Nevada's Industries Drop.
While So. Dakota's Grow
Decline in Copper Smelling and
Refining Affects 1919
Census Survey

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Decrease
in the smelling and refining Of copper
brought about declines in the number
OF plants in Nevada, as revealed in the
industrial census report Of that state
in 1919, compared to 1914. Preliminary
reports on the industrial census in
Nevada and South Dakota we're issued
to-day by the Department OF Com
merce.
The number Of manufacturing estab-
lishments in Nevada declined from 1870
in 1919 to 1865 in 1919, and employees
from 4,113 to 1866. Primary horse
power also declined from 1918 to 49,
874 Capital. however, increased from
close to $14000,000 to almost $16,00O,-
900. Salaries showed 24.8 per cent

Court Rules Estate
Tax Exempt From
The Income Levy
Government Must Repay All
Past Collections Unless 1t
Wins ON Appeal From the
Claims Tribunal Decision

WASHINGTON, March 18.-The
Federal government to-day lost an i'm
portant income tax suit, when the
United States Court Of Claims held
that every estate. the net amount of
which exceeds $4,000 and which has
been, or is hereafter, compelled to pay
the Federal estates tax, is entitled to
deduct the amount so paid from Its
income tax return.
The effect Of the decision, should it
be sustained by the court to which
the government noted an appeal, will
be that the government will not only
be compelled to refund fall taxes al
ready collected from estates under
such circumstances, but will be un-
able to collect similar amounts from
estates in the future.
The court awarded Judgment for
$165,075 in favor Of Senator Under
wood, Of Alabama; Alan H. Woodward
and Reginald Barrister, as executors
Of Joseph H. Woodward. in a suit to
reverse the action of the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue in refusing to al
low, as deduction under the income
tax law, the sum Of S489 ,834e paid by the
executors as Federal estates tax.
The decision in the case was based on
the construction of section 214 of the
revenue act Of 1918, which prodives
that: "In computing the net income
there shall be allowed as deductions
taxes paid, or accrued, within the tax
able year imposed by the authority of
the United States, except income, war
profits and excess profits taxes" The
construction of the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue was that the amount
paid under the estates tax law was not
tax which could be deducted, but "a

Germans Bid for Trade
Offer Goods i'm South America
40 Per Cent Under u. S.

WASHINGTON, March 18.--Germany
is making good progress in drive to
revive her pre-war trade in low priced
articles with South America, according
to report to the Department of Com
me rec to-day from Commercial Attache
Charles A. Mcqueen, at Santiago, Chile.
Germany's appeal, Mr.. Mcqueen said,
is made for the most part on price
basis, though not as low as before the
war. However, he added, American
goods are priced so high because of ex-
change rates that German goods are at
least 90 per cent below them.
According to reports from the East
Coast, he continued, the Germans are
not working as hard jim Chile as they are
in Argentina and Brazil. The opinion
prevails also, he said, that German COM
petition is not great factor in the
present checking Of American trade with
Chile.

Public Taking to Medium
Grades Since Decrease i'm
Buying Power, but Lowest
Standards Fail to Move

Decreased purchasing power of the
public has not resulted in demand
for the cheapest grades of merchan-
disc, as many wholesalers and retailers
believed. A search through the local
wholesale markets reveals uncomfort-
able surpluses of low grade merchan-
disc, which the holders are finding diff
ficulty in moving at any price they
name. The largest accumulations are
in the staple goods, such as hosiery,
underwear and some Of the apparel
lines in which style Is not the para
mount element.
One of the largest jobbers Of hosiery
and underwear in the city yesterday
brought this point out by specific ex-
ample. He has in stock fair amount
of cheap cotton half hose for men.
which he is merchandising on basis
that enables the retailer to sell them
at l5 cents pair, or if exceptionally
generous, at two pairs for 25 cents,
and still make a comfortable margin
of profit. Last year such stocks moved
1; 1alrly freely at 25 cents pair retail.
This year both he and his retail Gus
toners are finding it hard to move this
merchandise into the hands of con-
sumers, but business is brisk on a
higher grade of hosiery, which can be
retailed at 25 cents a pair, against SO
cents last year. He reports much the
same. condition in a line of underwear
he has in stock.
Against this experience is the case
of low-priced department store in
the city of Detroit, where unemploy-
ment has reached higher percentage
than in most industrial centers, which
has increased its gross sales over last
year every month this year. With the
price decline in mind, this indicates a
much larger distribution in units Of
merchandise. However, according to a
buyer for the store, the bulk of busi7
ness is being done on the medium in
Nstead of the lowest grades of mer-
chandise and the increased business is
believed to come from. customers who
formerly patronized the higher-priccd
stores, but who are now economizing
by purchasing in a lower-priced store,
but taking the higher types of mer-
chandiSe in that store.

BY Large Inventories

The necessity for continued liqui-
dation of large inventories among
industrial corporations, in the opin-
ION Of the Cleveland (Ohio) Trust
Company, will make tho business
recovery slow process.
with but few exceptions" says
the bank, "the 1920 reports Of large
industrial corporations show large
increases in quantities Of goods on
hand and considerable expansion in
the amounts owed to the reporting
companies and those owed by them
to others.
"These facts mean that during the
months to come the main task of
these companies will be to work off
these inventories at prices which
will be far below those at which
they were acquired. AS they do this
they will reduce their debts and col
lect their receivable accounts, using
in the process much larger amounts
of manufactured goods than would
have been necessary 8 year ago,
when prices were high. This means
that the resumption of new manu-
featuring will be gradual and that
money rates will tend to remain rel-

being 5000 an acre. Illinois ranked
second, with her land valued at S157

more their statements are backed up
by substantial orders they are placing

Prosecutor Warns
Clerk of Perjury
I'm Plumbers Trial
Estimator Suddenly Called
as Witness After He Is Or
dered by His Employer
Not to Talk to Attorney

Frank J. Boylan, an estimator en-
ployed by the plumbing firm Of Wells
& Newton, who was the final witness
yesterday in the trial of three master
plumbers indicted with John r. Het-
trick for violation of the state anti
trust law through the operation of the
"Code of Practice" was put through a
severe grilling by Special Deputy At
torney General Kenneth M. Spence.
Boylan was called Unexpectedly fol-
lowing an incident outside the court
room in which the prosecutor was in
volved with Boylan and Frank J. Fee,
president Of Wells & Newton. Mr..
Spence was in conversation with Boy
Ian when Fee peremptorily called his
employee aside and ordered him not
to talk with the prosecutor. Boylan
was called to the stand as soon as
court reconvened.
"Did you not admit to me that it
was the custom to send q pink card
the bid to be % K'd' before sending it
to the builder?" Mr.. Spence asked the
witness.
NO" came the prompt reply.
Further questioning along the same
line elected similar responses, and
then suddenly Mr.. Spence asked:
"Do you know what perjury is?"
After the witness had replied in the
affirmative and given his definition of
perjury Mr.. Spence said:
"Well, you had better tell the truth
here"
Boylan then admitted that he had a
hazy recollection of describing the
matter in the manner indicated by Mr..
Spence's questions. Both Mr.. Fee and
Charles A. Murphy, officers of the firm
of Wells & Newton, had previously
testified that this was not the practice
of their firm and that they did not
know Of any case where they waited
for an 20. K" from Hettrick on bids.

would, in your opinion, give you high
degree of safety and a reasonable
yield. We consider each of the six a
high grade bond in which safety is the
first consideration. Atchison, Topeka

then, fail to see how the company could
sell more than s5o.ooo,ooo worth OF bonds
on q security valued at $1,000, 900 only.
hlndly explain why the government prc
war bonds, bonds which bring in only 2 per cent,
are selling SO much higher than the first
Liberty las. which, l believe, are exem5t
IRON all taxes.--A. s.
Answer-The three railroads which
you name are under present circum-
stances to be classed among the weaker
railroads, and your Baltimore & Ohio
and st: Paul convertibles are not Sc
cured by first mortgages. The Rock
island, Arkansas & Louisiana 41as are
secured by first mortgage on one of
she short lines and are selling at
around 67h, yielding about S.7O per
cent This is a higher yield than is
generally consistent with the degree of
SAFETY you require. Your Chile Copper
per cent bond is selling in the neigh
borhood of rs, at which price it yields
1V.ll per cent. This again is a case
where you are getting high WELD
rather than high grade security. If
you demand safety above everything
else, we suggest that you shift into
some of the bonds which are charac-
lerized as high grade in these columns.
The Chile collateral trust bonds are
secured by the deposit of 10 900 shares
q stock. not s1,000,00O of the Chile
Exploration Company This 10000
shares of stock represents ownership Of
copper mines, etc. including a 163-mile
railroad, in South America. The reason
that government pre-war bonds are
selling at higher prices than the frst
Liberty 31as is because they are eli
gible as investments for national banks
against which national bank notes--that
is. currency-can be issued, whereas
the Liberty 31as are not eligible for
this purpose. There is rather keen
bidding 'on the part of bankers for
these issues, for on the money put into
them they receive the interest repre-
sented by the bond coupons, and on the
currency received by them they get an
additional return of from, say, S per
cent I'M.
