 Examination of the 45 bids showed that all competing airlines had offered to renew operations at lower rates than were paid under siNir former contracts.
 qJ4outes on which the post office department fixed maximum rates of from Al to 45 cents per mile at prices so low that Farley and his aides appeared astounded. In one instance. an independent company which never held u government contract offered to operate between Chicago and New Orleans for IT. 1-2 cents q mile. ~
 "A considerable saving to the government is assured by these bids," Farley said. The compe- tition appeared to be keen and honafide." VI
 Airline executives expressed sur prise at the offers submitted by E. L. Cord, wealthy automobile and aircraft manufacturer. whose companies operated a dozen major routes before their contracts were cancelled.
 American Airlines, Inc. principal Cord company. was underbid on all hui one of seven routes on which 1t submitted offers, It's low bid of 3a1-4 cents on the Boston, New ark route was uncontested. Under former contracts, the Cord con- 3S l.2 cents.

COARSE YARN QUIET

NEW YORK, May 9 S.).-The
coarse yarn cloths market was quiet
today, with fairly good sales of a
few constructions but with restricted
INQUIRY for goods generally.
The price structure remained firm
with a greater number Of houses ask
ing advances over market quotations
on the leading print cloth and carded
broadcloth numbers.
The definite beginning OF work on

is responsible for the firm tone which
has developed in unfinished cloths.
The possibility OF further price ad-
vances is considered strong, in view Of
the fact that curtailment would not
only reduce the amounts of goods to
be available during the summer
months. but also will increase unit cost
of production.

Income Tax Avoidance-Arms
Length Dealing-Fraud.

In cases where the element of
fraud in fact is lacking, it has
been the invariable holding that a
taxpayer may resort to any legal
methods available to him to
diminish the amount of his tax
liability. Sale of securities to a
corporation owned and controlled
by the taxpayers for the purpose
Of deducting the loss incident to
declining value of the securities in
successive years must be con,
sidered bona fide in view of the
existing authorities.
Jones ct al. VS.. Helvering, Com.
missioner Of Internal Revenue,
Nos. 6046 ct seq.
The question in the case de.
pended on the weight to be given
to the fact that the ultimate sale
OF securities out of which a
claimed loss grew was to cor.
poration wholly and entirely con.
trolled by the sellers and to the
effect to be given the admission
that the sales were made for the
express purpose Of avoiding in
come tax liability.
In December, 1915, four
brothers, B. B. Jones, Elliott
Jones, Robert L. Jones, and an
other, now deceased, organized
and became the only stockholders
of the Bermont Oil Company, a
Delaware corporation. The com
pany began business in January,
1915. Three of the living brothers
are appellants in the instant
cases, which were consolidated
for hearing on appeal. The
brothers were referred to as tax
payers in the court decision de-
livered by Mr.. Justice Groner, of
the Court of Appeals.
In his return of net income for
the year 1921, each taxpayer
claimed as deduction, under Sec
ton 214 of the revenue act Of
1921, loss claimed to have been
sustained by him from the sale in
1921 of certain Municipal and
Liberty Loan bonds. Each claimed
the loss as representing the differ
ence between the cost of the
bonds in 1917 when he acquired
them and the selling price in 1921.
The four taxpayers owned in
unequal shares certain oil proper
ties and businesses in Oklahoma
City, Okla, prior to the organiza-
tion of the Bermont corporation.
After the organization of the cor
poration, they transferred to it
certain valuable oil properties and
paid 100000 in cash in exchange
for all it's capital stock. They also
sold to the corporation certain oil
field equipment and materials, for
which they were given credit on
the books Of the corporation. The

NEW YORK, May 9 GN.sJ.
The market found that long lost
rally, but Wall Street isn't yet
ready to do any cheering de-
spite its feeling of relief.
For one thing stocks seemed to
find trouble on the snap-back.
Those who bought stocks on
weakness in the last two days are
ready to jump out at the first
sign of hesitation, so that a turn
in the news is necessary to keep
the ball rolling.
Even permiSsive legislation on
silver will make the orthodox
minded start worrying about the
currency again, while the poten-
tial credit initiation is tremen-
douS. There also is q factor to
which little attention has been
paid, the trade war between Brit
ain and Japan. Some shrewd OBJ
servers see in this the threat Of
worldwide currency initiation with
Japan depreciating the yen fur
ther from present low levels to
hurdle the trade barriers being
erected by England. It may be
significant in this connection that
