PATRIOTIC FRANCE
GIVE GOLD FOR
NATION

PARIS, August 14.--One hundred
and eighteen millions of francs in gold
was exchanged for bank bills at the
Bank of France, its branches and 9TH
er establishments authorized to re-
ceive it in. the last few weeks. To pro-
woke this influx of gold no more fas
required than the statement of the
Minister of Finance that French citi-
zens could show their patriotism by
helping increase the gold reserve OF
the Bank of France as well as BIZ
fighting in the trenches.
The first week produced 13 millions,
the second 40 millions, and the third
IS millions. To what sum these ex-
changes are likely to mount no risks
a guess, the movement is reaching such
formidable proportions without official
insistence or pressure of any sort.
Judging by the comprehensive charac
ter of the muItitudt that crowds the
windows at which gold is receive I,
there will be little left in the safe de-
post vaults, in the wooden sock or in
the child's savings bank when the
procession has finally passed. There
is an estimated net total of coined or
coinable gold of s billion 500 million
francs in France at the present mo
ment

TAX COMMISSIONER
CONDEMNS PROPERTY
TAXATION IN ADDRESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. BE
H. Wolcott, member of the indiana
state tax commission, in an address
today before the ninth annual confer
ence of the National Tax association
condemned general property taxation
as it exists in some states as "inef-
fective and unenforcible." The trouble
was, he said, in taxing intangible prop
erty under general law, such as
mortgages, stocks, bonds and the like.
Mr.. Wolcott recommended as a sub
stitute a system of classification of
certain properties for taxation pur-
poses" He cited the general property
tax law of Indiana as one covering a
multitude of sins, the sins of omis-
sion," under which "the amount OF
property that escapes taxation cannot
be definitely computed" He said he
had written to the taxing officers of
other states 'laboring under the same
law" and that from the replies re.
ceived 'it was really astonishing to
note the chaotic condition of the tax
ing laws in many states"
"The burden of taxation" he con-
tinued, falls heavily upon those who
own real estate or whose personal
property is visible or tangible. The
result is that each year the rate in
.creases, and this increase causes more
sequestration, the more that is hidden,
the higher the rates, and so, march
ing out of tep, general property taxa
ton is ineffective, unenforcible and
creates disrespect and disregard for

ENGLISH SOLDIERS WAN
CHANCE IN COINAGE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, August 14.-Proposals to
establish a decimal system of coinage
in Great Britain are again receiving
attention in the newspapers. The lat
est advocates are soldiers returning
from France who have become ac-
customed to the decimal system in use
there, and have quickly recognized its
advantages.
The proposal most generally endors-
ed in England is that agthing be
made the basis of the new system.
There is already coin of this denom-
nation in use in England, its value
being one-fourth of penny, or abou;
half of an American cent. 1t is pro.
posed to make one hundred farthing
equal to one form (the common two
shilling piece of English coinage, equi-
valent to so cents American). This
involves only a trifing change from
the present system, whereby SO farth
ings make one form.
Under the proposed system the units
of money would be:
100 farthings make one form;
10 forms make one pound.
The shilling would thus become al
intermediate coin, representing 81
farthings, and the six-pence similar
intermediate coin, representing %
farthings.

ing of the war in Europe, the improve
ment in cotton-oil conditions in the
South has been so pronounced that
the consumption for the IL months
ending with July exceeded by 100000
bales the consumption of the preced-
ing year, having amounted to 100000
bales, compared with 100000 bales OF
American cotton consumed by all 9th

June the consumption of cotton in
Southern mills reached 100000 bales,
record figure, which, if continued dur

Coincident with the improvement i'll

She wandered to and fro, taking no
