INSURANCE and AUTOS
May Carry Burden of War Tax Re-
moved from Bankers.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Reduction
of the proposed tax of two dollars a
thousand on bank capital and surplus
is contemplated by Democrats OF the
senate finance committee, who are
now celebrating on the war revenue
bill which passed the house last week.
The suggestion has been made that
disturbed financial conditions due to
the European war and revision of the
currency laws make it unwise to levy
so heavily on bank capital at this
time, and it has been proposed to cut
the assessment in half.
Those who favor this action in view
Of the protests that are pouring In
from bankers all over the country
would provide for the loss in revenue
thus occasioned by an automobile tax.
to be substituted also for the tax OF
two cents a gallon on gasoline now
provided in the bill. An automobile
tax based on horsepower, it is said,
would yield an enormous revenue,
enough to make up for the estimated
$2S,0OO,OO0 which would be derived
from the gasoline tax and the amount
to be lost if the bank capital levy
should be reduced one half
The senate committee also is con-
sidering readjusting the proposed tax
on insurance policies with the prob
able elimination altogether Of a tax
on accident insurance.

Warns Head of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works.

Philadelphia, Sept. 30.-A warning
against over-hasty efforts to establish
broa trade relations with the South
American countries since their COM
merce has been disrupted by the Euro
pean war was uttered by Alba B. John
son. president of the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works, at a meeting of the South
American trade committee which was
permanently organized here. Mr..
johnson emphasized the dangers Of
any proceedings which are not char
acterized by businesslike caution. He
described an interview which he had
with the ambassador Of the Argentine
republic, in which the latter told him,
he said, that the South American coun
tries would turn naturally to the
United States, but would have to build
up trade with this country by slow de-
grees.
I'VE must go slow in our plans to
establish new and broader trade rela-
tons with the Latin-American coun-
have been told that Brazil, through the
practically is bankrupt. Since Chile
has lost the European market for the
output of her nitrate mines her condi-
ton Is not prosperous and just before
the war began the Argentine republic
spent vast sums upon public improve
ment schemes. and SO has little
money"
Among the suggestions to be acted
upon by subcommittee are the esta b.
lfshment of trade bureaus in the larger
South American countries and a means
of meeting the demand of South Amer
lean markets for long credits

BACK INTO STRIDE
Santa Fe's Earnings Take ON
Big Gain.
Complete Recovery From Last
Years Slump.

It is apparent that the Santa Fe
has recovered from its slump in last
years earnings, according to the re-
ports for August Of this year. A heavy
increase is shown. At the close Of the
fiscal year. June 80, q decrease was
reported. the net earnings being con-
siderably lower than the year before:
Lately the returns from both freight
and passenger trafhc have been prom
Using and the prospects for the fall
and winter are good. If the present
rate of earnings is maintained the
year ending June 80, 1915, may be as
prosperous as two years ago. 1t IL
probable that the gross earnings for
the year may exceed 500, 100000.
The exposition next year will bring
In heavy receipts for the passenger
department Of the Santa Fee and other
western roads. If the southwest Is as
prosperous next year as this. there is
a good chance of the good earnings
continuing.
The earnings for July and August
showed a substantial increase. Tho
earnings in August, in gross. $1O.166.-
489, an increase of $424,b33. The net
earnings for the Santa Fe during Au-
gust amounted to $3.3S5,36S. an in
crease Of $554,370.
The gros searnings for the two
months, July and August, were heavy.
of $900.790 and the net earnings were
$6.266,837, an increase of $SS6.25S.
This is said to be one of the best
showings made by any railroad in the
country during the same period. al
most every company reporting heavy
decreases in both gross and net. This
is true of other railroads in the south
west.
The increase may be due to one plan
of the Santa Fe for the last few years.
Instead Of paying heavy dividends. the
company has been turning back a
large part Of the earnings into the
tenance.
