scribed by j. G. Erickson, Chicago, al
Q meeting Of industrial real estate spe-
CialistS called by the industrial property
division Of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards at st. Louis this
week.
The grouping of industries large OF
small, in q specialized industrial SUBJ
division often co-ordinates independent
industries in such a way as actually to
lessen cost Of production, Mr.. Erickson
said. It naturally attracts services OF
various kinds to the highly developed
areas. and so brings to every plant all
manner Of facilities such as express
trains, telephone services, banks and
postal stations, and of course railroad
switching, which it would not be pos
eible for the individual industry itself
to draw, he said.
Attracts Labor to Area.
This concentration also has the eff
feet of drawing a labor supply to the
area. Mr.. Erickson pointed out.
1.-THE organization developing an in
dIlStrial subdivision must not only pro-
vide an improved tract but also stand
ready to aid industries in financing the
building of plant. and it is often mu-
tually advantageous for the subdivision
company actually to construct the
buildings for the industries and then
either sell them outright or rent them
. over long term with option to pur-
chase
THE whole plan offers the incoming
industry a site already developed, and
leaves the industry free at a critical
period to devote its own energies to the
problems of moving and expansion.
1.-THE specialized industrial subdi-
vision creates a good environment both
for its employees. and this itself is
likely to result in greater production
and bigger profits.
Immediate Results Not Expected,
But the man who undertakes to de-
velop an industrial subdivision must not
look for his reward to come overnight.
Such a huge undertaking would be
considered to have made phenomenally
rapid strides if it reaches a producing
basis within a Swear period and some
highly successful developments have re-
Quired more than 20 years to reach
their maturity.
Land to be suitable for development
9s an industrial subdivision must have
elbow room and initial low value, but
It must be accessible to a railroad
right-of-way, preferably belt line. 1t
must be accessible to main highways. to
power lines, gas mains and telephone
trunk lines, and it must be accessible
TO growing community which can
furnish ample and dependable labor
supply"

tunes Of the McFarlands. and warns Rhoda
against answering the ad inquiring as to her
whereabouts. She says that it is the work

TAX WORKER, EXEMPT
EMPLOYER ON BONUSES

A decision yesterday by Frank K.
Bowers, collector of internal revenue,
states that workers receiving bo-
muses. from employers, even at
Christmas time, must pay income
tax on the bonus, whereas the en-
ployers need not pay this tax. The
decision makes the fact that the en-
ployer asks for tax exemption on
the bonus the deciding point as to
whether the worker is forced to pay.
The decision Gays:
at may be stated as a general
proposition that employees receiving
such payments are receiving income
in the nature of additional compen-
sation for services rendered their
employers, and that the amount of
such bonuses constitutes taxable in
come to the recipient and must be
returned as such in the year in
which it is received. This general
rule is subject to its limitations.
There may be cases in which an en-
ployer makes payment purely as a
gift, and without regard to the re-
lationship of employer and employee.

LEAGUE INVITES
ROOT TO WORK
ON court RULES
Part of Intrigue for
Imperialist Power

GENEVA, Jan. 1.-The League
of Nations has invited Elihu Root,
American expert on tricky intrigue
under cover of international law, to
assist it in remodeling the statutes
of the League of Nations World
Court.
The invitation is taken here as an
admission of bankruptcy by the
League heads ia their attempt to en-
gineer the U. S. membership of the
world court in such a way that it
will be subordinate to League au-
thority,
u. S. Wants Privilege.
The Coolidge administration is
willing to enter the world court,
with a certain proviso, called mo
5" (of a list of lesser provisos.) This
"No. 5" states that no decision shall
be binding on U. S. unless accepted
by the U. S. State Department, and
places the Wall Street empire in the
position of having full rights to die
tate thru the court to other coun-
tries, but unwilling to accept any die
tation itself.
The appeal to Root is taken as a
request for further negotiation, and
perhaps the beginning of diplomatic
quarrel which many strengthen the
nosition of the Taapue in the oninion
of European populations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. - The
acrid shipping war launched for con-
troll of the New York-Havana pas
senger traffic by the U. S. Ship
ping Board and American companies
who openly express their intention
to drive British interests out of the
field, has it's lighter moments.
Yesterday, Director T. V. O'Con-

British Cunard line in New York,

them which sounds like the comic

lying when he says that the Ship

One of the most daring war prep
aration measures now pending be-
fore the House military affairs COM
mittee is that to permit the Secre-
tary of War to place with private
manufacturers educational orders
for production of arms and arma-

These educational orders consist
of artillery ammunition, bombs, gun
carriages, searchlights, airplane
bomb sights, etc. AS a blind by
sponsors of this legislation, it is
claimed that these peace-time "edu-
