker
institution,, is less-able to stand a
crash", which frequently occurs and
gives the whole business a black eye
from bottom to top.
The stock exchange is primarily!
for the purpose of merchandising 1
stocks and securities for customers
on a legitimate commission. How
ever the stock exchange has gonej
much further; it is attempting to set i
the price on practically evrey prod-1
net under the sun.

' Spot cotton soi l the day at 20.50,
which was the only real market in
existence. The gambling spirit of
people attracts them to the futures
market, they believing the market
will change to their choice of bet

know nothing about. Naturally,
| there is a cause, or perhaps many
causes, why these, prices change; and

seats on the e> hange know better
than the little fellows scattered a

they generally break . the thousands
