PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
THE CASE FOR THE
FORTY MILL TAX

Editor. The Times: Frequent
ly we hear opponents of the
forty mill tax limit declare that
it mas failed in its purpose. This
evidence on the other side is
from a census bureau report:
Ten years ago the average
tax per acre on farm land in
the state of Washington was
S115, and for 1910 the average
was fifty-two cents. The same
proportionate decrease can be
shown on property taxes gen.
orally.
The difference is made up by
putting a fair tax on other prop
erty - including intangibles -
which paid none or very little
taxes before the passage of the
forty mill bill. r. S. NJ.

Electric Bond Permitted
To Purchase Preferreds
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Securities Commission grant,
ed permission to Electric Bond d
Share Co. yesterday to spend S.
100000 for the purchase of pre-
ferred stocks on the New York Curb
Exchange.
Bond g. Share, top unit in 6
giant utility holding company sys-
tenn, proposes to buy up shares OF
its SIS and Sc cumulative preferred
stocks on the exchange.
The S. E. c. commented that the
principal question presented was
"the appropriateness of the proposed
method of acquiring the preferred
shares by market purchases, par
ticularly in view of the current mar
ket prices of the stock and the recent
market history"
Both stocks have liquidating
values of $1O0 and redemption prices
of S110 a share, but have sold on the
market at prices ranging from
around $50 to around $40 during the
first seven months of this year.
The Commission said that it would
refrain from fixing any tender price
for the purchases "in the light of
the extreme difficulty of attempting
to estimate the value of Bond &
Shares assets at the present time"
However, it ordered Bond d
Share to inform stockholders in ad-
vance of its plans and to. furnish
each stockholder with copy of the
commission opinion; limited pur-
chases to the exchange floor and
called for serni-monthly reports Of
| the acquisitions. If.
