All ! ’ rights of republlcatlon of special dis- piftchea herein are also reserved. that it i» only' ten mon ths since \the Congress convened in special session and heard the president’s recommenda tions, and that with „,one ..exception every request'for legislative action has been met.' Tho,'exception is,the re quest for the creation1 of a ; Depart- mcnt of Public Welfare, on \which ac tion is delayed pending a decision by Mr. Harding and his cabinet regarding the proposed plan of reorganizing tho executive agencies. Says a bulletin of the Committee: ' ; ‘‘In addition to carrying out the president’s requests for legislation the Congress .has enacted a great many laws which were demanded by public interests to\ facilitate the processes of reconstruction, and rehabilitation. Those who charge that Congress has been dilatory, that it has not been hard at work, that it has paid no attention to tho president’s recommendations speak either out of utter ignorance or: with a purpose to misrepresent wilful ly and deliberately. Tho balance sheet shows that no Congress in .history has ever enacted into law such a high per centage of presidential legislative recommendations ns tills Congress has in the short space t ten months. “The legislation cnacted at the re quest of the president, ping the other legislation, has all been constructive, and most of it has been of a momen tous character.” - BUT WHY BUY FAKE STOCKS? .Despite tho Ponzls and others who mve succeeded in peddling get-rlch- qrjick schemes to deluded investors, there continues to be no lack of people wllliDg to clinnce their hard-earned funds' on lly-by-nlght undertakings. The extent o£ transactions In which credulous buyers acquire worthless pieces'of paper lias become so great as to move the United States attorney general to advocate more stringent state laws against this form of swind ling. It hns been pointed out, over and over agn.„, that ample' opportunities •jcist for legitimate investment, .and that almojt any listed stock • of an industrial or railroad corporation offers reasonably safe assurance to the investpr or speculator that he will get back 100 cents on the dollar, In many cases with interest. Yet according to' Mr. Daugherty 480 cases involving stock swindling arc now pending in the federal courts, and in the course of T O ^ V ^ n S E R - r J O U R N A i:; * .WEDNESDAY,'FEBRUARY 15, 1922 4 DAYS, Starting Tomorrow at 2:30 P.

TJiesc cases embrace bucket shops, oil concerns, land companies and various other paper propositions for attracting tbe gullible and separating them from their money. It is in order again to emphasize that lliero Is no lack of gilt-edge securities, purchase of which is as practical, all things being cifual, as 'that of a house and lot; with govern ment bonds heading the list. Stock issues of scores of corporations, regu larly listed on the Stock Exchange, af ford opportunity for investment or speculation, or both. So far ns busi ness itself inny be said to be safe, these issues nre safe and sound. Yet on glowing promise of rlcli returns— ‘ purlous, of course,—many people will buy stock in mushroom corporations, organized for the very purpose of sell ing slock and with no definite program and no visible assets. Gambling In Wall Street compara tively Is a guaranteed business propo sition, beside the risking of funds on these wildcat stocks, which represent nothing and afford ihe dupe no pos sible chance of winning. Notwithstand ing that In the case of all these stocks to which Mr. Daugherty refers, involv ing swludles to a vast amount, pur chasers lind everything to lose and nothing to gain, and notwithstanding the vast array of experience and the many sad lessons from which all might profit, tho game of swindling the public through fake stock issues goes on apace. Aud a liberal portlou of the public still bites. also to the bill designed to. relieve streetcar companies from their share of, paving expense. A concerted effort seems to have been made lately to show that trolley companies are public bene factors, and that Inhabitants of cities should bo so grateful for service rend ered as to provide .highways free of all expense— or perhaps even give the transportation companies a bonus for operating. Of course this Is the extreme of trol ley enthusiasm. The pendulum swings from exccsslve imposltions on such cor porations, amounting in tome cases al most to persecution, to maudlin favor itis m T h e r e is a happy medium, at which trolley companies should pay for what they get and at the same time should be fairly treated. Undoubtedly, in normal times, the use of city streets by private transportation companies Is worth something—to the - companies. Since their cars kick up tbe dust, it follows with equal logic that they should help pay for sprinkling. And inasmuch ns they are constantly tear ing up pavement and as they pay rental in no other way, why shouldn't they pave between tracks and keep their part of the pavements in repair? JHE QFHCE £AT By Junim HEWITTS SERVICE TO THE STATE. Commendation of tlie legislative linance committees, of which Senator Hewitt Is a member, Is extended by New York City papers, regardless of party, following their successful labors in cutting state appropriations. More than nino millions 1ms'been cut from the annual appropriations; and while this does not represent any great amount of reduction in taxes—about 70 cents in each $100 for purposes of government,—It Is a very considerable saving and Indicates a good start. “The governor and the Flnaneo Committees of the Legislature arc entitled to great credit,\ says tho New York World They liavo shown, for the second lime, that the way in reduce taxation Is to cut down oxiHMKliturcs mid that it can be done simply I y doing It. The fact seems to have uumlncd undis covered, even unsuspected In Wash ington and In tho New \i-',: h city Hall.\ Senator Hewitt, who qualltlod for 'b<* task by years of training in pri- vat«* and public life, h ,i s l.eon l‘oremo>t in tl-e Albany mo\emcnt for retrench ment. rind by applying business methods to state affairs has shown •hat where the will to economize ex- the way may bo found. As head •t th» .senate Finance Committee the ' ayuga man occupies one of the most prominent positions at the state enpi- >al. Ills recognition and his achieve ment demonstrate once more the wis dom of sending to the Legislature for successive terms men of experience, instead of .shifting at each election In order to accommodate political aspi rants. “NUTS\ AT THE WHEEL.

PLUCKY DRIVER SAVES HIS TEAY First Ice Breaking Mishap at ' Owaaco Lake— Turney Plunges Into Water, Unhitches Horses There are few teamsters perhaps who would risk their lives to plunge into icy waters to save their team from drownlmr.

Lake Monday afternoon j The plucky driver with his team was ' scraping snow off of the ice prepara tory to the ice harvest when suddenly there was a cracking sound and the next moment the horses were struggl ing in the water. Turney saw that unless the horses were unhitched from the scraper that It would be only a few minutes before they gave up the struggle nnd went down to a watery grave. Turney did not hesitate but jumped into tho ice cold water and unfastened the teim from the scraper while the horses were struggling.
