WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-People who
enjoy clipping coupons from bonds may
escape the searching scrutiny of the
income tax collector. but the Govern
ment will not lose, as provision has been
made to check up such accounts at the
source of income
The Internal Revenue Commissioner
to-da ysaid the debtor corporation, or
its duly authorized Withholding agent.
will be held responsible for the normal
tax due on the coupons.
AS far as the income tax law is con-
cerned, the Government will not differ
entiate between bonds which guarantee
the tax assessed against them and those
which do not.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE wind veered

confidence, however. to stop the de-
cline for the first hour and while there
was very little in the way of price
movement the tone was good The
lowest price quoted for May was 1199,
just after the opening.
Some private cables claim that the
confused condition of the Liverpool mar

cumulatlon in manufactured goods in
Engilsh spinning centers, and others
claim that the long interest in March

Senate Orders Further
New Haven Road Probe
Senators Cite $30O0,OOO Flotation of Frisco
Bonds in Passing Norris Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Nor
ris resolution calling for an investi-
cation of the New Haven system was
adopted by the Senate to-day after
it was made clear that Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds would not proceed
on his own initiative. The resolution
demands an answer to these ques-
tionS:
First, what became of the funds Of
said company invested in the various
enterprises and corporations mention
ed in the opinion of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, entitled The
New England investigation in the
matter of rates classifications, regu-
lations and practices of carriers" de-
cided June 20, 1918.
Second, whether the person or per-
sons authorizing such investment of
the funds of said company and the
person or persons receiving the bene
fit thereof are liable to punishment
under existing laws.
Third, whether under existing laws
such funds so invested can be recov-
cred on behalf of the stockholders of
said company.
Fourth, what legislation, if any. is
necessary TO prevent the recurrence
Of similar transactions.
Senator Newlands said he had talk
ed with ATTORNEY General McReynolds
who said the offenses came under State
law and could only be prosecuted in
the State courts.
Owing to the inertia of local au-
thorities," said Senator Newlands,
the Federal Government sometimes
has extended its powers, but in this
matter 1t is felt that the local au-
thortties will act"
1T is of interest to know" said
Senator Oliver that Speyer Bros, of
London, are the fiscal agents Of the
Navy Department. The people of
France who bought these securities

Dental relation to the Government
Senator Kenyon called attention to
a circular letter issued by Speyer &
Co. explaining their connection with
the fiotation of Frisco securities.
Senator. Kenyon said the letter Eek
planned but did not excuse" A hot
attack upon those responsible for
placing Frisco securities abroad, es-
pecially in France when the road was
on the verge of bankruptcy, was made
by Senator Lodge.
The result Of that was to give q
worse blow to merican securities than
we have ever received before" said
Mr.. Lodge. 1T should be known
what methods were employed in
placing this loan, which injured the
good name of the United States and
American securities abroad"
Senator Lodges remarks had spe-
cial reference to the sale of $4,000, 900
of Frisco bonds by Speyer 81 Co. in
Paris within three months of the re-
Ownership of the Frisco Railroad.
Attacks Tindnciers.
These great financier plungers
were not only robbing stockholders,
but American credit abroad" COM
mented Senator Kenyon.
He stated that railroads are circu-
lating literature in New England
against Government ownership, and
inquired what the sturdy New Eng
land character" would think of this
campaign, in view of the revelations
regarding New Haven Arrangements.
This sturdy New England charac-
ter will wonder" said Senator Ken
yon, why Congress sits around with

Inheritance Tax to

DENVER, Feb. THE Colorado in

Mr.. Hubbards report shows that
100000 has been collected and that
there is 100000 uncontested to be col
lected next year. Many OF the returns
are to be contested by his department
on the ground that they are too low
and therefore the total may reach
$3.50 900.

T09ACcO STEMS AND
STALKS AHE VALUABLE
FERTILIZERS.

Should the demand of Europe for
American tobacco stems cease,
these stems, which contain large
quantities Of plant food, especially
potash, may be used to good nj
vantage by the American grower of
tobacco as fertilizer. Soil fortified
by these stems, secured from the
cigar and tobacco factories and
stemmeries, will produce leaf
tobacco of letter burning qualities
and texture.
Tobacco stems as fertilizer should
be applied in smaller quantities
than manure, because they contain
larger quantities of the constituents
which feed the plant. according to
the Departments tobacco special
lists. Two tons per acre of seed
stems" (stems from cigar factories)
or l-2 tons of Kentucky stems"
(stems from the tobacco factories
and stemmeries) are known to give
good results in New England and,
SO far as available, these stems will
undoubtedly furnish a very salts
factory source of potash, as well as
other plant foods, in other tobacco
sections.
Considerable quantities of tobac-
co stems have long been exported to
Germany and other parts of Europe
where they are often used in the
manufacture of lOw-grade smoking
tobacco and as a source of nicotine.
Tobacco stalks which are not re-
moved from the farm under pre-
vailing methods, are not always
used to the best advantage as q fer
tilizer. Like the stems, they con-
tain considerable quantities of val
liable plant food Though not SO
much) and may be used freely as a
fertilizer for tobacco and other
crops. They may be proftably
used to improve the hay lot by
simply spreading the stalks over
the land in the fall or they may be
plowed under at the same season for
cultivated crops, such as cotton,
corn, tobacco, etc. The practice
Of piling tobacco stalks in heaps
and leaving them exposed to the
weather means a waste of valuable
material that might be returned to
soil. The practice of burning them
is also wasteful unless they are in
fected by such a serious disease as
the Granville wilt.
