PIPE OF PEACE IS PASSING AROUND
 AT WHITE HOUSE
Henry W7atterson Expected to Follow Colonel Harvey in Taking Whiff of
 Wilson Brand

Washington, October 6.-(SpeciaL) ) While interest has been general in the recent reconciliation" of President Will the North American Review, the phase which strikes close observers most strongly is emphasis of the fact that the pipe of peace" is kept alght at the White House for the use of all sorts and conditions of men hitherto not on terms of close intimacy--to put it mildly-with the head of the administration. 'Marse Henry" Watterson also is understood to have adjusted his differences with the President-or, vice versa-and he is ex- pected to call for his whiff at the pipe in the very near future.
 Now, apparently, the only person who either has not been offered or has not accepted a draw" on the stem of the pacifcating pipe is former Senator Vim" soma non grata, despite and notwith- standing the fact that a member of the Presidents intimate political family for merly was a leading member of 'the or ganization' in New Jersey and closely allied with men who do not pronounce Smith anathema. So, while the peace pipe holds out to burn, even Jim Smith may return.
 First evidences of the proffer of the pipe of peace was seen in the visit of sev- eral delegations from the more or less accursed circles of big business Fol lowed several big bankers" and some representative railroad men. Even ]. F. Morgan has been among those either summoned or welcomed at the White House, and no one is allowed to leave there with chip on his shoulder if pleas ant words can remove it without hostli ties developing. Indeed, the visitor usual in his buttonhole.
 Of course. no one visits the White House for an interview with the Presi- dent unless by invitation or by approval of the prospective visitors request that he be permitted to call. Sometimes. in- deed, it is understood intimation that their presence would not be unwelcome is conveyed in circuitous manner to certain individuals, and in such case "a hint is as good as a kick Then. with the visi- tor once in the White House the pipe of peace is rendered him. whether he be disposed to inhale the smoke or not
 Whether rightly or wrongly, friends of the President always have felt that "big business was hostile to him-that is.

obligations of New York city, which are for the most part held abroad.
 It so happened that on the morning of the day after the October. meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce publi- cation was made of the tax rolls for New York city for the year 1915. Had it not been for the lesson taught by the Euro rean war, or, more strictly speaking, the emergency occasioned by it. New York city would have undoubtedly to begin early in the winter to market exchequer Hills in anticipation of the payment of the taxes based upon this 1915 tax roll The ss2,0ooooo of existing obligations which stand against the city represent the amount which must be paid to those who hold the exchequer bills which New York city sold last winter and early in the spring. Had New York borrowed the money in the spring of the year in the United States and borrowed in such a way that the notes would be held in this country, thei, one perilous situation which was created by the European war would have been greatly relieved. The reason why New York borrowed in Europe the ss2,Ooo,ooo in the early part of this year was because more favorable rates could be obtained there than in New York Financial conditions in New York and in the rest of the United States were not very favorable in the spring.
 The lesson which has been taught, how ever, does not appertain to the rates which New York city can demand for d large issue of its notes as it does to the issue itself The system, it is now real ized, is not an economical one, and may be unsafe, although it was copied from d method adopted by Great Brit ain.
 Early in each year New York city issues notes, and the issue continues until about May l. The funds received from the sale of these notes replenish the city, s treasury and are used for the payment Of current expenses. In May, the tax levy which was made up in the fall of the preceding year is available, for on May one-half of the levy is colectabe. The other half is payable six months later.
 Undoubtedly there will be some re- arrangement of the city's financing meth ods which may make it's tax levies avail able for current expenses and the city thereby will be spared the cost entailed by marketing short-time notes.

better advantage and with certainty of larger income from 1t than for many years. Probably there never was a time when the returns from judiclous invest ments promise better than they do now and will for some time in the future. And industry will not be adversely af- fected, even if the practice of thrift be- comes general and there is less personal spending than of yore. The new markets opening will absorb all the productive capacity of the country.

In the Chamber of Commerce

formerly mayor of New York and now president of the Chamber of Commerce, in his brief address at the monthly meet ing of the chamber the day before pub lioation was male of the new tax levy There seemed to be a hint in MT. Low $ remarks of a purpose to correct here after this expensive and presumably needless method of providing current funds.
 The incident is of far more than local consequence. To provide SS2, ,000 600 in gold so that New Yorks existing obligations on account of note issues could be met inevitably was of influence upon the gen. eral financial situation in the United States For had it been found necessary that New York city could offer pay nent of these obligations, the strain on the international financial situation would have been creased The first step to take for the amelioration of the national money market situation and ultimately the securities market was to provide for the payment, when due, of New York city's obligations
 When the underwriting syndicate. which was made up of all but three of the New York banks gave it's pledge to the city to provide the gold necessary for these obligations the way immediately opened for another step in advance one that was to be taken by the entire coun- try. The federal reserve board at Wash ington was not willing to give it's ap- proval and moral support to the propo- sition that a gold pool Of sl0O, 900 be subscribed tc by the banks of the federal reserve system until there had been dem onstration that the syndicate which had undertaken to finance the payment of New York city's existing obligations would be able to do that As soon as the federal reserve board learned that this embarrassment was out of the way, the
