MELLON TAKESUP
GROSSSALES TAX
With Experts He Began Discus
sion of New Bill to Be o.,
fered Congress.

Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon
and the tax experts in the Treas
ury Department today began consid-
Grafton OF the gross sales tax bill
which Congressman Fordney and Sena-
tor Smoot will introduce on the first
day OF the special session, with a view
OF determining whether IL will raise
sufficient revenue to warrant its
adoption as a substitute for the ex-
cess profit tax.
Senator Smoot held an hours con-
ference with Secretary Mellon at the
time he presented the outline Of tho
measure to the latter and explained
many of its features.
Without definitely committing him
self as advocating the gross sales tax
measure over the other revenue-rais-
Ing plans thus far suggested, Secre-
tary Mellon declared he was much
interested in the measures potentiali-
ties for tightening the tax burden and
still producing the necessary funds for
the Government.
Secretary Mellon was further i'm
pressed today when shown a survey
OF Industrial, economic and financial
conditions throughout the country, in
which bankers, manufacturers and re-
tailers In all sections OF the United
States advocated adoption of the gross
sales tax as the best and most feas-
able substitute for the excess profit
tax.
II believe a sales tax of one-haIf
OF one per cent will yield annually
at least s1.25O,OOO," said Senator
Smoot this afternoon. "It has been
declared by scores of organizations
of manufacturers, bankers. CONNER
cial travellers and retailers to be the
most feasible substitute for the ex-
cess profit tax. 1t will not only dis
tribute the tax burden more equitably
but will be so simple and fair that
no one will try to evade it,"

AMERICAN TRADE
|NF|LMS GROWING
British Producer Declares Re-
ports of Decreased Produc-
ton Are False.
ny EARL G. REEVES,
International News Service.

LONDON, April All reports Of
a slump to the contrary, the Ameri-
can f1lm industry is expanding, and
the financial interests of Wall Street
are taking a bigger interest than ever
in the Aim producing industry.
Such is the message brought from
the States by Carl Laemmle a British
producer. 1t doubtless is of interest
to the movie-goer here, who prefers
American films, but 1t isn't entirely
welcome to the trade" which had
seen in the reports Of panic in the
Aim world an opening for British
ventures.
America is undergoing a period Of
reconstruction" he declares. "The
present condition is simply an after
down and the enormous salaries taken
by certain by film stars are coming
down In proportion.
"But the Aim business Is growing
apace. Picture theaters are multiply
ing enormously in America. The
finest sites in the heart OF New York
are being marked down for the erec-
tion of picture theaters."
Laemmle denies reports spread here
that America has displayed an incli-
nation to boycott British films and
gives his theory, gained as result OF
his visit. as to why America main
tains her lead, producing the best
pictures In the world.
In America there are over 10000
picture theaters," he says. "In this
country there are about 1890. In
America the producer obviously is
justified in spending and can spend
five times the amount on his produc-
tion because he caters to five times
the number of theaters IL IL obvious
that a picture coming from England,
and costing about one-fifth the pro-
duction cost of an American film,
shows up badly In comparison with

mestic conditions, l have no doubt.
will improve toward the latter part
of this year."
for, starting as an uneducated lum
berjack, he has built UP q worldwide
business in lumber and shipping.
Long before last years slump came he
warned me to expect very stormy
weather. He was even then setting
his business in order. With this re-
suit, as he records in his letter: sour
business is holding its own far better
than l could have ever expected"
Have you not noticed thatthe best
managed businesses are having the
least trouble today, and that it Is the
high flyers who have come to grief?
Italian workmen. after their revo-
lutionary escapade last year, have
settled down, and. according to as
surances received from the highest Of
ficial sources, are now working in
dustriously. Italy apparently is pull
ing herself together wonderfully well.
Flour was selling around s15 a
barrel a year ago; now IL is under 50.
1t would be hard to convince the
American housewife of this, however.
Bread. like shoes, still has q war

Because Sears-Roebuck stock has
tumbled badly, many spectators seem
to think that the company is heading
for disaster. Knowing something
about the ability of the organization,
rather think there will be a vigor-
Gus comeback. President Rosenwald
and Vice President Loeb are past
masters of the mail-order business.
1t may be that they spent too much
on bricks and mortar, but when our
35.OOO,00O agricultural population
shake OFF their blues Sears-Roebuck
will be in a position to do more busi-
ness than ever before.

IAGO, April 4.--Life was
puwerful slow down in Mobile for
James Andrew Jackson Thomas. He
craved speed, and the leisurely life
of the South palled on him. He felt
that his talents demanded a larger
economic field.
So on fair day in February last
Mr. Smith packed his razor and en-
trained for Chicago on an overland
freight. Reaching here he engaged
quarters at 3136 South state street
and awaited developments, but oppor-
tunity failed to knock at Mr.. Smiths
door. He was not feazed.
borrowing a nickel and three cents
from fellow lodger, Mr.. Smith took
tram to II East Twenty eighth street
which is the stable OF Charles Powell.

was out. Mr.. Smith borrowed a betty
draft horse, shovel and harness
Then he rode leisurely to 2710 South
Michigan avenue, where there was
parked a two-ton wagon. He hitched
the wagon to the horse.
Special Agent George Murray, OF the
Illinois Central Railroad, was making
his rounds when he heard vocal music.
Having never resided In the South he
had never heard anything like II.
The song was delivered with Cicero
nian gusto and went something like
this:
"Ahll be there on ResVrection Day,
On the other side of Jordan,
In them sweet fields of Eden
Where the tree of life is blooming"
Mr.. Murray discovered the singer
atop OF coal car, shoveling the con-
tents into a two-ton wagon.

GIRLS READ PALMISTRY
TO ANALYZE CHARACTER

MADISON, Wis, April 4.-Co-eds in

other sorority houses at the Univcr-
sity OF Wisconsin are holding hands
with each other nowadays. That's no
reflection on students Of the male per-
suasion nor an indication they are not

that the fair students are studying

MIR. MARsTON's PATIENCE.

Here's another instance OF Mr.. Mar
ston's patience being rewarded He
was thrown into intimate association
with John d. Rockefeller in church ac-
tivities.
Marston's friends frequently jibed
him about how easy il must be for
him to make money, seeing that he
was so close to the oil king. The
truth is that for Ave solid years the
subject of business was never once
brought up by either Mr.. Rockefeller
or Mr.. Marston.
Then, one day. Mr. Rockefeller
asked Mr.. Marston how we was get
ting on in business. Thereafter, Mr..
Rockefeller put some business Mr..
Marston's way.
Had Mr.. Marston, however, tried to
turn his friendship with Mr.. Rookie
feller to financial advantage. the lat
ter would probably have given him
the cold shoulder. 1t was the very
fact that Mr.. Marston had never at
tempted to do so that finally won NJ.

HAS NEVER TAKEN STAND.
The Steel Corporation throughout
the controversy about a reduction in
prices, has never taken a positive
stand that there should be no reduc-
tion. but has contended that such a
reduction could not be brought about
without a corresponding cut in wages,
and that the decline in the cost Of
living had not warranted any reduc-
tion up to this time.
Among the many problems entering
into the question Of lower steel prices,
one of the important factors prevent
ing a drastic cut was the fact that
many dealers were stocked up with
materials at high prices. 1t was said
that a good part of these holdings
have been liquidated and that the op-
position against cuts had somewhat
subsidized.
The decline in prices was not ex-
pected to affect the steel corporation
unfavorably. as the company can turn
out steel at lower cost than the
independents, and there was specula-
tion in stock market circles as to how
the latter would be affected by a gem
eral cut on the part of the big factor.
This in part explained the weakness
of the shares of the Independent con-
Germs in Saturdays markets. Some Is
sues broke from 2 to 3 points.

FINANCE
|BUsfNEss| IN
By B. c. FORBES

Many millions have been made in
Texas oil properties. How many
people know that the man who first
put these oil fields on the map was
forsaken by most of his colleagues
before oil WAS struck and had to dig
deep into his own pocket, refusing to
give up his search. despite adverse
reports from biologists and other
experts?
This man was Edgar l.. Marston,
one of Americas powerful financial
figures, but so modest that his name
is little known to the public.
What, think you, was the first
thing Mr.. Marston did when oil was
finally struck and success became as
sured?
He notified each one of the stock
holders who had not asked him to re-
lieve them of their shares that rich
discoveries had been made, and eau
toned them not to sell their shares
hastily should the news start a rise
in quotations
AS a matter OF fact each share Of
stock rose more than 81 800 in mark ct
value.
This wholesome incident is recalled
now for the beneft of capitalistic in
siders who never lose an opportunity
to use advance information to cheat
the public.
incidentally, Mr.. Marston's faith
and his honesty have been richly re-
warded. He Is now enormously
wealthy.

In view of his absence from
New York, the report lacked
confirmation, but it was freely
discussed in Stock Exchange
circles Saturday.
According to the report, the
decline in prices will in no way
be drastic, and probably will
be only sufficient to place
them on a parity with, the
prices quoted by some of the
independent concerns.
The reduction, according to
Saturdays report, wi | !
amount to about 12Lz per cent.
In the case of steel plates this
will mean a decrease of from
$3.50 a hundred pounds to
