tax PROPOSED to be levied.

tax proposed to be levied.
The passage Of such tax law will
no doubt result in the distribution
Of hundreds of millions of dollars to
stockholders, which will probably
result in a temporary pickup in
business, but I dread to think of
what will happen IL and when we
have another depression. Many
corporations, big and small, lay
aside SURPRISES in good times to
carry them through depression
periods. 1t Is a noteworthy fact that
many corporations were enabled, by
drawing on their surplus fund dur
ing the present depression to keep
a great many employees on the pay
roll whom they would have been
obliged to lay off had they been
compelled to go to the banks for
financing, as they would have done
had they not had surplus.
The new tax proposal is far re-
moved from the one recommended
to Congress by the President and /
very much doubt If it will bring
in as much money as the present
corporation capital stock tax, the
corporation income tax, and the ex-
cess profit tax, which net. the
treasury about one billion dollars
per year. My belief is based upon
the fear that the money distributed
from the surplus funds would be
largely invested in tax-free securi-
ties. AS for example: Mr.. A has a
certain sum Of money to invest. If
invested at six per cent in some
productive enterprise, he would
have taxable income, we will say,
of $3.50, 0O0 If invested in tax-ex-
empt bonds at 3h per cent it would
give him a non-taxable, or net in
come of $145, 1888. AS the tax on the
$250,000 is now S128,706, it would
leave him $121,706, which would
give him an inducement Of $24,127
to invest his money in tax-exempt
securities rather than reinvest 1t
in some productive enterprise.
From the above it will be seen
that the new tax proposal will not
only deprive corporations of their
insurance against depressions, but
it will also result in taking huge
sums out of productive enterprise
and that, of course, can only mean
less business and more unemploy-
ment.
The New Agricultural Bill
A number have written in and
asked me to explain the working of
the new agricultural plan. While
payments under the soil conserva-
ton program will be smaller than
under the AAA, it will be much
simpler in its operation and it will
be easier for the farmers to qualify
hereunder. The plan calls for a
partial shift from soil depicting to
soil building crops and the 1895
crop acreage will be the bases of
calculation. The acreage will be
divided into soil building and soil
depicting crops. The soil building
crops will consist of alfalfa, Glow
ers, pasturage, and meadow. Grains
corn, potatoes and tobacco are list
ed as soil depicting crops. There
will be two schedules of payments.
Minimum payments will be made
on soil building crops already
planted, while a larger payment
will be made for acreage planted to
soil building crops this spring. The

MONTREAL. December 28.-Tne
Canadian business level has risen
roughly IA per cent from the Begin
ming of 1886 to the end OF October,
according to the current monthly busi-
ness summary of the Bank of Mon
treal
THE outlook for the coming months
is propitious," the bank reports. Moth.
ing resembling a spectacular boom
is in progress, but improvement
has been visible in almost every line
of economic activity. and it is signifi-
cant that business failures in the first
nine months of this year fell to the
lowest point of the past l6 years.
Among additional favorable Cana
dian business conditions. the bank
states that most manufacturing firms
have ample orders in hand which
promise to keep plants we'll employed
throughout the Winter: primary iron
and steel industries operations are
maintained at a good level autono.
bile production for November was
5,45l units more than October; COM
modify prices remain remarkably
stable, but the tendency is slightly
upward. chiefly as the result of q
further sharp rise in the price Of

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, December 28.-Stocks
ran into difficulties today after Sc
lected market issues had been given
an early lift of fractions to 2 or more
points.
While some of the oils. rails. air.
crafts, rubbers and specialties man.
aged to hold moderate gains, the
downward drift elsewhere helped to
discourage bidders Near the fourth
hour prices were ragged.
Wall Street analysts again pointed
to cross-currents having to do with
year-end selling to establish both
profits and losses for income tax re-
turns.
Share orders over the three-dav
holiday piled up sufficiently to keep
the ticker tape unusually busy for the
first half hour. The volume then
began to dwindle as leading stocks
were offered on declining scale.
Ahead during the greater part OF
the proceedings were Standard Oils Of
New Jersey and California. Plymouth
Oil. Amerada, Shell Union, Pure Oil.
Santa Fe. New York Central, Seaboard
Airline preferred. New Haven preferred,
Douglas Aircraft, Boeing, United Air.
craft, United States Rubber, Goodyear.
National Lead. Anaconda. Greyhound
Corp. Pittsburgh Screw g. Bolt and
Yellow Truck.
Down as much as a point or so
most of the time were Sears Roebuck,
Montgomery Ward, Woolworth, Macy.
Chrysler, General Motors. American
Telephone, Consolidated Edison. United
States Smelling and Continental Can.
Backward also were United States
Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors.
Nash, North American, Westinghouse,
General Electric, Du Pont and Borden.
The rails, on the whole. performed
to the liking of shareholders. Capacity
passenger traffic for many of the roads
in the past several days was seen as q
cheerful straw IN the wind. In addi.
ton. year-end earnings of the larger
transportation systems were placed
at the highest since 1929 with net
operating receipts expected to top the
1885 period by at least IS per cent.

but home rails showed upward tendencies.
PARIS.-Irregularity prevailed through. :,
