Federal Control of All Bond Issues.

If the Washington authorities carry
through their proposal to require federal
licenses for all bond issues made by pri-
vate corporations, in order that the bor-
rowing power of the national govern
ment may not be impaired during the
war, they might well consider the expe-
diency of placing some such damper on
| the issue of bonds by the states and
municipalities There would be some con-
stitutional difficulties in the path of such
action, if made mandatory, but ii is, new
ertheless, clear duty Of the federal au-
thorities to discourage in every way prac-
ticable the existing tendency of both
states and cities to 90 ahead with their
customary annual borrowing as though
these were perfectly normal times.
The present legislature of Massachu-
setts, for example, has the usual crop of
expensive projects before it for consider
alton. The war has to no appreciate de-
gree diminished their number or prodigal-
ity. If even a small proportion of these
measures should be adopted, we must is
sue state bonds to the extent of several
millions, The city council of Boston,
likewise, is dickering with proposals for
various public improvements, such as a
sherif's residence, which would inevita-
bly, entail the passage of loan. orders.
And so it is with counties, cities and
towns throughout the commonwealth.
Why should we require mercantile and
corporations, public serv-
ice companies, and all other private BUSH
ness concerns to have the urgency of
their financial need. approved by some-
body at Washington, while all forms of
public borrowing are permit
led to be undertaken at will, without re-
gard to national necessities? There is no
good reason for any such discrimination.
f the nations financial requirements are
untitled to priority over one class of sub
'rdinate bond issues, as they undoubted-
y are, the brakes should be applied all
llong the line.-Boston Herald.

TAKING STOCK DIVIDENDS.
They Are Taxable When Accrued Since
March 1, 1918.

Portsmouth. n. H.. Jan. l6.-Misap.
prehension exists as to the effect of the
decision of the United States supreme
handed down Jan. Z, 1918. In this opinion
it was held that under the act of Oct
3, 1918, stock dividend declared by
corporation Jan. 2, 1914, was not prop
erly 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 Sept.
s, 1916, and Oct. 3, 1917.
The act of Oct. 3, 1913, which was the
only act before the court in the case,
no provision expressly pro-
viding for treating stock dividends as in
come, and the decision of the court was
to the effect that the act was not to be
as taxing such dividends The
court did not decide that such dividends
cannot be income within the meaning of
the sixteenth amendment, but expressly
recognized that the word "income" may
have a different meaning in the statute
from the meaning in the constitution.
The act of Sept. 8, 1915, contains an
express provision taxing stock dividends
declared and paid out of earnings accrued
since March L, 1913. In the absence of
a decision as to the legal effect of these
express provisions contained in the later
acts, the bureau of internal revenue nat
lrally will continue to be governed by
the express provisions of the latter acts

GRAZING PRIVILEGES
MUST NOT BE SOLD
Secretary of Agriculture Notifies All
Holders of National Forest
Rights.

The secretary of agriculture is mott
flying all holders of permits for grazing
livestock ON the national forests that
the payment of any bonus or allowance
for waiver of the grazing privilege in
connection with sales of livestock or
ranch properties will be cause for revo-
cation of the permit.
This is in accordance with one of the
regulations governing the use of the ma
tional forests for grazing privileges,
which provides that permits will be
granted only for the exclusive use and
benefit of the owners of the stock and
will be forfeited if sold or transferred
in any manner or for any consideration.
TO protect permittees who may wish to
dispose of their property against the
losses which sacrifice sales would involve,
it has been customary to'allow continued
use of the national forest ranges by the
new owner Without some provision for
this, the forest service grazing officials
point out, holders of permits who wish
to go out of business would not be able
TO obtain fair value for their property.
But the procedure has aimed throughout
at such a safeguarding of the situation
as would prevent the acquisition of any
thing approaching vested rights in the
public property by private individuals
or companies.
Owing to the great and ever growing
demand for use of the forest ranges,
which is now in most regions far beyond
their capacity, the grazing privilege is
of large value Upon the national for /
ests the government applies a system of
regulated use designed to encourage pro-
duction, promote the upbuildng of the
country along healthy lines, and secure /
the greatest good to the greatest number,
but makes only moderate charge for
the grazing permits.
In the view of those in charge of the
national forest grazing business, it would
be entirely unfair for the public to fore
70 maximum return for the value OF
use of its property and then allow those
granted the privilege of use to collect
mis- value from others, as the price of
their privileges. Such a
practice would they say, make competi-
i've disposal by the government of the
,razing the only logical course.
As Secretary Houston says in warn
ng the range users that the payment of
bonuses or the giving of any considera
ion to secure the filing of waiver of
he grazing privilege is prohibited, such
payment would be consideration for
privilege the granting of which is
Wholly within the discretion of the gov
rnment and for which no one is en-
titled to receive compensation" There
ore any such payment will be sufficient
ause for the revocation of permit or
orfeiture of all grazing preferences based
pom the purchase of permitted stock"

Do Not Make Trench Candles.

Trench candles, or ration heaters, car
not be sent to Europe. This decision Is
based on a cablegam from Major Muir
ply, reporting the results OF investi'
cation in France They are doubtless
useful in the trenches and can be made
to advantage by women and children in
Europe but not here, 1900 miles from
the front. The cargo space at the dispo-
sal of the Red Cross is so limited that
only absolutely essential supplies--sur-
gical dressings, food, warm clothing
can b. shipped.
Knowledge of this situation must be
given wide publicity, since magazines and

OF these articles. Supplies already ON
hand may be distributed by Red Cross
