Stock Exchange Favors
Members in Army

With view to protecting the inter
ests Of members who are now engaged
in serving the country either in the
army or navy. the governing committee
of the Stock Exchange yesterday voted
to amend the constitution so that the
rate for dealing for those members
shall be cut from 50 to 81 for each
one hundred shares. There are now
about twenty-five members Of the eX-
change who are either going to Platts-
burg, are already in the National Guard
or are in France.
Partners of absent members, under
a second amendment, will be granted
the privileges of the floor of the ex-
change. This action is regarded by
Wall Street as a very radical rule, as
only floor members heretofore have
been permitted TO transact business on
the floor of the exchange.
The amendments passed upon by the
governing committee are effective until
the termination Of the war.

The report Of untitled tonnage on
the books of the United States Steel
Corporation, showing an increase for
the month Of All ,439 tons to 12,183,-
O83 tons on April so, new high
record, is considered favorable, es-
pecially in view Of the fact that the
price for steel is mounting steadily.
This week the average price of eight
leading steel products was $94.57 per
gross ton, an increase of $1.53 over
the preceding week and of $4.38 in
the last fortnight. In considering
the statement, it should also be re-
called that transportation conditions
improved considerably during the
month, and that mill operations were
reported to be almost at capacity for
a good share Of the period. A part
Of the increase in untitled steel ton
mage, however, no doubt consisted of
orders taken for the government at
prices much below those prevailing
in the open market. 1t would be in
teresting to know whether shipments
kept pace with orders during April,
but, unfortunately. the Steel Cor
poration does not publish figures to
show that. AS it is, the statement is
one-sided and often misleading.

Banks NotU Paying for
United States Certificates

Local banks yesterday began paying
into the Federal Reserve Bank Of New
York the amount due on their subscrlp-
ton to the last offering of 5000, 100000
of per cent United States Treasury
certificates of indebtedness. 1t was
stated that the operation would not
unduly tax the money market, ewing to
the fact that the Federal Reserve Bank
Oh receipt of the funds is returning
them to the banks in the form OF de-
posts.
Benjamin Strong, jr., governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank. said yesterday
that the United States Treasury was
cooperating with the local banks TO
keep money liquid and rates easy de-
spite the huge government operations.
He called attention TO the ease of the
local money market despite the heavy
financial operations now under way.
Transfers of funds are being carried
on largely as a bookkeeping operation
according TO Governor Strong, instead
Of by the actual handling of cash. As
a result the great shifting Of funds TO
the Federal Reserve Bank has not been
accompanied by marked disturbance to
money rates.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-11

An official Of the Treasury Depart
ment, discussing Mr.. Snyder's esti-
mate with the writer not long ago,
said he believed that perhaps as
many as IS per cent of those with
taxable incomes escaped the tax, and
possibly even more than that. To
dodge taxation under present condi-
tions will put a much heavier strain
on the conscience. Nevertheless, it
is probable that considerable num-
Der will endeavor to avoid payment
if they can, and as the exemption
limit is lowered it becomes easier to
do that. Every possible effort should
be made to round up the delinquents,
and the simplest way of insuring eff
fective work in that direction is for
Congress to provide an adequate ap-
preparation for the collection Of the
tax. At present the officials con-
centrate their efforts on getting the
full tax from those with large in
comes, because that is the easiest
thing to do and the most profitable
way Of spending a limited appropria-
ton. AS a result, it is comparative
~ easy for those with small taxable
incomes to escape. The official re-
ferred to said he believed that sew
eral million dollars year more than
is now available could be spent
profitably in the collection of the in
come tax; and if that is true, as it
probably is, ample funds should GER
tainly be provided.

NWfoN " sNNf t'f @'+f
It will be surprising if, under the
stimulus Of patriotism, the number
Of income tax returns in the current
year does not increase materially,
not only through the additional re-
turns coming in under the lowering
Of the exemption list, but because
thousands Of others with incomes
which were taxable under the old
law who made no return may now
be expected TO contribute their share.
Perhaps the most striking thing
about the income tax has been the
relatively small number making re-
turns. 1t has been generally con-
coded that a large proportion OF
those with taxable incomes have es-
capped the tax, some through igno-
rance of what was required and
many more through dishonesty.
Carl Snyder. we'll known stats
tician, recently estimated that 10
per cent of those with incomes tax
able under the law paid no taxes,
and that the amount of income which
thus escaped taxation was probably
above five billion dollars. That is
claimed by some to be an over
estimate, though lacking detailed
statistics it cannot be disproved.
But even those who hold the opinion
that the number escaping the tax IS
much less than rs per cent frankly
admit that the percentage is very
large.

Merger Of Staten Island
Utilities Disapproved
InimicaI to Public Interest, Says
Commission

The Public Service Commission has
disapproved the proposed merger of the
Richmond Light & Railroad Company
and the Staten Island Midland Railway
Company and the issue OF certain Sc
curtIes as an incident thereto. The
action of the commission was based on
an opinion prepared by Commissioner
Charles S. Heryey. who held that the
merger plan included certain features
inimical to the public interest and con-
trary TO law and sound finance.
The two companies own and operate
all the street railways on Staten ISL
and. The Richmond Light and Rail..
road Company also has monopoly o.
the supply OF electricity on the island.
The opinion pointed out that the same
financial interests control all three
properties, which arc operated to all
intents and purposes as a single sys-
tenn, each company. however, MAINTAIN
ing separate bookkeeping accounts. The
consolidation of the two companies was
to be followed by the issue of $500
600 par value of per cent cumulative
preferred stock and 1921 900 par value
of common stock.

The recovery in stocks occasioned
no great surprise in the Street.
Lately stocks have had way of de-
clining one day and rallying the
next without special regard to news.
In fact, it has been impossible to
calculate the eventual effects of the
developments Of the last few days
on security prices. The speculative
element in Wall Street, however, has
taken the whole grist, made it into
a gloomy picture, and sold stocks one
day so as to buy back portion at
profit the next day. 1t was appar-
emily the latter half Of the transac-
tion that featured the days stock
market, most of the buying which
sent prices up sharply toward the
close Of the session consisting of
purchases by those who previously
had sold short. Profit taking Of that
sort was sufficiently vigorous to more
than offset the persistent liquidation
Of investment issues.
