War on Questionable Securities.

One OF the reform tendencies of the

the way of the fotation of fraudulent
questionable and too highly specula-
tive securities. The New York Stock

letter to bankers. the president of
the New York Stock Exchange saws:

pointed out that during the 1870 years

FINANCIAL-LOCAL e. OTHERWISE

The Legislators of the federal reve-
nue. act of 1918 still hold to the
position that stock dividends shall
be taxed as income. though all courts
which have ruled on matters involv-
ing this question have held to the
contrary. Under the caption "Divi-
dends" and the title Income Tax" in
the revenue act it is held that the
term dividend" means any distribu-
ton made by a corporation other than
personal service corporation, to it's
shareholders or members whether in
cash or IN other property or in stock
of the corporation out of its profits
accumulated since February rs, 1913,
and prior to February /. 1918. Under
the caption Stock Dividends" is this:
"A dividend paid in stock of the cor
poration shall be considered income
to the amount of the earnings or
profits distributed. If any stock divi-
dend is reviewed by a taxpayer be-
tween January l and November /,
1918, both dates inclusive. or is dur
ing such period bona fide authorized
or declared, and entered on the books
or the corporation, and is received by
taxpayer after November /, 1918,
ana before the expiration of thirty
days after the passage of this act,
then such dividend shall. in the man
ner provided in section zoe, be taxed
10 the recipient at the rates pre-
scribed by law for the years in which
the corporation accumulated the earn
ings or profits from which such divi-
dend was paid. but the dividend shall
oe deemed TO have been paid from the
most recently accumulated earnings
or profits"

USE OF CANNED BLOOD

Use OF canned blood" one Of the

One of the heaviest causes OF death

began organizing to reduce the number
of fatalities from this cause, and large
numbers of medical men were put In

WILL ASK ALLIED SHIPS
FOR EUROPEAN RELIEF
Shipping Board Declares America
Not in Position to Provide
Additional Tonnage.

The shipping board win ask that
England and France provide vessels TO
meet future requirements of the
European relief committee headed by
Herbert Hoover, Chairman Hurley an
nounced last night. The request Will
be presented through the allied mari
time and transport council now at
Paris, on the ground that American
resources cannot allocate additional
tonnage.
American tonnage allotted 10 the re-
lief commission now totals 74l.916
lightweight tons. according to ship
ping board estimates. In addition,
twelve vessels of s2,9T0 lightweight
tons have been assigned to specific
relief missions for Finland. Czecho-
slovakia and the Armenian and Syrian
areas.
American commercial needs are
pressing. Mr.. Hurley said. and for that
reason the board did not feel it was
possible to withdraw more steamers
from that service, inasmuch as none
had yet been assigned to the work by
the British or other allied govern
ments.
Efforts also will be made to speed
up the release of ships still in Ameri-
can Army service, Mr.. Hurley indi-
Gated, and for the early utilizat ton of
German tonnage which Is to be turned

Says o. S. Control Is Expensive.

The Railway Age, in commenting
on the downward trend of railway
net operating income, says that the
present system Of government opera
ton is proving far more expensive
than private operation, even in the
absence of any advances in wages.
1t says: Tn spite of the enormous
increase in expenses. officials of the
railroad administration continue to
point out economies which have been
effected. These economies are real
but most of them cannot be perma-
nent. For example, r. H. Ashton
estimates the economies he has effect
ed during the year. first as director
of the western region, and later OF the
northwestern region. at $34 900, 900.
1t is a notable fact, however, that MI.
Aishton's statistics show that over
s23 900. 900 of these economies were
effected by reductions of passenger
train service, most OF which must be
temporary"
