Move for Less Tax-Free Paper Gains Headway United States Chamber merce Finds Need Some Remedy of Com for Washington The United States Chamber of Commerce adds its voice to that of other organized groups of business, economists and civic organ izations in favor of restricting the issue of tax-exempt securities. There is, however, a disposition among leaders of the chamber to consider that with a net total of $17,120,000,000 of wholly tax-exempt securities outstanding on the market the situation is lost so far as this form of bond la eonornel and that other means must be fo-in-1 to safeguard federal taxing machinery. The Chamber's stand is expressed as follows: "There should be an amendment to the Constitution permitting non discriminatory taxation reciprocracy between the Federal Government and the states of income derived from future issues of securities made by, or under the authority of, federal and state governments." Like the economist of the Na tional Chamber, Ogden Mills, Under secretary of the Treasury, believes that too many tax exempt securities are now on the market to make a further direct fight against them worth while. Mr. Mills was formerly a member of Congress, where he led the campaign against the tax exempt bonds. A new method of approach ing the subject shoiild be found, he believes. Reduction of the Federal sur-tax has greatly modified the unfairness caused by tax exempt bonds, Mr. Mills feels. The sur-tax is a tax im posed over and above the ordinary Federal income tax, when incomes the larger than a certain figure. For example, incomes over $100,000 now pay 20 per cent sur-tax. Still greater reduction of Federal sur-taxes would go even further in reducing the ad vantage of tax-exempt bonds, Mr. Mills feels. However, observers declare that Congress seems in no mood to re duce the higher taxes on big incomes any further, so that the present deadlock, produced by tax exempt securities, is likely to continue. Short of a Constitutional Amend ment shutting off this particular avenue of escape from taxation, there seems no solution to the diffi culty. Observers point out that any future move to increase surtaxes will revive the whole issue. HOURLY COST OF NEBRAS KA LEGISLATURE IS $288 Every speech of one minute dur ation delivered in the Nebraska leg islature costs the taxpayers of the state $4.80. This figure was arriv ed at by Lieutenant Governor George A. William, with the expenses and the length of the 1927 session as a basis. The total cost of the 1927 session, the lieutenant governor reported, was $184,328. The senate was in session 78 days and the house 82 days, mak ing the average of the two branches 80 days. From these figures Mr. Williams figured that the daily cost of the last legislature was $1,152 and the hour ly cost $288. Thus every time a sen ator or representativ talks for five minutes the taxpayers of Nebraska are out $24. HALDEMAN RETURNS HOME Lakeland, Fla., Feb. 25. Captain George Haldeman, air pilot who made a nonstop flight Saturday from Canada to Cuba, landed here at 4:05 o'clock Monday from Havana and half an hour later while his home folks were trying to get up an in formal celebration he was on his way to a golf course.

Consolidation of Guaranty Trust company and the National Bank of Commerce, with combined assets of nearly $2,000,000, 000, into the largest bank in the United States in point of resources, was announced Monday. James S. Alexander, chairman of the board of directors of the Nation al Bank of Commerce, will be chair man of the merged institution, and William C. Potter, now president of the Guaranty, will be the president. Charles H. Sabin, chairman of the Guaranty, who for more than ten years has been working for the mer ger, will be vice chairman of the board, and Thomas W. Lamont. a partner of J. P. Morgan, will head the executive committee. Mr. Sabin and Joseph R. Swan will continue as chairman and president, respectively, of the Guaranty company, the securi ties subsidiary of the Guaranty Trust company. The actual details of the merger were worked out by Myron C. Tay lor, chairman of the United States Steel corporation's finance committee, and Henry W. DeForest, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific company, both large stockholders in the two banks. The basis of the consolidation pro vides for the Bank of Commerce to increase its capital stock to $30,000, 000 by the issuance of $5,000,000 ad ditional stock to its shareholders at par. This step had not been expect ed and stock of the bank shot up to day $210 to $1,224 and closed at $1,1S5. The guaranty stock dropped off $25 from its high price of $1,050. The Bank of Commerce, $30,000. 000 capital stock and the guaranty's $40,000,0000 capital stock will be exchanged share for share for stck in the new corporation. Control will be held by guaranty stockholders. No name has been selected for the Consolidated bank, which will be a state institution. The combined total resources of more than $2,000,000,000, compare with $1,847,705,000 resources re ported on December 31 last, by the National City Bank, until this mer ger the largest bank in the United States. The merged institution will be the sixth largest in the world, the five British banks ranking above it in this order; Midland, Lloyds, Bar clays, Westminister and National Provincial. The announcement revived talk in Wall street of other consolidations, the Equitable Trust and National City bank being linked. The Rocke fellers have a large interest in both institutions. State-Journal. NEW ICE AGE PREDICTED Copenhagen The severity of the winter weather thru which Europe is passing has led scientists to wonder if another Ice age will visit the earth. One scientist thinks it will, but not for another 20,000 or 25,000 years. There is no reason to believe that the earth will not pass thru another glacial age, says Dr. Van Nordman, the eminent Danish geologist. He points out that our atmosphere has already passed thru glacial periods and experienced two interglacial per iods, while it Is possible that the ice ages have really numbered four and milder interludes three. "We know that the climate of these interglacial periods has been warm er and better than the climate we have been enjoying during our time," Dr. Nordmann told the Associated Press, and there is absolutely no reason why we should not have an other glacial era. "It may not be so severe as the first glacial period which penetrated farther south than the succeeding ones, but my opinion is that the earth has still to pass thru one or more glacial periods."

FREMONT ASKING SUPPORT Fremont The chamber of com merce Monday sent out letters to more than 300 Nebraska chambers of commerce urging them to support Fremont in its fight to have the state supreme court set aside a decision of District Judge Spear, which de clared Fremont's annual tax of $300 on itinerant vendors of wholesale merchandise to be unconstitutional. The Fremont chamber contends that Judge Spear's action jeopard izes the right of other cities to pas3 occupational tax ordinances. The decision was handed down in the case in which the Peterson Bak ing company of Omaha sought to re cover a $300 tax paid'for its rights to distribute bread in Fremont. Judge Spear, in his opinion, held the tax to be discriminatory. U. S. ENGINEERS HELD EY MEXICAN BANDITS Mexico City, Feb. 22.

From Tuesday's Tally- DPRnitP the fact that the heaviest snow of the season was making the roads almost impassable and the go- ing very hard for either autos or pedestrians, nine of the members of the city council wore on hand when the gavel of Mayor Sattler called the city legislative body to order at 7:30 last evening. Councilmen Blunt and Lutz of the fifth and Warren Tulene of the second ward, who had to come long distances were among those pres- ent, while Councilman Highfield of the third was kept away by the labors o fhis work with the lighting com- pany. The council received a communi cation from J. C. Brittain offering to clean up the interior of the city hall and to give the windows the annual bath for $20 as well as white washing the jail. This was placed on file as the members or at least some throught that the housecleaning should come in the spring when fur naces ceased to smoke. City Attorney J. A. Capwell stated to the council that he had hied a petition as intervenor in the tax cases wherein the property of the city has been advertised for sale, setting forth the facts in the case, and County At torney Kieck had agreed to file an answer in the case acknowledging the city claims to be true and clear ing up the dispute over the taxes on a part of the tourist park. Councilman Smith wished more time on the url-Born claims for damages on Marble street and which was granted. The finance committee reported the following claims which were or dered paid by the council. M. B. Allen, street work $ George Rennie, burying one dog James Stockham, burying two dogs State Journal Co., supplies II. L. Thomas, freight Kroehler Bros., supplies and labor S. S. Davis, insurance pre mium The request of John Bajeck for a refund of $15 on tobacco license was referred to the claims committee for their report at the next meeting. Some little discussion was indulged in in regard to the request of Byron Golding for permission to place two gas pumps at his property on Chi cago avenue. Mr. Kunsmann stated that Mr. Golding stated he was will ing to supply a bond or contract with the city to replace curb and such other requirements that might be de manded and also his agreement to do away with the auto junk yard that at present occupied this site. Mr. Kunsmann asked that all members of the council visit the site and form their own opinion and that the com mittee have further time and" which was granted. Councilman Lutz of the police com mittee reported that he had notified the insurance agent to make change in the insurance on the police neces sary by reason of changes in the force. The need of cleaning streets and intersections when thawing starts was brought up and Councilman Kunsmann promised to have the com missioner out as soon as conditions will permit and the big snow starts to melt. Councilman Blunt reported that the fire hydrant at Lincoln avenue and South Sixth " street was in such shape that it could not be used in case of fire and accordingly the city clerk was instructed to notify the wa ter company to get busy on this and have it corrected. Councilman Blunt also brought up a matter of interest in almost every section of the city where old cars are left standing in the roadways and streets for weeks and months and are mere piles of Junk and an eyesore to all who live in the vicinity of the wrecks. This matter was referred to the streets, alleys and bridges com mittee for their action. City Clerk Thomas then gave the city dads a short course in the man ner of handling the improvement taxes under the new book keeping system and which makes a complete record of all districts and also saves the city as well as the taxpayers a great deal. , Heretofore in handling the im provement taxes the delinquent ones have had to pay the interest at the end of the ten year period in pav ing districts and which had mount ed to a large sum, the city in the meantime having to pay the interest on the warrants or bonds with the result that the city fund was over drawn until the ten year period was up. Under the new plan the charge of interest starts with the first pay ment and is made a charge each vear. the interest growing less each year for the taxpayer and also giv ing the city the funds to pay off the interest, working both ways for the benefit of the city and the taxpayer, who also must pay the overdrawn interest in the city funds. Councilman Kunsmann called the attention of the council to having sanitary sewer districts created in places where paving was going to be nlaced which saved the necessity of later tearing up the paving at a great cost to the city and the property owners and this matter will be looked after in the future.
