NO CRITICISM NOW

But there was no criticism, but instead
 enthusiasm, in MT. Schiff's latest public
 statement. Probably no man knows better although some know as well as he
 what the undercurrents in international financing really are and what they mean It is true his firm did not participate as a hrm Tn the Anglo-French loan, perhaps for sentimental reasons, but members of his firm did, and MT, Schiff himself has no Illusions respecting the purpose which lay behind the placing of that loan. 1t was fair inference from his remarks that he fully realizes what the propor- tionate part played by the placing of this loan in stimulating American business prosperity is.
 In private, men of the banking district have of late, although with something like caution. been willing to say that the signs of returning prosperity are abund- ant. Some of them qualify that state
 ment by intimating that they wonder whether the abnormal and phenomenal activity now in progress will be main- tained after the European war is ended Even so careful and yet broad-minded a i banker as Frank A. Vanderlp has in- dorsed statement-snce 1t would not have been published without his indorse- ment-which contains a monition against excessive optimism with respect to our continued prosperity. That appears not | to be the view taken by MT. Schiff for he 1 told those who heard him at the Chamber i of Commerce meeting that prosperity is not only here, but that it has come to stay. No banker of prominence has here tcfore made that statement.
 Probably there was not a well informed member of the Chamber of Commerce | who heard MT, Schiff who could not have l fortified his statement by proof. Always the report of bank clearings is regarded as a barometer of business activity This year recent bank clearings in other parts l of the country than New York are re- ported to be about one-third greater than they were a year ago. Therefore. it is assumed that the rest of the United
 States, exclusive of New York. is carry l ing on business at the rate of 39 per cent greater than was the case a year ago. Moreover, this is rising business barom- I of bank clearings may show an even larger increase over last year than does the latest comparison
 | There come reports to New York that already activity in the field of real estate | in other parts of the country mas begun and that is always regarded as one of 1 the best indications of business prosperitv. | Almost innumerable incidents could be
 reported which tend to prove the truth
 of MT. Schiff's statement that prosperity | has not only come but is to be rapidly
 increased and is to he permanent If i, MT Schiff's prediction is verified by the | event. then those who like Charles M ] Schwab. ventured to say some months ago that the United States is to enter ] upon an era of prosperity such as no na-
 tion of the world has ever experienced
 will find their prophecies vindicated,

OPERATION OF SUGAR
FACTORY SEEMS SURE

tt now seems certain that the Fallon
sugar factory viii operate next year.
says the Churchill County Standard
The early u~ntangling Of the affairs of
the company being promised by the
suit now before the federal courts.
r G. Bialy, representative of the east
ern b~ondholders, came this announce
ment. He plans to leave shortly for
Detroit, Mich, where the entire bond
issue, ~aggregating 5000, 900, is held
Jointly by three banks. Before he
leaves, he states, the reeeivership af-
fairs, incident upon the factory's OPP
GRAFTON during the season of 1914, and
the subsequent disposal of the sugar
manufactured then, VIII have been
clarified.
T.. H. Kent, receiver, and H. f. Roe.
his secretary, returned Monday from
Reno, where they spent several days
last week checking up and comparing
their accounts with those of the Elan
igan Warehouse Co, the Nevada Sugar
c%ompany's state distributor. The result
Of their visit to Reno will be the sub
mission TO the federal court of a com
plete and clear cut statement, which
it is hoped will suffice for the complete
anu unIudllltu utStudTRe Oh the re-
ownership.
To harken back to 1913. it will be
recalled that the r~eceivership was es-
tablished at the instance of all inter
ested parties in order that the acreage
Of beets within the state could be ade-
quately cared for and worked into
sugar. This movement followed the
seasonal acreage planting and came as
a necessary sequel to the ~company's
failure to provide finances for the sit
%uation. With the winding up of the
reeeivership, all debts will necessarily
have been paid that were contracted
for the care of the 1913 crop.
Meantime a suit for the foreclosure
Of the 100000 in Outstanding bonds
has been instituted along with the pro
ceedings aimed for the liquidation of
the reeeivership. the termination of
which promises to pass ownership of
the local plant in fee simple TO the
Detroit capitalists. Upon Mr.. Bialy's
arrival in Michigan, which will be
early mex month, he will commence
the LAYING of plans for next seasons
campaign. He SAYS that notwithstand-
ing the promised elimination of the
tariff upon sugar importations, the To-
cal factory will run next year. He
plans to perfect a system of marketing
that will be far-reaching and insure the
quick disposal of our product indepen-
dent of outside influences: a market
that viii be largely ~uninfluenced by
free sugar competition. He points out
that if a spirit of loyalty can be ne
veloped among Nevadans, surely a
feasible thing. the home market will
tax to the uttermost the local facto-
rvs capacity.

A NoN-PARTISAN
CRITICISM

"Apart from specific defects, The
structure of the act as a whole is
open to the gravest objections"
The criticism above quoted refers tC
the income tax law, passed by the Dem
ocratie Congresses as a part of the
tariff bill. 1t is taken from the report
Of the Taxation Committee of the
American Bar association. That report
was non-partisan, made merely for the
purpose of having the law improved
from a formal and technical point of
view. 1t was an extended, exhaustive
and scientific analysis, conducted by
men of the highest standing in the le-
gal profession. Their conclusions,
therefore, may be regarded as fair and
impartial.
Their verdict is a severe arraign-
ment of the careless, haphazard meth
DDS employed by the present admins
~tration in the enactment of one of it's
most important laws.
In this report on the income tax law
there are pointed out no less than
twenty-five manifest imperfeetions de-
handing correction by Congress. With
out amendment it is said that the in
tent of the law can be reached only by
judicial Interpretation, involving tedi
Gus, expensive litigation.
With reference to provisions for the
return that tax payers must make, the
report Declares:
cit is most unfortunate that there
should be any doubt as to what this
precise duty is. Here, if anywhere, the
law should be clear and explicit. The
provisions should be placed together in
Ineligible terms, instead of being
scattered, involved with other provis-
ions and phrased in obscure language
as they now are. The act conveys the
impression that the trainers had not
reached any definite conclusions in
their own minds concerning the re-
quirement of personal returns.o
With no thought of making political
capital, this report specifically outlines
the one weakness that dominates the
legislative methods of the present ad-
ministration, saying:
"Political exigencies demanded the
speedy enactment of the law, and
there was not sufficient time for the
o~-.:lo.ox.o. - 1o+osI 3,
Finally this committee of the Ameri-
can Bar association recommends a re-
to its form as well as to it's sub
stance
1.-THE entire act should be recon
structed," concludes their report,
"and there should be placed upon the
statute books an income tax law so ar
ranged and expressed as to be conven-
lent for reference, consistent in all its
parts and capable of being understood
by a citizen of average intelligence. +"
There is no good reason for the fla
grant imperfections in the income tax
law. They could nave been corrected
by thoughtful, intelligent eonsidera-
ton, and their frequent occurrence in
the act is still further proof of the
needless haste, earelessness and mac
curacy that characterizes the enact
ment of laws by the Democratic Con
gress.

THE WAR PRIMER
BY National Geographic Society

Bulearia-"Almost as important as
the splendid army which she brings
to aid the cause of the Teutonic Pow
garia throws into the balance as an
aid toward the solution of their pro-
visioning problem" begins q state
ment given out today by the National
Geographic Society.
Bulgaria is essentially a famous
nation: its exports consist of it's
agriculture SURPRISES. and in good
years these SURPRISES amount to very
respectable quantities.
Nearly forty percent of the coun-
try's area is cultivated, of which
three -fourths is devoted to cereals,
wheat yielding the largest crop and
Indian corn and barley coming Sec
ond and third in Importance. Ten
per cent. of the land is devoted to graz
ing, but Bulgaria has little import
anee In the commerce OF live stock
Meat products take almost no part in
Bulgaria's foreign trade, although
large numbers of cattle and sheep
have been raised during recent years
and considerable attention given to
the Improvement of the native breeds.
Wheat and Indian corn are the two
principal items on >Buigaria's export
list. They constitute about one-half
of her total foreign sales. Oats, rye
and barley are also raised upon the
little Kingdoms farms for foreign con-
sumption. These exports of cereals,
sleeps and lambs WOOL and silk
worm cocoons make up more than
seventy five per cent of the total ex-
ports. The raising of tobacco has
come to be an important source of the
Bulgarian farmers revenue, while,
from Austria Hungary, the sugar beet
has found its way into the central
Balkan kingdom, and the manufacture
of beet sugar has increased rapidly.
Almost the whole of Bulgaria's
foreign trade during normal times has
been with those countries with whom
she is now fighting as. an Ally-with
Austria Hungary, Turkey and Ger
many. For some strange reason, Bel
GUM was among Bulgaria's best Gus
toners. With the exception of this
lies made by the Bulgarians is a
choice coninciding with the interest
OF her foreign trade in the years be-
fore the war. Bulgarian. corn, to-
bacco, hides. forest products and
cocoons found their best markets
ers in days before the war. of
course, Bulgaria's famed product. at
tar of roses, was largely taken by the
French, and enjoyed its own market
among the buyers of all the nations of
the West. Just such a luxury pro-
duct however, would be the first to
suffer by reason of the world war, and
Bulgaria's trade in the expensive es-
sence of her wonderful rose valleys
was bound TO fall off greatly.
Most every Bulgarian is either a
farmer or a politician. AS a politi-
clan, he writes. officers in the army.
and takes up the various professions.

The zEALANnlA CASE.

From the subsequent reports which
have been received concerning the
search to which the captain of the
American ship Zealan6lia was forced
to submit at the hands of boarding
party from the British cruiser Isis in
the harbor of Progreso, Mexico, the
whole question as to whether the Brit
ish officer was justified or whether the
rights of the American ship were vio-
lated depends entirely upon the loca-
ton of the vessel at the time,
1t should be a matter very easily
determined as to whether the Zea-
landia was within the three mile limit
or not. The fact that the ships papers
were in the hands of the American
consult at that port would seem to in
dictate that, while advice from the port
authorities to the effect that the Zea-
landia was at the regular discharging
place further confirms 1t,
That the British may have been sus-
picious Of the vessel, its crew or the
business it was engaged in did not
give them the right to totally ignore
the rights Of ship flying the Amer
lean flag. Had it been encountered on
the high sea nothing could have been
said against such a procedure and it
is only by contending that 1t was be-
yond the territorial limits of the Mex
lean port that it's actions can be JUS
titled. This from such evidence as
has been furnished this government it
seems impossible for 1t to do. The
whole matter surrounds a simple ques-
ton of fact and not being able to show
under the rules of the sea that it had
a right to do what 1t did, an early
apology should be demanded

Stories of the War

Some of the German characteristics
Of King ferdinand Of Bulgaria are re-
ceiving special attention since Bull
garia has ranged herself with Ger

latter fact has given the French special
