FORD TAXCASE

WASHINGTON, April 19 P)-Au.
other step in the governments effort
to collect S30,OO0,O0O in additional
taxes from former Ford minority
stockholders was reached today when
voluminous briefs and arguments were
filed with the board of tax appeals by
the government and by Senator Cou-
zens, the Dodge heirs and others who
sold out to Henry Ford in 1919.
Filing of briefs is preliminary to
oral argument of the case, which arises
out of the governments reassessment
downward of Ford stock as of March l,
1913, as against the evaluation of
$9,489, pronounced by the bureau of
internal revenue when the transfer of
the stock took place. Counsel for
Senator Couzens and the other petit
TONERS took issue with the govern
ment's contention that the $9.4S9 paper
valuation was grossly excessive. They
also maintained that Commissioner
Roper's action did not bind the gov
ernment to use of that figure as basis
for computing the gains of such stock
holders as might sell their holdings,
as was maintained in the government
brief.
The facts in this record overwhelm-
ingly establish that the Roper valua-
tion and that the commissioner had
ample grounds upon which in the
proper exercise of administrative dis
cretion he might have found value
up to $12,500 per share as of March l,
1913, the petitioners brief declared.
No presumption arises in favor of a.
valuation placed by the present COM
missioner, it was asserted, and since
both he and his predecessor had ap-
proved the figure set by Commissioner
Roper it cannot now be questioned.
Inasmuch as the latter valuation is
presumptively correct, having been so
recognized, and there was no evidence
introduced at the hearing of gross
error, the board is asked to regard re-
opening the question as in conflict
with treasury orders which render it a
closed question.

In addition to chances of crop dam
age from sudden unreasonable cold
weather, reports of new widespread
heavy rains especially in eastern KAN
sas, had a particular bullish effect on
the wheat market In this connection
traders took note of an official state
summary telling of rank growth in
the eastern two thirds of Kansas and
pointing out that the crop prospect for
much of the western third was very
Indifferent. Delays to spring wheat
seeding northwest led also to increased
activity on the part of buyers, some
predictions being that seed operations

Announcement of 11,61S,000 bushels
falling off in the worlds available
supply of wheat tended likewise to
give an advantage to bulls and so, too,
did diminishing domestic receipts of
all grain. Toward the last, May wheat,
corn and oats alike displayed relatively
greater strength than other months,
the trade appearing to have recovered
from fear of big deliveries on May
contracts.

movements again lacked uniformity in
today's stock market but the general
undertone was firm in reflection of
easier call money rates. A sharp SELL
ing attack soon after the opening met
with good resistance, and thereafter
major speculative activity was on the
upside, with aggressive demonstrations
staged in a few specialties in which
important developments are believed to
be pending. The reduction in the re-
newal rate call money to per cent
followed by loans in the "outside mar
ket" as low as 3%, more than offset
the increase of over $22, ,000,0 jim
brokers' loans last week to a new
high level for the year. The days
business news was rather colorless in
character, although reports that flood
conditions had curtailed crude oil pro-
duction in the Seminole field undoubt-
edly stimulated the recovery in the oil
shares.
u. S. Steel common, which closed B
lower at rs, was again called upon
to absorb large volume of profit
taking, which invariably follows the
announcement of constructive news de-
velopments such as the intimatfon of
Chairman Gary of yesterdays stock
holders meeting that the Z per cent
dividend rate would be maintained on
the new stock. Republic Steel sold
down over a point on unofficial re-
ports that first quarter earnings would
fall below those of the corresponding
period last year. Most of the other
steels yielded fractionally.
General Motors responded to reports
that first quarter earnings would ex-
ceed $5 a share by touching another
new high record at 1888, closing at
1874 for net gain of l point. Yel-
low truck, a subsidiary, crossed 80 to
new peak, and Hudson moved up
nearly points, but Hupp duplicated
the years low on the publication of a
poor first quarterly report compared
with last year. White received better
support.
Marland, after touching a new low at
405s, closed nearly a point higher al
AZ. General Asphalt, California Pet
roleum and Houston also moved up a
point or so, and a number of others
improved fractionally. Coppers re-
sponded to stiffening commodity prices
under the leadership of American
Smelling, which showed net gain OF
over points Colorado Fuel crossed
81 to new peak on what appeared tc
be a renewal of pool activity and good
buying developed in a number of New
York department stores stocks on re-
ports of record breaking Easter busi-
ness.
Z. S. Industrial Alcohol was bid uT
nearly six points to 1919, coincident
with reports of a struggle for contro
between two groups of "insiders." Spe-
cial buying also took place in Air Re-
duction, American Locomotive, Eureka
Vacuum, International combustion, In
ternational Telephone, South Porto
Rican Sugar and Woolworth, severa
