UTAH SENATOR SAYS
TIME NOT RIPE FOR
TAX LAW REVISIONS
Agrees That Reductions
Should Affect All ReUe-
nue. Measures.

Washington, April 1f.-Bclief that
it would be inexpedient for Congress
at its December session to undertake
revision of the federal tax laws. was
expressed by Senator SmOot, Repub-
lican, Utah. who is in line for the
craftsmanship of the Senate finance
committee. after discussion today
of tax problems with President Hard
ing.
The opinion expressed by Senator
Smooth follows closely upon a state
ment made by Secretary Mellon fore
casting that the Treasury might renew
its endeavOrs TO decrease the surtax
rate from the present 30 per cent to
% per cent and also the statement
made at the White House that Presi-
dent Harding, in event of revision of
taxes. would prefer a reduction all
along the line.
Senator Smoot said he subscribed
fully TO the Presidents view that if
any reduction were made it should be
applied to all federal taxes.
He pointed opt that not until after the
payment Of the June installment of
income and other federal taxes would
il be possible to estimate in any way
the excess Of government receipts over
expenditures.
Present tax laws in the opinion OF
Senator Smoot were working salts
factorily and unless grievous faults are
found. he said, he personally would
prefer TO wait at least a year before
undertaking any revision.
Revision of the federal tax system
always affects business and lends un-
certainty TO the state of the business
world, the Utah senator said.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The stock market today held til CEN
ter of the financial stage and the
whole story of the market centered in
the reduction in oilsprices in the
, Pennsylvania and Kentucky districts
and the consequent break in the oil
shares.
This episode, however, was more i'm
portent as an immediate factor in
speculative calculations. than ii was as
consideration bearing upon general
business conditions.
1t has long been known that oil
production on the Pacific coast was
excessive and the cut in prices an
nounced Tuesday by Standard Oil of
California occasioned no surprise. But
it did constitute threat of increas-
ing competition for the eastern oil
producers and this was recognized in
the actioni of the Pennsylvania and
Kentucky oil interests today.
At the same time, while there is no
such over-production in other oil fields
as exists in the California region,
output has recently gone ahead of de-
mand and today's price cut had the
additional purpose of correcting this
condition before it became really seri-
GUS
The particular reasons why the
news had such an effect upon the
stock market were. first. because it
had not been expected and second, be-
cause in scarcely any other quarter
had the speculative campaign of a
month ago run to such lengths or at
tracted so wide following.
In the steel trade. there was fur
Their testimony that production had ex-
banded as far ms it will be likely to.
There appear to be slight slacken-
ing in production now due to the tli.
version of labor into other industries
which are willing to pay more. The
position in the steel trade. however.
is still altogether favorable because
prices Fave not risen to a degree suf-
ficient TO discourage new buying.

VIOLENT DECLINE OF
OIL STOCKS FEATURES
TRADING ON STREET
Rush to Sell Pennsylvania
and Kentucky Breaks
All Resistance.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York. April i1.-Another vio-
lent decline in the oil shares was the
feature of today's market.
Wall street was not prepared for
the 25-cent reduction announced in
Pennsylvania and the So per cent
cut in Kentucky crude oil prices, and
rush to unload these stocks, which
broke down all resistance, resulted.
Sentiment regarding the oil trade
seemed to have undergone a reversal
overnight. Instead of the optimistic
talk regarding the earnings of these
companies, everybody was speaking
about over-production and increasing
competition. The greatest losses in
the oil group were sustained by Hous-
ton and California Petroleum. But
the selling was quite as urgent in
Mnrland Oh. Cosden, Producers and
Refiners, Phillips Petroleum and
Sicily.
The extreme weakness in the oils,
necessarily afforded a rather severe

HEAVY RUNS FORCE
LIVESTOCK VALUES
SOMEWHAT LOWER
Demand Lacks Action in
All Branches of
Trade.
BY l.. c. GRUNDELAND.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
Chicago, April 11.-Supplies of cat
tie and hogs showed larger figures to-
day than week ago, but the sheep
run was about the same as last We'd
nesday. Demand lacked action in all
branches of the trade from the start.
All of the reported S14 cars of live
stock had arrived at the opening of
the trade. Big packers had about 300
hogs forwarded. from other trading
points, but nearly 1900 were held
over from the day before. About 800
sheep were received by packers and
the run was cut to 1000 after the
first rounds.
Receipts were 10000 cattle, $4,000
hogs, 1900 sheep, 2000 calves.
Cattle trade was not active, but
values were about steady for good
stock, while some of the medium and
palmer lots were weak. Some choice
yearlings went at s10.O0@10.15, with
bulk of beef steers at $S.25@9.50.
Cows and heifers were also about
steady, some strictly prime cows going
up to IS. Gamers and bulls were
slow at generally unchanged price lev
els. Calves were weak for vealers
with choice shipping lots steady. Out
siders paid $40 for choice animals, but
S7@S took good vealers.
Hogs were unevenly lower from the
start. Some of the early deals were a
nickel off, but later the trade was
more than 10 cents lower il many
spots, Choice light hogs sold at $3.50
MS.40 with 225m2O pound stock at
for the best. Good heavy
butchers made $S.00@S.10. Bulk of
butchers made SS.00@S.35. Some
plain packing stock went at-S7 with
good lots at S7.25@7.40.
Lambs were again weak. Sellers
asked strong values. and after slow.
start. the good stock held without
change, but palmer animals were
harly steady. Taken as whole, the
market for lambs was anywhere from
strong to weak. Choice shorn lambs
made So. but good animals sold at
S10.75. Sheep were steady on light

The Frisco has recently made ap-

White Motors.

The expectation is that White Mo-
tors for 1923 will report earnings al
most double the net income of approx
imately 81 in 1922. Last year the
company was operating ON an aver
age of 75 per cent of capacity while
now it is said the plants are practi-
cally at full capacity. The attention
which has been directed for several
months to the securities of other lead
ers in the motor truck field, has left
White more or less out of the public
eye. Moreover White has not had the
advantage of strong sponsorship in the
Street as has Mack Trucks. ,.t
