PRINCE P0NIAT0WSKI OFFERS
PLAN TO SAVE THE RAILROADS
Paris Banker and Financier Would Have Government in
Partnership, Guaranteeing Issues of Railway Bonds
and Sharing in Profits of Operation

have Government ownership in a country
"here politics Is based on patronage. Your
industries and railroads would be Tam
mahyized. With Government ownership
you would have positions in the railroads
hiled by the politicians You would not
necessarily have three men holding one
mans Job -ut you would have incffl-
cheney in everything.
Harmony OF Interests.
at is easy for politicians to attack and
break down. Anybody can do that. What
the country needs for Its railroads is a
constructive programme As remedy
would suggest harmony of interests be-.
tween the Government and the railways
The Government; should go into partner
ship with the railroads
II believe in Government regulation
But at the present time the Government
only restricts the railroads without giving
them anything In return. In my opinion
the Government should enter into an ar
rangement with the railroads to limit
their stock dividend payments to private
holders. share profits above the limited
dividend and guarantee. railroad bonds.
The Government should limit the div
idends on stocks to per cent The day
OF 10 and l2 per cent. dividends and
melons has passed. Under the partner
ship agreement any earnings over per
cent. should be divided between the Gov
eminent and the railroads. the latter to
use these funds as a reserve.
Share in the Fronts.
The Government should continue to
regulate rates. establishing a minimum
and n maximum scale which could be
used to meet needs. In return for a share
in the profits the Government should
guarantee per cent interest on railroad
bonds. This would reestablsh the credit
of the roads and enable them to get funds
at low interest rates. With the cheap
rates and the guarantee OF the interest
the roads would be greatly strengthened.
I'm this arrangement the Government
in fixing rates would take care to see
that such rates were fair and equitable in
order to protect It's partnership. There
would be no starvation rates. The Gov
eminent would not lose anything under
such an arrangement. On the contrary. II
would make a great deal of money. The
Government under this plan would restrict
the railroads. but at the same time do
constructive work"

THE INCOME TAX RECOGNIZES

OF the Treasury Department In re-
gard 10 the administration of the in

Ttry As they interpret the opinion
Of the Treasury officials they un-
derstand that no timberlands shall
be- subject TO the tax until the tim
Der Is cut and marketed and that
then the profit only will be subject
TO an income tax assessment In
other words, all costs will be deduct
ed before the tax Is levied, and
these will cover the cost of grow
ing the timber, including the cost
OF planting where necessary and OF
protecting the growing crop from
fire and other depreciation.
This decision was based upon
request Tor lntofination made by 4.
S Ridsdale, secretary of the Ameri-
can forestry association He asked
II there would be tax on the value
OF the yearly growth OF timber
whether /, was cut or not. and also
whether an income tax would be as
aesed on the value of the timber
land In reply, the Treasury De
partment said that the gain from
the cutting and disposal OF stumpag
Is realized In the year during which
the timber Is cut and disposed of,
and that the amount received in ex-
cess Of the eost OF such timber is
