SUPERVISION RECOMMENDED


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Industrial
Commission, after several years spent in
investigating the industrial condition of the

mendations calculated to assist in the So
luton of the problems of the time, has

sidered in the course of the inquiry are dis
cussed under separate headings, and rec

ly the lines of recommendations laid down
by the President in his annual message.

port is that the books of all corpora tions

departure from present methods There

Bankers Appeal to Yerkes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa delegation of
New York and Chicago bankers to-day had
a conference with Commissioner Yerkes, of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, and re-
quested him to suspend the operation of his
ruling to the effect that undivided bank
profits shall be taxed the same as other
bank surplus. 1t was reported that the
questions involved were now before the
court for determination and that ii was
only fair that no further collections of this
character should be made until the court
had rendered its decision.
In the course of the conference Mr..
Yerkes cited a number of cases where
banks, presumably with a view TO avoid
ing the tax, had taken large sums from
their surplus and transferred them to the
account of undivided profits The bankers
present expressed their strong disapproval
of such a proceeding and were of opinion
that such cases could and should be prose-
cuted. However, they only asked delay in
the execution of the ruling until the law
questions involved could be judicially de-
termined, and said in the meantime they
were quite willing to make their returns to
the internal revenue law as at present re-

take the matter under advisement.
