Mere Change in Ownership,

f1ugHes asserted tnat instead OF
receiving income his client had been def
nitely assured by the declaration of the
stock dividend that she would receive no
cash dividend out of that large pal, of
the earnings diverted to capital account
He asserted that the transaction in sub
stance had been change in ownership
and that the Constitution did not permit
such change to be taxed.
Mr.. Hughes asked that the demurrer
be overruled because Congress had no
power under the Constitution to classify
chares received as stock dividends as
taxable at their cash value" He said
that the Interpretation OF cash value as
par value was made by Collector Eisner.
He pointed out that the war revenue act
Of 1917 amended the 1915 amendment to
classify stock dividends as income to the
amount OF earnings or profits the new
shares represent Only 1915 assess
ments are affected by the suit.
Mr.. Rothwell held that Congress was
empowered by the sixteenth amendment
to enact the income tax law amendment
OF 1916, and that the amendment was
not In conflict with Article l. Of the
Constitution providing that no direct tax
shall be laid except as apportioned to
the States according to their population
These were the constitutional questions
raised By the suit
Mr.. Rothwell asserted that the 1916
amendment was not affected by the de-
clsion in Towne vs. Eisner He ad-
vanced the theory that this decision con-
strued the original income tax law and
not the Constitution.
Mr.. Boutwell, agreed with Mr.. Hughes
that the suit hinged on the meaning OF
the term income under the sixteenth
amendment. He argued that profits OF
any kind, whether in cash or its equiv
alent constitute income. He said that
the plaintiff received property Of value.
that each $500 In capital represented by
her original holdings was increased to
5000 by the stock dividend. This in
crease, he said. represented an increase
In income that was independent OF the
fluctuations in the market value OF tho
stock.

Metals
Large Users Of Copper
Are Not Tempted
by Lou Price
Quoted

Copper sales at 15Aa cents a pound
were recorded again yesterday. While
these transactions involved onlv lin
tied quantities of the metal the sales
being made by small producers, it is
generally understood that the large
producers, who are quoting 16 cents,
would shade that price if buyers were
to appear in the market for sizahle
lots. But the important consumers are
not showing any signs of coming into
the market, either with inquiries or
purchases, and there is no indication
that they will until conditions gener-
ally have become more settled.
There was further advance in the
price of lead quoted by Independent
dealers, who asked $50 cents a pound
for the metal, while the American
Smelling and Refining Company's price
remains at $40 pound.

Buying of High Grade
Silks Keeps Actiue;
Dress Gutter in
Market

Salesrooms of the leading silk manu-
facturers presented scene OF activity
again yesterday. Out of town retail
dealers we're present in large numbers.
They purchased the better grades Of
goods quite literally and reported that
the ultimate consumer continues to
buy silks in way that indicates pros
pcrity. Cutters of silks for fine dresses
also bought more freely than of late,
and purchases by jobbers of millinery
goods added to the total volume of
business.
The cheaper grades of plain silks
sold slowly. Statesmen reported that
moire goods, high class Georgettes with
printed figures and heavy pure silk
Jersey cloth received the most atten-
ton from visiting buyers.
Inquiries for silk yarns showed an
increase, and the orders actually placed
were somewhat larger.
Buying of silk goods suitable for
upholstery work has improved, indicat-
ing that homes are being refurnished.
The demand for raw silk was dull.
American manufacturers continue to
buy on a hand to mouth basis and to
supply their requirements from the
stocks held by importers in the United
States. Latest advices from Japan in
dicate that the standard grade of Jap
anese raw silk is off about 10 cents q
pound. An instance was heard yester-
day of an American manufacturer hav-
ing purchased raw silk on the assump-
tion that the French embargo against
its importation had been lifted.
