BUSINESS DEPRESSION REASON WHY .
 ANACONDA COPPER PASSES DIVIDEND
Had Been Paying Regularly Since 1919-U. S. Smelt-
 ing, Refining and Mining
 Go. Cuts Dividend to soc.

New York, Dec 2S.-The Anaconda Copper Mining company today passed the dollar quarterly dividend it has been paying since May 26, 1919.
 Directors of the company. after their meeting. issued statement in which they said that ''on account of prevailing conditions in the metal market no action will be taken on dividends-"
 "A lack of demand for export, low market prices and a reduced output due to curtailed operations, resulting in increased cost of production are factors which. combined, have de- creased the earning power of the com- pany during the year just closing" added the statement.
 Paid Big Money.
 Since 1904, Anaconda, which was a leading subsidiary of the Amalga- mated Copper Company. has paid an- nual dividends ranging from 26 per cent down to per cent, the high in 1soT and the low in 1915. Last years rate was 9 per cent and that of this year per cent.
 In common with copper shares. Anaconda has been weak during the last few months, refiecting the adverse
 
 refining industries.
 Wall Street Not Surprised.
 Anaconda declined 3-4 of a point to 30 3-4 on announcement of the pass ing of the dividend and then dropped n full point in the next sales.
 Wall street expressed no surprise at the action of the Anaconda directors. which evidently had been discounted in the present price of the stock.
 The company's net profits for 1920 as estimated by the directors were s2.591.S2o and its surplus at s6o.479.- 4s7. These figures made allowances for all claims including taxes, interest charges and depreciation of bond holdings. Dividends paid during 1920 amounted to s6.9s3.75o.
 Dividend Is Reduced.
 Bosto. Dec. 2S.-The United States Smelling. Refining and Mining Com pany today declared a quarterly divi- dend of so cets q share on the com mon stock. a reduction from s1.50. tho amount paid in recent dividends. A dividend of S7IS cents a share on the preferred stock was also announced.

Says League Is Dead

MarlOn, onlO. btC. <S.-oIltSu States Senator Porter McCumber. of North Dakota, the only republican member of the senate, who voted for ratification of the Versailles treaty and League of Nations with reservations today advised President-elect Harding to go ahead with his proposition for formation of an association of nations independent of the league as he con- sidered the league dead so far as the United States was concerned.
 Senator McCumber said he did not recommend any definite plan for an association of nations, but urged the formation of some sort of an inter national tribunal to which nations could submit questions of differences for arbitration before going to war. Senator McCumber said he also talked over tariff legislation with the pres dent-elect.
 A plea for appointment of a former service man to a cabinet position was made of Senator Harding today by John J. Maher, of Lincoln, Neb., one of the organizers of the American Legion, who also discussed the soldiers bonus proposition with the President-elect.
 MT. Maher asked specifically that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt be ap- pointed to some cabinet position or given an assistants position under one of the cabinet officers.

MCFadden Would Prevent lsSu- anCe of Tax Exempt Securities
MORE ADVICE FOR HARDING
Senator McCumber of North Dakota, Republican, Recommends That President-Elect Go Ahead With Plans for Association of Nations.

tlonal amendment to prevent the lS- suance of any tax exempt securities by the federal government, the states or any county or municipality was proposed in the House today by Chairman McFadden of the banking committee.
 S15,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO Is Exempt.
 MT. McFadden who formerly was president of the Pennsylvania State Bankers association, said s15,000.- 100000 of securities in the United States are today exempt fIpm tax ation.
 That amount nearly equals all of the railroad property in the country products that are annully sold" said he, adding that in addition there were nearly s25,0OO, 100000 of federal bonds partially or. wholly tax exempt.
 The great injustice of tax exemp- tion was not brought home to our taxpayers until it became apparent that tax exemption defeats the pur- poses of the graduated income tax" he continued. Tax free securities drift into the coffers of the rich thus enabling them to eyade the payment of the heavy income taxes contem- plated aw.
 &hother Bad Result.
 Another result, vicious to the gen. eral public. is tht wealthy investors decline to purchase taxable securities as freely as formerly. Railroads. street car companies. gas companies, industrial and commercial corpora tions are therefore compelled to bor- row fsom small investors, and pay higher rates to both large and small lenders. Freight rates. car fares and are consequently. in. creased in price. The public is com pelled to pay in two ways for the tax exemption privilege granted the favored ones, by increased taxation and by increased cost of living"
