oNuY TEMPORARY RELIEF.


oNLY TEMPORARY RELIEF.
IT is a little queer how doctors diff
fer The special correspondent OF The
Times-Dispatch said in his Sunday
review of the financial conditions in
New York, ''postponement by the SUI
preme Court of the corporation tax de-
cislon robs the Government of an ex-
pected income of s26,00o.ooo in taxes
and will make necessary the sale of
Government bonds before the end Of
the year. With the Government at
tacking tho financial interests. 1t viii
be interesting 10 see how the bankers
rally to its support when these bonds
are offered for sale" The circular let
ter issued BIZ the National City Bank
OF New York on the same day, and pre-
pared for it by NJ. E. Allies. formerly
of tho Treasury Department at Wash
inston. takes a somewhat different view
of the situation. In his opinion the
postponement of the corporation tax
cases by the Supreme Court will afford
temporary relief OF the Treasury o.
permitting it to use in its current cash
something like s2I0O0.0O0 at time
when it is really needed, "and will re-
suit in deferring the expected issue of
either Panama bonds or certificates OF
Indebtedness for considerable period
1t seems that the issuing of bonds in
aid of the Canal is unavoidable, and the
relief secured for the Treasury by the
postponement OF the decision of the
court In the corporation cases cannot
be regarded as other than temporary,
so that it appears 10 be about as broad
as it is long.
What the Court will decide as TO the
corporations is still very much in doubt.
Probably it will conclude that the cor
poration tax is constitutional. the neces-
sites of the Government being great.
but If it shall so decide it will decide
in error, in our opinion. The .tax Is
unfair. it handicaps the facilities of
trade, 1t makes fish Of the corporations
and flesh of the individual and the firm,
| it imposes an additional burden on a
| certain selected class of taxpayers and
penalties" thrift.
We doubt tina, the Government will
have much difficulty in placing what
ever bonds it shall issue on account of
the Panama Canal or any other account.
Investors would be in the rather un-
happy position OF being compelled to
take the securities for their own pro
lection in other matters. so strong is
the strangle hold the Government has
on the commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the country. 1t behooves every
body Just now, for the public good, to
| keep level head. The country is
prosperous and all values would be
stable il the politicians would let them
alone. We wish, If possible, to avoid
any such panic as we had in 1907 and
this can he done only by the shorts
holding out and the longs coming in,
and with every mans hand against the
spectators who thrive most when other

LOW STAGE

Quincy Wing: Records maintained

works will show that not for the past
ten years has the stage of the river

The fall in the water here is almost
unprecedented. In the past ten years
there never was time in June when
the stage was below nine feet. Yester-
day afternoon and last midnight, &C
cording to the measurements of the
engineer at the pumping station, there
was only three feet and three-tenths

Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H. June 23.-Wheat-
the influence of the northwest wealth
err and spring wheat crop is more
strongly felt than all other considera-
tions. Crop news from the spring
wheat sections is sensational. Some
advices seem to point to almost total
failure. All commission houses
have been good buyers and about the
only wheat for sale came from hold
ers who carried over from yesterday.
While good rains would undoubtedly
cause considerable break, crop loss
es have unquestionably been severe
and seem to justify higher level.
Corn-strength in wheat aided by
the hot dry weather is causing corn
to show much strength. Some realiz-
ing sales, the Patten interest which
has recently been a good buyer on all
soft spots sold freely. Fear that the
drouth in the northwest may extend

portions of Kansas and Nebraska.
Cash market is showing some firm
ness and there is considerable in
auiry for corn in store, receipts not
being equal to the demand. Unless
the dry spell is too long continued,
the best posted interests express the
belief that the weather is really bene-
fetal to the new crop. AS yet there is
nothing to justify the belief in any
! sensational advance.
Oats-strong and higher. Hot dry
weather is bringing in many unfavor
able reports and there is little doubt
that considerable damage has beer

pearance.

Quincy Couple Marry Here.

Telling of the marriage OF Quincy
couple here yesterday, one of the pa
pers of that place said last evening:
The steamer w. w carried young
girl to Keokuk by the name of Miss
Maude Rathbun, but brought her back
as Mrs. Charles Wood. She wished
to keep it secret and went to Keo-
kuk to get married, but the cat jumped
out of the bag and spread the news
before she was out of Quincy. Owing
to the fact that the boat was hung
up on sand bar for about four hours,
the young couple had q very pleasant
river honeymoon. The brides parents
knew of her intention. She wore
a white china silk dress and carried
white carnations. The many friends
of the young people wish them long
and happy married life. The couple
went to Keokuk on the Baptist excur-
sion and were united in marriage by
Justice Burrows during the short time
that the boat stopped at that port.

PORTLAND, Ore. June 23.--Horace
7. Jones, special agent of the gener-
al land office, who testified against
Ballinger before the Ballinger-Pin-
chot investigating committee, last
night received official notice of his
dismissal from the government ser
vice, according to an announcement
by Jones today. Jones today mailed
to the Ballinger investigating COM
mittee red hot protest against Bal
fingers action in dismissing him. His
letter declared that Ballinger is try
ing to punish him solely because he
testified to the facts which were re-
vealed by the investigation of the
Cunningham claim in Alaska. The
letter charges that Ballinger has
been guilty of bias and alleges that
the secretary greatly injured the re
publican party by not resigning from
the cabinet.

From records kept at the pumping
station the following facts and fig-
ures were compiled yesterday in refer
ence to the standing of the river for
the same day during the past five
years: In 1905 the stage was 1873,
which is near approach to the flood
stage; in the following year it regis
tered 1913; in 1907 there was a nine
foot stage; in 1903 records show it to
have reached 1873. and last year the
highest point reached on the same day
was 1913
The fact tsat the water yesterday
afternoon measured 3.S and last mid
night had not fallen to o perceptible
extent has given rise to the hope that
the fall has been checked and that
the river will start rising.
Engineer Brinkoetter, of the water
works, stated yesterday afternoon that
if the stream continues to fall even
at the same rate of the past few days
the larger steamboats, will perforce
so to the bank When the river
reaches three-foot stage" he said,
1T then is impossible for the larger
boats to make their trips. The stage
! of the river is certainly unusual and
the same conditions have not pre-
vailed before for the past ten years"
