Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Notable strength in
the corn market resulted today largely
from widespread rains. which threatened
further serious hindrance to the crop
movement Prices, although unsettled at
the finish. were 1A@5Ac net higher
With January, s1.ssh@1.3s%. and May,
s136A9136R. Oats closed 4 @ nc up,
and provisions at an advance of 400 soc.
Upward swings began in the corn
market right at the opening, and there
was no important reaction until just be-
fore the close Profit-taking by longs
appeared to be wholly responsible for the
late setback. Throughout the rest OF the
day attention focused most of the time
on the fact that country roads were be-
coming impossible owing to wet weather
and continued mild temperatures and
that receipts. therefore promised to re-
main small. Other bullish factors were
the removal Of milling restrictions, Hoo
ver's plan to use German ships to carry
food to Europe. and the refusal OF IL
censes to import corn from Argentina
to the United States.
Oats sympathized with the strength OF
corn. Shipping demand, however, was
slow and export bids were under a work
ing basis.
Provisions were lifted chiefly by the
bulge In grain. 1t was said that on the
advance packers bought ribs.

STOCK DIVIDENDS MUST Be TAXED.
Treasury Department,
Office of Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue,


Office of Commissioner of
Internal Revenue,
Washington, Jan. 10.
To Collectors of Internal Revenue,
and Internal Revenue Agents:
Please note carefully the state
ment below with reference to the ef
foot of the decision of the Supreme
Court of Jan. I, 1918, in the case
Of Towns vs. Eisner and see that. it
is given general publicity.
DANIEL c. ROPER, Com'r.
Misrepresentation exists as to the
effect of the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Towns VS.. Els
ner, handed down January I, 1918.
In this opinion it was held that
under the Act of October 3, 1913,
a stock dividend declared by a cor
poratiOn January 2, 1914, was not
properly regarded as income. 1t does
not necessarily follow, however, that
no stock dividends are to be held
taxable under the provisions of the
Acts of September 8, 1916, and De-
tober 3, 1917.
The Act of October 3, 1913, which
was the only Act before the Court
in the case, constituted no provision
expressly providing for treating stock
dividends as income, and the de-
cision of the Court was to the effect
that the Act was not to be construed
az taxing such dividends. The Court
did not decide that such dividends
cannot be income within the mean
ing of the Sixteenth Amendment,
but expressly recognized that the
word income" may have a different
meaning in the Statute from the
meaning of the Constitution.
The Act Of September s, 1916,
contains al express provision taxing
stock dividends declared and paid
out of earning accrued since March
!, 1918. In the absence of a de-
cision as to the legal effect of these
express provisions contained in the
later Acts, the Bureau of Internal
Revenue naturally will continue to
be governed by the express pro-
visions OF the later Acts in reference
to stock dividends.

LETTER FROM STATE suPT. HARRIS
State of Louisiana,
Department of Education,
Baton Rouge


January 8, 1918.
Dear Superintendent:
The United States Food Admins
tration requests that pupils in the
English classes Of the public schools
be required to write essays on the
subject of the conservation of sugar.
The writers of such essays should
attempt to prove that sugar can be
saved by (a) using substitutes for
sugar and (b) avoiding wasteful
habits in the use of sugar, and that
it is necessary to ship large quaint
ties of sugar to Europe for the use of
our soldiers and our Allies. 1t is
suggested that the best of these es-
says be sent to Prof. Hy NJ. Gill.
Librarian, New Orleans, La.
The Food Administration also re-
quests that the students in the Art
classes be required to draw posters
or cartoons illustrating economy in
the use of sugar, and that the best
of such drawings be forwarded to
Prof. Gill to be exhibited at the
public library in New Orleans.
The last three or four numbers of
the Literary Digest have carried
articles written by the Food Admin
istration on the subject above re-
ferred to. These articles probably
furnish all the information that the
pupils will require for their essays
and drawings.
Trusting that you will bring these
requests of the Food Administration
to the attention of your teachers
Except the high school principals,
TO whom | am sending this circular).
Yours sincerely,
Il. III. HARRIS, Supt.
