NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Uneco-
nomic rate reductions are criticized
IN the 1887 annual report of Asso-
ciated Gas and Electric Corp. In
the letter signed by j. I. Mango,
president, it is pointed out that re-
ductions which became effective in
1887 represented a saving to GUS
toners of $2,953,000 a year, and that
this brought to $16,610,000 annually
the reductions made by present sub
salaries during the past 10 years.
Mr.. Mango adds:
Many rate reductions ordered by
regulatory authority i'll recent years
have produced an unfair or uneco-
nomic reduction in net income. Un-
economic reductions in rates are
those which do not encourage suffi-
ciently greater. use of the service
to result shortly in increased net
revenues, but instead cut down net
earnings to a point where invest
ment in public utility equities is no
longer attractive to those who have
capital to invest.
There Is considerable evidence
that this point has now been, or is
Just about to be reached by the

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-J. S. Bache
& Co. are distributing an outline of
the security transaction sections of
the 1888 tax law with illustrative
examples and applicable tax and
surtax rates and specially prepared
profit and loss forms showing the
columns in which to enter the profits

The form can also be used as a
supporting schedule to be filed with
the tax return.
The present law contains features
which are radically different from

the firm points out. New terms
have been injected, but the treat
ment of security profits and losses
has points of similarity to the old
121a per cent capital gains provision
on holdings over two years.
The 1898 law has two brackets for
the longer term holdings beyond two
years, and 20 per cent for holdings
between 18 and "a months; there
is also carry-over provision for
losses on securities held less than
18 months.

DVONCH NOCTURNE

TODAY'S program by the National
Symphony will feature q compo-
sition by Frederick Dvonch, concert
meister Of the orchestra
The new composition by Mr.. Dvonch
is entitled "A Memory-Nocturne," I"
and was written in the summer of
1896 at Chautauqua. N. Y, where the
composer was recuperating, from a Sc
rious illness. According to Mr.. Dvonch.
the work has no definite program. but
is intended to portray intense suffer-
ing to the point of beauty"
At the time the inspiration for the
composition came to him. Mr. Dvonch
had been writing book Of sonnets.
The music came instead of a SON.
net" he explained. The work is scored
for full orchestra, without the use Of
the heavy brasses. Delicate in its
mood. it is modern in thought, al
though it makes virtually no use of the
dissonances and sharp rhythms that
so often characterize modern music.
The youthful conoertmaster, who is
new to the National Symphony this
season, was born in Chicago and made
his debut as violinist at the age Of
8. He attended Chicago Musical Col
lege, where he won numerous first
prizes and scholarships and was a
scholarship pupil Of the famous Leo
pold Auer. He studied violin under
Hans Letz and conducting under Al
bert Stoessel at the Juilliard School.
He was pupil in composition under
Wesley La Violette and Ruben Gold
mark and was the winner of the Lyon
and Healy violin prize in 1928 and the
Mcdowell Club prize in 1896.
