with definite and thoroughly solid
foundation of added value in each

euualled, we believe, by that Of any
other industrial security at sim
liar stage.
That this added value was always
present Is fully proven by the fact
that, at each quotation the public
bought an increased amount Of this

Daily Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, June 2J.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Such news developments as there
were over night and in the course of
the day which could be construed as
of marketwise influence, tended little
to aid the bear position and the re-
suit was rather lazy short cover
ing movement through a good part
of the session.
This impaired a firm tone to the
general list. Trading was more sub
dued than for a fortnight or more
past, stocks were not readily offered
and in consequence, price fluctua-
lions bore but scant significance out
side the circle of professional oper-
ators.
The entire list today held substan-
TALLY above yesterdays close. Steels
and some of the coppers gained one to
two points The munitions and equip
ment shares still under the leadership
Of Crucible Steel, made good gains.

Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.
FURNISHED by Long Commission Co..
4O3 Main St. Telephone No 350-351. j
CHICAGO, June 21.-Closing grain
review-As a nation, we have been
blessed with freedom probably I'M
equalled in the history Of the world
This very freedom Of a pure democ-
racy has made us blase, Independent
and, to degree, intolerant, which at
titude finds expression most frequent
ly in criticizing those In authority. We
question the acts Of our governing
bodies relentlessly and doubtless in
normal times the effect of such critf-
cfsm Is wholesome in its effect. Now,
however, we are confronted by crisis
greater in moment than any in our his
tory, except those of 1776 and 1861.
1t is no time for playing politics or
holding aloof. Let us get behind the
government so zealously, as to leave
no question of our earnestness and
loyalty, in order that our leaders may
be encouraged and our enemies dis
couraged Patriotism dwells in every
heart, great and good men are giving
their efforts gratis to conserve and
distribute properly our resources.
There is much that we in the grain
trade can do, not the least Of which is
to desist from useless carping criti-
cism.

REVENUE BILL
BEING FRAMED
individuals as Well as Corporations
Are to be Included In tho
Tax on Excess
Profits,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Indi-
viduals as well as corporations will
be included in the tax on excess
profits under the revenue bill, now
being drawn by the senate finance
committee.
About $10O.O00.OOO is expected
from this new source.
With this question disposed of, the
committee today settled another con-
troversy problem when 1T fixed the
rate of exemption under excess profits
levy for corporations that could profit
on q sub-normal "pre-war income"
The rate fixed was six per cent on the
capital stock in addition to $4,000 ex-
emption allowed all corporations I'M
der the section.
Booze, bloated incomes and big war
profits should pay Americas way in
the war, Senator LaFollette believes.
He has started fight in the senate f.
nance committee to boost taxes on all
these three sources Of revenue and
will carry his contention to the SEN
ate floor.
La F'ollette's plan is to have war
profits carry the bulk OF the tax load.
He would levy thirty-two per cent
against them and figures $1,120,000,-
900 could be realized by this stroke.
His income tax would net $500,000,-
600 and internal revenue $209,00O,-
600. He would eliminate all taxes on
soft drinks, thereby cutting $12,000,-
600 from the total.

cations, discipline and maintenance
of internal peace"
Whether the ministry falls or not
is inconseQuential," Premier Boselli
continued.
What really matters is victory.
Concern throughout is indespen-
sible to this end especially in the
present world crisis when Russia is
in the throes of revolutionary and
neutralist plots.
Hidden snares cannot shake
Italy's firm faith in the justice of her
cause or her assurance of victory
Foreign Minister Sonnino gave as
Italy's peace aims:
Restoration of Belgium, Serbia and
Montenegro. @
Full security assured on the
Italian frontiers.
,yThe independence Of Poland All
other previous announced allied aims.
He announced Italy recommended in
dependence of Albania in conformity
with the principal enunciated by the
United States.
