 The utility average shot up to a new high since 1887 on Monday. The group rose again on Wednesday and subsequent declines were not large enuogh to eliminate gains. The Ten nessee sale arrangement was seen as the forerunner of other favorable de- velopments, including possible gi- gantic expansion program.

 All security markets will be closed Monday in celebration of Lincoln's birthday. Banks also will close and no foreign exchange quotations will be available. Foreign markets, south- ern cities, and livestock markets will operate as usual
 Business news this week contained many favorable Items but they were ignored while traders awaited more definite development of Q market trend. Steel operations, automobile output, retail and wholesale trade and coal production showed in- creases.
 Indictment weather reduced car loadings for the previous week, but they still held above year ago. De- clines also were noted in construc- ton, electricity output, lumber pro- duction and advertising.

 Commodities lost ground on aver age. The United Press-Dun & Brad- street index showed @ loss Of around a half point for the week.
 In stocks, deman dappeared late in the week for som emercantile shares, aided by favorable company reports severa lairplane Issues moved up af- ter declines. Motors were aided by favorable General Motors sales re- port for January and by increases in output.

---YOU AND YOUR TAXES--- Hard to Say Positively What Are Limits to Taxation
How government spending mounts steadily.

the gasoline or cigaret tax are unfair"
 All taxes are unfair. That is tc say, all tax schemes must be ap- proxiinations. A tax plan which figured out just what was flair" for every taxpayer would be so elaborate and costly that the taxes would all be eaten up in admin istering 1t.
 So every tax is a compromise. The problem is to devise taxes that are not too unjust to indi- viduals, and not too expensive to collect; taxes the social effect of whose payment is desirable, and which are in some proportion to ability to pay and benefits re- ceived.
 Thue many people believe that sales taxes are undesirable except in cases of direct necessity, for they take a greater proportion of a poor mans income than rich mans and tend to reduce buying power.
 Others point out that present property taxes on real estate tend to penalize the improvement of property, for when a man builds Q new kitchen, bedroom or garage on his home, giving work ane spreading money by SO doing, his only reward is higher taxes.
 On the other hand, income, estate and inheritance taxes arc usually paid without undue hard ship, and further, much Of the money collected is money that would not be spent, but saved.

If national savings and money available for constructive pur- poses is adequate, no economic harm is done by taxing away large incomes or inheritances, the bulk of which would naturally be added to savings, not spent Tor consumers goods.
 TWO SIDES
 TO THIS QUESTION
 All taxes change the distribution of wealth and income. Some people get more than they pay for; some get less. If heavy taxes are leveid on the poor, existing inequalities of income are simply made greater If on the rich, the effect is @ more even spread of income.
 Which is desirable2 There are two theories. One is that the rich should be allowed to get richer, because only then will they have surplus money to invest In new enterprises. which make more jobs and more prosperity. The other theory is that if the mass of people have more buying power, there will arise demand for new production, and that there IS already plenty of idle capital to supply any such needs.
 That is why there is much more to taxation than merely raising money. The final solution Of the problem of business depression probably lies in what taxes are levied and how the money is spent.

TAXES FOR RELIEF
 BRING LIMIT NEAR

Armament expenses are largely of that kind. So are funds spent to encourage the destruction of crops already produced. or to cause factories or lands to lie idle. Money spent for straight relief, permitting people to live in idlenes, Is also in tkat class, no matter how necessary 1t may be to do 1t. U"
 A the tax money is spent to supply the community with real goods and services bridges, roads. fire protection, education, public health - the tax limit Is farther away.
 If tax money is used to provide ne. only such goods and services but also food, clothing, shelter, and the necessities of life, the economic limit of taxation rccedcs still farther-for then it is being used to increase production. Tn theory 1t is conceivable for the government to take all income, if 1t would then furnish oil the necessities and luxuries of life free.
 There are other economic lim- It's. Too heavy taxes may prevent people from saving money and starting new enterprises with it. When government puts heavy income tax on profits, 1t clamis . share in oil gains. but assumes no risk of losses. That increases the risk to the prospective inves- tor, makes him less willing to take 1t.

BY MAXWELL S. STEWART Editor, Public Affairs Committee
 Pamphlets.

Is there no limit to the continued increase in taxation?
 Two factors indicate the arswer, politics and economies.
 First, politics. There certain ly Is a limit to the increase in taxes which any congress or legis- lature will vote. But this bar can be raised, is being raised, gradu- ally. As the need grows for tax money, congresses become will- ing to vote, and people become willing to pay more taxes, provided the advance is gradual. Recent congresses and state Legislatures have voted for taxes that would have been politically impossible 10 or IS years ago,
 Second, economics. Is there a point at which the people would be crushed by a tax load too heavy to bear?
 There is no positive answer. It t'l depend on how the money is spent. If 1t is spent 50 that no needed goods or services are re- turned to the people. the limit may be near. For that means decrease 4n the nations produce ton, and dries up the source from which further taxes must be raised.
