Stock Payments
Called Taxable

Stock distributions are consid-
cred a taxable gain regardless of
whether the stock in respect to
which the distribution takes place
is surrendered or not, according
to a ruling of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue under the
Revenue Act of 1884.
If stock or securities are ex-
changed pursuant to a plan of re.
organization or recapitaliza ton,
however, the bureau ruled that
no gain or loss has taken place
for income tax purposes.

building and construction use nu-
merous materials in large quanti-
ties, and employ an army of labor,
but they involve great investments
which concern insurance COM
panies, savings banks and the
whole financial structure.
It is thus no wonder that in
soaking to stimulate business re-
covery manv have centered their
thought upon building, and that
the New Dealers have tardily
turned in the same direction.
AS is true in many other
cases, one may say that some
progress has been made in
clearing the way for recovery
in building activity. UnqueS-
tiOnably much liquidation and
reorganization have gone on.
There has been some "rehabili-
tatiOn" o. title companies.
Many mortgages have been
"taken care Of"
On the one hand, population
has grown and standards of liv-
ing pertaining to housing have
depreciation and obsolescence in
existing structures have gone on
steadily.
I am told that the marriage
rate has increased in the past
year or so. It seems that there
is less tendency for families to
"double up"-that some undoub-
ling is in process.
Certainly rents have come down.
But building activity remains
very backward. Aside from some
artificially stimulated public
works." it is pitifully small, and
most experts can see little early
recovery ahead. Why is this?
The three chief reasons are:
ND High building costs, (2) high
taxes, and 90 great monetary
uncertainty. Until these condi-
tions are remedied, the New
Dealers will pour their billions
of Government credit into public
works" in vain.
AS to costs, it is a fact that
both building materials and
labor have been held relatively
high. Wage rates, are more
than 100 per cent over pre-war,
and such materials as cement
and steel are but little cheaper
than in 1926. Wage rates are
So high in the building trades
that Tabor either "bOOtlegS" on
the side, or goes without work
most of the time. What good
is $12 a day, if you work only
two months in the year?
Meanwhile rents have come
down, and people find it so much
cheaper to buy or rent an old
building that new building is not
undertaken. Investors can see
little return on funds tied up in
new construction at such high
costs.
Taxes may be figured as one of
the costs. In our craze for gov
eminent spending of all sorts.
taxes have grown enormously. and
something like 80 per cent of
taxes fall on real property. The
burden has become so great that
in some areas upwards of 40 per
cent Of real estates taxes are de-
1inquent. People hesitate to buy
real estate when they consider the
tax burden.
AS to monetary uncertainty, who
wants to tie money up in a build
ing operation when he does not
know what gyration in prices will
happen tomorrow? Who wants to
hold a mortgage when he can not
figure what a dollar will be worth
next year?

What he said sounded reason
able, though it left Juliet cold.
But it didn't matter-she was
not the keeper Of Won Guer-
don's professional conscience or
the critic of his behavior,
either.
How would you like" he
asked, "to go dancing tonight?"
An Invitation
Just for an instant the in
vitation thrilled Juliet. Her
little feet suddenly were hun
CRY for music. She had a gay
new dance frock that was eager
and waiting to be shown off.
''It would be nice, wouldn't
it," she smiled. 1--WE not stepped
out since I came here"
"Then let's say dinner first
and dancing afterwards"
But his eagerness foreWarned
Juliet. If she went out with
him tonight it probably would
mean a repetition Of his too
serious love making.
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid 7
cannot"
"Oh!" he said raising his
broWS. I'm glad you are at
least sorry" His face and his
voice were almost sarcastic.
II spoke without thinking"
she said, hurrying to get it over
with. II have a special engage
ment at home this evening.
Somebody coming in-nobody
you know"
He came closer to her nom.
Juliet, why do you always
fade away from me?"
She stepped back. II thought
we settled that once for all. But
I'm not avoiding you. Every day
I'm working right here beside
you. I shouldn't think you'd
want to go out with me-Aif it
was against my will"
Won Guerdon shrugged. He
was a man, not mendicant.
Very well, my dear. 1t takes
long time to get an idea out
of my head, doesn't it? Or to
change an idea in your head?"
Smiling Hostility
When the day was finished
they parted with a smile. For
tunately his good temper over
came any sulkiness. He was a
fencer who could play with the
foils indefinitely until his an
tagoniSt grew careless and
dropped a guard.
Juliet went home to her quiet
apartment, turned on the brand
ne Wradio and lit all of the soft
shaded lights. Then she sat
down in one of her low modern
istic chairs and surveyed the ex-
cellence of her taste in furnish
ingS.
It was quite the incest home
she had ever had.
Cool, clean, smart, with none
of the frowSinesS of heaped up
pillows and fat upholstery. A
package of books had been de-
livered in the afternoon; these
she wrapped and fitted
Snugly in the book inches be-
side the mantle. Before long
these first volumes would have
plenty of companions, because
Juliet was a rather voraciouS
reader whose taste ran to
travel and adventure books pre-
ferably, with enS i'm n t a l
novels as close second choice.
"This is exactly what I've
wanted all of my life," she told
herself contentedly. "No dark
corners to catch duSt-no
worrying about the rent-no
old dresses made over. I'm pay
ing every cent of it out of my
own earnings and putting
money in the bank, too" She
stretched out her slim legs
comfortably and crossed them
at the ankles. "Plenty soft for
you. Juliet" she murmured.

her-the hideous Shut-in sense

Juliet inspected the girl, so
silent now, and she seemed
like small injured animal

help.
"Well, I guess" Katie
Schmidt began, lifting her face
slightly, 81 guess, it'll set me
back a-plenty."
Juliet sent an appealing
glance to Won Guerdon, but he
shook his head. But when he
spoke his voice was considerate.
I'm quite sure, Miss Schmidt,
you couldn't afford the fees we
are forced to charge here. Only
the rich class of people have
such work done. None of these
-alterationS-are necessary for
your general health, you know.
If I were you I think I'd put
the whole idea out of my head
and cultivate some other inter-
est. After all, beauty isn't
everything. Friends, for exam
pie, are much more important"
Embittered
Katie shot up to her feet
with a rush of color under her
murky skin,
Friends - don't make me
taught" she shrilled. I'D like
to get rid of the ones I've got
already. All I want to know
is what will it cost? That's
au-how much?"
Juliet dreaded to see the
girls disappointment. IF I
were you," she said gently, II
believe I'd get more fun spend
ing what I had on some real
nice clothes"
Miss Schmidt turned swiftly.
IF you was mel" she jeered.
''If you was me you'd soon see
how it felt to look like I do!
It's me that's got to look in
the mirror every day of my
darn life! I gotaz much right
as anybody to be beautiful.
It's nobody's business but my
own. 1 amt doin' this fer
any man. I'm doin' it to please
nobody but my own lonesome
self"
The outburst left her pant
ing slightly. Won Guerdon
made a few quick notes on a
pad Of paper.
"All right-here it is" he
said shortly. I'VE couldn't un.
dertake the work for less than
three thousand dollars"
To his surprise Katie re-
ceived the estimate unblink-
ingly.
That includes the teeth and
everything" she asked shrewdly.
1--WE included the dental
work." he told her. Nov, the
only question is-do you have
three thousand dollars, Miss
Schmidt"
''No, I amt" she said, the
fire dying in her voice. "An'
] never will have that much"
Without another word she
crossed the room, opened the
door, and disappeared into the
obScurity from which she had
come.

Guerdon.
Juliet looked at him specula-
lively, trying to figure what
manner of man he was.
'tI thought you told me you
were in this business because it
gave you a chance to make ugly
women happy"
Juliet looked at Won Guerdon
with a vague feeling that some
thing in the Katie Schmidt
case had damaged his distinc-
ton. Perhaps he felt this too
for he haStened to explain.

The Tragedies Of The News

Every 20 often n story comes over the news wires
that brings tears even to those to whom the chron-
icing OF tragedy i an every day occurrence. Two
such stories were printed in The Brownsville Herald
ON the same day recently. and both seemed to carry
the moral that firearms have no place in the home
Of the average family.
One story was from Chicago. and told Of a father.
crazed by illness and brooding. who suddenly and
without warning went on a killing spree and when
he had ended had killed a son and daughter and
wounded another son.
II is not hard TO imagine the grief with which
he will be beset when he comes to his senses and
realizes what he has done. that he has cut off the
lives Of two OF his best beloved in a moment OF mental
alteration.
And again on the same day We read the story OF
an eiEht-year-old boy. presumably walking in his
sleep. who was awakened MS he stood over the body
of his mother. shot 10 death BY the smoking shotgun
he held In his hands.
What a memory for that boy to carry with him

certainly they should be kept unloaded. and there
Is no need for cartridges or shells in the house until

II may be safely said that firearms kept in the
