Asks End of Excess
Profits Tax in 1918
George w. Hodges Asserts
justification for Burdensome
Levy Has Ceased

George w. Hodges, of Remck,
Hodges & Co., governor of the In
vestment Bankers Association of
America, in statement yesterday ex-
pressed opposition to The continuance
of any profits tax beyond the war ex-
cept as to the war profits actually re-
allied in 1919. He asked that the ex-
cess profits tax be eliminated after
1918.
"If reports from Washington" Mr..
Hodges said, "are correct anG the new
revenue bill as completed by the Sen
ate committee contains q continuing ex-
cess profits tax at the rate Of 20 per
centum OF the net income in excess Of
20 per centum of invested capital its
action is directly contrary to the rec
ommendation Of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and should command tho
prompt and careful consideration of the
public. The Treasury recommended
the continuance of the 1917 excess
profits rates for 1918, with some ar
rangement for the taxation of war
profits realized in 1919 on contracts
entered into for war purposes under
war conditions.
"The committee is not only perpetu-
ating the principle of an excess profits
tax, but is perpetuating it at rate
which very seriously affects the read
justment of business enterprise and the
introduction of new capital into neces-
sary industries. 1t cannot be possible
that the able Senators on this com.
mittec intend this provision to be final
"Any other policy naturally retards
investment in business enterprise and
tends to bring country to q condition
of stagnatiort. AS war measure, and
particularly to appropriate war profits
to war needs, this tax has justihca-
tion which disappears with the condi-
ton of war"

New Studebaker
Financing Coming
President Forecasts Return to
Large Peace Production
Earlv in 1910

A.. R. Erskine, president of the
Studebaker Corporation, in a state
ment issued in New York yesterday
after meeting of directors admitted
the truth of recent reports that new
financing plans are under considera-
ton, but denied that there is any in
tention OF offering an issue of preferred
stock, and added:
1T is true that our directors have
had under consideration some plans
with regard 20 additional financing for
the company There is no intention of
making any offer of preferred stock.
The great increase in the company's
business prior to the war led to the
forming or plans to construct an ad
ditional modern new automobile plant
and thereby increase our capacity.
During the war it has been impossible
in connection with war orders to make
such progress in the construction of
these additional plant facilities and the
directors have had under consideration
the possibility of completing these
plants at an early date. 1t is not nos
slble to state as yet what conclusio
IN this connection will be reached.

The Railroad Dilemma

Although the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad petitioned the
Railroad Administration to have its
Federal contract signed more than
month ago, It has not yet been notified
as to what its earnings guarantee will
be. The case of the New Haven is not
an isolated one by any means, as only
three out cf nearly 200 roads have
signed up with the government. This
is said to be one of the many disturb
ing factors which makes railroad Of
ficials hesitate about urging an early
return of their properties to private
control. Even the contracts already
signed, it is believed will have to go
back for revision as result Of the
protest against the governments
method of charging off depreciation of
property and equipment. 1t is under
stood that no more contracts will be
signed until this question has been
settled.

Inspirations Control

Although official information is with
held, Wall Street believes that the
election of c. F. Kelley to the presi-
dency of the Inspiration Consolidated
Copper Company means that the Ana
conda property. of which Mr. Kelley
has been the head during the absence
OF John D. Ryan in Washington, has Sc
cured control of Inspiration 1t is
believed that this has been accom-
plished through the acquisition of the
holdings of Color el William B. Thomp-
son, who on Friday resigned as presi-
dent of the Inspiration Company.

PennsyIvania's Stockholders

On November 1 there were 105,63O
shareholders on the books of the Penn

$685. over the sponding date
year ago and the largest number ever
reported The average holding was
94.53 shares, decrease of s.42 shares,
and natural resultant of the wider
distribution. The number of women
stockholders at the beginning Of
November was 52,077, an increase of
$3.50 and 1870 per cent of the total.
Their average holdings were Sc shares,
a falling off of 3 shares. Pennsyl-
vanians held 1874 per cent OF the total
mtock, while residents of New York
State held 34.15 per cent. The aver
age number of shares owned by the
latter was 1871, an increase of o.
Foreign holders held but 1.91 per cent
of the stock, while their number was
1.761. The average foreign holding
was 108 shares, a decrease of six

Expansion Planned
Stock Exchange Purposes to
Prevent Over-Certifcations
Through New Machinery

Arrangements are nearing completion
for an enlargement Of the Clearing
House Association of the Stock Ex-
change. One Of the primary reasons
for the proposed expansion, it was an.
nounced yesterday is to prevent over
certifications.
Tentative plans call for the forma-
tion of g new association to act in
conjunction with the present organiza-
ton. 1t is understood that the new
association will be Incorporated and
through it settlement of balances Will
be made with the central body, thus
doing away with a considerable amount
of deliveries ard other matters, reauir-
ing the services of large clerical
force
A special committee representing
some of the most important Stock Ex-
change houses has been working on
the plans FOR facilitating the work of
the Clearing House for several weeks
When the final arrangements are com
pleted it is expected that the settling
OF daily Stock Exchange balances will
be greatly e,~edited.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Unusually quiet conditions prevailed
during the week in the foreign ex-
change market and rate changes were
small as result and relatively unin-
portant. Dealings in cable transfers
continued much restricted owing to the
congestion of the lines of cable COM
munication. Sterling bills moved mar
rowly and displayed practically no re-
sponse to the news. The same was
true of French and Italian exchanges.
In the market for neutral exchanges
Ia slightly firmer tendency was noted
toward the close of the week, with
Swiss francs making substantial re-
covery.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at par
value-that is, if you were buying dol
lars with pounds, marks or francs-its
value at the close of last week. as COM
pared with year ago, would be about

enormous burdens" of war taxa
ton. The latest is from Washing-
ton. About Germany. German taxes
for her debt will weigh down Ger
man industry and bankrupt the ma
ton. Selah Practically all of Ger
many's huge issue of war bonds is
held in Germany. The interest on
these bonds will be paid from. one
pocket into another pocket. Posi-
bly, into the same pocket. AS
whole, the nation neither gains nor
loses. What it has lost through the
war is the wear and tear of it's
machinery, the deterioration of its
soil, the diminishment Of it's indus
trial army. Some of this may be
counter balanced by gain in
morale, in energy, in the discipline
of four hard gruelling years. 1t is
Germany's ability to produce goods
and services which alone can be i'm
paired, always supposing, of course,
that taxation is laid with reason
able intelligence. 1t has never
before borne heavily on Ger
man industry. What Social
istic government might do is an
other story. But the "crushing bur
dens' we hear about exist only in
the mists of imaginative writer's
minds. The only real burden is the
expense Of collecting the taxes.
That is practically the same for
three billions as for one.
One wearied soul writes US with
troubled mind about the problems
of reconstruction. He has been
reading about the endless list of re-
construction commissions, commit
tees, programmes and policies. But
what, he plaintively asks, is there
really to reconstruct? In this coun-
try, nothing. We have had no de-
struction from war. In Great Brit
ain, very little save ships. Ships are
a large item. But the reparation of
the terrific hole made by the sub
marine and by the excessive losses
of war time is already rapidly un-
der way. In France? Well, there is
a good deal there. But, apparently,
about one-tenth as much as some
imaginative minds have pictured.
In Belgium, much. But it is small
population and small state. In
Germany? There is the run down
condition of the railways and fac
tories and fields. But unless we
are in the business of imposing
stupendous indemnities upon Ger
many, and wish to put that country
in a condition to pay rapidly, we
are not greatly interested there.
Where else? Our correspondent asks,
are all these busy reconstructors
intent upon real problems or upon
eotoriety or jobs?
