i. s. MAY ASSESS
OWN GASOLINE TAX
Fight Involving Rights Of
States as to Proper Levies
Appears Imminent.
BY JOHN F. MILLER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 1s.-For the
first time, the Federal Government has
issued sharp warning to the States
not to encroach upon certain sources Of
revenue. If the States continue to
adopt tobacco tax, the Government
may have to retaliate by adopting
gasoline tax, according to statement
by Ogden L. Mills, undersecretary of
the Treasury.
This is something which tax experts
have expected for some time, one of
them said today The real battle over
taxation will be something more than
tWo-party affair, he said. The Federal
Government, the States, the counties
and municipalities all require more
revenue, and 1t will be very difficult for
them to keep from stepping on each
others toes" unless some agreement
on the subject is reached.
Mr.. Mills suggested general survey
and an informal division Of the sources
which each of the governments may
use. A few States, for example, Cali
fornia, Pennsylvania and Virginia, al
ready have a scheme under which the
State itself and its various subdivisions
are not permitted to impose the same
kind of tax.
Favors Coordination.
There Is no question that Mr.. Mills
idea will be received with enthusiasm
by the principal taxpaying corporations
of the country. Millions of dollars
could be saved If the taxing activities
Of the country were properly co-ordi-
mated, one of them declared today.
I'VE pay taxes to the Federal Gov
ernment, to the States, counties, cities,
villages, towns, school districts, light
ing districts, water districts and sewer
districts" he said.
I'VE pay income taxes, property taxes,
capital stock taxes and dozens Of
license and occupation taxes. We
make hundreds of reports and pay
hundreds of taxes most of which re-
quire careful supervision because OF the
| drastic penalties involved"
Gov. Roosevelt of New York voiced
the same thought when he pointed out
how difficult it was for taxpayers to
keep informed as to how the money
which they paid to the various sub
divisions Of the State government was
actually spent.
One point which Mr.. Mills did not
mention is of peculiar interest. Some
of the States contemplate increases in
their income tax II the Federal rates
also are increased this year it is apt
to result in a real hardship In many
cases. That is one reason why some
Of those who profess to know think
there is good prospect that the in
crease In the Federal rates will not be
made retroactive. In other words, the
tax which must be paid on or before
March Is will be st the present rates.
Estate Tax Stands Alone.
In only one instance is there any CO.
ordination of the Federal tax system
and the systems of the 48 States. That
| Is in connection with the estate tax. In
effect, the Federal Government allows
| the States rebate of part Of the
Federal tax. Under Secretary Melons
plan, which he has submitted to Con-
gress, the States would get no rebate
on any increases made in the present
estate tax rates.
At the time MI. Mills raeds his state

NEW YORK, January 1s.-The cur
rent size Of municipal debts Is without
precedent, 1t Is asserted in an analysis
issued today by Moody's Investors Serv-
ice. The survey states that the public
debt of the United States since the
World War, excluding Federal obliga-
tions, has increased from approximately
$4,000, 100000 to $17,000,000, 900. 1t
cites national automobile spree" as
one of the causes of this rapid growth.
The remedy, Moods declares, is the
same as that used by corporations,
namely, sharp cut in operating ex-
penses and this may involve reduction
in wage scales of municipal and State
employees.
1.-THE current controversy between
Mayor Walker and prominent bankers
as to the possibility of a substantial
loan for New York City relief lends par
ticular timeliness to the discussion of
municipal finances" the survey con-
tinues. For New York City the indi-
cation Is that real estate tax collections
have held up fairly well, and the city
has not previously had as much trouble
as many others in placing short term
loans, although 1t recently paid 5la per
cent. II, for example, the city should
release that large portion of the debt
issued for transportation purposes from
the recourse to the tax levy, 1t might
not need to reduce other operating ex-
penses."
Individual Citizen Blamed.
Moodyts places the responsibility for
archaic methods, inefficiency and
carelessness in the handling of funds
directly upon the individual citizen, who
it accuses of little grasp of the prob
lens Of public finance. City or county
government, according to the analysis
may control the salaries and wages OF
only portion of the officials and en-
ployes.
Reverting to specific instances of lax
ity upon the part of taxpayers, the sur
vey turns to an authorization by the
State of New Jersey of $500 ,0o0, 600 ir
highway bonds, made In 1890.
AT the election the vote was light
and not all voters acted on the refer
endum," Moody's says. THUS q mere

FARM PURCHASING
PROSPECTS LOWER
December Crop Report
Shows Value About Half of
Two Years Ago.
BY CHAS. r. SHAEFFER,

Assocfated Press Business Writer.
TIE American farmer will not be per-
mitted to participate in any substantial
measure In efforts to restore prosperity
through spending during 1882.
This becomes readily apparent from
perusal of the December crop report
of the Department of Agriculture, which
shows production and farm value for
last year. The report indicates total
only slightly In excess of $4,000, 600, 900
for the years production, or about one
half the amount realized two years ago.
This figure, however does not include
the entire farm income. There are
many additional sources Of revenue to
the farmer including poultry and live
stock, which yield considerable TO those
who follow agricultural pursuits. In
addition. any increase In the December
level for crop prices would mean fun
gains to large proportion of farmers
who still have their harvest intact
Production Of many crops was on .
wider scale during 1881 than for the
two years previous. Cotton Is estimated
to have been produced last year to the
extent of 16,00o,0o bales, or 5000, 900
more than In 1880 and 2,000, 900 more
t1an III 1879. ne value, IioNcfei, oii
the basis of December prices, amounts
to only slightly more than two-thirds
of its value two years ago.
The same argument also applies to
wheat. 1t is 1,imated that 100000
additional bushels raised in 1881. as
compared with 1929, had a value of
only one-hah that of the 1929 crop.
Leading economists argue that while
the ultimate consumer enjoys great
benefit from lower prices he pays for
food and clothing, the saving does not
compensate for the purchasing power
lost by the farm group. They argue
that business recovery Is dependent In
large measure to "a closing up Of the
gap between farm prices and the price
of finished goods

ment Solicitor General Thacher and
Senator Gore were engaged in an argu-
ment in the Supreme Court as to the
right OF the Federal Government to tax
income from the operation of oil leases
granted by the State of Oklahoma. AS
matter Of fact, practically every other
State tax case argued before the Su-
preme Court this term involves some
similar question. Apparently the old
question of States rights has "bobbed
up" again, this time in new form, but
the fundamental difficulty Is the same
as 1t was 100 years ago.

CURB IRREGULAR II

Prices Finish Week Lower
After Week of Active

b JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 16.-After a
week of activity and strength, the Curb
Exchange session finished irregularly
lower on reduced volume today. The
market at times made a feeble display
Of firmness.
Electric Bond & Share and Cities
Service both eased while Standard Oh
OF Indiana was comparatively steady.
Penn Road Corporation yielded slight
ly near the end. Mead johnson was
up a point. Deere g. Co. near the close
regained a part of its earlier decline.
The lower opening probably reflected
publication of the weekly retail trade
reviews, which indicated disappofnt-
ment over the clearance sales, due
doubtless to the unseasonal weather, a
further gain in commercial failures and
the reactionary tone of the overseas
markets, especially London.
Seeman Bros, which was ex-dividend
today, readily made up the dividend as
the quarterly report showed earnings of
sl.12 share against S1.23 in the third
quarter of 1880. Other food shares, ex-
cept for some little buying in Swift 81
Co, were dull.

NEW YORK, January 16.-Retail
sales declined sharply during the past
week, according to the weekly survey by
the Fairchild Publications. Unfavor-
able weather retarded demand for heavy
weight merchandise, especially in the
Atlantic Coast States and the Middle
West
Considering weather conditions, con-
sumner responses to January clearance
sales has been comparatively favorable,
especially the movement in units. To-
tai sales in units hardly show a decrease
of more than per cent.
Final data on retail prices for Decem-
ber show one of the sharpest monthly
decreases for the current deflation. Re-
ports for January to date indicate a
continuation of the declining trend in
retail prices.

DENIES HOOVER
 MADE FORTUNE
 THEN LOST IT
Edgar Rickard, Persona Friend, Makes State
 ment on Finances

NEW YORK, July 3.-A denial that Herbert Hoover made large sums of money before 1914 and that his fortune dwindled through unfortunate investments in recent years, was carried yesterday by the Dow Jones Ticker Service.
 The depial was made by Edgar Rickard, described as close friend of Hoover who handled his per- sonal accounts for Il years.
 Rickard said that when Hoover became Secretary of Commerce he closed out his investments and general business and invested in bonds since and has had no busi- ness transactions of any kind.
 Rickard added that Hoover never made or lost sums attributed to him in some quarters.
 Rickard did not refer to the re- cent magazine story telling of Hoovers purported investments and losses.
