COURT RULING
COST At LEAST
HALF BILLION

Washington, March 10.-The loss
to the government as a result of
the supreme courts decision declar-
ing stock dividends not taxable as
income will be nearly half a bill
lion dollars, according to an esti-
mate today by Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Roper.
With some 100000 dividend re-
turns on the bureaus files it will
take months to make an accurate
estimate to the effect Of the deci-
sion, Mr.. Roper said, but a hasty
search indicates that $70.000,00
paid in 1917 and 1918, will have to
be returned, while the loss in un-
collected taxes in 1919 will be
$100,000,000 and that for 1920, $780,
900 900.
Some of this loss, the commits
sloner said, will be offset by the tax
on stock sales. Mr.. Roper empha-
sized that estimates of the govern
mems loss are not official and that
the loss might be found to be
larger.

TRADE BOARDS
ORDER TO COAL
men ATTACKED
Suit Started to Test Power to Re.
quire Information About
Private Business.

Washington, March 10.-Suit to
test the powers Of the federal
trade commission was instituted
today in the supreme court OF the
District of Columbia by the May
nard Coal company of Columbus.
Ohio, the first of several legal ac-
tions planned by the National Coal
association to determine how far
the commission may go in requir-
ing private corporations to furnish
information of their business.
Called Friendly.
An official announcement by the
association said the suits were
started in friendly spirit and in
no way constitute an attack on the
commission. Believing that the
commission has exceeded its auth
Ority in requiring statistical re-
ports in the form and manner pre-
scribed, the association has gone
into court to settle judicially the
extent to which basic industries
are subject to control by the gov
ernment through the commission.
1t was said that the association
had every reason to believe the
| commission would be willing that
| the questions be placed before the
courts.
The action instituted today took
the form Of a request for an in
junction to restrain the commits
sion from requiring monthly re-
ports showing costs, income and
tonnage, and an annual report OF
financial conditions. It was re-
cited that the commission issued
facts and instructions for the
preparation Of the reports, which
in effect prescribed system of ac-
counting for coal mining opera
tions differing substantially from
those commonly in use.
Attacked On Three Grounds.
An injunction was requested or
the three grounds that the order o
the commission requiring the re
ports exceeded the authority vestet
in the commission by congress
that if congress gave the commits
sion authority to require such re
ports the act is unconstitutional
and that any power vested in tn
commission to require such report
was transferred to the fuel admin
istration by presidential order.

Instead of Changing

Washington, d. c.. March 10
We're it not for the fact that the
political cloud hangs heavy over

desire to go campaigning for q
third term being suspected on Cap

White house holds the treaty foes
guilty of political motives, and the
latest contribution by President
President Wilson to the literature
of the treaty debate-his letter to
Senator Hitchcock on article x
would have fallen on more fertile
soil.
But the White house and con-
gress have rubbed each other the
wrong way so long that Mr.. Will
sons appeal on the merits Of ar
ticle X itself-wherein he pointed
to the dangers of militarism and
the return to the old order of
things in Europe unless the United
States put the weight of moral in
f1uence on the scales-hardly had
the effectiveness which might have
attended the same argument under
other circumstances.
Have Votes, Ii Not Vision.
The president continues to hurt
the sensibilities of senators, both
Democrats and Republicans, for
getting that while they themselves
may not be disposed to see the
broad outline Of international pol
icy with the same clarity that he
does, they nevertheless have
enough votes to ratify or reject the
treaty. MIR. Wilson is naturally
impatient with Democrats who are
| ready to surrender to the Lodge

because he doesn't think the sena-
