Virginia Certificates Advance

An advance of two points in the Vir-
ginIa deferred per cent certificates
on the Stock Exchange Yesterday gave
rise to reports that settlement finally
had been reached in the old Virginia.
West Virginia debt controversy, which
dates from the time of the Civil War.
At the offices Of Brown Brothers &,
Co., trustees for the certificates, it
was stated that they were without in
formation concerning any change in
the legal aspects or prospective settle
ment of the case. Sales of the certifi-
Gates toe~lled nearly 100000.

The Utah copper mines and mills
have reduced the wages of their
employees from 26 to a 20-cent
copper basis. Five big mines in the
Butte district have announced a re-
tissction in wages of dollar a day.
Should copper miners decide to
strike the very blackness of the
present copper metal outlook puts
the producers in an economic posi-
tion to resist a strike indefinitely.
The estimated accumulated stocks
of, copper in this country, including
those held by the government, is
l,225, 100000 pounds. This is equal
to six months production at a war
time rate, and to a years proGuc-
ton at the pre-war rate. In 1918
copper production was 1926, 100000
pounds. A years normal produc-
tien roughly equals years con-
sumption. Much of the consump-
tion before the war was by foreign
countries. The war demand of
those foreign countries caused an
increase in copper output in this
country in 1915 and 1916, before
we entered the conflict, and produc-
tion was 100000 pounds for
the first year, and 1912, 100000
for the second. Those foreign
countries no longer need copper for
war. They themselves have large
stocks of accumulated copper for
peace. The opening of Germany
would create a large market for
american copper, but if that be
ruled out, it is obvious that the
producers could go on without pro-
ducing for many months.

The offering of the next govern
ment loan in two issues, one a tax
exempt offering at A per cent, and
the other a taxable issue at per
cent, the two figures which have
been suggested, would have several
advantages. The purpose of ex-
enlpting loan from taxation is to
attract the rich investor. He, in
effect, gets return which is much
higher than the nominal rate; and
a. A per cent tax-exempt bond, while
the present scale of income taxa
tion lasts, may mean as much net
income to him as 5 or 6 or 7 or
even higher percentage of return
would mean on a private taxable
security. And it is really the rich
investor upon whom the govern
ment must depend to float it's loans.
The number of people who buy
from $50 to $1,000 worth of bonds
are numerically impressive, but fl
nancially unimportant.

~ Yet to make a total issue tax-ex-
empt. as was done with the first
liberty Loan, is unfair to, the small
subscriber. The government makes
an issue tax-exempt in order to
float it at lower rate; and it in
effect, asks the small subscriber.
usually the man in moderate cir
eumstances, to accept less return on
HIS money in order that the large
or ultra-rich subscriber may enjoy
ii higher return or escape income
Taxation. Moreover, such loan
does nos become widely distributed.
1t is held by special class. It is
undemocratic. 1t tends to segregate
the bond-holders from the rest of
the community, leads to antago-
nism, and makes the issue less safe.
Splitting the issue in two parts, one
taxable and the other tax free, re-
moves the unfairness to the small
1bend subscriber, and secures a wide
distribution of the bonds. But 1t
remains true that this affords a
means of escape from the income
tax, and consequent loss in rev.
enue, which ultimately must be
made up by some other form of tax.
& The British government offered
its third war loan, in February.

per cent issue, and the other a tax

empt bonds were not successful,

But it is only fair to add that the 5
per cent issue (due 1947) was Of
fered at 95, while the per cent is
sue was offered at par. And the
relative amounts of each issue taken
must depend upon special circum-
stances, such as the scale of income
taxation at the time, and the out
look for the future. The lower in

comes the tax-exemption feature.
