REPUBLICAN INSINCERITY
UNMASKED IN HOUSE
Sherley, of Kentucky, Riddles
Arguments Against the
~ Emergency Revenue
Bill.

In a speech upon the war tax
bill last week, Representative
Swagar Sherley, of Kentucky
dealt a crushing blow to the
Republican argument that adj
ditional taxes need not be lev
led if the Government funds now
deposited in national banks were
withdrawn and used for the
current expenses Of the Treas
ury. On this point he said:
Members rail at the Demo-
cratic administration because it
has deposited $75,OOO,OOO with
the national banks. Now, the
only difference between the
Democratic party's action in
that regard and the Republican
party's action in the past has
been that you deposited money
free of any interest and we
have deposited money and asked
2 per cent interest on it.
'Now, the fact is this, also
known of and admitted by all
thinking men who are not talk
ing simply for the sake Of party
advantage: We have lived un-
der a currency system that has
been the worst currency system
of any civilized nation on the
globe. Under it your discount
rate upon speculative loans was
always less than it was upon
commercial loans, because there
was no medium whereby you
could rediscOunt commercial
paper, and, therefore, the New
York banks having reserves de.
posted with them by the inter.
ior banks had to loan money
upon such character of collateral
as would enable them in ordi.
nary times to Immediately get il
back when money was called fol
by the interior banks that had
loaned to them; and hence loans
were made upon stock and bond
collateral, a collateral that is
readily convertible in ordinary
times, but which in times OF
great distress becomes the most
difficult and in many ways the
worst collateral that a bank
could have. Here were the
banks of America with a great
mass of this collateral. Here
were more than a thousand mil.
lions of dollars Of American
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1914-10-23

securities owned abroad, every
government in Europe wanting
gold, and gold only, to finance
the war, and every one Of the
peoples of those countries struck
by the blighting effect of this
war, with the need to immedi-
ately use every possible resource
for cash. The necessary result
was the instant offering to A
merica of vast quantities Of
these American securities held
abroad, with a consequent de-
structiOn Of their market value.
If the banks had not been in a
position, or had refused to pro-
tect in some degree those offer
ings, they would have destroy
ed much of their own collateral,
their own securities would have
dwindled, credits would have
vanished, many would have
faced bankruptcy, although in
point Of fact more than solvent,
amply able ordinarily to take
care of all demands.
"If the Government with that
situation had let the country un-
derstand that it was going to
add to the burdens of the banks
instead Of taking from the bur-
dens of the banks as far as they
could, you would have had a
panic in this country, and then
the very men who are here rail-
ing against us because we do
not go to the banks now and
draw out this money, would
have been loudest in their state
ment that it was a refusal of the
Government to help business and
financial institutions that had
forced the panic on us.
81 say to you that it takes
courage and craftsmanship of
the highest order to face disa-
greeable tasks, to face then
knowing that criticisms will be
made, which, to the casual think.
er, will carry weight, and to dc
it without regard to political
fortunes, because it is in the
true interests of your country
do not believe there is a man
within the sound of my voice,
acquainted with real financial
transactions, with world cur
rents, but that in his heart OF
hearts approves of the action
that the Government has taken
in strengthening the banks

time instead of undertaking to

OF VITAL INTEREST
TO EVERY CITIZEN
in COMING ELECTION
A Law Which Would Cost Rail-
roads of the State Over a
Half Million Dollars
Extra Yearly.

Extra Yearly.
In last weeks article, the enor-
nous increase in the cost of la
Dor and all kinds Of railroad sup
plies, as we'll as the installation
of block signals, steel cars, heav-
ser steel rails, larger locomotives,
better road beds, the elimina-
tion Of grade crossings, etc.
all of which have cost the rail-
roads hundreds of millions Of
dollars in recent years above
their former operating cost, and
yet which they were required
through absolute necessity to
spend in the face of reduced
rates-was briefly explained.
In most instances these added
costs were unavoidable-con-
ducing as they do to the greater
safety and comfort of the pub
lie, the employee, and a more eff
ficient and adequate service to
the people generally. Occasion
ally, however, the railroads
have been compelled to pay an
unnecessary tribute simply be-
cause they were unable to help
themselves, and a typical ex-
ample of this can be found in
Proposition No. 9, which is
known as the Full Crew Bill"
and which will be voted upon
at the forthcoming election in
November.
AS the reader will doubtless
recall, this act was passed by
the last Legislature, and so un-
fair and unnecessary has it
been considered that 97,971 citi-
zens scattered all over the state
signed petitions which will give
the voters an opportunity to re-
ject it under the Referendum
Law and thus protect the rail-
roads Of Missouri against this
unfair demand which, unless
rejected at the polls, will cost
them over a half million dollars
extra every year from this time
forward. :
/ The title of Full Crew Bilr'
was evidently bestowed upon
the act to purposely mislead the
public-to create the impression
that present train crews are in
sufficient and incomplete-that
there are now fewer men em-
plOyed on trains than is neces-
sary for their safe operation
when, as a matter of fact, there

Wentworth 20; Ottawa 20.

The football game Friday
between the cadets and the team
from Ottawa University, Otta-
wa, Kansas, was one of the
most exciting games ever play
ed on the Academy gridiron, In
the first quarter owning to
fumbles by the cadets Ottawa
was able to score two touch
downs. After this the defense
stiffened and it was anybody's
game until the final whistle.
Both teams scored three touch
downs, and both failed on one
goal. There was not a dull mo-
ment throughout the game. The
work at times, by both teams,
was brilliant. The forward
passing was OF the sclntlllatlng
kind, and though some were in
complete, many were for 35 and
40 yards.
The visitors worked a cross
between the hesitation and the
Highland fling in their forma-
tions, which caused the cadets
to play off side and thereby suf-
fering severe penalties. The
cadets showed good coaching,
and are to be congratulated on
holding so worthy a foe as the
Ottawa team. The work of jeff
Ewing at quarterback for the
cadets was among the most bril-,
liant performances ever seen on
the Academy grounds.
While we are on the subject OF
football it might not be amiss
to enlighten the general public
on what this game cost the
Academy in dollar and cents
The expense Of bringing the
Ottawa team here was $1,000
The receipts were $23.25, max
ing a net loss of $95.65.

LOCAL P0sTOFF|CE
To Be REM0DELED
Experts Come to Atlanta to Make
PIans-New Building on +,
South Side Urged.

The new postoffice building already
Is sadly outgrown, and a committee
from the Postoffice Department in
Washington was in Atlanta Saturday
going over the situation with Boiling
II. Jones, postmaster, to the expected
end that 5000 square feet of space
will be added to the present building
with good prospects of an appropria
ton in the course of the next year for
another postoffice building.
The committee has with it an ar
chitect, who is to make plans for
remodeling the interior of the Fed
eral Building. A meZzanine floor
probably will be constructed between
the ground and second floors, afford
ing 1000 more square feet of space,
and another 1000 square feet will be
provided in the basement to handle
the rapidly growing parcel post bust
ness.
Mr.. Jones also wants an automatic
carrying system installed, to trans
port the outgoing mails directly from
the mailing windows to the distribut
ing tables.
The new postoffice, for which Mr.
Jones is working with effective CO.
operation in Washington would be
designed to handle all the incoming
and outgoing mail on the south side
Of the city, leaving the present build
ing to the Federal courts and offices
and to handle the mail on the north
side Senator Hoke Smith and Con
gresham Howard assured Mr.. Jones
Of their support.

Two Big Stores Give

The initial step toward a shorter

Mr.. Allen said that in addition to
opening at s.: 80 o'clock he was willing
to join a movement to close at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon, provided the
other Peachtree and Whitehall street

Son of Former Secretary of State
Separated From SaIesgirI
Bride Six Weeks.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-When Phi
lander c. Knox, Jr., son of the former
Secretary of State, sailed this week
for Bermuda without his wife, 1t was
the sequel of separation which has
already lasted six weeks, and which,
it is understood. will eliminate in the
courts.
Young Knox was accompanied by
his mother
The romance which is so unhappily
ending began in March, 1910, when
young Knox eloped with pretty Miss
May Boiler, a salesgirl in a Providence
Or. - store.
Knox was then a student and there
was much parental anger following
his escapade. The family purse
strings were knotted against him. But
the young man went to work in an
automobile factory.
There was later a partial recon-
Citation between the then Secretary
of State and his son. and this was
followed by a more or less harmoni-
GUS reunion at Wayne, near Phiia-
delphia.
For three years young Mr.. and Mrs.
Knox have lived a careless and some
what reckless life at Wayne, with
much time and money given to the
acquisition and wearing out of high
powered automobiles. Close personal
friends of the Konxes thought the
young people were living in harmony
but personal friends are sometimes
deceived
The first intimation of a break came
Unexpectedly a few days ago. when a
friend of young Mrs. Knox drove to
her Midland avenue house, Wayne
and to her surprise found the house
vacant and stripped of all its furnish
ings.
That led to inquiries, but they were
so quietly prosecuted shat 1t was not
until after young Knox's departure for
Bermuda that the extent of the up
break was discovered.
1t was learned that two weeks ago
Mrs. Knox, Jr., took an apartment on
the fourth floor Of a house, No. 100
Pine street, Philadelphia, and that
four weeks before that her husband
had gone to live at the home of mis-
father in Valley Forge.
1t was also learned in Philadelphia
that for some time there had been
what may be called a financial strin-
gency in the affairs of the young
Knoxes. A number of civil suits II
recover overdue bills were started "
tradesmen.
