The Rise in Bonds.
(BoSton News Bureau ]


 Now that the bond general market has resumed us forward march after month of hesitation and uncertainty it is interesting note the change thai has come over it's complexion in the last F months A year ago most financing distress" fnancne only corporations which desperately in need of funds were willing to borrow the prevailing high rates and even then investors timid about buying any but the strongest issues The banks were detin iely out of the market for bonds insurance cnpanies Were forced to devote large part of their funds to policy loans, individual investors had suffered paper losses on almost all their purchases of bonds ipclud- to add to their permanent investments
 With the late summer striking chanee in the situation. Frozen credits began to thaw com 1nercal paper rates declined and the banks began 10 seek longer term investments, investors became more confident and longer felt it necessary to maintain liquid reserve for emergencies The investing pub lie came into the bond market with more and moro eagerness The prophecies of rising bond prices which dealers had been making for many months were at last being fulfilled and bond buyers began finally to beeve that the low level of bond prices was in real lty the opportunity that but once in q gem grafton

liability in the first instance to the revenue authorities.
 The Bureaus interpretation of the statute ton of a schedule in all cases in which bought or sold If the taxpayers holdings were at any time during the taxable year in excess of the principae amounts the in terest on which is exempted, 1t Is obvious that there is no taxable interest. And on the other hand, if the holdings were not at any time during the year less than the eN- empted amounts, then the interest received such exempted amounts may be deducted from the total received, and only the re- mainder will be taxable The Bureau has let it be known that in such cases it will accept, in lieu of the detailed schedule of holdings by periods, statement that holdings continuously below. in excess of, the empted amounts the case may be; but it has fortunately not made it's requirements clear on the form itself.
 Not few investors found the determ- ination of taxable Liberty Bond interest on the 1918 forms too troublesome to warrant their continued holding of war obligations The forms for 1919 and 1920 in large meas ure obviated this difficulty. But the lack of simplicity and defniteness in the 1921 forms in this respect will annoy taxpayers, will vir- tually necessitate guesswork returns in many cases, and will tend to increase dissatisfac- tion with the administration of the income tax law. It is to be hoped that in the in- terests of simplfication some modification may be accomplished

Eleven Million Automobiles.
(New York Post ]

Little more than the evidence of ones own eyes is needed to convince of the amazing growth of he use of gas-driven vehicles It is not only that
 ity streets filled with automobiles, parked and moving, but every little crossroads country village has it's share well. The figures out hese observations impressive Only a quarter of q century ago there were just four automobiles in the United States Now there approximately H. 100000. Last year, which anything but a good year, witnessed increase of a million and half cars, IA F cent That such increase should have occurred in of depression is proof enoug gh of the utilitarian status of the automobile.
 The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce emphasizes the fact that the automobile as a pleas ure vehicle is entirely sub0rdnated it's uses in commerce. Recent figures show that 70 per cent Of the cars in at present less than 00O each and 94 per cent. less than $2 ,000 leaving a very small margin for the expensive limousine or the cost ly roadster It is estimated, too, that farmers own some 3OO0,O00 of the 11,000, 900 motors in use The influence of the automobile on farm life is a chapter of contemporary history that remains to be written It's social value has been of transcendent importance in breaking into the proverbal isolation of farm life
 The manufacture of automobiles is now in third place among the industries of the nation The in dustry still has painful readustments to go through The limits of the car-using public may be in sight Henceforth it is to be much problem of re placement as of finding customers But within that held the opportunities sufficiently great

THE COMING OF THE UNALGA.

The stationing of the United States Coast Guard Cuer Unalga at Juneau win be appreciated by the people of this section. It is unfortunate that the Government permitted the Coast Guard Service fleet to run down that cutter has not been here all the years intervened since he assertion of these in the early days of the century. Fiye six years ago the construction of five cutter authorized, and they have just been completed This is what has made is possible for the Treasury Department to carry out promise that was made than two years ago, to the frequent request that had been made from this Customs District for the assignment of cutter to Juneau, that the completion of the vessels that had been authorized should have one of the crafts.
 The location of the Unaiga Juneau will make safer water traffic in this region and it does not interfere with the rendered in other Northern waters. There will be reduction in the Bering Sea patrol Three staunch cutters will sail for the North for that purpose at early date

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

That this is of publicly and that there cannot be growth without advertising is generally recognized. The recognition is being emphasized by the churches of the country Dr. William D. Stidger, pastor Of St. Marks Methodist Episcopal Church of Detroit speaking in Chicago before the Council of Cities of the Methodist Episcopal Church. adopted for his thesis:
 How to obtain congregation for Sunday
 evening services? That's easy, advertise.
 He said by following this program in His own church and finding what people are thinking about and then talking to them about the things that are their minds his church has gathered record crowds.
 Dr. Stidger is not alone among the clergy in advocating this method of getting large congrega- tons. Most of the Saturday papers in the large cities of the Middest West Far West carry ex- tensive church advertising.
 While many of those of the churches do not believe in direct advertising, catering to the particular interest of the day yet fact remains that the experience of the churches has been very direct demonstration of the efficacy judcious ad- Fertising in newspapers It shows that advertisn ng IS good business, and, at least there is nothing ethically wrong ill advertising for business We can see nothing wrong, for that matter in churches ad- Nertising for congregations The competitors of the churches for the crowds advertise.

TAXABLE INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT
 OBLIGATIONS.

Lack of simplicity and defniteness in the 1921 tax forms will virtually necessitate guesswork returns on the part of many taxpayers who have bought or scld government obligations in the past year,, the National Bank of Commerce in New York says. The bank in the March number of it's magazine Com merce Monthly, declares that the new tax forms do not explain to such taxpayers how to determine their tax liability and it shows how the preparing their returns may in certain be minmized It says
 Taxpayers who have bought and sold
 government obligations during 1921 will find
 the new tav forms quite troublesome These
 forms require persons who have bought
 sold such securities during the year to at
 tach schedule showing their holdings by
 periods. In this respect the forms fall
 far short of the desired simplicity and even
 fail to make clear the prescribed method
 determining taxable interest government
 obligations.
 The bank points that the elaborate schedule of varying holdings taxable issues of war obliga- tions required the 1918 tax forms proved so difficult to administer that the Revenue Bureau abandoned it during 1919 and 1920 and based the computation of taxes directly the amount of in terest received
 The resulting smpication was hailed
 godsend by thousands of distressed
 taxpayers. The revision in the forms for
 1921 to the schedule of holdings by periods appears to be due to the Bureaus belief that its interpretation of the law in the 1919 and 1920 forms unwarranted, although that interpretation alone is adminisrativeiy practicable.
 Moreover-and unfortunately--the instructions forms 1e4O and 1920 fail to enghten the taxpayer to the required method of determining taxable interest on government obligations. The Bureau con tents itself with the directions If you have bought or sold during the year. attach state ment showing holdings by periods Inevit- ably many taxpayers must seek expert advice leave the determination of their
