Motor Route to
Tampico.

A broad new highway, opening up
a vast territory for San Antonio
through motor transportation, not
only in the Valley but in the Tam
pico oil fields as well, is being con-
tcmplatcd as a, result of announce
ment made that the Mexican govern

Brownsville to Victoria, lamps, as
soon as the Mexico City-Laredo high
way is finished. This will give San
Antonio two motor trunk highways to
Mexico.
X. b. Creager, returning from
trip to Mexico City and a conferences
with President Gales and his cab
met, announced Monday that steps
are being taken to assure road from
Matamoros to Victoria, with the adj

construction work, efforts should be
made here to assure a direct motor
road from San Antonio to Brownsville,

NEW YORK, February TN the
financial situation OF the past week
the principal incidents have been the
part of the Stock Exchange list, the
lowering of money rates, the severe
reaction in wheat and other grains
and the dullness and further sagEing
tendency in cotton.
Call money is lending at per cent,
whereas a week ago 1t stood at 3h
The Interpretation properly to be
placed upon this is that the Wall
Street speculation. big as 1t has been
for the last three months and, on
account of the great rise in prices,
involving much larger credit require
ments, has so far not disturbed the
money market. The same is true of
the other leading influence, namely,
gold exports. Gold shipments have
reached total which would have
been regarded as very high before
the war, but in view of the fact that
gold supplies in the United States
increased $50 per cent between 1914
and 1924, this outflow has had no
effect at all.
Several Factors SUSTAIN stocks.
Stocks have maintained a generally
upward tendency, partly because of
the encouragement derived from the
action of the money market, partly
because business prospects are COM
monty described as good, and partly
because of the sheer inward force
which comes with prolonged rise
in prices. Nobody OF experience
would say that the present situation
was not risky.
Still, there is a lot of difference
between a statement of this sort and
a frank prediction that the rise is
nearing it's end. One has to remem-
ber that in the big swings OF recent
years, whether upward or downward,
the market, borne on by Its own

YOUR INCOME TAX
Expert Advice Given by United

Based on Latest Changes
in Legislation.
ARTICLE NO. Is.

The tax on dividends is an impor-
tant item in the returns of many tax
payers. A dividend, as defined by the
regulations under the revenue act of
1924, comprises any distribution in
the ordinary course Of business, even
though extraordinary in amount,
made by a corporation to it's share
holders out of its earnings or profits
accumulated since February %, 1913.
While dividendx are generally paid
in cash, they may be paid in securi-
ties or other property. For example,
corporation may distribute among
its stockholders securities in which 1t
has invested it's earnings Such Sc
curities, no matter what their nature,
are to be reported as dividends by
the stockholders at the fair market

A taxable distribution made by q
corporation Is income to the stock
holders as Of the date when the cash
or property was unQualifiedly made
subject to their demands, regardless
of when the earnings or profits out OF
which they were paid were accumu-
lated. Cash dividends, in the hands
of the individual, while exempt from
all normal tax, are subject to the

The Supreme Court has held that
the issuance of its own stock by q

cihcally provides that q stock divi-

INDUSTRY EXPANDS

BABSON PARK, Fla, February T.
In my annual review Of business In the
East I have made a study of Maryland.
A small amount Of unemployment Is re-
ported In several OF the larger cities in
this State. However. industrial activity
is increasing slightly from month to
month. Seasonal curtailment Of such
work as road construction, and to a GER
tain extent of building programs. has af-
fected small number of laborers,
chiefly unskiiled workers.
Conditions I'm Virginia.
Very little change has yet occurred In
industrial conditions in Virginia. Prac-
tically all the major Industries are op-
Grating on satisfactory schedules, with
normal quotas of employees engaged. A
small amount of unemployment is re-
ported in some cities, but this In mere
or less expected at this time of year.
Building construction continues on q
rather large scale.
West Virginia Improves.
The general Industrial situation in
West Virginia continues to improve.
There is a surplus OF unskilled labor
In some districts, largely due to the
suspension of road building. The de-
mand for miners In most of the coal
mining Helus Is increasing. ana the
large surplus of this class OF help,
which has been so apparent the last
Few months, is rapidly decreA sing
With the Increased movement of coal,
railroad shops are again operating on
full-time schedules. Building con-
tinues fairly active, especially in the
larger cities
Long View Encouraging.
The net result OF these facts is
that conditions are slowly improving,
but that the Improvement has thus
far been slight in most lines. I, how
ever, am optimistic for these States
as to the next two years. II the
chart OF United States business con-
ditions, which now stands at per
cent above normal, continues to hold
up to this figure, these industrial
states must prosper.
This Is especially true In view of
the improved European situation.

Scare Over Wheat UAjsstified,
The conclusion to be drawn from
the past week in the wheat mark ct
is that the scare over serious
shortage has been exaggerated. Not
enough thought was given to the
natural law which is that with the
price above the - mark, Europe is
bound to cut down its purchases and
use substitutes as 1t has numerous
times before. The break in the more
distant options, representing the
1926 harvest, has In view the 1ikeli-

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS

FUNDAMENTALS ovERLooKEh

FUNDAMENTALS OVERLOOKED
The trader who makes his living
or tries to make living, by buying
ana selling speculative stocks is
taught In the primary class ito run"
at the first sign Of danger. If he
does not learn this lesson he doesn't
last long enough to take the next.
But the misfortunes OF the specu-
lator are often the opportunities of
the investor. It is commonly believed
that Wall street traders have mo-
nopoly of financial wisdom and that
they always buy stocks at the low
points and sell them to the confiding
investor at the highs. This idea Is
considerably exaggerated. AS proof.
take the record of the number of
stockholders of the United states
Steel Corporation and, studying them
over q period of years, 1T will be
found that when the price of United
States Steel common is low the num-
Der Of shareholders invariably in
creases and, contrarywise, when the
price is high the number decreases.
In other words, 1t is the specu1ator
who buys at the high prices and the
investor who sells.
All these fundamentals are over
looked by the speculAtor when. he
comes to invest money. II the mar
ket price of the security he has
picked out should happen to decline
after he has bought it he becomes
panfc-stricken and wants to sell inn
mediately, forgetting that in invest
ment 1t Is value, and not price, that
is the important thing. The investor
does best when he buys when other
people want to sell, always provided
that there is rea. merit back of the
Investment.
