BY Il. c. FORBES

Corporation statements pouring
forth daily reveal that American
industry has become largely tax
collector for the government.
Second-quarter and half-yearly
reports usually show notable ex-
pansion in sales and gross earn
ings but net profit slaShes caused
by abnormal, unprecedented tax
levies. Wage demands, too. have
gone up in many instances.
Consequently, the owners OF
companies, those who furnish the
capital. the stockholders. are far

should pause and ponder when
such a well-managed company as
Westinghouse. loaded with war or
ders and hanging up new produc-
ton records, finds itself compelled
to reduce its dividend.

Yet the stock market continues
to hold up remarkably well de-
spite these and other unfavorable
developments.
The fact is that in the highest

among responsible investors is
that deductions from earnings are

Staging a Comeback

In any circumstances after
taking a beating in competition
with oil as a heating fuel for
many years, coal has an oppor-
tunity TO stage a comeback.
The first use Of oil TO heat a
residence in New York was
made during World War ] by
John d. Rockefeller Jr. This
pioneering conversion repre-
Sented a sensation at the time
and constituted first page news.
In addition TO the competition
between coal and oil, there is
also competition with both from
gas-both natural and artificial
and from wood. There is also
competition for heating from
electricity. which in turn is pro-
duced either from water power
or from coal by the electric
utilities. The producers Of artifi-
cial gas use coal and also some
fuel oil to get their energy.
Businessmen in the heating
industry lean strongly to the
view that in the eastern United
States it will be necessary TO
ration fuel oil on some such
basis as gasoline is now ra-
toned. Instead Of a horizontal
cut on the basis of last years
purchases, men in the industry
n. n
quotas on requirements. rather
than on a previous years record.
Unless there is due regard for
the competition among commod-
tiles. there is danger that short
ages, instead of being alleviated,
will be shifted from one COM
modify TO another This has
been manifest already in the
lumber industry.
