STAND Of ROADS
ON RATE POOL
IN DOUBT
Prosperous Railways to Balk
at |. C. C. Proposal, Report;
See Plan Contrary to Law

The proposal Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission condition
ing its freight rate increase pro-
gram on a pooling Of the poten-
tial gain Of $125, ,000,0 900 in rev
enues, may be rejected by the
railroads, it was reported here
today.
The prosperous roads have stub
bOrnly resisted every effort to
have them pool their resources
or share their revenues with the
weaker carriers.
Basis Of Opposition
They have opposed such a plan
on the ground it was contrary to
the interstate commerce act,
would be costly and in opposition
to the principles Of valuation en-
bodied in the law.
The plan to stabilize railroad
securities was proposed by the
commission as an alternative after
&c had unanimously denied the
carriers petition for flat in
crease Of Is per cent in rates.
The increases are proposed for
only . limited period.
The increased rates will be con-
ditioned upon arrangements be-
tween the railroads for the pool
ing of the revenue accruing from
the suggested increases to enable
them to meet their fixed inter-
est payments.
Products Excluded
The commission specifically
stipulated there should be no
increase in rates on certain agri-
cultural products and live stock,
including wheat, corn, oats, flour,
cotton, orchard products, pota-
toes, rice, grapes, sugar beets,
dried beans and peas, barley, rye,
logs and railroad ties.
Under the plan the railroads
may have an increase of SO per
car on bulk freight such as coal
and coke, ores, forest products,
stone and gravel.
An increase Of So a car will be
allowed on shipments Of pig iron,
rough and finished stone, crude
petroleum and scrap iron and
steel.
On oranges, grapefruit, lemons,
lines and citrus fruits, melons,
cabbage, tomatoes, certain fresh
vegetables, dried or evaporated
fruits, dried vegetables, peanuts,
cottonseed meal and cake, COM
mon brick. lubricating oils and
greases, petroleum oils, refined,
and all other gasoline products,
and cement, an increase of ! cent
o 100 pounds will be granted.
Commission Optimistic
On all other commodities, in
cluding all leSs-than-carload
freight, there may be an increase
of 2 cents a 100 pounds.
The increases proposed by the
commission also may be applied
to rates Of the boat lines sub
ject to the Interstate Commerce
Act.
The commission sounded an
optimistic note for the future Of
the railroads, and held their
economic structure was funda-
mentally sound.

! extent because Of the immunity which
these obligations have from normal In
come taxes.
It Is believed that an effort will be
made at the next session Of Congress
to increase the higher brackets Of the
present income tax law and to mate
rally advance the amount OF inherit
ance taxes. The publication recently
of the schedules Of the Whitney estate,
indicating q fortune amounting to
quarter Of a billion dollars, made a
when there is 60 much unemployment
and distress throughout the country.
It seemed to Stock Exchange houses
last year that every one who had losses
on securities must be taking these
losses, in view of the great amount OF
liquidation and exchanging that occur
red between october and the closing
week Of December. The effect OF this
was conspicuous in the Is per cent de-.
cline in income tax payments TINS year.
with many individuals who formerly
paid thousands of dollars annually in
taxes showing practically no tax
accrued on their 1880 schedules. How
ever, additional losses have occurred
during 1881, when the average Of rails
and ir1dustrials especially has declined
much Below that of last year, so that
again Gnere eXlSCS IN C1e CufTcnI 1Qul-
dating movement the element Of stock
sales to establish income tax losses and
to relieve holders Of securities from all
but nominal payments in 1881. This
fact is one that the Treasury Depart
ment is considering earlier and with
greater attention than 1t did q year
ago, when it was inclined to minimize
such sales in the amount Of income tax
estimated to be paid this calendar year.
The selling naturally has been
heaviest in railroad stocks and railroad
bonds because of the greater percentage
of decline in them this year than In
industrials. There has also been an
exchange Of rail stocks for public utili-
ties at about the same price and yield
and also of individual rail stocks whose
dividends have been passed or are
insecure for the shares Of other carriers
that have been able to go through the
depression with a better record for net
operating income. In numerous cases
institutions have been selling railroad
bonds rather than marking down their
prices in order to obtain the tax benefit

NEW YORK, September 8.-Bonds
We're generally lower today; but, con-
sioering the sharp bear attack on stocks,
the investment market gave an excel
lent account Of itself. Losses were con-
nned TO or 2 points for the most part,
and at each steep dip in already over
sold speculative railroad and other do
mestic issues there was unmistakable
evidence of support.
The Street was chiefly concerned with
the British situation and the tone Of
Labor day speeches in this country.
The prospect OF increased taxation,
either in the form Of income tax or a
direct tax on fixed income securities,
drove down high yield second-grade
bonds and made more acute than ever
the demand for tax-exempt or partially
tax-exempt bonds like Governments,
municipalS and high-grade corporation

by the debtor company.
United States Government 1ong-term
issues were turned over at steady prices.
The market for the new IS, on which
allotments will shortly be announced,

the municipal market, bids on as high
as 3.35 per cent basis for New York
States Is indicated record price for
the 100000 issue which the State
will auction on September Is. Other

In the corporate list, firmness or
small gains appeared in such bonds as

In the rails Steadiness was displayed
by some issues. Among them were
Allegheny IS Of 1949, Baltimore & Ohio

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September S.-The
threat of higher income taxes next
year on the earnings Of individuals and
corporations is already having its effect
In the way of preference shown for
tax-exempt over taxable securities and
the beginning Of another movement
similar to that in the last quarter Of
1880, when owners of stocks and bonds
sold them in large amounts in order to
establish losses.
There was much food for thought
along this line in the various express
sions of Labor day speakers throughout
the country. A number of them voiced
the opinion that the rich men OF the
United States would be looked to to as
sist this Winters unemployed. In some
instances this was recommended in the
form of direct gifts to the welfare work
in communities and in others by means
of raising the upper brackets in the in
come-tax schedule. The statement of
Senator William Borah that there is
only one thing to do, and that Is to
feed the people from the Treasury of
the United States and increase the in
come tax, particularly in the higher
brackets" was the subject OF much dis
cusSion.
Supporting this general idea was the
opinion today of John Moody, who
might be termed a Wall Street man, to
the effect that If the United States is
| to lead in recovery 1t must first consid-
er certain sacrifices, among which are
increased Federal revenues from taxa
ton and a reduction in the tariff. Mr..
Moody points out that the tax burden
in the United States is not comparable
to that imposed on European countries
since the war and that a temporary ad-
vance in Federal taxes would 60 long
way to re-establish conditions through
out the world, as 1t would be associated
with a reduction of war debts.
For weeks the major business Of many
investment houses has been in tax-ex-
empt bonds. The demand for such is
sues has been associated not only with
the element Of prime security in them
at q time when investors have ques-
toned the worth of many corporation
issues, but with the exemption privilege
which these bonds enjoy from income
tax payments. Subscriptions to the
various issues of Treasury obligations
and to the long-term Government bonds
also have-peen made to . considerable

DIVORCE STILL
CHURCH PROBLEM
AT CONVENTION

DENVER, Sept. 20. (UP)-A secret
session of a committee Of six, three
members Of the house of bishops and
three of the house of deputies, at
which, it was reported, a compro-
mise on the controversial divorce
canon had been reached, held the
interest of Episcopalians here today.
With the 50th triennial conven-
ton Of the church nearing its close,
the divorce canon appeared destined
to go down as unfinished business.
Liberals in the church who pro-
posed to permit priests of the church
to remarry divorced persons under
certain conditions, had not suffi-
cient strength to bring about their
plans, but were abe to keep the con-
servatives from any complete vic
tory in the question.
The house OF bishops yesterday
voted to hold the next convention
at Atlantic City, N. j., in 1884.
