STOCK TAXPUT
IN BONUS BILL
Measure Expected to Pass
House Before Sat
urday.

By a margin of one vote, IL to
I2, q retroactive stock dividend tax
was written into the proposed SOL
dier bonus bill at a stormy session
of the House Ways and Means
Committee yesterday.
The committee. by a vote Of Is to
10, then ordered the bill favorably
reported. and the House leaders
agreed to bring 1t up Saturday. II
will be considered under a special
rule limiting debate to hours and
restricting the offering of amend
ments to one motion to recommit.
Under this procedure, the leaders
believe the bill can be passed and
sent to the Senate before adjourn
ment Saturday night.
Adoption of the stock dividend tar
was made possible by three Republi-
cans bolting their leaders and join
ing with the ten Democrats on the
committee.
The stock dividend tax was made
retroactive to March Is to make Il
over issues Of this character since
the decision of the United States Su.
preme Court holding such issues Il
be nontaxable as income.
Fifty per cent Of the Democrat,
in the House will vote for the bonus
bill, Mr.. Garner estimated.

In addition to this order the Com

orders specifically directed to GER

relocation of approximately $4,000
cars.
! The combined effect Of the three
orders will be:
Freight Of every description will
be moved on connecting or supple
mental roads to the main transpor-
tation arteries. relieving the enor-
nous strain on the latter, and re-
leasing heavy shipments tied up.
The surplus of rolling equipment
! on the Eastern roads will be dis
tributed toward the West, where
inadequate equipment is checking
movement of freight.
Thousands of cars will be re-
leased for hauling grain and coal

shortage in some sections and shut

But every day gets the Democrats
in deeper. Governor Edwards full
inmates more defiantly daily, and
insists that he is candidate for
the Presidency on that issue and
spurns second place. Vice Presi-
dent Marshall seemed to think a
Baptist convention fitting place
to espouse wet sympathies, and,
despite the cries of horror there
arising, his State at once went on
record for him on the wet issue.
Governor Cox, after a brief effort
to temporize, has accepted the sit
uation and will base his candidacy
on the liberal Interpretation of the
Eighteenth amendment.
Out of this situation can come
nothing but serious split In the
San Francisco convention. 1t
would be idle to deny that the
strength Of anti-prohibition senti-
ment among men who 60 to the

purpose of the national authorities
to foster and increase this senti-
ment they could not have done it
better than they have by their
virtual abandonment of all serious
effort to enforce the law in this and
other large cities.
Failure to enforce will be cited at
San Francisco as evidence of q gen
eral public hostility to the law,
when in fact 1t Is but evidence OF
either incapscity or intrigue on the
part of Federal officials.

PRICE CUTTING ATTRIBUTED
TO REDUCTION OF EXPORTS

Omcials Of the Department Of
Commerce believe the drop Of $685.
oo0, 900 in exports for last month
as compared with March. may have
q good deal TO do with the present
cut in prices which has been sweep
ing Che country.
Secretary OF Commerce Alexander
thinks il is the beginning OF q
gradual reduction from the present
high, level. Resdjustment will be
hastened, he thinks, by the refusal
of the public to purchase goods at
high prices
Exports in April were valued at
s6s4, ,o0o. 900 against Ss2ao0o,00o in
March of this year. and S7l5, 100000
in April Of last year.
Secretary Alexander does not
think that the present cut in prices
is temporary.
