RAILROAD RATE REDUCTIONS.

Local railroad men scoffed at the
idea of any possible reduction in
freight or passenger rates. as reported
from Chicago. They maintain it would
be impossible for the roads to cut
their rates until basic wage rates are
reduced materially.
Since the roads face a long-drawn-
out controversy in their effort to do
away with the national agreements
and to reduce the wages of unskilled
labor, 1t will be many months before
they get around to reducing the basic
wage rate.
Railroad officials estimate that with
the national agreements done away
with, and with reductions in the
wages of unskilled labor, they will be
just able to earn the @ per cent
guarantee under the Esch-Cummins
act That is, they stipulate, in normal
times, and not under existing busi-
ness conditions.
After this has been done, they state
costs must be reduced another s225,-
10000 to allow a 8 per cent reduction
in freight rates and a further $780,
100000 before the recent 20 per cent
increase in passenger fares can be
done away with.

MIDDLE STATES OIL.

II. r. LII am considering
whether or not to purchase Middle
states OIL Stock. Please give me
what information you have regard
ing the company and state IL you
consider the stock a safe invest
ment
Answer-MiddIe States OIL stock Is
not a safe" investment. but has
every right to be considered an at
tractive speculation. Since IL was in
corporated four years ago by c. NJ.
Haskell. former governor OF Okla
homa. the company has made good in
large way from small beginnings.
Its present authorized capital is
$1G,000,000. OF which $500. 900 is out
standing: par, $40.
On December IS, 1920. the COM
pany had 1000 shareholders, COM
pared with LOO in December. 1919.
The dividend record would seem like
a fairy tale II IL were not true. Since
1918 the company has paid II per
cent per annum in cash. Also stock
dividends aggregating II per cent in
1918. 3S per cent in 1919 and 20 per
cent in 1920.
In the September quarter. 1920, the
latest available report, the company
earned S2.5S a share, at the annual
rate OF 1902, or more than 100 per
cent on par value.
Based upon present dividend rate
the stock yields 8 per cent exclusive
of extras, but IL is now likely that
the rate will be increased, as earnings
justify II and management is will
ing.

TAX ON CAPITAL ASSETS TO

Collection of income taxes on profits
realized from the sale Of capital as
sets will continue, Internal REV.
enue Commissioner Williams an
nounced today. until the constitution
ality Of that provision of the law has
been determined by the Supreme
Court, Notwithstanding the recent
decision to the contrary by Con-
necticut court in what was known
as the Brewster case.
"The same question" the commits
sioner declared. 'is involved in the
Eldorado and Ryerson cases, which
were argued in the Supreme Court
some weeks ago. A decision in those
cases undoubtedly will settle tho
general question. In view OF the
severe penalties provided by law for
false or fraudulent income tax re-
turns, taxpayers are warned not to
omit from their returns for the year

THE INEVITABLE CYCLE.

A peculiar characteristic of railroad
men and some Industrial leaders in
discussing readjustment is that they
want reduced costs. but want the
other fellow to do the reducing. Rail-
road men understand that the recent
Increase in rates Is causing some
shippers to utilize water routes as
much as possible, but they maintain
they cannot reduce until the others
help them with reduced costs. The In
dustrial leader says freight rates
keep up his costs, and they both
come down fat-footed on the laboring
man. who says all he wants is to feed
his family.

AMERICAN LINsEED PUZZLE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Wil the
American Iinseed Company sell con-
troll to Lever Brothers. Of England!
The financial district is wondering
as 10 the status Of this much dis
cussed plan. The latest rumor says
the plan is of, or at least indeh-
nitely delayed. Certain traders say
II Is on. ~,
Bayard Dominick, q director, says Il
don't know, 20 see Adams" Adams,
who ia president says-nothing, that
Is, for the public.
The plan, as reported. would give
common shareholders per cent

IL that is so, and the plan Is to be
put to stockholders at the annual
meeting a fortnight hence, why the
existing price for the stock? Also,
WHY the selling last week? Those
who say the plan is on also say the
stock il worth $40 a share. Those
who saw Il is off place It's value
nearer $35. as the annual report to be
made public March / Will show a fall-
ing Off in earnings.
All that Is definitely known Is that
the stock pays SO annually, the busi-
ness has been somewhat Influenced by
tho recent general readjustment Brit
isb interests are said to want control
and John ID. Rockefeller Is rumored
as stating he doesn't care II they get

auent decline when a SO annual pay

LABOR BOARD DECISION.

Refusal of the Labor Board to per-
init the railroads to abrogate national
agreements and to set aside the un-
skilled labor wage scale has increased
doubts over the railroad situation.
The Chicago sessions are bound to be
drawn out for weeks. Railroad ex-
ecutives are not feeling over-hopeful.
Delay of the Winslow bill In the
Senate is also annoying. and 1t Is
not likely to come UP now before
early next week. 1t Is thought that
it will be rushed through without
lengthy debate and that 1t will AFFORD
some relief to the roads.
