Old Bill Lowney'. Boast.

Old BILL LowNEY can open 100
oysters in minutes 3A seconds,
being timed on chronometer re.
cording quarters Of seconds, not
fifths Of seconds as the race track
watches do. Old BILL is proud of his
record, and he challenges the world
to produce his equal in skill at oys'
ter shucking.
OF course Old BILL is a first class
oyster opener, but Long Island Sound
or Narragansett Bay or Chesapeake
Bay or the bayous Of Louisiana
ought to be able to produce a con
testant or so capable of making him
speed up If he wanted to make good
his boast that his oyster knife knows
no brother. There are many gifted
shuckers whose modesty has never
permitted their fame to spread be-
yond the narrow limits Of their own
oyster beds.
Oyster opening is an art. A man
may be great as poet, painter. a
dispenser of soda water, a book
keeper, a hod carrier, indeed, in any
other walk of life, and yet not be
able to find the eye of the bivalve,
spread wide the shells, slip the knife
under the oyster to free it for con
sumption, and lay the deep shell with
its perfect morsel on the oyster bal
without losing a drop Of the zestful
native liquor which every bon vivant
longs for.

But now we hear this talk about the
"very definite place" of the subma.
rine in sea war. From our own great
Admiral SIMS. making his annual ad'
dress at the Naval War College, we
hear that the submarine must be
further developed.
SIMS is professional and cannot
forget his business, even when the
statesmen of the biggest countries
of the world are struggling to reduce
the burden which war has put on the
minds and pockets of billion or two
of people.
But there is bright side to the
picture. In England they have
stopped work on their four great
post-Jutland warships. In America,
where some experts vote that sub
mersibles have "a very definite place
in warfare, we find the great steel
man, ScHwAD. saying that for the
sake of the objects of the Washing.
ton conference he would gladly see
the huge ammunition and shipbuild
ing plants Of his steel company sunk
to the bottom of the ocean!
Warships and submarines had "a
very definite place" in ScHwAB's
business, but he has the sense and the
patriotism to know and say that
there is no definite place for things
which breed war and are not neces-
sary for the nations defence.

When anybody talks about our
heavily decreased exports of agricul.
tural products he should state eX-
actly what he means. We can still
sell abroad and we do sell abroad at
prices that take the business.
It is true that we did get less
money for what we sold abroad in the
first ten months of this year. We did
get 5000, ,000, coo in round numbers be-
low what we got for our exports Of
breadstuffs in the corresponding
period of the previous year. We did
get only $22, 100000 for our exported
cottonseed oil as against 100000
for 1920. We did get for our meat
and dairy products only $306.600,00
as against s452.O0o.00O in 1920. We
did get for cur cotton only $40S,000,-
600 as against 1858, 100000, and for
our mineral oils S32S,60o,000 as
against $439, 100000.
For all those agricultural products
Jumped together we did get in the
ten months of this year only S1,S52.-
S33,97S as against $2,745, ,369,594, and,
therefore, we did show fall in ex.
port dollar marks Of more than $780,
O00, 1000.
But we did not ship abroad fewer
cargoes Of such products; we shipped
more. We did not sell fewer bushels
of wheat and corn and fewer bales Of
cotton; we sold more.
Our foreign sales OF wheat at
255,803,000 bushels for the ten
months were approximately 90,000,-
900 bushels above the figures for 1920.
Our 114,000,0O0 bushels of corn COM
pared with 100000 bushels for
1920. Our cotton exports Of 5,1S6,000
bales were half million bales, or a
quarter of billion pounds, more
than in the year before. Our cotton
seed oil went 110,000,000 pounds
higher than in 1920, while mineral
oils, although shrinking 190,000,000
gallons under the exports of 1920,
showed gain Of 350,O00,000 gallons
over 1919.
Producing and selling less actua,
wheat and corn and cotton, though
at higher price marks, is not a good
thing for the country; it is bad
thing. 1t is not so good thing for the
grain grower OF the cotton planter or
the dairy farmer as it is for him to
produce and sell more, provided he
gets his costs down to the right level.
He has his lands to work and his
herds to maintain, and he cannot use
the one or the other to capacity if
his sales are throttled, whether by
excessive prices, transportation bar
riers or other business killers.
AS grain crops are measured in
bushels, cotton in bales and oil IN
barrels. these, and not dollar marks,
are the measurements Of the employ.

tivity created at the productive

Stock Dividend Cases.

From the brief summary given Of
the Supreme Court decisions in the
Ohio Oil Company and Prairie Oil
and Gas Company stock dividend
cases, there appears to be little
ground for taxpayers to share with
Treasury officials the reported belief
that these decisions will go far to.
ward unravelling many perplexing
questions arising in stock dividend
controversies. Stock dividends al.
ways were an uncertain quantity,
because it required fine discrimina-
ton and expert judgment to tell
whether the new shares handed out
gratis were actually worth something,
in addition to the stock already is
sued, or were merely paper null
tiples of no value except that derived
by subtraction from the shares al
ready outstanding.
But the income tax law added conf
plications to this already difficult
problem. Before 1913 stock divi.
dend, in any case, could not be any
thing more cumbersome than q piece
of paper. But with the advent of
the income tax this paper took on
the new and worrisome attribute OF
being taxable. For a time the sky
seemed to be clear of this stock divi-
dend tax cloud, because in previous
decision the Supreme Court ruled
stock dividends were not taxable.
How il arrived at different conclu.
sion in the present instance is made
clear in that part of the decision
which reads:
"The new stock represented assets
OF the oil company standing IN the
place OF the pipe line properties that
before had constituted portions of
their surplus assets, and II was capa-
BILE or division among the stockholders
az the pipe lines properties were not.
The distribution constituted in the
case Of each individual gain in the
form of actual exchangeable assets.
It was in substance and effect, not
merely in form. dividend OF profits
by the corporation and individual in
come to the stockholders"
The Court does not rule that the
stock dividend must be sold and a
profit realized on the proceeds above
the cost of the original stock before
the income tax can be levied. In
the previous decision, which made
certain stock dividends exempt from
the income tax, this condition was
appended. The tax was paid only
when there was profit realized by
the sale of the new stock.
The point of difference appears Ia
lie in the fact that in the present
case of the oil company dividends a
tangible and readily calculable addi
tion OF value was handed to stock
holders, and the income tax is pay
able on the same theory as an inher
itsnce tax is payable when values

American Valuation.
II VIII Equalize the Cost of Produc.
ton Here and Abroad.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Albert
W. Pell makes in his letter the mistake
common to most opponents OF american
valuation He confuses rates with a
method OF levying duties.
That his opposition is against rates
and not against valuation is evidenced
by his statement that the rates in the
rordney bill "are generally as high as
and in many cases even higher than
under the present tariff" OF course
they are. The present Underwood tariff
Is Democratic tariff for revenue only.
and it has Mr.. Underwoods unqualified
assurance that IL it contains a scintilla
OF protection it got there by inadvert-
ence and not by design.
The Pordney tariff. on the contrary,
IL intended to be a frankly protective
measure representing the long estab-
Iished principles of the Republican party
and the mandate Of n 100000 majority
at the election Of a year ago.
But American valuation has nothing
70 dc with rates. 1t has nothing to do
with protection. 1t has nothing TO do
with a tariff for revenue only. The
question involved is merely one Of pol
WnrtntT tnO NfoNtAhhhS'e o&ss~f@ ~

foreign valuation.
In framing the Fordney tariff the
Ways and Means Committee first deter

OF imports. When the American valua-
ton plan wY substituted these rates
were reduced FOR the purpose Of making
them yield exactly the same amount OF

A Fantasy Of Waning Autumn.

Every autumntide dream
will carry out my scheme:
While the wind its furrow cleaveS
Through the myriad flame bright leaves
I those other leaves will seek
That were lost from books antique.
In whose glowing parchments loom
Forecast strange and finished doom.
Nine the books the sibyl brought;
Three the mser Tarquin bought,
But the others turned away,
For her price he would not pay!
Then she burned the rest (they say).
Burned them with laughing scorn
At a king Of wisdom shorn.
Burned them? Nay! Fire could not
waste
What her burning heart had traced;
Fire at most could but unbind,
Scattering broadcast on the wind.
Still about the world they blow,
Lifted out of Long Ago!
'Mong the red leaves east and west,
These are brighter than the rest.
That the fields and forests strow:
n this token shall knor'
Shall find them, one by one,
And when all my search is done
will bind them with q thong
And will keep in casket strong.
And their script (Which shall learn)
Into sweet songs I will turn
Songs to take the hearts Of all.
For they have the Sibyrs call
None could buy this book Of mine
Not Apollo nor the Nine.
Every Autumntide this scheme
Drifts away into a dream.

Marked improvement was shown by all

Greaves, the first man at bat for
the Outlaws, opened the game with a
