BONDS IN DEMAND.
Commissioner WasSOn Has
Long List of Applicants
For the Coming Issue of City
Paving Securities.
REQUESTS REACH S15O,OO0
Denomination of S1O0 Is Prov
ing Great FavOrite.
ALI Banks VIII Take Part in
the Distribution.

Finance Commissioner WaSson is
receiving daily many requests for the
bonds which the city will issue for the
paving to be done this summer. from
Topeka citizens. A long list of those
who have made requests for the bonds
lies in the desk of the commissioner
and a review of the list reveals the
fact that the requests come from ciu-
zens in all walks of life and the
amounts desired range from 500 to
5000.
This deiuge of applications was
stimulated by the article on the first
page of Tuesdays State Journal calling
attention to the opportunity of the
small investor.
One noticeable fact. was the large
number of those desiring the baby
bonds, or those in denominations Of
| workman, clerk. office boy, fathers
who want to start their little one with
small savings account. and the small
merchant
The grand total of requests made,
which included many prominent buSi-
ness men, so far is close to $50, ,000.
and indications are that the entire is
sue will be absorbed lover the coun-
| ter as it were, before the date set for
final issue arrives.
list and this class usually asks that
the $500 bonds be reserved for them
All of the banks and trust COM
| paries in Topeka will receive an allot-
ment of the bonds, which bear interest
| at the rate of four and one-half per
cent and are not subject to tax, except
i the federal income tax 1t has been
! the practice for the past few years, to
place the city bonds in the hands Of
one trust company, but this practice
1 @ e-4o
after, and every bank in Topeka desir-
| ing some of the bonds will have al
lotted to them a certain amount
| Until the State Journal exposed this
! old custom this week. it was practical
1y impossible for any bank to handle
these gilt edge, desirable city bonds.
No company but the Prudential Trust
company handled them. The other
banks could not get them, unless they
were stamped 'P. T. Co.; and that
was naturally not agreeable to the
| other banks
In this way each bank can serve its
| own customers without the formalfty
| of having to request a trust company
to issue to them the desired amount.
The bonds will be ready for delivery
within the next sixty days, it is stated
This tremendous demand means the
city can place all these bonds at 4
per cent now, during the easy money
market and make the big saving of Y
| of one per tent on all these bonds for
the full time of twenty years, or un-
| til they mature or are refunded
| Now's your time, gentlemen commits
sioners. The State Journal will take
$4,000 of them at per cent; they are
| better than gold dollars because they
are transferable like a five dollar bill
and, mind you, draw interest.

INCREASE ENLISTMENT ALSO
New Plan to Give All Reserve
Ships Full Crews.

Washington, May 1S.-The admin
istration has decided on a complete
change in its naval policy and viii
shortly make a demand on congress
for a big increase in the construction
program to be authorized a. this ses-
sion.
President Wilson and his cabinet
consider that the naval appropriation
bill which will be reported to the
house by the naval affairs COMMITTEES
on Saturday is inadequate. Accord
ingly. they will seek to have the meas
ure amended in the senate to provide:
One. Six new capital ships instead
of four. These will be apportioned as
follows:
Dreadnaughts, 2; battle cruisers. l.
Two. An increase in the enlisted
personnel of the navy of 900 instead
of Is, 500.
Three. Authorization for the presi-
dent to call out 10000 additional men
in time of emergency.
Four. "A naval appropriation of
$3.50, 900 instead of approximately
$235, 100000.
500, 900 Increase
The appropriation last year was
s15e, 100000. 1t was declared today
that the administration is willing to
assume full responsibility for the in
crease of $100,000,000.
The administration announced its
national defense program for the navy
last October. 1t comprised five
year building scheme which called for
total of ten capital ships in the five
years. For the first year only two
dreadnoughts and two battle cruisers
were asked for and for the second
year two dreadnaughts and no battle
cruisers.
1t is now proposed to authorize the
first year the six capital ships origi-
naIly called for in two years, and it
| is expected the total of ten will be far
exceeded before the five year period
! expires. 1t was considered improba Bile
| today that congress will adhere to the
! five year building scheme but Will
provide for one year at a time.
Plan Full Crews.
| 1t was also the purpose of the ad-
ministration originally not to provide
! full crews for ships in reserve 1t is
proposed now TO have no vessels IN
reserve but to keep all in fun com
mission.
The increase of $500 enlisted men
to be authorized by the house bill
would provide a 100 per cent crew for
every navy vessel built and building
except those in the reserve and 10
per cent quota for the latter. The
policy had been to keep Is per cent or
a full crew on each vessel in reserve
but Secretary Of the Navy Daniels In
creased this to 40 per cent.
