UnomciaI Tax Collectors.

Much has been made of the expense
to which the banks and trust companies
have been put by the income tax law
through the well known practice of the
Government to draft new law and leave
to the citizen the difficulty of putting Il
into effect. But probably few outsiders
-frliV have clear idea of tn" trouble"
that has had to be gone through The
story of trust company clerk of low
degree who was laid off indefinitely last
summer receiving request last Dcceni-
her TO please come back and help in "A
department organized to deal with the
pcrplexities Of the new law at something
like three times his former salary is
probably not so very much exaggerated. 1t
il not surprising that the question has
been raised. partly seriously. as TO
whether or not the banks and trust COM
panes acting in the capacity OF collec-
ton agents are not entitled To comp"nSa-
tlon for their services from the Govern
,nent Collection by the banks ana trust
companies. however, Is not really collec-
ton at the source. II the banks have
any recourse at all In the matter 1t would
be TO the corporations involved and nor
to the Government directly at least. The
corporatious might turn over the bill tn
the Government and find out whether
they could not have their tax reduced
by their expenses in collecting II.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


There was the usual batch of "explana-
tons" for the reactionary tendencies
OF the stock market yesterday. Most OF
these explanations had a Washington con-
nection. Judging from the gossip of
New Street, an idea prevailed that the
way things have gone there during the
past two days did not quite Justify the
recent market enthusiasm over Mr.. Will
sons peace constitution" 1t was
said that the New Haven negotiations
were not proceeding as smoothly as they
might Similarly a decline In Ameri-
can Sugar was construed as represent
ing unexpected difficulties in meeting the
demands of the Department of Justice.
Again some one referred to the hear
ings ut Philadelphia in the Government
suit To dissolve the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company as a combination
In restraint Of trade. While there
might have been no justification ii is
perhaps safe to say that IT has been the
impression with the majority of the rtnl,
and file in the financial district that the
recent compromise between the Bell COM
pany and the Department OF Justice
whereby the former agreed to rclinqush
its control of Western Union, meant that
the telephone company had passed muster
once and for all.
