declaration of the regular pre-
ferred United States steel divi-

They point out that . write
down of fixed assets, against the

offset depreciation charges, which
otherwise constitute too heavy Q
burden against current earning
power. Such a move has already
been made by the United Fruit
Company, which has permitted
continuance OF regular dividends.

CH|DES,
THEN PRAISES
BANKERS

Albert w. Atwood, noted finan-
cial writer, last night told mem
bers of the District Banker Asso-
ciation, at their midwinter meet
ing in the willard Hotel, that 1t
is their duty to oppose cheap
money and all inflationary legis-
lation and movements, declaring: !:
1--WE must have elements
among the upper levels Of pOpu-
latiOn who are mot carried
away by fads, who keep .
fairly true perspective"
Chides, Then Praises
He chided the bankers gently,
saying he feared they were not
leaders in trying to check the
initiation in 192S-29, and asked:
"Are bankers really trying to
prevent further disastrous liqui-
datiOn nOw?"
He found some excuse for their
failure to provide bold leader
ship, however, asserting:
"They are acting as neces-
sary guardians Of that essen
tial stability and sanity which
Is Just as necessary as leader
ship.
Mr.. Atwood declared that the
Government, which in the be-
ginning had served q small agri-
cultural population and now
serves o great industrial nation;
which survived the Civil ard
World Wars, can find a solution
for its economic problems with
out revolution or ditatorship.

TAX HELD
ONLY WAY OUT
FOR BUDGET

Advocacy of O manufacturers
sales levy, expressed by secretary
Of the Treasury Mills in q radio
broadcast, was regarded today as
inpired by the White House, and
the opening gun in an admin
istration drive for such legiSla-
tion in O last ditch effort to
balance the Federal budget.
Mills pointed to the dem0rahz-
ing spectacle Of a government
living beyond its means and
warned that such practice runs
counter to the fundamental
principles that should govern the
management Of the public busi-
ness"
See Message Ahead
His statement was regarded IN
some circles as the forerunner OF
q long awaited presidential mes
sage on the sales tax issue, while
others regarded It as a substitute
for an executive message.
without the manufactures
excise tax it will be extremely
difficult to balance the budget,
since the field of new taxes has
been exhausted by the revenue
act Of 1882, Mills pointed out.
He remarked that the beer dill,
estimated to raise $12S, ,000, 600,
and the gasoline tax, to yield
$137, ,0O0, 600, would be insult
ficient to meet the governments
requirements.
Need Half Billion
Increase in revenue by $780,
00O, 900 and reduction of expendi-
lures by the same amount would
balance the 1894 budget exclusive
of public debt retirement, the
Secretary declared.
AS to the excise tax Mills said {:
at appears preferable to q
great variety Of discriminatory
sales taxes, which are just as
much consumption taxes as q
manufacturers sales tax. It
would be levied at low rate
and imposed ON such . broad
base as not to be truly burden
some to any class Of taxpayers.
1t is mot q novel form Of taxa
tiOn, but one which has given
satisfaction i'm Canada, where
conditions are mot fundament-
ally different from oars,
''The objections to it are
theoretical rather than practi-
cal. It is the most promising
source Of new revenue that we
can turn to ut this time to as
sure the safeguarding of public
credit"
