KELLER INTRODUCES 4: ].
FOUR REVENUE BILLS

Congressman Oscar E. Keller OF
the Fourth district of Minnesota has
introduced into the house four reve-
nue. bills.
The first bill repeats all existing
transportation and sales taxes except
those on tobacco, distilled spirits,
oleomargarine, habit forming drugs
and products of child labor. The bill
also repeats the excess profit tax and
the 10 per cent tax on the incomes OF
corporations.
The second bill amends the income
tax law so as to distinguish between
%earned", and "unearned" income.
The tax on *sunearned" income to-
gether with the super-taxes , is re-
tanned, but the tax on learned, IN
comes is cut in two. Earned in
come is defined as income derived
from rents of land or other roperty,
interest on mortgages, notes or bonds,
dividends on shares of stock whether
in the form of money or stock tdivi-
dends, and from any source other
than the labor. skill or BUSINESS or
industry personally. conducted Of the
person receiving, the income. TT =
The third bill amends. the inherit
ance tax. Beginning with estates of
$4,000 to $35, 900 there is a. tax fof
1 per cent; $35 900 to $4,000, 2, per
cent; $4,000 to oS15a,000,, q per
cent; 100000 ITO G $25O. 700, 6 per
cent? The taxes then graduate on an
increasing scale until the point Of
500, 100000 is reached, after which
the tax is 80 per cent. H..
The fourth bill provides for tax
of l per cent on land values in ex-
cess of $4,000, after exempting
buildings, and improvements, and in
the case Of farms, cost of clearing,
draining and maintenance of fertil-
ity. This bill aims to tax monopoly
holders of natural resources, val
liable "sites" in cities and the holding
of land out of use. The exemptions
are so applied to farms as to exempt
from taxation, according to Mr.. Kel-
ler's estimate, approximately SO per
cent of all actual farmers.

Some Of us, however, still go in for
serious amusements. A big moving
van was, parked against the curb Of a
cross-street the other day at the noon
hour. The driver and his helper
emerged from a little quick lunch
place around the corner, dived into
the van and brought out a mysterious
looking box. 1nen they sat them
selves down on the steps fan apart
ment house, unfolded what proved to
be a chess-board, set out the pieces
and plunged into the game. It was
hardly one Of those games of long,
studied, silences. The hour didn't
allow for, that. The O'Clock whistle
blew somewhere, the driver jumped
up, swept the pieces and the board in
to their box, and he and his partner
were on their way. ~. 49,:

low levels for the year. The passing OF dividends
by the Cambria and Republic Steels had dscourag-

TO lover levels
Mexican Petroleum indicated favorable earning
this wear but even this failed to advance the stock,
which was in the hands OF strong bear crowd Most
oil stocks remained firm. Rails showed decided
strength especially after the decision OF the Railroad
Labor Board favoring a wage cut. This action had
been expected and largely discounted as market
factor Prospective rail purchases are now awaiting
the announc OF the extent OF this wage cut ii
this should prove sucinet to justify better earning
expectations there should be a good rail market
Tobacco stocks among the few which showed
decided improvement during the week. Both Ameri'
can Tobacco and Sumatra showed market gains.
Total sales this week only 100000 shares
or over 1000 600 shares less than the week before
The bond market may be characterized as active
and firm for the week with some rreguarity towards
the end Liberty sales dropped off $I8.ooo.ooo com
pared with week ago, but other bonds maintained
about the same volume
The possibility OF $Ioooooooo French loan is
