DIVISION OF SECURITIES.

Millions of thrifty Americans who
have laid aside something for rainy
day" are directly or indirectly owners
of railroad securities. This ownership
represents not only individual invest
ment in the railroads, but holdings OF
railroad securities by life insurance
companies, savings banks, fire and ma
rine insurance companies, benevolent
associations, educational institutions
trust companies and State and Nation
al banks. A large part of the assets
of these institutions depend on the sol
vency of the railroads.
The ownership of railroad securities
among these people is divided approx
Imately as follows:
Individuals, numbering over
100000, own outright about $1O,-
OOO,OOO,O0O In railroad securities.
Over 100000 are stockholders with
an average holding of $13,956.
Life insurance companies, with
100000 policies in force, own
nearly $2,OOO,O0O,0O0 Of railway
securities.
Savings banks, with 100000
depositors, own $847 100000.
Fire and marine insurance COM
panies, casualty and surety COM
panies own a total of $649, 600, 600
Benevolent associations, col
leges, schools, charitable lnstitu-
lions, etc, own, $3.50, 100000.
Trust companies, State and Ma
tional banks own $685., 100000.
According to statistics compiled for
the Association of Life Insurance Pres
idents in 1918, 27.65 per cent of life
insurance companies assets were in
vested in railroad bonds, and during
the first half of 1919 the percentage Of
railroad bonds held by the life insur-
ance companies was 1925 Of the total
assets Of these companies.
Interest Of Wage Farmers.
In addition to this widespread own
ership of equities of American rail-
roads by the people Of the United
States every wage Garner who puts
money into the savings bank has a d.
rect interest in the soundness Of rail-
road investment on account of the
large part Of the savings Of men and
women wage earners secured by the
railroad bonds which are bought by the
savings banks.

The value Of agricultural lands has
been jumping during the past Few
wears. and during 1919 many owners
sold out part or all of their lands at big
profits. All such gains constitute IN
come and must be taken into the net
income for the year.
ANY person who soil part OF farm
or ranch, or part Of parcel OF land,
must also show any gains realized by
the sale.
The method of figuring gains and
losses on such transactions is prescrib-
ed in the Income Tax regulations,
comics of which may be secured from
Internal Revenue Collectors.
Forms for Returns.
The Internal Revenue Bureau has is
sued an improved Form 104OF for the
use of farmers. This form, together
with Form 1O4OA or 1O40, will give the
farmer explicit information as to how
to nroperly figure his net income for
1919.
There are two methods Of figuring q
farmers income tax return this year.
He may make his return on the basis
of the difference between the money
and goods received for his products
and the cash paid out for actual allow
able farm expenses within the year.
Or he may make his return on the &C
crual basis, which means computing
the receipts and expenses that pertain
to the taxable year, Excluding income
earned and expenses incurred In pre-
yious or succeeding years

Let Him Stay.

There will surely be no genuine, grief
over the decision OF the Dutchman en-
peror In obedience to public opinion,
which year ago was more passionate
on the subject than il is to-day, the
allied statesmen inserted in the peace
treaty a stipulation that Holland
should be asked to surrender the ex-
kaiser as an act Of high international
policy And having made the stipu-
latiou. the allies have felt themselves
bound to 90 through the motions Of
asking for him.
II may be taken for granted, how
ever. that neither England, France nor
Italy is inclined TO put any pressure
upon Holland in an endeavor to force
compliance with their request. They

surer way Of overturning the present

lie and setting the pan-Germsnists once
more in the saddle.
During his last election campaign

refusal to comply In this, As every
