BRITISH HOLD UP
AMERICAN PORK

CHRISTIANIA, Nov. 22.-The Nor
wegian-American line has been com
PEELED to abandon transportation OF
freight from America to Sweden be-
cause Sweden does not guarantee to
Great Britain that goods brought in
will not be exported to Germany.
The liner Kristianiafjord has arrived
at Bergen with a cargo of 5000 cases
of American pork and 1900 bags of
coffee. These goods must be returned
to England on account of an order is
sued by the British authorities when
the vessel was detained recently at
Kirkwall. At that time two American
passengers were taken ashore for OBJ
servation.
The British authorities are particu-
larly anxious to ascertain the ultimate
destination Of the pork on the Kris
tianiafjord, as it has been proved that
Swedish importers have violated prom
ises not to sell pork to Germany.

LOS ANGELES BAKERSFIELD
ROAD COMPLETED

BAKERSFIELD, Nov. %. - Final
construction of the Ridge road con-
Meeting Los Angeles and Bakersfield
has been completed by the contract
workmen employed on the project. The
temporary surface of oil, the laying of
which has for the past week retarded
the completion of the highway, is fin
ished, and the road declared officially
open by N. D. Darlington, commission
er of state highways.
The road is said to rival in scenic
effect any other highway in Southern
California, and has been one of the
most difficult in construction of any
laid in recent years. A wide, smooth
route for motorists is afforded through
out the entire length, and in no place
is there more than per cent grade,
even through the mountainous parts
of the country. 1t will cut down con-
siderably the running time between
Los Angeles and the northern city.

GREAT Building BOOM FOR
ALL PARTS OF UNITED STATES
BUSINESS CONDITIONS MAKING IMMENSE STRIDES TOWARD BET
TFRMENT CLAIM OF THOSE Who have INVESTIGATED
Foundations of improvements Laid So Broad and Wide That They Appear
to Be Everywhere Business Has Emerged From Depressed Condition
Money Now Available For the Business Men Of the Country

That an unusually active and pro-
longed building boom is approaching
seems to be the general impression
among those who are identified with
large construction work. Predictions
of it are getting more commonly into
the papers. Prominent men here and
there throughout the land are com
mitting themselves to predictions of
its approach Men in position to catch
the first intimations of this expansion
are going on record to that effect.
Business conditions are making i'm
mense strides toward betterment.
There is scarcely an important factor
in the general summary of trade and
commerce that is not expressing a
most cheering message. The iron and
steel industry, long recognized as the
most trustworthy barometer to gen
eral business conditions, has been
mounting recently toward the pima
Gle of extreme activity with almost
amazing swiftness. 1t is reported that
the largest producer of the industrial
metals is active close upon 100 per
cent of it's enarmOus capacity, and is
now turning out more metal than ever
before in its history. The reports of
railroad earnings that are finding the
light of publicity, tell the tale of an
unfolding expansion to which they
have long been strangers. 1t is the big
trunk line systems that are making the
decisive gains. Next to iron and steel,
and perhaps even superior to that in
dustry, railroad earnings, strike the
keynote of general business, for in all
business, transportation enters to a
greater or less degree, and to the
greater degree with those basic indus
tries that are at the foundation of pros
perity. Increased railroad earnings
can mean nothing else than increased
business.
1t is quite patent that the big war
orders SO many of the large indus
trial concerns of the country have been
receiving in recent months have con-
tributed in large measure to this re-
newed and still renewing activity of
trade. But close observers say that
business, thus primed and started 'by
the demand for munitions, has wild
ened out and gone into other indus
tries; has, in fact permeated the entire
line of manufacturers and awakened
them from the droning dullness of the
part year or two.
If the doubter must have an excess
of evidence, he need only use his eyes
to become convinced of it's existence.
The foundations for improvements are
laid so broad and wide that they. ap-
pear to be everywhere. Never in the
history of the country has the influx
The Parker post., 1915-11-27

| of the precious metals, the basis for
all commercial money, been SO tre-
mendous as in recent months, and
there is no indication of slackening
in it's receipts.
But what about construction work
The builder, the contractor, the archi.
tect, the manufacturer of building ma.
terial, may look with friendly interest
upon these many evidences of in
creased activity in iron and steel and
in other industries, but how about
building? That a boom will arrive
sooner or later is without question.
All past history records successive pc
riods of excessive and deficient activ-
Iity, repeated time after time. This
is to be said at the present moment
There is more talk about the nearness
of this great expansion in construc-
tion work than at any time since the
latest visitation of comparative mac
tiyity has appeared.
Merely to quote one of the many
public utterances, the Washington
Post says:
Throughout the United States there
is evidence of the Inauguration, of a
Industrial plants, business buildings,
apartment houses and residences of
all classes. For the past four years
construction work has been dull, and,
as compared with the ten prior years,
may be said to have reached mini
mum. All this is changed now, and
changed by two factors, and these two
are of permanent nature, and may
correctly be considered as guarantee
ing a large volume of construction
work for decade to come
"First-Business throughout every
part of the country has emerged from
it's depressed condition, the industrial
population are once more fully en-
ployed at good wages, the agricultural
populations are prosperous, and manu-
facturers and merchants and all the
various interests benefited by general
activity recognize and appreciate the
change from dul1ness to active times
"Second-Money is now available to
the business men of the country to a
measure never before even hoped for,
and billions of dollars can be had with
in the coming twelve months for legit-
innate business purposes. ;:-
/ People have money and much idle
money to invest. Building is looked
upon as something tangible, something
safe, and if start is once made in
that direction, example is so conta-
gious that we may look for a more
active season.
One thing we can do is to make
hay while the sun shines!"

AMERICANS COMPOSE
CANADIAN BATTALION

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 22.-Of all the
battalions raised in Canada since the
beginning of the war none, save possi-
bly, the Princess Pats, has attracted
such attention as the Ninth or "Ameri-

be composed exclusively of men born
under the Stars and Stripes. Up to
the present citizens of the United
States have been generously sprinkled
through Canadian regiments, they
make up total of 1000, it is said-but
the Ninety-seventh will be the first

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-There
will be an increase in the 1income tax
rates during the next,session that addi

treasury and to meet the cost Of in.
creased national defense. J..
The cabinet considered with the
president plans for increasing these
rates so that the burden shall fall most
heavily ON the rich.
f A general Increase of 10 per cent
or more, in the. graduated taxes or
large incomes was discussed together
with suggestion for reducing the
normal tax exemption from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year There was discussion
of the adyisability of making the mini
mum for the surtax $4,000.
The proposal to make the income
tax the defense burden-bearer gained
impetus with the arrival of Represent

doubling the. income tax and securing
$80,000.000; taxing freight receipts at
3 per cent and securing $60,000,000,
and the reduction of the exemption of
the income tax to $4,000 producing
$10,000,O0O and retaining the special
war taxes which bring in $3,0500,000
This would furnish about $685. 100000 to
