WHEEL TAX REPEAL

Board Declares Present Plan

Condemning the wheel tax on auto
working, and declaring 1t was imposed
by Congress without request of the
municipal authorities for their opinion
as to its advisability, the Commissioners
today sent to Congress, as a substitute
for similar measure introduced by
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey, a bill
10 repeal the tax.
The Commissioners say they are in
favor of the legislation proposed by
Senator MARITIME, but recommend the
enactment of their own bill, for the rea-
son that they deem It In better form to
effect the object sought.
The present system of taxation of
motor vehicles, they say, is cumbersome
and excessive, and the office records
required to keep account Of these taxes.
varied and voluminous. The wheel tax
| is declared to be especially unjust.
For the reason, however, that more
than half of the wheel tax for the year
ended May 1s, 1911, has been collected.
the Commissioners recommend that the
| Legislation provide for the collection of
the tax for that year
! The principal reason for recommend

Commissioners say, Is at present there

COMMITTEE READY
TO EXTEND PROBE
OF MONEY TRUST
Granted More Authority BY
Passing of Pujo
Resolution.

The Banking and Currency Commit
tee is clothed with additional author
ity" today to pursue the money devil
to his lair. After bitter partisan de-
bate the House late yesterday. by a
vote of 2il to IS, adopted the Pujo reso-
luton bestowing upon the committee
such powers as 1t deemed 1t did not
possess under the blanket. resolution
which passed the House February "a.
The Pujo resolution was Substantially
the original Henry resolution, which
was turned down by the Democratic
caucus two months ago Republican
members taunted the Democrats with
the suggestion that Mr.. Henry had
finally won recognition for the num-
erous ''whereases" reciting wherein
the Money trust has controlled the
finances Of the country.
Gets Sweeping Authority.
The amended Money trust resolution
gives the Banking and Currency Com
mittee specific authority to investigate
the conduct of the New York Stock
Exchange, the New York Clearing
House Association, the interlocking
system of directorates of national
banks, the relations between banks and
express, insurance and railroad com
panies, and the general grip which the
Money trust Is alleged to have over the
industries of the country.
Congressman Mann, the minority
leader. was especially caustic In his
criticism of the Pujo resolution. He
declared II to be "a foul and dastardly
attempt" to hold UP the corporations
for campaign contributions and alleged
that the Democrats had prostituted tho
powers of Congress. In reply, Congress
man Henry and others charged the Re.
publican party with fearing an investi
cation Of the Money trust.
Henry Is Sarcastic.
mo one is better qualified than the
minority leader to tell how to milk the
corporations" said Mr.. Henry sarcas
tically.

RURAL CHURCHES ARE DREARY
Cold, Unnttrnctive, Dilapidated,
with Old-Eashioned Ideas
Unchanged.

The modern farmer has not much use
for church; he Is too apathetlc. too
penurious, TOO close to the physical side
OF life to organize one. But thanks to
the old men, there is no rural district
without at least its one meeting house.
But this church Is cold affair. unat-
tractive In general and out of repair,
about starved out. Its architecture is
commonplace or fantastic, and its vestry
usually under ground. The singing Is led
by an old-fashioned reed organ and the
hymn books are at least forty years be-
hind the time, Congregations are small,
and one sometimes wonders why there
are any, SO unattractive and downright
oppressive are the surroundings.
The services in most Of the churches
are like those fifty years ago. except
that instead Of the second sermon, there
is now Sunday school The midweek
meeting is composed OF q few old women
with an occasional old man sandwiched
in. who say the same things. pray the
same prayers that they have been saying
and praying for a half century. Some
times the young people have an organiza-
ton, but 1t Is sure to be an exact copy
Of the old peoples meeting. Yet this
church has been light and a life to
the community for many years and may
contain the secret OF the community's
salvation.--J. w. Street In Atlantic
Monthly.

new YORK STOCK MARKET
Dizziness and Irregularity of Trad.
ing Are Unaltered.
STRONG FACTION WITH BEARS
Trading Comes to Absolute Halt
Before End Of First Hour, After
which the Market Moves
+ Inertly.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE dullness
and irregularity of the stock market was
IN keeping with the preceding days OF
the week, the low ebb of business being
natural outcome of the diminished at
tendance OF members of the exchange
and the absence OF demand from outside
sources. In effect the two-hour session
represented little more than the usual
weekend settlement of contracts en-
tered into by the professional element In
which faction Of formidable proper
tioH seems to have arrayed itself on the
bear or selling side,
At tho outset there was a renewal OF
recent pressure upon Canadian Pacific,
United States Steel and Union Pacific,
while other representative stocks moved
within the most circumscribed limits,
Some OF the specialties were again dis
htinguished for their erTatic course, Sears
Roebucl and Chino-Copper scoring new
high records, while American Tabacco
declined sharply
Trading came to an absolute halt be-
fore the end of the. first hour. after
which the market moved inertly except
for sudden squirt in the entire copper
group which probably had its basis in
the expectation Of favorable statement
by the Producers association next Mon
day. The balance of the list rose In
sympathy, celebrating most losses and
substituting numerous material gains.
An actual cash loss of $40, 0,345, 900, or
more than double the highest estimate,
was the striking feature of the bank
statement, which also showed $4,000 900
loan contraction. thereby largely offset
ting the previous unfavorable showing.
The surplus reserve decreased by little
more than 81, SEQ, ,000 net deposits contract
Ing by $S9,1l7000 Some inkling OF the
weeks money shifts were found in the
statement OF the non-member banks and
trust companies. whose loans increased
by over $3000,000.
There was further pressure against
certain bond issues. but In the main the
tone was improved. United States bonds
were improved on the week
Number OF sales and ieaGing quotations
on stocks were as follows.
