THE MARKETS
Financial Review.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Stocks
closed firm today and with net gains
in few instances, but review of
the week shows an average decline OF
IN in group of twenty-five normal
railway and Industrial stocks.
Starting early in the week, prices
gave way rapidly and for many is
sues, the lowest levels of the year
were reached. Sharp bear raids were
directed at United States Steel, I'm
ion Pacific and Lehigh Valley. Fur
Ither delay in deciding the freight
rate cases, continued backwardness
|of the trade and more reports of
dwindling railway earnings, increased
the bearish sentiment. The critical
situation in Mexico. instead of ad-
vancing stocks, tended to depress the
market. Only the feeling that the sell
ing movement had run its course
brought a halt to the raids today.
Success of New York City's sale Of
$65 100000 of Az per cent bonds was
expected to result in numerous offer
ings by private corporations. 1t was

CHICAGO. April 1s.-Wheat for
May delivery was quiet and steady
all week, the trade figuring that the
great requirements of European
countries will draw heavily from
American stocks. July futures, how
ever, declined IN cents during the
week because Of the unusually bril-
liant crop prospects, most Of the de-
cline coming today on reports of gen
eral rains west OF the Missouri.
Corn suffered the most disastrous
slump in many weeks, losing AS
cents for May and 31a cents for July
futures. Sales of Argentine corn to
the Atlantic seaboard early in the
the new crop the latter part of the
week, contributed to the break.
Oats moved Independently Of the
other grains most of the week but
was under steady pressure most of
the time because of fine weather for

ton of the soil. May futures lost

MAKE A RULE OF SAFETY IN
BANKING THAT SHALL WORK
BOTH WAYS.

'It took Phil and me ten years to
save up enough to buy our home.
Then we had a chance to sell it and
we put the money, $1,500, in Lori
mer's bank. 1t will be hard for us
to start saving all over again, for
Phil and I aren't as young as we
used to be-"
The speaker was Mrs. Philip Burke
of Chicago, one Of many thousand
victims Of political banking.
Last spring, when congress was
drafting the new federal banking
law, somebody proposed to make
banks insure the money of deposit
ors.
Bankers objected. The safe and
honest bankers claimed it wouldn't
be fair to tax them to insure against
the mistakes or crimes of unsafe or
dishonest bankers.
Let the person who wants to put
money in a bank rick out safe
bank" they said.
And so the deposit guaranty clause
was stricken out.
Phil and Mrs. Burke thought they
were picking out a safe bank. You
never knew sane person to put
money in bank he thought unsafe.
The Burkes didn't know. How could
they know? Do you know, even to-
day, wise as you may be?
II the Burkes had wanted to bor-
row on their home, you may be sure
that Lorimer's bank wouldn't have
loaned without insuring the loan.
But when the shoe was on the other
foot, the rule didn't work both ways.
What is true OF Lorimer's bank in
this respect is true of many banks in
the country-you must insure them
II you want to borrow money; but
they won't insure you IL you want to
deposit money.
Perhaps II may not be- fair to tax
the honest bankers to insure deposit
ors against dishonest ones. But II
would be as fair as to put all the tax
on swindled depositors.
Private banking is privilege, not
a right. That being true, the power
which confers the privilege should
exact, as a condition, that money
brokers must take no toll of profit
till they have first secured the de
positors with whose savings they
deal.

1t is surprising how few Ashland
merchants take advantage of every
opportunity they may have to get
free advertising. II happens every
little while that a general advertis-
ing campaign is on for the exploita-
ton OF goods of general sale. When
the magazines and papers OF general
circulation are filled with these ad-
vertisements It seems to us as If the
local merchant ought to get busy and
tell his people through the columns
OF the local paper that these goods
which are being so widely announced
may be had right in his store. We
often feel as II we would like to call
the attention OF the local merchants
to these general advertisements, but
IL is not quite our place to do that.
However, local merchants are pass
ing up a good bet when they fail
to get busy and hitch onto the gen.
eral advertising campaign.

WILSON AMID HISTORICAL PHIL
ADELPHIA.

President Wilson spent the Fourth
in Philadelphia surrounded with evil
dences of independence. In attend
ance at the celebration were mem
bers of congress and governors or
representatives of the governors of
the original thirteen states and dele
cations from nearly every patriotic
organization in the country.
The president occupied a chair
used by John Hancock and before
him was the table on which the Dec
laration of Independence was signed.
A pitcher once used by George Wash
ington contained iced water.
On the presidents arrival at the
Broad street station he was well
coined by delegation of citizens and
by the First City troops of Philadel-
phia. which acted as his guard of
honor during the drive to Indepen-
dence Square, mile distant.
Old Christ church, which edifice is
closely associated in the history of
American freedom with Independence
Hall, sounded the historic eight bells
that rang with the Liberty Bell on
July 4, 1875. Eight men manned
the ropes attached to the bells in the
church tower.
On July A, 1875, there was meet
ing in Old Christ church at almost
the same hour of the meeting in Inde-
pendence Hall a few blocks away,
where the country's fathers were
drafting the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. The meeting at Christ church
was called to discuss an amendment
to the prayer book.
Word of the signing of the Declar-
alton, sounded forth by the Liberty
Bell, was echoed by the chimes in the
church tower, and the assembly in
the church passed a resolution
amending the prayers of the king of
England so that the people might
pray for the officials of the new re-
public.
The old prayer book with the al
terations in the handwriting of Bish-
op White was used at the commemo-
ration service Three-fourths of the
signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence were church men, and
many of them attended Christ church
during the days they were meeting.
The First City troop of Philadel-
phia, which acted as escort for Presi-
dent Wilson, was intimately connect
ed with Revolutionary history. 1t
was organized in 1874 and is the old
est organization in the United States
that has maintained a continuous ac-
tive military existence and taken part
in every war in which volunteer cav
airy has served

PROHIBITION SPREADING.

Statewide prohibition has now pre-
vailed ten times. Ten states in the
Union have by votes of majority of
her people declared that intoxicating
liquors shall not be sold within their
boundaries. In more than one-fifth
of the states in the Union the saloon
business is entirely outlawed. Ten
stars in the forty-eight in Old Glory
shine the brighter, for they represent
states where it is unlawful for human
beings to destroy each other by
means of liquid poison.
The last addition to this honor role
Is West Virginia. She is the dry
est" of all the dry states. 1t is un-
lawful under the new law, which
went into effect July of this year,
to give, take, buy, sell or have intoxi-
eating liquor in ones possession,
without reference to where it came
from or for what purpose. West Vir-
blnld oluulcu lHO OpCIdllOH VI bhC
prohibitory laws in Maine and other
states and discovered the loopholes.
The new law makes an effort to tie
all these up as tight as a statutory
knot can be tied. The technicality
which opened the saloons in Arkan-
sas will be impossible in West Vir-
ginia; the shipments for private use
by which the law is evaded in Kan
sas are impossible, and the speak
easy of Maine will be out of the
question.
The enforcement of the law is i'm
posed upon a state commissioner
with unlimited authority, and If he
means business he has all the tools
he needs to work with. The law was
endorsed by two-to-one vote. Three
cheers for West Virginia.

DO NOT RAISE PROPERTY PRICES

Property owners are making a
great mistake in raising the price on
property they have for sale before
real estate activity begins. 1t will no
double be some two years before the
full effect of the springs development
will reflect in solid enhancement of
values. The natural course of healthy
advance in values comes from the
actual transfer and improvement of
property. The matter cannot be
forced by raising prices. In fact, the
great trouble with the Rogue River
Valley is that people have persisted
in raising land instead of crops. We
hope no such spasm will seize the
people of Ashland, for if it does it
will hold the town back for a long
time. If you have property for sale,
and want to sell it now, you should
hold ii at the same old price. New
men coming in will not buy at an ad-
vance until further development is
actually accomplished. Take this il
lustration for example: A stranger
comes to Ashland in quest of proper
ty. You show him a property at
$4,000 which was but recently listed
at $4,000. He likes the property, but
takes few days to further investi-
gate. He considers the prospective
springs development and concludes
that it will help values in the near
future. About the time he feels like
closing he meets one OF your neigh
bors, or real estate man, or some
other person who knows that but a
short time ago you had offered the
property at $4,000. They tell him
that month ago the property could
be had at that price. He begins to
feel as though he had come too late
and he begins to cool off. He wishes
he had been here a month earlier,
but he was not, and il he gets in now
he must get in on an advance of one
fourth. Human experience teaches
that he will not buy, but will go
away saying that property has gone
so high on the prospect that there is
nothing in it. You will lose the sale
and Ashland will lose the new blood,
new money and new enterprise. That
is not the way to build town. 1t is
the way to hold 1t back.
Those who desire to hold their
property for two years or more will
no doubt get an advanced price, but
there is no excuse for those who de-
sire to sell before the development is
actually completed to raise their
prices. II they do 1t they will fail to
cash out and the town will be retard-
ed in its proper movement.
II you really want to sell, sell at
the same old price. The springs de-
velopment at this stage is good
enough If 1t enables you to sell at the
price you have had II listed and have
failed to sell in the past. That is all
that can be expected at the present
stage of the springs development. It
is all that should be expected.

Crater Lake is
Given Big Boost

The Department of the Interior at
Washington has published and is dis
tributing a pamphlet of information
on Crater Lake National Park in
southern Oregon. The tourist season
Tor the park extends from July 1 to
September 30, and the facts are pub
llshed to stimulate travel to the
scenic wonder of the Cascades. The
book contains everything, including
the railroad rates and train schedules
from points in Oregon and California,
the location of hotels and camps and
the rates they charge. 1t has maps
by which the motorist can guide him
self about the park
Special stress is laid on the fine
trout fishing in the lake itself. The
lake is formed by the crater of an
extinct volcano. From it's very ma
ture there originally were no fish in
it. The government stocked the wa
ter only with rainbow trout and
man knows before he casts his fly
what sort of fish he is going to get.
Persons wishing to fish in the lake
have to secure a license under the
regulations of Oregon.
The lake is one of the most sub
lime of Americas beauty spots. 1t
has an area of 2OA square miles,
surrounded by sheer cliffs that rise
from 500 to nearly 1000 feet in an
unbroken circle. The coloring of the
water and cliffs presents one of the
most striking pictures to be found
anywhere in the western country. In
view of the motor car travel expected
in the park this year, special empha-
sis is laid on the automobile regula-
tions and information.

If the springs development results
in attracting buyers and raising real
estate values in three years it has
been worth all the money we propose
to invest in it. Development must be
accomplished first. Values do not
advance by fiat They advance by de-
velopment. Those who imagine that
the springs prospect warrants imme-
diate advance in prices will be sorely
disappointed and will be left with
their property on their hands for
some time. The springs project, at
this stage, does we'll if it attracts buy
ers at prices formerly asked, when
no buyers were in the market.

MIR. wANAMAKER's OPINION.

John Wanamaker has had his crit
les, but nobody has ever charged him
with want of ability in grasping
all of the elements of complicated
problem and realizing their compara-
tice proportions in reaching a de-
cision. When he went on record, the
other day, in saying that the Rookie
fellers made a mistake in their fail
ure to recognize labor unions in their
Colorado mines, and that business
interests, anywhere, which take the
same course, make an equal mistake,
he voiced an opinion which is doubt
less held by many intelligent busi-
ness men, who, without any particu-
lar sympathy with unionism, realize
that it has come to stay, unless it de,
stroys' itself, and that it is the policy
of wisdom to recognize the fact.
This is far from saying that the
governor of Colorado was not remiss
in his duty in not affording swift pro-
lection to the Colorado Pline owners
in exercising their legal right to re-
fuse such a recognition. 1t is not
saying that the president was wrong
in sending federal troops into the
state to restore order after the gov
ernors weakness had invited cond
tions approaching state of warfare.
1t is only saying that since so many
great business concerns, in all lines
of commercial activity, now recognize
unionism in dealing with their en-
ployes, it can no longer, with public
safety, or a right solicitude for pub
lie interests, be regarded as ephem-
eral or treated as negligible.
With all of the railways, all of the
great industrial concerns, all of the
great newspapers and all of the lead
ers of activity in the country rec
ognizing unionism, individuals and
corporations which refuse simple rec
ognition of the right of labor to or
ganize and to be dealt with in its Or
ganized capacity, make the mistake
of increasing a dangerous friction.
Strikes and lockouts will continue to
occur, but they should be as to terms
and not as to the principle of recog-
milton, any farther than that princi-
pie may be incidentally involved in
the terms. In Colorado, after the
company had conceded all the terms
demanded, it invited murderous law
lessness by refusing the union a right
to organize in its mining towns. Mr..
Wanamaker is entirely right in call
ing this a mistake. 1t is a mistake
from the companys own point of
view, since the policy has proved
very Improbable. Had it been prof
liable, the policy would still be a
mistake from the wider point of view
of the public interest and safety! But
the responsibility is no less upon
unionism than upon capital. Union
ism, to be entitled to recognition as
a permanent economic force, must be
entitled to such recognition as an in
telligent, humane and not wholly
selfish force. That is undoubtedly
Mr.. Wanamakers meaning. 1t is
the only justification of his opinion.
