ID The $500, 900. 900 which the
Senate tax bill provides is in addi-
ton to the SIT, 900. 900, 900 which we
are already paying in federal taxes.
Even this makes a total OF only
s25, 500, 100000 or about one third
the 1912 annual cost of World War
ii to the United States. Surely
Initiation is inevitable.
CD The Industrial Average for
leading stocks listed on the London
Stock Exchange now stands at
about SIS which is the highest figure
since March is, 1889 The lowest
was 49.4 on June 26. 1910. The In
dustrial Average Of the New York
Stock Exchange is now about 100 |
which is 3S points lower than the
March Is, 1889 figure. This shows
how the English investors are more
