TAX COLLECTION
1ST CONTINUE
OFFICIALS AVER
Jackson county will proceed wttn
the entering of the 1937 delinquent
taxes. This decision was reached at a
conference yesterday between the dis
trict attorney, the sheriff, and the
county court.
The 1827 delinquent taxes do not
come under the terms of the tax mor
atorium law. effective June 9, It Is
said, so delinquencies must be paid
before that date.
The county does not want to im
pose any hardship upon taxpayers but
in order to maintain the validity ot
the 1927 delinquencies, It must pro
ceed towards their collection. Any de
linquent taxpayer, who desires to
make any arrangements with the
county court! for paymenta on terms
may do so.
The del'nquent 19?7 taxes amount
to about 8000 in: rav;jre from 3.45
to 100. The tin for entering delin
quent decree and foreclosures was
last August, but action has been de
ferred bee sum of the stress of the
times. :
The tax moratorium law, effective
June 9, and passed by the last leg
islature, as an emergency measure,
allows the taxpayer to make ten per
cent payments every six months, but
failure to maintain the payment,
brings forfeiture.

Shares Change Hands
NEW YORK, April 20. P) The
wildtit trading in nearly three years
swept over American markets today j
as Wall street and Main street sought I
to anticipate "controlled inflation" of
currency by putting their money into
shares and commodities.
On the New York stock exchange
the scene was reminiscent of the
palmiest bull market days and on the
Chicago board of trade, as well as la
lesser marts, the same rush to buy
developed. Turnover in stocks was ap
proximately 7.000,000 shares.
Heavy profit taking hit both stocks
and wheat after extreme respective
gains of i to $9 a share and more
than 3 cents a bushei, but fresh pur
chasing orders poured in to malntala
prices wall above Wednesday's close.
The American dollar, off the gold
standard, went to a discount estima
ted at about 14 per cent in terms of
European gold monies, w,nlle highest
grade bonds, whose rixed Income re
turns would represent smaller pur
chasing power shouki living coats ad
vance. weakened sharply.
Sp-it prices of silver, copper, lead,
zinc, rubber and sugar climbed with
futures, though some of the latter
reacted before the close.
Wuh the ticker tape running as
mucn as half an nour behind the
market, It was Impossible at times to
kep tnb on prices except as they were
telephoned from the noor.
When the market showed signs of
lagging In the last hour utilities were
brouttft forward as treah leaders and
their upward rush pulled the whole
list back, though generally speaking
industrials, which piloted the early
spectacular ' upsurge, ftnlshcd under
their highs. .
Utility shares wero moving swiftly

all their gains in a wild upsurge the

NEW YORK, April 20 (AP) I'ncle Sam was launched upon a hold pro
gram today to replenish his pocket hook with managed dollars, temporarily
rut loose from sold.
The fateful step of "going off the
gold standard" was frankly taken.
Before this announcement was
made by Treasury Secretary Wood In.
dollars had declined in anticipation
yesterday some 10 per cent in terms
of principal European gold currencies,
and prices of stocks and speculative
commodities had surged upward.
Not since the redemption of paper
currency in gold had been resumed
In 1870 hsd the United States offic
ially announced Itself off the gold
standard, although an embargo on
gold exports had been In effect for
a time during the world war.
Some Confusion Seen,
While much confusion developed
In high financial quarters as to the
Import of this momentous step, J. P.
Morgan In one of his infrequent pub
11c statements. Indorsed the new Im
position of a definite embargo on
gold exports, saying: "It seems to
me clear that the way out of the
depression la to combat and overcome
the deflationary forces."
The embarking upon a managed
currency program by the United
States was an unprecedented step
for a major country. Otjiera, notably
Great Britain, have abandoned the
gold standard under pressure of heavy
foreign withdrawals. But the United
States, with Its huge supply of gold
now under government control, and
