PROCESS TAX
RECEIPTS DIP
200 MILLIONS
Huge Slump in Collections
Is Due to Litigation,
Treasury Reveals.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-A $780,
100000 slump in processing tax col
lections since June because of liti-
cation over their conStitutionality
was revealed today by the Treas
ury Department.
Collections from July l to Dec.
II, it was reported, fell to S65, 1884,
946 from S263, 645,157 in the same
period last year. The loss in rev.
enue from these taxes, however, has
been offset by increased collections
in other fields.
Total government revenues in the
period reached $1,759, 1886, COM
pared with s1,723,206,417 in the
corresponding period of last year.
November Revenues Down
President Roosevelt has indicated
that should processing taxes be in
validated by the Supreme Court,
Congress must supply new tax rev.
enues from other sources.
Detailed tax collection figures
showed revenues from these sources
in November we're under a year ago
for the third successive month.
Subsequent Treasury figures, how
ever, showed sharp recovery in
Federal revenues in the first half
of November because of large fourth
quarter income tax collections.
Total tax collections in Novem-
Der were $184,096,317, compared with
$189, 1850 in November, 1894.
Processing taxes supplied $9,197,-
366 against $44,682, 400 a year ago.
Liquor Brings Most Revenue
Alcoholic beverages were tn e
largest source of revenue in the
month, bringing in taxes of $44, 399,-
887, against $34,376,929 a year ago.
Tobacco taxes accounted for $38,-
590,465, against $35,512322 a year
ago; manufacturers excise taxes,
$36,519,372, against $25,746, 1872, and
income and excess profits taxes,
$21 1886, 1865, against $22, SIT, 1856.
The rise in revenues in many di-
rections was offset by the slump in
processing tax collections. Sugar
cane and beet processing taxes
brought in $4,069, 094, against S6,O74,-
1913 a year ago; tobacco, $1,126,15O,
against $2583,833 wheat, $1167.1O5,
against 11,556,558, and hogs, $877,-
208, against $17,010,515.

PRICE CHANGES
ARE EXPLAINED
BY ECONOMIST
Causes of Disparity Be
tween Farmer, Consumer
Are Cited.
BY A. L. JACKSON
Economics Statistics. Inc.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-President
Roosevelt, in his speech in Chi
cago last week, stated, 1T is diff
cult to explain why if the farmer
gets an increase for his food crop
over what he got three years ago,
the consumer has to pay two and
three and four times the amount
of that increase
The answer to this question is
not difficult. A few facts and fig
ures will explain.
Let us take cotton. There has
been a processing tax equivalent TO
more than 4 cents a pound on the
raw cotton processed by mills to
carry out the forced crop control
program of the government. A tax
of 4 cents pound does not appear
to be very much on the surface, but
it accounts for approximately Is
per cent of the total cost of
processing cotton textiles.
Labor Costs Are Factor
Labor costs are also an important
factor in the production of cotton
textiles and, naturally, figure in
the retail price of the finished pro-
duction.
AS result of the MIRA, wages
per hour were increased to a level
higher than that prevailing in 1929,
but at the same time hours of work
per individual per week we're re-
duced from an average of about
48 hours per week to approximately
IS hours per week under the NRA.
This condition accounts for an
other sharp increase in the price of
the finished product. This increased
labor cost, plus the increased price
of the raw material due to the
processing tax, accounts for the
sharp rise in the price which the
consumer has had to pay for his
finished product.
Hogs Are Considered
The foregoing example is perhaps
not so good because it is not a food
crop. Let us consider hogs. Hog
prices on the farm in January, 1888,
were $3.50 100 pounds. AS a re-
suit of the farm program, wherein
the supply of hogs was curtailed
drastically, prices rose to $10.29 in
September, 1885. This is an in
crease of 284 per cent, or is 2.84
times higher than they were before
the governments control program
was adopted.
On top of this price must be
added the processing tax, which was
necessary to make the control plan
effective. Inasmuch as it required
So per cent of the total income re-
ceived from these taxes to carry on
administrative expenses, naturally
the farmer does not get the full re-
turn. At any rate, these above
figures explain why we have to pay
approximately three times as much
for our pork chops as we did three
years ago.
The same condition as I have
outlined for the above two cases is
true, of course, in varying degrees
in the cases of wheat, sugar, corn,
rice and any other food crop which
has been subject to governmnt
control.

DIVIDEND OF rs CENTS
81 Share Paid on Common Stock
During Current Year.

Times Special
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Swift & Co.,
one of the nations largest meat
packing firms, today announced the
declaration of a special dividend of
Is cents, payable Feb. Is, 1886, to
stockholders of record Jan. 81. The
company in recent report showed
earning the best since 1923, equival-
ent to $2.46 a share before inven-
tory reserve.
The same payment was made in
the preceding year. During the cur
rent year dividends of 81 a share
have been paid on the common
stock, consisting of four quarterly
payments of 1912 cents each, and
two special dividends Of Is cents
each.
In October directors of the COM
pany voted a 25-cent quarterly div
idend, payable Jan. 2, 1886, doub-
ling the regular previous rate. This,
combined with the current 25-cent
special declaration, brings dividends
declared and payable in 1886 to so
cents a share.

U. S. CONTROL
OF RAILS URGED
Railroad Labor Executives
Advocate Government
Ownership.
BIZ United Press

By Untted Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The
Railway Labor Executives Associa-
ton today advocated government
ownership and operation as a means
of easing distress among the ma
TONS railroads.
In letter to all congressman, the
organization attributed "cause of
the general railroad distress" to
control of banking interests more
intent on milking the roads than
in rendering the service which the
railroads are capable of render
ing"
It charged that banking interests
wrecked the Denver g. Rio Grande
Railroad in 1921, resulting in the
loss of millions of dollars by "sav-
ings banks, trustees and widows and
orphans" whose money was in
vested in securities of the road.
"We are of the opinion" the let
ter asserted, that the only way out
of the morass in which the roads
have been placed by bankers is over
the road that leads to government
ownership and democratic control of
the main arteries of commerce
the railroads."

FARM BUYING AIDS
INDUSTRIAL UPTURN
Retail Sales SO Per Cent
Above Depression Low.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Im-
proved farm purchasing power is
responsible for approximately 90
per cent of the industrial improve
ment from depr 1ssion lows, l.. H.
Bean, AAA economic advisor, said
today.
He said that from 1929 to the first
quarter of 1888, farmers cash in
come fell 81 per cent while rural
retail sales declined 81 per cent.
From the bottom of the depres-
sion to the present time, farm cash
income has advanced Sc per cent
while rural retail sales have in
creased SO per cent or approximate
ly 40 per cent of all industrial i'm
provement.
MIR. Bean estimated that total re-
tail trade would amount to $50, 70O,-
100000 this year, of which $6,9OO,-
100000 was from rural areas. This
marked an increase of $2,0O0,O0O,-
900 over last year, which was about
evenly divided between farming and
urban areas.

HARDWARE SALES Squirt
Christmas Demand Reported Best
for Any Year Since 1929.
Tim es Special


NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Hardware
stores are probably enjoying the
best Christmas trade since 1929, and
the retail gift sales volume is likely
to reach within or 10 per cent
of the record of that year, Hardware
Age said today in its market sum-
mary. At the same time wholesale
hardware shipments have improved
sharply, with December volume to
date averaging 20 to 80 per cent
larger than the same period of 1884.
Manufacturers of bicycles have
been rushed to the limit to supply
the demand. In many instances,
stocks of toys have been depleted
and manufacturers or wholesalers
are frequently unable to deliver re-
placement orders in time for the
holiday trade. The heavy volume
of Christmas business on radios has
brought about a shortage of radio
cabinets.

DIVIDEND IS FORECAST
Pennsylvania Railroad Expected TO
Make Payment in 1886.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21-Al-
though directors of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad took no dividend &C
ton at their annual meeting of the

that 75-cent to 81 payment will
be declared early in 1886.
The company recently approved
an equipment program calling for an
expenditure of $25,000,000. This
however, is considered a factor in
the decision of directors not to de-
clare a dividend for 1885. A divi-
dend of so cents was paid last
March and charged to the 1884
earnings.
