Furlough Fare Rate

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: On February %, when the rail.
roads were taken over by their privsi.
owners, q most favorable concession
which had been allowed men Of tin
army and navy was discontinued.
This was known as the reduced fur
Tough fare rate, permitting service mea
to travel to their station at the rate O
1 per cent a mile, plus war tax, when
leave of absence was granted.
The high cost Of living, combird
with the present low rate Of pay pr
vailing throughout the service, and tie
hold-up by Congress of any increase ii
the rate Of pay tend to make the S
Of the service man an extremely ha'i
one. Fer instance, we have upon tbs
ship several men whose homes are IN
Texas, two from Oklahoma and ons
from Arkansas. There are nunhI
Of others from adjoining states, but
the first mentioned VIII be compellt
to save their pay for six months or
year before they can raise sufcien'
funds to pay the railroad fare to thai
homes.
I believe the railroad officials n:
openminded upon the subject s'a
could be brought to see the great fsv9'
which would be conferred upon servl's
men if the furlough fare rate could De

test was, or whether she made
speeches for her husband. Perhaps
the mere fact she had been Vesta
Tilley was sufficient. The Times
remarks that "the most significant
fact" Of the election is the indica-
tion "of the influence Of woman In
politics and the power Of the wom-
ems VOTE"
The influence Of women in Eng
lish politics has not been disputed.
Long before they had the ballot
they entered on canvassing with a
zest unknown in this country.
With the vote, Of course, their In
fluence is increased. American
women are now getting taste Of
politics, and they like the taste.
Those who want offices will get
them on the same conditions as men.
Others who prefer indirect power
will land their "hubbies" in Wash
ington. There is more than one
famous actress on the stage or on
the screen whose word in behalf Of
her husband would go long way
with the voters.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-10
The Husband Of Vesta T'illev

In a recent English by-election
that at Ashton -under-Lyne-the
successful candidate, who pulled
through by narrow majority,
owed his success, it is said, to his
wife. In the words Of The London
Times, "Sir Walter de Frece re-
ceived the most valuable help from
Lady de Frece. The form in which
Si- Walter was introduced to the
constituency made much Of the fact
that he is the husband Of Miss
Vesta Tilley.'"
1t will be recalled that Mamie
Langhorne Astor revealed a most
happy faculty for the give and take
oratory so useful in election con-
tests. And as Vesta Tilley was a
most popular ornament of London
music halls, there is every reason
to believe she would have had an
equal success in the role Of a pros
pective M. P. The Tynsss does not
say how active her part in the con-

The Stock Dividend Decision

1t happens that current stock quo
tatlons afford a striking illustration
of the accuracy of Justice Pitney's
words in the majority opinion of the
Supreme Court in the decision inval-
idating the income tax on stock divi-
dends.
The General Motors Company is
effecting reorganization, one Of
whose features is that each holder Of
one of its shares shall receive on sur
render ten shares Of a new issue.
Stockholders wish shares Of lower
denominations--to have white chips
instead of blue. But the property
back of the enlarged stock issue is to
be identical with the property now
back of the old stock. In effect, al
though not in precise form, there is
to be a stock dividend, though the
new shares are not to carry the dol
lar mark.
q. tiio market both the old and
new stock are dealt in, and on Mon
day the closing price Of the old stock
was 301 and Of the new stock 3O1s
The ratio of value was 10 to /, Just
as was the ratio of the volume of the
old stock to the new.
Ten tenths as much equal / as two
halves equal /. 1t is a mystery why
anybody ever thought a stock divi-
dend was income. A partial expla-
nation, perhaps, is found in the fact
that the financial writ-rs sometimes
loosely speak Of ''meion cuttngs'
and in the practice Of spectators
