igencieS OF the great war have caused it's amend
lnent until it reaches nearly everybody The exemp-
tons are very low, and considering the much high
cost of living the present tax is and
burdensome than was it's antetype of the Civil War
All incomes above $4,000 are taxed, and under pre-
sent rates of wages, with costs of commodities,
classes that were exempt in 1864 are taxed now.
There are some exemptions beside the minimum
income of $4,000. For instance, each child under
sixteen years of age is counted for an exemption of
$780, and the parents not taxed until the income
exceeds $1,000, where there is one child S24OO with
two, etc. But here is the burden: family in
moderate circumstances struggling to educate the
sons and daughters are about prohibited doing
Just when the child becomes the most expensive to
support and keep in school, the exemption is stopped
and the burden of the parents is increased just when
proper training of the child requires it's decrease

GERMANS PLAN TO
FINANCE PURCHASES

Official reports received by the
Department of Commerce declare
that a German stock company of
which the most important German
banking houses are members. has
b"cn organized in Brazil with a
car ital Of 100000 marks for the
p.rpose of giving bend for yynerchan-
disc purchased by its members and
especially for raw materials ship
ped from abroad to be manufactur-
ed in German factories.
The announcement of the organi-
zation of the concern declared that
such an association is of great i'm
portance for Brazil. since the re-
public has a superabrr dance of raw
products which could thus be util-
lied in the idle German factories to
mutual advantage of the manufac-
turer and the supplicr of materials.
The Brazilian merchants will sell
their products at a good price, re-
cciving notes for the transaction
from the banking combination as
guaranty until he is paid By the
actual purchaser of his goods.

silver, each of 70 pounds net, were
produced in the United States, ac-
cording to +. L. Ransome. of the
United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior, who
obtained the figures from produc-
ers. This is $50 TASKS less than
the output in the fourth quarter of
1919 and 1926 TASKS less than that
in the first quarter of 1919.
California produced 1894 TASKS,
and Texas. Oregon and Nevada to-
gether produced 9O5 TASKS. There
We're ten productive mines in Cali
fornia and one in each of the three
other producing States. Less than
100 TASKS were produced by mines
outside of California and Texas.
The quicksilver on hand at the
mines or in transit to market at
the end of the quarter amounted to
4, 4,160 TASKS.
The average monthly prices of
quicksilver per flask in San Fran
cisco in the first three months of
1920, as quoted in the Mining and
Scientific Press" were $50 in Janu-

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, June 23.-Selling of corn
was general at the opening of the
market and prices broke sharply.
Sellers were most aggressive, hav-
ing in mind reports of an easier car
situation and anticipating further
weakness in cash corn. There was
q little demand at the start. Later
when it developed that receipts for
the day were estimated at only 40
cars many of the shorts covered
and prices recovered a trifie. Late
in the session corn futures de-
veloped great strength and at the
close July rested at 1S0&a1S1 and
September at 17OBa171, gains of
1Aa1R and 1 q, respectively over
yesterdays close. Cash corr was
steady to Sc lower with shipping
sales 10000 bushels.
There was a weakness in oats at
the start, commission house selling
being general with the price off
sharply. When corn rallied there
was much covering by shorts and
the market advanced to the previous
closing level. Oats rested at 103h
for July and S5HaS6 for Septem-
Der. Cash oats were steady to 1c
higher with shipping sales 72,000
bushels. Late in the session shorts
were active buyers of oats.

New York. June 23.-Pressure was
applied against cotton toward the

firm. The principal demand came
from shorts. First-prices were 5
to 35 points higher. and later the

iircgularity. Slight rallies occurred
just before the publication Of the
weekly weather report from Wash

The market stifrened again in the
afternoon. October jumped TO 34.12,
or SO points net higher. Then a
quick break Of 4e points was pro-
NOTED by selling from New Orleans

CITY CLUB
HEARS PRICE
Expert on Finance Scores
Income and Excess
Profits Tax.

Theodore II. Price. of New York
City. editor and proprietor Of Com
merce and Finance. and one of the
country's leading authorities on f.
nancial matters, in his address yes
terday afternoon at the weekly
luncheon of the City Club. declared
himself to be in favor of ABOLISH
ing the income tax and the excess
profits tax, substituting therefor a
sugar coated" consumption tax to
be paid by the merchant, but in
cluded in the selling price.
Mr.. Price said he once was heart
lily in favor of the income tax, but
that actual experience had con-
yinced him that both its angle of
incidence and its angle OF reflection
are too acute. that it is a tax which
weakens the incentive to success
because it makes the government a
partner in the profits of one year
and leaves the taxpayer to bear the
losses Of the next year alone, and
that because of it's "unfairness" in
this respect it leads to an increase
of overhead charges to manufac-
turer and dealer.
1T Is for this reason" he said,
that 1 advocate the abolition of
the tax, net in the interest of the
few, but of the many, upon whose
energies and the constancy of
whose employment and welfare the
progress Of the country depends.
Experience has taught us that
the effect Of the income tax is only
to raise the cost of the things that
the poor man must have, because
those who have the ability to earn
large incomes. being in a small
minority. are able to demand higher
prices for the services they perform
and SO pass the taxes that they
pay on to the large majority by
increasing the cost of living.
The same statement is even
more true of the excess profits tax,
which really tends to protect mo-
nopoly and gives a tremendous ad-
vantage to the large manufacturer
or merchant who is willing to use
his excess profit in smothering his
small competitors by expending it
for selling and advertising cam
paigns, instead of paying it to the
government.
Translated into its equivalent in
energy, the excess profits tax also
bears very heavily upon insurance
corporations and savings banks, in
whose earnings millions of people
are interested as stockholders or
depositors."
Concluding, Mr.. Price said: IF
the tax rate were reduced to
point at which the resulting reve-
nue. would be no greater than the
sum We now collect the cost to
the community could be no greater.
but the burden would be so widely
and so evenly distributed that 1t
would hardly be felt and the great
manufacturers who now plead the
excess profits and income taxes as
an excuse for profiteering would be
deprived of the fund that they use
at present for advertising and
forced into a more equal competi-
tion with the smaller producers"

FALLS MOTOR CORPORATION
PAYS BACK DIVIDEND

Another evidence that the motor
industry has recovered from the
changes made necessary by the
change from war to peace is the
declaration of the Falls Motor Cor
poration of all back dividends on
the preferred stock covering a pc
riod of a year and three quarters.
The company is reported to be do
ing the largest business in its his
tory, with orders booked more than
one year ahead. Earnings on COM
mon stock are now reported at the
rate of more than 25 per cent, after
allowing for all charges.
The company Is only able to take
care of about so per cent of the
business offered and is now rushing
to completion new construction
which will greatly increase the pro-
duction facilities and also its earn
ings.

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STRONG
Business Very Light and
Session Marred by
). Sinking Spells.
MONEY AT II PER CENT
Market Leaders Unwilling
To Act Decisively Account
Railroad Strike.
MONEY AT II PER CENT

New York, June 23.-In spite of
IL per cent money the stock market
closed strong today. Business was
very light and at times during the
day there were. sinking spells here
and there on the list. Offerings
were light and trading was almost
entirely professional. The cheerful
factors of the situation were the
apnouncement that the local long
shoremen strike Is falling and
President Wilson's urgent request
for an early settlement of the rail-
road labor dispute.
Stock market leaders were un-
willing to do anything decisive be-
cause they fear that even when the
railroad labor dispute is settled I,
win be found that the men are not
there to be called back to work.
As to the money market bankers
say there will be no relief until
after the July 1st payments and
that even then relief will be slight,
because the banks will have to get
ready for the big crop moving
loans.
In the absence of any speculative
opportunities in the stock market
a few traders bought the Belgian
lottery bonds on the curb and ad-
vanced them s points. These bonds
are the finest gambling proposition
ever offered to the American public
since the Louisiana lottery was
closed.
Nothing was said during business
hours of the Stutz case. The gov
ernors had their meeting and the
presumption Is that announcement
will be made from the rostrum to-
morrow morning. II Ryan is ex-
pelled the expectation is that suit
for defamation OF character will be
filed by him against the. exchange
and a long legal battle will begin
that will result in some surprising
disclosures of stock exchange meth
DDS. This fight, taken in connection
with the losses the public has sus-
tained will tend to injure the stock
market and retard the progress of
any constructive market.
Reports from the steel industry
were discouraging. Not only is fuel
high. but the car-shortage prevents
flee movement of both raw and
finished products. In spite OF trade
facts, steel stocks were steady be-
cause there is a world shortage of
the metal. 1t is only a question Of
time when the trade will have a
boom. The talk of a reduction of
the Midvale dividend was silenced
with a semi official statement. In
vestors in all steel stocks are prov
ing their confidence in the securi-
ties.
The street was not surprised when
Vanadium Steel declared only the
regular dividend. 1t is well known
that the company cannot increase
it's earnings materially until the
railroad strike is finished.
