NEW TAX PROBLEMS
 STUMBLING BLOCK
Treasury Experts Called to Aid In Search for New h.
 come Sources
By Assoolated Press

Washington. March 19.--The House ways and means committee locked horns today with tax problems arising out of the decision of the supreme court exempting stock dividends from taxation. Treasury experts were called to aid the committee in It's search for new sources of income.
 Wayne Johnson, solicitor of the treasury department. while not indors- ing any plan. told the committee ex else taxes on stock dividends could be made retroactive over a reasonable period and wuold be held constitu- toinal in the future. Methods of flat taxation, abolishing the graduated schedule now existing, were also dis cussed, but comment was withheld by the committed
 Joseph s. Mccoy. government actu ary. estimated that the total net loss to the government as a result of the decision would not be more than $35,- 100000. Pointing out that immediate te losses would be much larger but would be offset materially over a period of years through the resale and subse- quent higher taxes on the stocks
 Committee members said a loss of s35,O00.000 was not sufficient to ne- cessitate legislation to recover but added that some measure to prevent stockholders going free in the fu- ture" and to prevent excessive declara- tions of stock dividends should be en- acted.
 Change of present tax laws is inn probable at this session. Representa- !. tive Kitchin, democrat, North Caro- Ina said Existing laws are satisfac- tory and the graduation of taxes Is fair, he added.

 Are Asked
By Associated Pres,

St. Louis, March 1s.--Reg gional rail- road freight rates, joint water and rail rates and interchange of traffic be- tween rail and water lines. were de- handed today at the convention of the National Industrial Traffic League in session here.
 A resolution was adopted calling on the interstate commerce commission to consider the railroads of the country as in three divisions--the southern. eastern and western-in making freight rate adjustments.
 The resolution recomme nded that in estimating the rate of income on rail- road property all investments not used in the actual operation of the roads be excluded. It will be presented to the commits sion Monday when rail- road officials arc to be heard on rate changes.
 Continuation of the present consoi- idation of express companies or any consolidation that tends to lessen com petition. was opposed in report sub mitted by the committee on express and parcel post.
 The executive committee, in it's re- port. favored joint water and rail rates and asked the government to compel the railways to interchange traffic with water lines the same as among themselves The report, however, de- ared for free competition of boat op- orators without Interference of federal or state bodies in the regulation oi their rates.

DUTCH GOVERNMENT
 IS TAKEN ID TASK
Premier Scored By Deputies for Leniency Toward For
 mer Kaiser
By AssooIated Prs,,

, The Hague, March 1T.-The Dutch government was taken severely to task for what was declared to be it's leniency towards the former German emperor in debate in the second cham Der of parliament today when the pre- mier announced a decree limiting Count Hohenzollern's movements and his pledge not to mix in politics.
 Deputy Schaper. socialist. whose questions brought about announce ment of the decree said he was dis satisfied with the premier's answer as a mere slight increase in the guards about the former emperor was not enough and Count Hohenzollern s rledge not sufficient
 He said there were plenty of oppor tunities for the friends of the exile to bring him letters and asked why visit ors to the Won Bentinck castle were not searched.
 The premier. in answer. referred to his letter to both houses of parlia- ment. informing them of the assur- ance obtained from Count Hohenzol- Tern that he would refrain from all political activity and do nothing which would involve Holland in any interna- tional difficulty
 He added that similar a ~on with reference to the former crown prince had been considered
 Deputy von Rayensteyn. communist, declared the governments policy of silence had strengthened the genera relief that the former emperor came to Holland originally with Hollands s silent approval.
 Count Hohenzollern. he said, had been permitted to live the quiet, easy life of a retired country gentleman. with motor car at his disposal in which he could cross the frontier any time he saw fit.
 The same also could be said. Won Ravensteyn continued about the former crown prince who could main tain communication with the reaction ary party in Germany. Other persons whom the government considered un- desirable were imprisoned and mal- treated in concentration camps, even when provided with good passports, the deputy asserted
 Other deputies took similar stand. some wanting to know how long the Hohenzollerns would be allow ed to stay in Holland The premier said the government long ago had stated it knew nothing in advance of the former emperor's coming and not single person in the government knew of if.
 Up to the present. the premier de- clared. it had not appeared that the former emperor or his son had partici- pated in a single political action.
 The debate closed without any vote of confidence or lack of confidence In the government.
