Subway Fare Rise,
Added Taxes Face
New York in Deficit
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-Eight
million New Yorkers today faced
the prospect of new nuisance
taxes and a subway fare boost.
The nuisance taxes may af-
feet beer, theater tickets and
overnight street parking.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey signed
bills in Albany yesterday that
provided for an independent
transit authority to take over
the city's 241 miles Of subways
and put them on a pay-as-you-
go basis. ...
The authority has the power
to boost the present 10-cent
fare. City officials think a fare
increase a certainty-to 12h or
Is cents.
Operating economies also are
in the off1ng to wipe out the
transit systems $50 million a
year deficit.
The whole issue is political
dynamite.
Michael J. Quill, president of
the CIO Transport Workers,
saw the possibility of a subway
strike If there are wholesale
layoffs of employees. Earlier, a
mass meeting of 500 TWU mem
bers rang to the chant of strike,
strike, strike"
The Democratic city admin
istration, headed by politically
ambitious Mayor Vincent r.
1mpellitteri. found itself face to
face with the spectre most
dreaded by a New York politician
"a fare boost in an election
year. New York elects q Mayor
next November 8.
Mr.. Dewey put the blame for
the city's fiscal mess squarely on
the Democrats. saying in a
memorandum yesterday:
Budgets based on borrowed
money and fiscal tricks in past
years have brought the city to
it's present dire financial plight"

Study Reveals IL Common
Misconceptions on Dividends

A five-month study Of "stock-
holders fallacies," just completed
by the American Institute of
Management, has disclosed II
misconceptions about dividends.
The misconceptions range from
the idea that. "the longer a COM
pany's uninterrupted dividends.
the higher it's investment
rating" to the idea that, man
agement has a moral obligation
to adhere to established divi-
dend policy because investors ex-
pect it,"
Other fallacies listed were:
/. The greater the proportion
Of earnings paid out as dividends
over a span Of years, the better
the stockholders can expect to
fare.
2. Companies with invariable
dividend rates prove more profit
able investments than do those
whose dividends tend to vary.
3. Companies that fail to pay
out at least so per cent Of their
earnings as dividends are unfair
to their stockholders.

nually or quarterly, so long as
investors know the dividend is
safe.
S. Because regular and extra
dividends may both be cash. they
are capitalized at the same rate
in the same period

6. Companies with a dominat-
ing family interest in the stock
