TRADING
ROOMS CROWDED
Investors Anxious to See
Results of Roosevelt
Silver Plans.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

All the New York Stock Exchange
board rooms in Washington were crowd
ed at the opening of the market today,
traders and investors being anxious to
see the results of President Roosevelt'S
sllver-buying announcement on quota
tions. especially on those in the silver
group.
Traders saw an opening in which
many stocks rose sharply above last
nights close. Nearly every issue on the
board was higher, while there was a
tremendous increase in volume. Shortly
before the tape started telling the days
market story, the announcement Buy
ers around the room reached here dl-
rect from the exchange floor In Wall
street.
Most brokers in this city expressed
enthusiasm over the Presidents silver
move. They say it will be helpful. The
probable increase in foreign trade with
China, India and other countries using
silver was especially stressed. The help
to the silver mines was, of course, an
other big point. The silver stocks
opened strong and their strength helped
a great many other issues. The an
nouncement on the purchase and COIN
age of the white metal came as COM
plete surprise to brokers everywhere. al
though action taken at the London Con-
ference meant that some move must
be made sooner or later.
r. Little but silver was talked about in
the brokerage houses here today. The
coinage ratio is SO to l. 1t will take
many more exchange sessions to lndl-
cate how far-reaching the policy will be.
The price of gold was S34.06, unchanged.

Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Sept 19.-Na-
tional and state lawmakers are ask
ing. How much tax can the liquor
traffic bear?"
Now that it practically is certain
that the eighteenth amendment will
be repealed Dec. 5, the day the
thirty-sixth state ratification will be
held, fiscal experts are looking to-
ward legalized liquor trade as a
means for replenishing funds.
Prior to prohibition, state gov
ernments as a rule refrained from
taxing the liquor business, leaving
that field Of taxation to the federal
government.
But. with empty state treasures.
unbalanced state budgets and top
ping state credit. it is likely that
a vast majority of the states will not
pass up this new source of revenue.
Just as congress two years ago could
not resist the temptation TO tasted
a federal tax Of l cent a gallon on
gasoline, which previously had been
reserved for state taxation. the state
governments now are demanding
their share of liquor taxes.
It is this dual taxation which
some friends of repeal fear will per-
petuate bootlegging.
Federal Tax S1.1O
Tho yDraeav,f FaJaror To-, -, ~, ;rI-,,
is $1.10 a gallon, and that is the
tax that will be in effect from the
day national prohibition is abolished
until the day congress enacts a
new liquor excise schedule. Unless
a special session is called. congress
will not convene until January, a
month after the date of repeal.
Already there is strong demand
for higher federal taxes on liquor
Proposals range from 1920 to Sc a
gallon.
The state taxes will be in addi-
ton to the federal levy.
In nine states, liquor control laws
to become effective upon repeal al
ready have been enacted. In all of
these except two-Nevada, where
licensing is left to the communities,
and Montana, which establishes a
state monopoly-high license fees
are assessed against distillers, brew
ers, winners and wholesalers and
retailers OF intoxicating beverages.
Five States Have Tax
In five of the nine-Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware. New Mexico
and Rhode Island-state sales or
excise taxes are provided. No di-
rect taxes are levied in Arizona,
Nevada, Montana or New York.
With bootleg corn and rye whis-
ky, some of it good quality, selling
at from SO to 81 gallon in many
places, it follows that bootleggerS
will be able to underbid legal liquor
dealers if the tax load is too heavy.
Colorado has a direct tax of 3
cents a gallon on beer. cents a
pint on wine and 10 cents a pint
on spirits, the proceeds to go into
the old age pensions fund.
Connecticut has a retail sales tax
of 4 per cent and a wholesale sales
tax Of l per cent.
Income Is Taxed
Delaware has a tax of 81 barrel
on beer, 40 cents a gallon on wine,
rs cents a gallon on spirits of less
than IS per cent and 81 a gallon on
alcohol to be used for beverage pur-
poses.
New Mexico's tax is a levy of 25
per cent on the net liquor sales in
come of retailers in excess OF %
per cent of the gross sales, levy of
Is per cent of the net income OF
wholesalers in excess of IS per
cent of the gross sales. a per cent
gross receipts levy against man
ufacturers and IS cents a gallon
on wine.

Contract Bridge
BY w. z. M,KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

A TOGETHER too many hands
L are lost due to nothing but
carelessness. How often, when a
hand goes down, have you not seen
the declarer size it up and say,
Well, if I get a break. or II one of
these illnesses work for me, my con-
tract is I'M"
But when you are playing in tour
nament you should figure on the
worst possible breaks.
For example, in the following
hand, the declarer should say to
himself. "Supposing the spades do
not break and the diamond and
spade fnesse are both wrong. Can
l still make my contract"
South passed, and West bid one
spade. With this five and one-half
trick hand, we do not recommend
anything more than an original bid
of one.
Original forcing two bids in the
constructive one over one system Of
bidding must be made only with a
hand containing no more than three
losing cards-in other words, you
must be able to make game if your
partners hand contains nothing but
deuces.
With less than that, open with a
one bid and your partner will give
you a chance by bid of at least one
no trump if he has anything at all
Therefore, when West opens with
one spade, North will pass and East
should bid two spades-his hand is
not strong enough for jump to
three spades.
WEST should now make a slam
w try bid of four spades. No
tice that jump to game. with this
system, is not sign-o is a
definite slam try. East can now bid
