The action of the Senate Finance Committee IN reserv

capitastic measure of taxation, should not go un-

"Almost every recommendation made by you and other

VA, TREASURY
GETS S237,000
FROM DOG TAX
Over $135,OOO for Road
School Funds After All De-
mands Are Liquidated.

RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 15.-For the
license year ended January 81, 1921,
the sale of dog licenses in Virginia
amounted to $237.762 according to the
annual report submitted to Gov. West
moreland Davis by F. Nash Bilisoly,
commissioner of game and inland
fisheries, head of the department
charged with the enforcement of this
act. OF this amount $500, ,464.03 went
into the treasures Of the counties and
cities and towns, while S37 ,29S.67 was
received by the department OF game
and inland fisheries, apd used by II
in enforcing the law.
The report shows that from the
fund of $200,464.03 received by the
localities a total Of S15,176.4 was
aid out for damages done by dogs to
sheep and other stock, which Is less
than the amount paid out for dam
ages the previous year. when the
total reached $22, ,105.19.
Payment of fees allowed under the
law for destroying the dogs and serv-
ing warrants totaled S31 ,32277. Other
expenses, such as license tags, sta
tionery, receipt cards, and In some
instances the sum allotted roads and
schools before the end of the year by
boards of supervisors totaled $751;
322.77. the total expense TO the To-
calities being s64,55S.50. leaving a bal
ance at the end of the year of $780,
9O5.5O to be applied to roads and
schools.
During the year a total Of 6,793
dogs were destroyed by the regular
wardens, making a total Of $500 dogs
destroyed since the enactment Of the
law in 1918. This does not include
dogs destroyed in the small towns and
by persons other than game wardens

Has No Confidence In Tips.

HAS I<O APPS.
Fl. J. H., 14th street, own 90 shares
Tobacco Products common at s68.5O
/ could have sold 1t on the last move
at $71 so, but was told to hold 1t for
higher price. l have not mach
confidence in tips.
Do you consider 1t a strong COM
pany, and is my money safe, or would
you take two or three points on the
next move and get out of 1t?
have some b. r. Goodrich common
at $66.50, Wilson & Co. common at
$82, and White Motor at SO.
Would you buy more to average, or
sell?
Answer-You state that you have
not much confidence in tips, and still
you want tips from US.
We have no more confidence in tips
than you have, and we do not know
any more than you do what these
stocks will sell for in the future. 1t
would be a guess at best.
Tobacco Products Corp. report of
sales in the first half of this year
showed substantial increases over the
preceding six months, that net profits
incrNas sed over 80 per cent and that
the company earned double the pre-
ferred dividend for the entire year in
the first six months.
This statement does not invite lower
prices for the stock, but on the con-
trary induces belief that it is in good
position to appreciate in market value
provided no setbacks occur. We think
you are inviting no danger If you
elect to hold.
Your Goodrich has halved in price,
and you have big loss in Wilson and
White.
Goodrich paid the last quarterly divi.
dend in February. and is not likely to
resume distribution even in the face
of the companys better position as
compared with 1.-The poor business of
the first four months, when II found
itself compelled to make heavy inven.
tory write-offs. 1t is not unlikely,
therefore, that the stock will remain
pegged around present level for some
time, thus making it an unattractive
speculation.
Wilson omitted the second quarters g
dividend of 1921 owing to last years
deficit of 81, SOL SOL. There is no pres
ent indication that earnings are likely
to improve to point where dividends
may be expected for some time.
White Motor is still paying 81 a
share quarterly, latest payment hav-
ing been made September 80. Last
year it earned S2 cents more than the
81 dividend, but carried over big in
ventories and bank loans. Since
March, however, bank loans have
been reduced $4,000, 900, and the COM
pany is reported to be selling trucks
faster than they can be produced.
We are inclined to think a sale Of
Goodrich and Wilson not inadvisable.
The money may be more profitably
invested.
We should hold Tobacco Products
and White Motor.

Business Boom Ahead for Washington
Employment Chart Just Issued Points

That the "B. Il. b." prediction OF
Roger w. Babson, statistician, de-
claring that Washington Is In for a
''big business boom" during the dis
armament conference, Is slowly ma
terializing is the consensus OF opin-
ion OF a number OF leading business
men OF the city, and is further con-
firmed today by a chart showing the
increase OF employment In the city,
issued by the National Personnel
Service. which supplies many bust
ness houses with high-grade office
assista nts.
Babson makes the statement that
the foreign delegates 20 the confer
ence will spend s2.0O0,O0O monthly
with Washington merchants. and. as
many of them will be on their first
visit TO this country and will there
fore want TO participate In the so.
cial pleasures and be free. in their
purchases, and In the chart shown
above the Personnel Service points
out that wide-awake business men
I'm the city are anticipating and pre-
pairing for the big business Mt hand
by securing competent aid In the
conduct OF their business.
Commenting further on the local
situation. MIR. Babson says:
washington faces a busy winter.
No definite information is available
regarding the number OF people that
will attend the disarmament confer
ence beginning November II, but
unofficial estimates place 1t In the
vicinity of 10000.
Within a few days the visiting
hordes should begin to arrive. They
will comprise not only official dcle-
gates. but their experts. assistants,
clerks. stenographers. translators and
the like. American visitors are also
certain to flock in by the thousands.
Altogether. then. Washington will
have a substantial growth In pobu-
lation of a class with liberal pur-
chasing power. II official guesses
are substantiated. the parleys will
keep the visitors here all winter"

n excellent example by setting aside
10. .O00, 900 for additions and improve

II all employers in a position to DC
so would demonstrate their confidence
in the business outlook, the unemploy
ment problem would not become a
menace. but would become entlreiy
mana geable.
A vast amount of building and
great many other improvements have
been delayed and delayed because oi
high labor and high material costs.
While certain arbitrary unions are
led by men who preach defiance OF the
inevitable trend toward lower cost
levels, wages have already been more
or less readjusted in most directions
Consequently, it is becoming pos

needed improvements, at least on
