Brazil Must Keep

Declares President

RIO DEJANEIRO, Brasil, Nov. Ia
President Epitacio Pessoa gave warn
Ing IN his first message 70 the Brazilian
congress today that the government
u practice economy II II Is to avoid
financial difficulties. 1--WE are at this
moment in a position which warns US
OF danger" he said.
Four-fifths OF the nations revenues,
according to the president, now are alb
sorbed in paying the salaries and ex-
penses Of what he characterized as the
'inordlnate and everincreasing govern
mental personnel" This leaves but 20
per cent Of revenues for the purchase
OF materials, including equipment OF
the army and navy.
The president pointed out that twice
since the beginning OF the republic the
country has been forced TO suspend
payment on the public debt and had
been compelled 10 issue bonds secured
by customs revenues to meet excessive
disbursements. These bonds were held
by foreigners and have not been re-
deemed and the president stated that
Instead Of economizing to pay off these
obligations, Brazil had allowed them to
remain unpaid.
Criticism was made of the mourning

$3.50, 900. 900 and OF the issue OF loans

ut IL impossible for any nation to
continue along such a path and not
eventually fall into difficulties" said
the president. The country now found
itself confronted with demands for Inc
oreases in salaries to provide for the
necessities Of life In abnormal times
resulting from the war. To grant these
would be a wrong policy, the executive
asserted.
The government had made use Of all
possible means Of credit in the last five
years. including the emission OF more
than $500, 600. 900 In paper money. The
president asked whether II would be
possible to continues this palliative
narcotic policy" which, in his opinion,
would soon lead US to the stern real

congress to avoid increasing more obli-
cations except In cases Of extreme ne

Stock Tax Case.

In some well informed quarters the
opinion Is that II the Supreme Court
concur with the lower court decisions
that stock dividends are untaxable. the
stock market will literally go through
the roof. If. on the other hand, the de-
oision be disappointing to the bulls. the
market probably will not be affected
permanently because wealthy men un-
doubtedly will hold their securities until
after the turn OF the year. that they may
mol be obliged to include their extraordi-
rary profits in their 1919 tax returns. In
defence OF this belief a market authority
makes this comment: THE greatest
bull argument on the stock market is
the demand itself The attitude OF
wealthy investors and spectators seems
to be clearly defined. The high priced
Industrial shares which they have accu-
muated are evidently being held tight
with no thought OF liquidation at the
present time. No doubt the accumula-
ton OF these shares is predicated upon
the prospect OF continuous big earnings
and upon the fact that large undis-
II ibrted assets will ultimately mean the
cutting of luscious melons. In all prob
ability this melon cutting will be gov
erned largely by the forthcoming stock
dividends case"

result of the big business being enjoyed
by automobile concerns that its dlrec-
tors are considering Increasing the divi-
dent from the present per cent. to 10
per cent. basis, and the result Is that
accumulation by insiders in position to
know more about the company's affairs

is understood to be in a very strong po-
sition and with respect to the floating
supply. its situation is equally as acute
as that of Endicott-Johnson. There are
only 10000 shares outstanding and prac-
tically all OF them have been taken out
