GERMAN POTASH GROUPS
FAIL TO FLOAT U. S.
LOAN
New York. Dec. 1. Efforts of the
German potash monopoly to place
part of a 60 million dollar inter
national loan in the United States
have failed to obtain the approval
of the sWite department, it was re
ported in financial circles today. As
a result the bond issue probably -will
be sold entirely in European mar
kets. OMeetions raiserl to the flot-
Jation of the loan in the United
I States, it is understood, were based
on theory that American financial
assistance should not be given
foreign industries which have a vir-
tual monopoly of production, and
which might utilize the funds to
maintain high prices.
Extra Dividend
! is Considered as
I Taxable Income
Supreme Court Decides That Share
Holders of Phelps- Dodgs Corpor
ation Must Pay Income Tax.
Washington. When a ' corpor
ation "cuts a melon" in a profitable
year, its shareholders must regard
their share of the distribution as
taxable income even though tech
nically the payments are not modi
out of current profits.
This was laid clown in a five-to-four
decision by the Supreme Court,
holding that income taxes must be
paid by shareholders of the Phelps
Dodge Corporation of New York, on
what they received as an extra dis
tribution in 1917.
The distribution was made, the
company contended, out of a deple
tion reserve, and not out of current
profits. The Government successfully
contended, however, that when a
corporation's earning in any year
are sufficient to pay distributions to
shareholders, it must be assumed
for taxing purposes that a distribu
tion made that year came out of the
most recently acquired undivided
profits.
The losers by this decision wore
the heirs of the late Judge Douglas
of New York City.
The court refused to dismiss three
appea Is brought by the Government
for the forfeiture of the Canadian
schooner Frances Douise ar.d her
cargo of liquor seized 1 6 Vz milts off
the Massachusets coast. The cases
will be heard on their merits.
The Federal District Court for
Massachusetts held that the seizure
was unlawful, because the schooner
was more than an hour off shore.
Th Government ii?s;ted tbnt the
seizures could be justified under the
customs and international lnvs on
the ground that the s.hooner was
trading wiih the shore, and that in
negotiating, the Tbiucr-smuggling
treaty with' final IJit3n 'itltudSot
abandoned its rights to seize.. ,

Dry Outlook
Bad, Secretary
Mellon Admits
rreasury Secretary Says Every Effort
Being Made to Enforce; De
fends the Administration.
Washington, Dec. 4. Admitting:
that the prohibition situation "is
bad," and declaring it is for that very
reason the administration is making
every effort to enforce the law. Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon Thurs
day made a sharp reply to a report
by the united committee for prohi
bition enforcement charging- Presi
dent Coolidge and the administration
with failure to support the ISth
Eiiirndment and the Volstead act.
Th report is "unjustified and un
founded " ar.d is of "such violence
that it cotjM only have come from
the radical end cf the dry organiza
tion," said the secretary.
The report was sent to President
C'clirige in the form of a speeh by
Clinton N. Howard cf Rochester,
c-iicirmsn cf the un!ted committee
which reprerents some 20 state and
n-tion il prohibition and reform or-
ncizntiors.
It calls uprn the chief executive to
"as--ume leadership in the rituation
that hr-s be-ome a national scandal
uner;u::lfd in its political and finan
ci::l ramifications in the history of
the United Slates.
"Up to the president or down with
the con-itutirn, iz the alternative,"
logi-
report, fcecretary
MelTon said '
"In -That
r-:ini'"tr-.tion
Ufforts have
"hurcdny:
respect hasn't the ad
enforced prohibition?
been made all over the
, country to enforce prohibition to the
f iHent extent of our ability and ca
pacity. "Geiurrl Andrews his reorganized
the entire prohibition service and he
1 i:s found the very best men. who are
making every effort to enforce the
Inw.
"Of eonrse, the situation is bad, but
thrt is just what we ere trying to
ccrrect. There are evidences that the
-JlV is apparently not beinjr enforced,
but it is because there are s"ich evi
dences thnt every effort is being made
by the administration."
In charging President Coolidge
with re;-ponsjbility for alleged failure
to enforce prohibition, the report
st?trd:
"The president has clone some mor-
eliring on general enforcement of;
law, but he never yet has definitely
and unrcserved'y committed his ad
ministration to the enforcement of the
Ifth amendment, as provided by his
oath to support and defend the con
stitution." Credit for Iowa

Tells of Half
Century Ago
in Nebraska
Development of Half a Century Is
; Summarized by Veteran Editor
and State Booster.
Kearney, Neb., Dec. 4. In an in
terview with the United Press, M. A.
.IJrown, editor of the Kearney Daily
(Hub. and dean cf the Nebraska
j newspaper fraternity, today told an
'interesting story of the growth of
I Nebraska as he has observed is since
i 1870, and gave an insight into the
movement to advertise Nebraska.
This movement, which was spon
sored by Mr. Brown. has been
adopted by the Nebraska Daily
Newspaper association, the Ne
braska Association of Real Fstate
Boards, and has been paproved by
Governor McMuIlen and seortp of
prominent persons.
"A birdseye view cf Nebraska
fifty-five years ago visioned a tier
of counties bordering the Missouri
river," Mr. Brown said. "These in
cluded Richardson. Nemaha. Otoe.
Cass, Sarpy, Douglas. Washington
and Burt; with the territory now
comprising Thurston. Dakota
Dixon completing the northern
of the tier.
"Homestead lands were
available thruout this eastern
and
end
still
tier.
while settlement was scattered in
the second tier west, and beyor.J
that it was generally considered
that the county would never be
suitable for mixed agriculture. The
Union Pacific railroad traversed
the state from east to west. There
were no other railroad accommo
dations, except short stub lines
from Omaha and Nebraska City, and
there w-re no railroad bridp'-s at
either city, the crossing being made
by steam ferries.
"Development of the railroads was
rapid, the Omaha and Southwestern.
now the B. & M.. reaching Lincoln
in 171 and buil.li'.ig westward to
a junction with the Union Pacific at
Kearney. It later was extended
from Hastings (then Kenesaw) to
ward Denver.
"The grasshopper scourge v;n
contemporaneous with this period,
and there was a long succession of
drouth years following." Mr. Brown
recalled. "Notwithstanding farm
settlements forced their way con
tinually westward; towns, villiages
and cities arose in the midst of
agricultural areas; a network of
Burlington railroad lines was cre
mated in southern Nebraska, with
Denver and Billings lines crossing
the entire state, and other railway
systems penetrating the interior.
"The northwestern Nebraska
sandhills disappeared in the first
quarter of the twentieth century
and the reclamation of the arid
North Platte valley country with
irrigation changed desert to oasis,
and modern municipalities sprung
up to the very fartherest western
border."
The Nebraska of 1923 is one of
the most completely diversified
agricultural states of the union,
second to none for production and
superior to many, Mr. Brown de
clared, adding that its wealth has
increased by a miracle, and its re
sources are only in the first stages
of development.
