London Stock Market London, Sept.
26.-The feature of to-day's generally
quiet stock market was the strength OF
first class stocks, supplies Of which
were scarce, and prices advanced
sharply on the execution of a number
of buying orders. Shipping shares were
active and firm, but most of the re-
Gently active industrial and rubber
stocks yielded under realizing and a
general decline occurred. American
securities were dull throughout.
Money was in moderate demand and
it was easily supplied. Discount rates
were quiet. Money, Az per cent; dis

Special strength in the railroad
issues was treated by many COM
mentators in a cynical manner, cor
responding as it did to their notion
of how they would manipulate" a
stock market if they had control of
it. They would bid up the indus
trials under the leadership of Steel
common until the decencies began to
be offended, and then they would
take hold of the railroad issues and
run them up. while selling Steel COM
mon. Competent critics who partici-
pate in the present stock market
agree, however, that never was there
relatively so little manipulation. The
speculation is largely Of spontaneous
origin. 1t builds upon its own re-
sources. Spectators take profits in
one group of stocks and then, un-
willing to get into them again at the
same prices, they seek about for
other things that have gone up less,
and hit upon railroads, perhaps, or
coppers. What shall they do with
their profits? Money is the thing
that falls. Everything else goes up.
The bond market is rather thin.
More than a quarter of the transac-
tons are in the war loans Of foreign
countries. The investment demand
for corporation bonds is moderate.
Instances are frequent Of holders Of
bonds converting them into stocks,
because stocks can rise.

forward n tenaif OF appropriations by
Congress 70 build country roads. 10 aid
in r-ral education and other govern.
ment activities which have heretofore
been purely local Under prohibition
laws many states and communities cut
OF revenue from the sale OF l!auorn

Dry States Are stircy.
There are 10 states which are now
under prohibition law; they have 80.
uUo9lj population and $4,000, 600 900
OF wealth; they received larger per
capita appropriation from Congress
last year than did the licensed states,
but they paid less than $4,000 200 of
the SSlS,O000JJ which the Com.,is.
sioLer OF Internal Revenue collected In
the fiscal yea. ended June 30. 1916.
In other words these 10 prohibition
states, With nearly one-third OF the
population and one-tourth Of the total
wealth Of the United States, paid less
than one.teath OF the revenue for the
support OF the federal government.
The. other 7o,0l0,00) people In 20
states which do not have prohibition,
paid SiG5Oo0,OOO, or nine.tenths OF the
total revenue 10 meet these extraor.
binary appropriations for the benef:
OF the prohibition states. The per
capita collections were sl.66 in pro.
hbition states and s6.62 in the non.
prohibition states. The tax on wealth
amounted To Sl.O9 on each $1,000 \
prohibition states and s3.os on each
$1,000 OF wealth in non-prohibition
states.
The new taxes now imposed by Con-
gres5 are paid in the same proportion.
The 10 prohibition states paid $4,000.
GOO OF the sSi,QO0,000 emergency re.
venue raised by stamp taxes, taxes on
business and amusements. That tax
amounted to 81 cents nor capita or
II cents on each 81 900 OF wealth In
the prohibition states. Tie people in
the non-prohibition states paid sl.O9
per capita or tax OF 81 cents ON
each $1,000 OF wealth under the head
Of emergency revenue. That was four
times the tax rate levies on the uer.
sons and wealth in the non. prohibition
states over the rate paid IN the pro.
hibtion states. =
The prohibition states paid e3 600.
OOO OF the S6S,OOoOJO collected under
the head of income tax. That was 10
cents per capita, or cents ON each
$1,000 OF wealth, The 70,00O.OOO peo-
pie in the 29 non.prohihit!on states
paid St5'oOO,o0O income tax, which was
% cents per capita or AZ cents on
oach $1,000 OF wealth. The per capita
rate In the prohibition states was
nine times and the tax on wealth Ave
times that in the prohibition states.

1t has been the claim Of those who
advocated the corporation tax, the in,
come tax, and the Inheritance tax and
the stamp taxes, that they would
equa,!ze the taxation among the peo,
pie and in different sections OF the
country; but the report OF the Com.
missioner OF Internal Revenue for tho
last fiscal year shows that this theory
was in error. These taxes have fallen
upon the industrial states and cities.
and the rural districts have paid buI
insignificant taxes 10 the Federal gov.
ernment under these new laws. More
than that, the new and unusual appro-
priations made by this and the pre-.
ceding Congress have been largely for
the benefit of these rural communities,
for introducing Federal activities for
purposes that have in the past been
conducted by the States, or BY the
people themselves. Many millions
have been appropriated for the i'm.
proyement OF rivers that never had
any commerce. for public buildings ia
country villages. for the education OF
farmers, Cor the drainage OF swamp
lands, for the prevention OF floods. for
building country roads, for the eradl.
cation of farm pests, for rural santa.
tion and for many other things which
in the older sections of the country
were done by the people them selves
and without government aid. .
