MunitiOn Tax Held
Due From Makers
OF She'll Parts

PHILADELPHIA, June 9-The policy
of the government involving many
millions of dollars in revenue already
collected, or in course of collection,
was sustained by the Circuit Court of
Appeals here to-day in decision hold
ing that the wartime tax on profits OF
munition manufacturers must be paid
by those who produced only parts of
shells. The contention was raised by
the latter that the impost was intended
to apply only to completed articles.
In group of three decisions the
court held that any participant in the
abnormal profits of munition making
must submit himself to taxation laid
upon this class of income Opposite
action by the court would have neces-
Stated legislation to make up the con-
sequent deficit in Federal receipts.
The decisions, written by Judge
Burlington and affirmed by Judges
Woolley and Haight, who sat with him,
sustained the judges of the first and
third Pennsylvania districts, who de-
MED claims of the Carbon Steel Com
pany and the Worth Brothers Com
New-York tribune., 1919-06-10

pany, seeking to recover from the pow
ernment taxes paid under the excise
tax law of September 8, 1916, and re-
versed the justice in the twenty third
district, who allowed a similar claim
by the Forged Steel Wheel Company.
The suits were known as the "Part
she'll tax cases."
Judge Buffington's opinion held that
the purpose of Congress was to tax per-
sons who manufactured the whole or
any part of a she'll, overruling the
manufacturers contention that the
legislative intent was confined to the
production of the completed she'll or
completed part. It's effect is to make
munition contractors liable for their
profits, regardless of sub-contracts,
and to place similar liability upon
all sub-contractors doing any part of
the work of producing a shell, whether
loaded or unloaded.
In general the opinion advanced the
rule that where any article which is
fitted for general commercial use is
taken from that field and segregated for
utilization as a war munition, the per-
"OAA SoAA yAiAS Out tiIc SeSTeSdtlOH De-
comes a manufacturer of war material
and as such is liable to the tax.
The opinion also held that decisions
of the Federal courts on customs cases.
cited by the manufacturers to show
that uncompleted parts of manufxc-
tured articles were not subject to taxa
ton, did not apply to the act in ques-
tion, which was declared to be purely
revenue measure, incident to the sup
port of the government during the war.
Judge Burlington pointed out that the
customs laws were enacted not pri-
marily for revenue, but to encourage
American manufacturers, and where
importation of parts of articles to be
assent bled or manufactured in this
country was not in competition with
American industry exemptions or re-
ductlons of impost duties were proper.
The tax which induced the LITIGATION
is an annual levy of 1919 per cent
upon the entire net profits actually
received or accrued from the sale or

Commodities
In d strials
Cotton

Cotton prices leaped upward yester-
day the full $40 bale to which the
movement in any one day is limited by
the Cotton Exchange rules. Sales for
delivery in all months dealt in, except
December, in which trading was mac
tive, were at higher prices. Closing
prices were at or near the top. The
rise carried the July and October de-
liveries about $13.75 a bale above the
low points of last Saturday.
Unfavorable weather reports from
the cotton belt and improved foreign
demand for raw cotton and textiles
were given as the chief reasons for
the great strength in the market The
drastic liquidation of last week had
left the market in an excellent position
for an upward turn, and the movement
got under way right at the start Open
ing prices were 10 to 81 points higher
on reports Of heavy rains over Sunday
instead of the warm, dry weather
which the crop needs. Then came word
from cotton shippers that foreign de-
mand was improving.
Japanese firms were said to be large
buyers and it was reported that cotton
was being shipped in considerable vol
ume to Rotterdam. Shipments would
soon be made to certain Russian ports,
it was understood, for ultimate con-
sumption in Lithuania and Poland. Ex-
ports from all ports yesterday were
$500 bales.
In the local spot market middling
uplands were quoted at 3275, an ad-
vance of 80 points. The Liverpool ex-
change was closed yesterday.

Says Call Money
S System Hampers
Acceptance Market

DETROIT, June 9.-John E. Roven-
sky. vice-president of the National
Bank of Commerce in New York, speak
inc to-day before the convention of the
American Acceptance Council, dis
cussed at length the need of the estab-
ishment of broader discount market
in the United States. Mr.. Rovensky
In the course Of his talk, emphasized
the Importance of the discount market
as an equalizer of interest rates be-
tween the different sections of the
country and between the United States
and foreign countries. He also pointed
to the discount market as an important
stabilizer of gold movements between
countries.
THE most serious influence oper-
ating against the development of the
American acceptance MARKET" said Mr..
Rovensky, "is our call money. system
So long as we have call money market
based upon Stock Exchange loans, it is
impossible for the acceptance discount
market to become the important sta
bilizing medium used by banks to
equalize their cash and investment po-
sition. 1t will always follow that when
the Stock Exchange call loans pay
higher rate of interest than the ac-
ceptance market, money will be with
drawn from the acceptance market to
go into call loans. These call loans,
while it is recognized that they are
not callable, but are really only shift
able, are used as equalizers of the
cash positions of the banks. While call
loans exist they will always form part
of the secondary reserves of the banks,
and our discount market will be cor
respondingly retarded in it's develop
ment.
Another evil effect of our present call
money system is that it absorbs the
means by which the discount corpora
tions and bill brokers should properly
be assisted in carrying their portfo-
lios. In all other countries call loans
are based on bills held by bill brokers'
The same would undoubtedly be true
in this country if we did not have our
present method of daily settlements on
the Stock Exchange and the resultant
Stock Exchange call loans.
