We WILL HAVE
To HELP PAY
THE PRICE
SAYS PRESIDENT OF KANSAS
CITY CLEARING HOUSE Asso-
CITATION TO BANKERS CON-
vENTlON.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 2S.-"lt is
only on a false hypothesis that We
congratulate ourselves over the present
prosperity of our country, had at the
terrible cost of the distress existing
abroad We may as well make up our
minds now that we will have to help
pay the price. 1t may not come to us
in such severe form as it is now COM
ing to our friends across the seas, but
it must and will come in some way"
In those words j. w. Perry, president
of the Kansas City Clearing House
|, Association, of this city, asked the
visitors attending the annual conven-
tion of the American Bankers Asso-
citation here today to formulate plans
for the period that follows the de
claratiOn of peace in Europe. Mr..
Perry followed Mayor George II. Ed
wards in delivering the address of wei
come at the first general session of
the bankers week of activities here.
He said in part
Wonderful opportunities in bust
ness have been pressed upon us in
the last three years, and an accumu-
lation of wealth such as never was
known in the history of the world is
ours. With this great storehouse of
wealth, and the employment of all our
resources, in labor and commerce, we
must of necessity have been gathering
problems for the future When world
conditions have changed, when we are
no longer able to employ all our COM
mercial resources in profitable foreign
trade, when we must seek markets and
trade under peaceful conditions, and
when the gold of the world shall flow
out to pay the wages of millions of
men in peaceful pursuits instead Of
in war, then it will be that steady
financial policy, both governmental
and commercial, will be needed.

come, and when they do, it may well
behoove us as bankers to have our
house in order; for the greater part
of the wealth of the world outside of
America will have been either de-
stroyed or mortgaged for generations
to come. No man here present will
live to see the day when the accumu-
lating war debt of the warning ma
tions of Europe will be paid
Therefore, let us consider well the
signs Of the time, and so build our
house of finance that the breakers will
not fall too heavily on our shores. Sit
uated as we are, so far from the
scenes of war and not being engaged
in the manufacture and sale of war
supplies to any great extent, we be.
lieye ihis to be fitting place and an
opportune time to plan well the work
ahead Of the American banker. Not
alone are we influenced by conditions
abroad. Our own country has condi-
tions, political and financial. to be
solved. Such a mass Of legislations.
governmental, state and municipal as
was never thought of before, is being
enacted and the banking business
is getting its full share of attention.
| am, therefore, led to believe that this
is a most important time in American
finance"

Mixed, Good and Bad

Mixed, Good and Bad.
The fourteen new laws which the
outlook says are mixed, good and
bad" are:
l. The Army Reorganization Law,
which is good" because it strength
ems the Army and bad" because it
does not strengthen it enough.
>. The Naval Appropriation Law,
which is good" because it provides
for a Navy which will be only a lit
tie less powerful than Great Britains,
but bad" because it contains an item
of S11,OOO,OOO for building "an unnec-
essary government armor plant" in
which the government can make its
own armor plate instead Of depending
upon private contractors.
3. The Revenue Law. This is
good" because it establishes a Tariff
Commission and puts a duty on dye
stuffs. 1t is questionable" because
it gives the President power to re-
taliate against Great Britain for her
"blacklists" and her interferences
with American foreign mails. 1t is
bad" because it doubles the tax on
personal incomes that are over $4,000,
and establishes a Federal tax on in
heritances and a tax on the profits
of munitions factories.
4. The Philippine Law. This is
"commendable in spirit" but has a
tendency to weaken the authority Of
the United States in the islands.
In addition to the Il good, the four
tendency TO weaken the authority OF
bad and the four good -and-bad bills.
the Outlook commends congress for
not passing two bad bills which were
before it, and blames congress for
failing to take action on five bills that
it thinks ought to have been adopted

PLANTERS WORK
ON WAGETHEME
Long Meeting Of trustees Held
This Morning, With Indica-
tons of More Progress Made

For more than three hours today.
from $3.50 until after 1890, the mat
ter Of wage increases for plantation
labor was considered and debated a.
a meeting held in the office of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association.
AT the close Of the meeting an an
nouncement of plans was made, but
Il was apparent that final agreement
upon details had not been arrived at.
II is understood that fair and
equitable working plan has been
evolved and submitted to the Planters
Association. AS TO various minor de.
tails the plan has not been perfected
70 the satisfaction of all 1t was such
cetails that were gone over thoroughly
at the meeting he'd this morning and
1t was such details that we're subject
of;discussion and debate r.
To care for the various classes of
labor that are employed, it was stated
at the outset, is q problem that was
expected to take time and close at
tention to various details. To have
the increase 60 to the faithful and
steady laborer is another question that
is involved. II appears that the gen
eral plan covers all of these points,
and after the meeting II was said that
good progress was being made and
that definite announcement of the final
and completed piaR might be expected
in the early future.
Rumor still has it that the planters
virtually agreed on system of a 20
per cent !xtra wage for each 20 days
worked oy a laborer, and there has
never been any serious question that
a minimum wage plan must be adapt
ed to the extra wage and bonus fea-
lures. This minimum, it is reported,
will be the same as at present, but
the extra wage and bonus plan will
give labor much handsomer realiza-
tion on the years work.
Details Of the plan will be further
worked out this afternoon.
