MOSS NOT THE WEIGHT

District Attorney Opens the
Campaign.

Accusing Frank Moss Of having In
iected misrepresentation into his can
vass. District Attorney Perkins last
night started a vigorous campaign tor
the Republican nomination for Dlstrlc'
Attorney. He spoke at the Riverside
Republican Club and the organization
club in the both Assembly Dis.
trict. Referring 10 a recent letter OF
Mr.. Moss in the newspapers, Mr. fer-
kins said;
when Mr.. Moss claims In effect that
during the four years he was an as
sistant District Attorney he was the
whole staff and that 1t was he who d.
rected the District Attorneys office
and insisted upon what the policy OF
the Office should be, that the District
Attorney was dummy in his hands, IL
is not out Of place to inquire what the
facts are"
MIR. Perkins continued that 1t was
Judge Mott and not Mr.. Moss who had
been placed in charge during District
Attorney Whitman's absences.
"He says that for four years he sat
on the lid in the District Attorney s
Office" added Mr.. Perkins. "If this is
SO. why did not the lid fall of when
Mr.. Moss removed himself? He says
IL was he who discouraged star per
formances on the part Of the District
Attorney. Disregarding the insult to
the man who appointed him, II the
statement were true, It certainly would
appear that his resignation from the
Office would have resulted in something
different"
The speaker pointed out that after
Mr.. Moss tried the Becker case the
verdict was reversed on appeal and
that this was true of other cases.
While he was a good lawyer he was
not the only real lawyer ever in the
District Attorneys Office, Mr.. Perkins
said.

the foreign financial commissioner
60 away without the money"
In Wall Street it was generally said
Yesterday that emphasis should be laid
on the commercial credit character of
the loan the comm ssioners are seeking
here, and that the matter Of financing
war purchases should be considered al
together a minor affair. The Allies
can readily provide enough gold and
securities to pay for their war pur-
chases, if such form of payment is
demanded, according to the view of i'm
portant bankers, and, with their own
increased production of munitions,
their dependence upon the United
States in this regard grows less and
less. But supposing that it was un-
changed, the British and French would
starve if it was necessary in order to
have the means TO buy their munitions
here, but long before that need arose
they could buy foodstuffs in other
countries than the United States.
1t would be a shortsighted policy,
IAN the arguments in banking circles
yesterday, il the United States, by re-
fusing the Allies credit enough to buy
their food supplies here, drove them to
other markets and forced us to absorb
the SURPRISES of the greatest crop year
the country has ever had. That influ-
ence is expected TO weigh heavily with
the agricultural population in the West
and Northwest, and give market there
to the British bonds that Otherwise
by reason of the German propaganda
might be taken from them.
An Advantage to u. S.
The British commissioners have made
it plain TO those negotiating with them
that they consider il quite as much to
the advantage of the United States as to
that of the countries they represent for
exchange to be stabilized. Accordingly,
they will not submit to terms that they
regard as onerous, though they are Civ
ing what consideration may be neces-
sary to the fact that so enormous a
loan as they propose to make cannot
be foated in this country except on
basis that will make the securities
readily salable from coast to coast.
New York bankers declare that the
British do not give sufficient recogni-
tion TO the fact that American inves-
tors are, in a sense, provincial; that
DtNduet lnt Cniltu mas Dttn n
debtor nation so long it has never
bought foreign securities on large
scale, but has always had securities
to sell to Europe. Investors here, they
say, have no traditions about British
consols and French rentes, and Euro
pean securities for them are accord
ingly without that prestige that for the
European investor compensates for the
comparatively small income they at
ford.
To-day the foreign commissioners
will hold further conferences with local
bankers in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce, beginning at 10 o'clock.
II is not expected, however, that defn-
lite announcements of completed plans
can be made for at least a week. and,
in all likelihood, it will be month
or more before the work is consum-
mated.

PROPOSED REEFING
STIRS COUNTY CLERK
Schneider, Jr., Among 3S Sacri-
fees In His Office-Cuts
Varied by One Raise.

County Clerk Schneider made Wig
orous protest last night against the
proposed reduction In salary Of thirty
eight CT his employees, recommended by
the Bureau of Standards. In a state
ment he limited that il it were neces-
sary to cut down expenses II might be
done by having every salaried employe
Of the city, from the Mayor and the
, Controller down, turn back 10 per cent
OF the salary received.
The County Clerk said he and every
one in his office would be glad TO do
this provided every person receiving
a salary from the city and county will
do the same thing" And the word
"every" was spelled in capitals.
One OF the salaries TO be reduced Is
that Of William F. Schneider. jr., son
Of the County Clerk. who. a ssupervis-
ing clerk, gets $4,000 year. 1t is
proposed to cut this to $3.50.
Antonio D'Alessandro, chief clerk OF
the Coroner's Office, whose salary Will
be cut from $4,000 to $3.50 under the
new standard, let out very loud wall.
He said that II Mayor Mitchell con-
sented 10 salary decreases he would
break one Of his most solemn pledges.
"The payrolls are staggering under q
burden Of salaries paid TO bunch Of
social uplifters," he said. many OF
whom are still delirious with Joy over
the high compensation they receive"
The chief clerk suggested that in
stead of cutting the salaries Of the
little fellows" the Mayor, beginning
with himself, cut all salaries on per-
centage basis right down through the
$4,000 class.
THAT would be an act Of heroism
worthy of any patriot" D'Alesssndro
said.
One Man Gets Raise.
The special budget committee heard
representatives of the various county
clerks on their budget estimates yes
terday. County Clerk Schneider sent
in a tentative budget for 1916 that was
S42892 below what he received for
this year. But he found the COMMITTEES
determined TO make a still further cut
of Sl4,280 by reducing the salaries of
thirty-eight employees. The reductions
suggested were from $3.50 to $500.
Mr.. Schneider pointed out that half
the men slated for reductions had been
employed by the city from fourteen to
thrty-fve years. One law clerk slated

Personal tax assessments are 70 be
increased the coming year. Under or
ders from Mayor Mitchell, the Tax De-
partment is busy making up the per-
sonal assessment rolls, which will be
many times longer than ever before.
Hundreds of millions will be added
to the rolls, and it is the hope that
a great deal Of this amount will
stick" so that the amount collected
from a direct taxation will in meas
ure make up for the additional burden
on the city, due to the neayy state tax
and necessary increases in some OF the
city departments.
There was story in circulation
yesterday that the additional assess
ments might reach $4,000, 900, 900. Az
the tax Office, however, II was said that
this figure was somewhat fancltul.
Many tax experts are skeptical about
increasing the net revenue from per
sonal property under the present tax
law.
Mayor Mitchell has instructed his
commissioners not to lay any reckless
assessments, but at the same time to
bear IN nina the pOsblDlllly VI Trying
to determine whether or not a man
commits perjury when he Is swearing
of an assessment.
The trouble Ia that there Is no
feasible way Of determining whether
a man commits perjury. The assess
ments are made as Of October /, and
there are many offsets under q COM
plicated law.
As II Is at present the only way the
Tax Department has Of increasing It's
assessment rolls is by indirect meth
DDS. They watch the newspapers to
discover inheritances, the purchase Of
personal property such as works OF art
at auction. In times past they have
even been known to take names out OF
the telephone book and send out as
sessments Of $4,000 or $4,000. OF

Earlier in the afternoon, in his of
fee, at 80 Nassau Street, Mr.. Hill had
discoursed eloquently on the situation
the foreign representatives have come
here to amend. Like the British dele

Allies by a readjustment of the ex-

Canada had produced this year no.

bushels and the Argentine lOOOOO,OOO
bushels, a total of 325,O00,000 bushels

enough to last until next March. THAT
would give them until next March to
open the Dardanelles," said Mr.. Hill.
"If they succeed they will have 250,-

600 was carried over from last year.
That is 575,000,000 bushels that the
Allies could get hold of, and they only
need 550,000,000 bushels. And the
United States has 400,000,000 bushels
