INCOME TAX

Various penalties are imposed by the
statute for failure to file a return and
pay the tax on time, and for making
fraudulent return. Distinction Is
made between failure and "willful fail
ure" to file a return. For failure to
file return on time, the penalty is IS
per cent of the amount of the tax, I'M
less return is later filed and it is sat-
isfactorily shown to the commissioner
OF internal revenue that such failure
was due to reasonable cause and not
to willful neglect. If taxpayer exer-
cised ordinary business care and pru-
dence, and nevertheless was unable to
file return within the prescribed time,
the delay is due to reasonable cause"
For willful failure to make q return
the penalty Is not more than $4,000
or imprisonment for not more than
one year. or both, and in addition 25
per cent of the amount of the tax. For
willfully making a false or fraudulent
return, the penalty Is not more than
$4,000 or imprisonment for not more
than five years. or both, and in addi-
ton so per cent Of the amount of the

dividend of 81 a share, or 4 per cent
interest, upon the capital stock out
standing, payable April 10 to stock

out by the management that the earn

mately twice the amount Of the dividend
now declared, the company having de.
clared no dividend in 1929.

NEW YORK, March Considerable
Impotence is being expressed over the
slow pace of industrial recovery. The
pace, according to sound statisticians,
is not tagging. 1t simply has not at
tanned the speed that many hoped The
weather, the late Easter and the farm
situation have all been factors. but
none Of these is regarded as cause for
alarm.
On the other side of the picture is
shown the decided increase in the pro-
duction of automobiles, which came
somewhat as a surprise in view of the
gloomy forebodings earlier in the year.
Steel output is being splendidly main
tanned and the new orders for railroad
equipment are showing up in most
satisfactory volume.
Wholesale Trade.
The report of the Treasury Depart
ment and the Federal Reserve Board
on wholesale trade carries considerable
conviction because of the wide range
covered by reported betterments. For
example, farm implements, necessity,
showed a big sales increase, and so
did silk goods, which are not regarded
as a necessity.
The radio industry is doing better
in general, although some corporations
are in a decidedly precar:ous position.
Aviation is showing marked improve
ment in the case of the commercial
lines. For the first time in their his
tory the passenger planes operating on
regular routes have been booked full
and transportation corporations are
putting on additional machines to care
for the traffic. This is attributed to
the recent reduction in rates to APP
proximately the railroad fare and Pull
man levels.
Fuel producers are nearly all in a
state of uncertainty. Gasoline produce

AID
REVENUES OF FARM
Produce Part of Agriculture
Is Putting Industry on
Cash Basis.

By-products, which for many years
were turned over to the farmers wife
as spending money, are now putting
the farms OF the country on a cash
instead Of a credit basis. This was
shown by reports today from sections
OF the Middle West which indicated a
decline in credit purchases and cor
responding gain in cash sales by re-
tail merchants in the agricultural dis
trictS.
Men engaged in the food production
of the nation declare that the produce
end of farming is revolutionizing the
agricultural industry and packing house
business. The largest of the packing
concerns now has over a hundred
produce stations scattered throughout
the Middle West where poultry, eggs,
milk and cream are purchased for cash
from producers.
one of the big chain stores has
opened such a station to secure produce
for its own needs.
Example Of Packer.
This trend is still further indicated
in a report by one of the big packers
which shows that with the slaughter
of nearly 100000 animals last year
the concern did not make cent From
by-products, however, and from produce
the revenues we're sufficient to pay
per cent dividends on the capitaliza-
ton
Instead Of the haphazard marketing
of dairy products, the farmers of the
Middle West, and even of range States
such as Texas, are marketing their eggs
twice, a week for cash. separating their
cream from their milk and selling the
cream twice a week for cash, and feed
ing the SKINNED milk to hogs. chickens
and other animals. which are mar
keted at slightly longer periods but
all for cash.
All this has made a marked difference
in purchasing by the farmers. Instead
Of having to be carried on a credit
basis for IL months of the year, the
farmer Is now paying cash for what ne
buys. This has developed new buying
products have conferred. Developmtn
of roads and the use of the automobile
have helped this trend.
The increased production of butter
fat, which attained a tremendous
volume in 1922. has temporarily in
jured the statistical position of dairy
products. This is especially so in the
case of cheese and butter. AS a result
the condenser and evaporation and the
cheese and butter producer are heavily
overstocked
New Uses for Milk.
Farmers are being urged to Gull their
dairy herds sharply. In other words,
they are being instructed to "junk"
their least productive and least eff
Gent cows, with the assurance that
IL thew will do so thew will get as much
for the butterfat produced by the small
er herds as they now receive for heavy
production.
Further development of outlets for
milk and cream is in prospect. It is
likely that some of the chain stores
and the packers may enter the zee
cream field as manufacturers, whole
SalerS and retailers.

CURB SHARES RISE
IN ACTIVE TRADING
Market Shakes Off Irregu-

NEW YORK, March stimulated
BY easy money, favorable earning re-
ports and utility mergers, prospective
and actual, today's selective curb mar
ket under the leadership of utilities,
trusts, amusements and oils, worked out
Of its early irregularity into higher
ground.
Utilities Power and Light B was up
more than points and American q
Foreign Power warrants were up about
half that amount. Electric Bond d
Share, despite active dealings, showed
little change. Moves in the Southwest
natural gas fields improved natural gas
shares, which had to overcome con-
siderable profit taking as a result OF
their recent sharp gains.
Loew's warrants and debenture rights
were up l and 3 points respectively as
q result of the brisk run-up of the
common shares on the big board. Fox
Theaters A was active, but trit1e
lower.
Investment trusts and holding cor
porations met brisk bids that lifted
many to new high quotations for 1880.
The Goldman Sachs group were the
first to score new peaks as Blue Ridge
common, Goldman Sachs and Shenan-
doah common worked into new high
ground. Lehman Corporation, With
gain of more than five points, also
climbed to a new high mark.
Plans to curtail Oklahoma and Calf,
fornia crude outputs and to reduce re-
fnery operations in Texas and Okla
homa bettered the feeling toward oil
shares.
Humble Oil g. Refining again was the
feature of the Standard Oil group as
1t rose to a record high price. Vacuum
and Standard of InSiana braced, but
the lower-priced oils were dull.
Newmont Mining was the most prom
inent in the mines, hitting new peak.
Anglo Chilean Nitrate was up ia points
following reports of increased fertilizer
sales. Copper shares remained dull.

Liverpool cables and a continuation of
the covering movement responsible for

ness was only moderately active, but
ing and prices advanced to 14.S2 for
May and 1917 for october, making net
gains of about Is to II points on the

and the gain was not fully maintained
The market was comparatively quiet

Liverpool cables reported covering and
Bombay buying in that market. but said
home trade in cotton goods was quieter

RECOVERY IN u. S. INDUSTRIES
IS DECLARED ENCOURAGING

ers and distributors are cutting prices
in various sections. The so-called indie
pendentS are still fighting for q tariff

production is being urged and fought
by various factions. A six-day week in
the oil industry is proposed. Govern
ment suits in connection with mergers
and price maintenance still have to be
fought out.
Coal Industry.
The bituminous coal operators are
suffering from competition from cheap

The non-ferrous metals are doing
well, especially aluminium. Silver is in
the weakest position. Textiles, apparel

The modification of the Federal

lators will fight the board In the open

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, March Z CPl.-Advances
in wheat quotations today ran into
broadening out of selling pressure and
the market failed to hold gains. Weak
ness of corn and rye values resulted
from difficulties about storage room

of higher prices for wheat. Some i'm
provement Of European demand for
North American wheat was noted, sales
totaling about 100000 bushels, but most
of the business appeared to be wheat
