Surplus Carried Over


Beginning with the frat year Of Mr..
Cassatt's administration and up TO the
year 1917, II had been the custom for
She Pennsylvania Railroad to dispose
of surplus income over dividend and
sinking fund requirements by making
liberia appropriation for improvements,
bcttorncnts and construction. For
1918, howc1cr no deduction Of this sort
is made, as if is incumbent uDOn the
government, as lessee, to maintain the
property.

The bond bill has passed the Sen
ate. 1t will be signed by the Presi-
dent. 1t allows the Secretary of the
Treasury to fix the rate on the com
ing issue. Under the income tax
schedule of 1917, a man having an
income in excess of 100000, in
vesting it in the 3 1-2 per cent
Liberty bonds, received a return
equivalent to SOP per cent on tax
able securities, and so on up, so that
If the mans income were in excess
Of 100000 a year his income re-
turn on the bonds was equivalent to
9.21 per cent. These figures were
based on the assumption that the
income tax schedule would remain
as high during the life Of the bonds.
which was not likely; but the ex-
emption provided sufficient induce
ment to cause Mr.. Otto Kahn to ask
whether it would not lead to heavy
selling of other securities in order
to buy these bonds, whether it
would not bring about liquidation,
severe shrinkage in values and more
or less pronounced decentralization
Of the investment market" That
his fears were not utterly without
ground was shown by the heavily
declining markets Of 1917.
The new issue presents serious
possibilities. A 3 1-2 per cent tax
free issue now yields, under the
present income tax schedule, 9.73
per cent to tho person with an in
come Of 100000 or over, up to
1920 per cent for ono with an in
come over S1,000,O00; and IL tho
rate Of the new tax~free notes be
fixed at a per cent, the 100000
man will get lilo per cent on his
money and the 100000 man
17.40 per cent. And as tho new
government notcs will mature in
five years or less, the period for
which they will run will cover the
period Of highest taxes. That will
provide an even greater induccment
to take them than was provided by
the 3 12 per cent bonds, which run
from fifteen to thirty years. 1t will

against selling for 10 cents if the

MARINE ACCIDENTS
IN AUGUST COSTLY
Navy Steamers Seriously
Damaged in Collisions
on Great Lakes.

DETROIT, Mich. Sept. 6--The
chapter of marine accidents along
the great lakes in August and the
latter part Of July has been a serious
and costly one, setting a record for
a similar period for recent years.
Total losses of vessels for six
weeks probably will include the
steamer Captain Dunn. formerly
the Hecla. which sank in Quebec
harbor This vessel sailed the
great lakes for many years. The
only passenger steamer concerned
in a serious accident was Huronic Of
the Northern Navigation Co fleet
big Canadian craft running from
Detroit 10 Port Arthur. The Huronic.
while leaving a drydock at Port
Arthur. collided with a dredge.
The ore carrier, d. w. Mills. was
badly damaged after going on Ford
Shoals, where she was pounded by
heavy seas. The Mills is one Of the
largest lake boats. The Cabotia was
seriously injured when she went on
the ground at Main Ducks. Lake
Ontario.
The LandbO, with a cargo Of coal,
which foundered off Port Au Sable.
Lake Huron, over a month ago. was
sold by the underwriters after being
abandoned by the owners. II was
necessary to lighter 500 tons of her
cargo before she could be raised and
lowed to ST Ignace.
The lumber barge Delta, whose
two line parted, permitting her to
drift on the Lake Michigan beach
near Grand Haven, is total loss
with her 10000 feet of lumber, in
cargo, scattered along the east coast
Marine men look for fewer acct
dents on the great lakes this fall
than usual as scores of the carriers
have been laid up for the season be
