NO IDLE LAND TAX “Big moneyed interests seeking to avoid the increased rate of taxation on excess profits haye turned a kindly ‘eye on raw lands as an ideal non-in- come producing investment, one that is ever enhancing in value and which insures the greatest degree of safety.” —SPERRY REALTY AND INVEST- MENT COMPANY REPORT IN ST. PAUL DAILY NEWS, Jauary 6, 1918. ; THE COAL TRUST - “Arrival of the new year saw 100 steamships aggregating more than 1, 000,000 tons gross being held in New York harbor through lack of coal, and the number is increasing daily. * * * Of detained steamships 22 were owned by a French company and had been waiting for coal since November 24.” —THE NORTHWESTERN MILLER, January 2, 1918. SURE! “With 150 steamships held in this port, lack of coal is doing more than it, the higher the percentage of tax; " so that the incentive for larger pro- duction and the larger profit that re- sults therefrom is removed.”—WALL STREET JOURNAL, January 8, 1918. JOHN D. GETS HIS “Shortly after the beginning of 1917, : Pennsylvania (crude petroleum) was raised 10 cents to $2.95 a barrel. With- in a few days it was followed by a further increase of 10 cents, making the price $3.05. For four months the price remained stationary, until April, when the price was increased 5 cents, to $3.10. Then in ‘August two ad- vances occurred, which brought the price from $3.10 tc $3.25 and followed with another increase to $3.50. In the early part of December a final advance of 25 cents came, which made the closing price of $3.75, the highest on record since .1876.” — WALL STREET JOURNAL, January 3, 1917.
