Defence Financing

Financiers are ready 70 back the gov
eminent in whatever it may deem nee
essary to protect the interest Of the
United States at home and abroad.
This will mean large bond issues in
the near future, and these issues must
be extended over a period of years
Continual war preparations are only
less expensive than war itself. and
differ from it only in the circumstance
that no soldiers or sailors are killed
or wounded. In all other respects war
and preparations for it cannot be dis
tinRuished from each other. A century
ago fleets did not become out of date
in a year or two, but now a battleship
built Yesterday will be consigned to
the scrap heap tomorrow. For these
obvious reasons it is the duty of the
government to seek an understanding
with all foreign powers after this war,
so that there may be cessation Of
the present rate in ornaments, and the
nations of the world be left free TO
use their resources for the sake of
constructive progress, and not in aim

A Nation Overfed

England and France have been
purified in the crucible Of war, and
it is altogether probable that our
enormously wealthy and easy-going
country would gain new power and
spiritual force by sacrifice and ma
terial loss. We are suffering from
a fabbiness which always comes in
a period of bulky pay envelopes and
self-indulgence. We are overfed,
while the men in the trenches, who
are fighting our battle under other
flags, are underfed. If Germany
forces the United States to make
war upon her, therefore, she may
get more than she is bargaining for,
since American ingenuity when put
to the test in protecting its own has
always been 100 per cent efficient.
Food prices have long been upon a
war basis in this country. Labor
Cor two years has been getting a
war wage. The best munition plants
in the world, manned by skilled me-
chanics, are ready for the govern
ment to say "go." The people arc
spiritually prepared for war in the
sense that the whole country has
been figuring the war hazard in
everything that it eats or wears ever
since the Germans began TO murder
innocent women and children on the
high seas. This does not mean that
the country seeks war if it can be
honorably avoided. But if it comes,
the American people will stand to-

The New Revenue Law

The new revenue law is in accord
ance with the present financial policy
of making the very well-to-do and the
corporations pay the additional taxes
that are required. Discussion Will
centre around the excess profits tax
Profits in excess of per cent of in
vested capital and a $1,000 exemp-
tion are to be taxed at the rate Of 8
per cent. There is going to be some
perplexity in determining the invest
ed capital, especially in the case Of
mining companies. The main diff
Guilty lies in the definition Of invest
ed capital" Invested capital is sup
posed 10 include cash paid in and
cash value Of assets at the time they
were transferred to the business. The
Alpha mine, producing 5o,00O,0oo
pounds Of copper per annun. at a
profit Of 8 cents a pound, may be
operated by a company that acquired
the property IS a prospect for $780,
900, which, together with the plant
and equipment, might represent all
the capital actually invested. The
Omega mine, on the other hand. pro-
ducing the same quantity of copper
Fer annum at the same profit, was de-
veloped by an exploration company,
which sold it to the present company
for 100000, which, together with
the plant and equipment that had to
be put in, represents the present cap
ital investment. The tax to be paid
by these two mining companies will
be widely different, or is there to be
a physical valuation such as the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
been trying to figure up in estimating
the capital value Of the railways Of
the country? There is going to be a
great Notwithstanding and Min
ing journal.

National Finances
Of Hungary Are
Called Hopeless
Country as a Whole on Verge
of Insolvency. Says
DR.. Palyi

Hungary's finances are IN hopeless
condition, and the country Is IN state
bordering on national insolvency. DR..
Eide Palyi, prominent Hungarian econo-
mist, whose books on after-war eco
nomic conditions and the customs
union with Germany have aroused the
greatest interest in the Central en-
pires. is authority for this statement
In an article in "Az EST Of Budapest
from which "The Morning Post" OF
London quotes, he discloses the fact
that "if the state were to seize the
whole of the agricultural products o.
the country after the war from the
producer ninety million kroner would
still be wanting to cover the interest
the state has to pay on the war loans.
He states that the whole Of the agri-
cultural produce of Hungary in 1914
realized less than $500, 900, 900, while in
dustrial production, including minerals
of all kinds, realized only something like
$3.50, 900, 900 a year before the war. He
argues that the war has cost up to the
present date 100000. 900, and that 4
sum of equal amount will be necessary
before the war is over to cover the ex-
penses of the war. The interest the
state will have to pay on this money
will be $500, 900 900, whereas the whole
national production does not exceed
$3.50 .OO0. 900.

From 7 rade Journals
A Bad Middle

II is difficult TO understand the situa-
ton in Canada with regard to the break
down in transportation. 1t is full of
contradictions. The railways issue and
withdraw cmbargoes, supply and refuse
to supply cars, haul and refuse to haul
goods, with degree of responsibility
that is beyond the comprehension OF
those who desire TO use their service.
The country is full Of empty or idle
cars, but has a shortage of motive
power. Goods the property Of the gov
eminent take precedence over all
others IN making their way TO destina-
tions. and get quick dispatch. while i'm
portant shipments of foodstuffs for
civilian use in Britain get no consid-
Grafton whatever and are frequently
left for months at or near the sea-
board, while ships intended to carry
them are obliged TO sail light or take
on other cargo. A quite frequent occur
renee lately is for -four intended for
England to reach points practically on
the seaboard, only to meet with re-
fusal on the part Of connecting roads
that are necessary to complete the jour
ney TO dockside. A matter of two or
three miles haul would complete the

Compensation Laws

Wage earners are not so fully and
properly insured against industrial &C
cidents as the rapid spread of work
mems compensation legislation would
indicate. Thirty-fve states, with some
70 per cent Of the employed popula-
ton, have adopted such legislation,
but there are striking differences IN
der the various laws as to the proper
ton of workers covered and the scale
of compensation benefits. Moreover,
no state compensation act covers all
employees.
The fact is, according TO a bulletin
issued by the United States Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, that many of the laws
adopted are far less comprehensive
than mere imposing titles would indi-
cate. In the first place, it is stated,
most of the acts are elective. Employ
ers who do not accept are penalized,
but in spite of this there are always
number who refuse to elect. In the
second place, all of the acts purposely
exclude certain classes of employees.
Thus, agricultural workers, domestic
servants and casual employees are al
most everywhere excluded. Also, there
is an important group of acts which
apply only to list of employments de-
clared to be especially hazardous, al
though in practice they may be no more
hazardous than others not included.
The result Of these limitations and
exclusions is to restrict the benefits OF
compensation very often to only
rather small fraction of the total num-
Der of workers.
There are striking differences be-
tween the several acts as regards the
benefits paid in case of injury. A few
extreme instances are cited. Thus, in
the case of fatal injury occurring in
the State Of Oregon, the widow and
children may receive in total as much
as s13,4s0, whereas in Vermont the
maximum would be $3.50, and under
the Oklahoma act no benefits at all are
paid in case of death. For loss OF a
hand the Alaska act may pay as much
as $3.50, while the maximum for the
same injury in Colorado is but $3.50.
Again, in Oregon and Porto Rico cash
benefits are paid for injuries Of no
matter how brief duration, whereas in
! Colorado no cash benefits are paid for
disabilities of less than three weeks.
The words accident" and Injury"
have different meanings in different
places. Generally speaking, the prac-
tice has been to limit compensation 20
accidental injuries in the strict sense.
There is a tendency, however, TO
broaden the term so as to take in the
more subtle injury of occupational dis
ease, such as lead poisoning, wood al
cohol blindness and anthrax.
II appears, therefore. that practically
all of the state compensation acts now
in force need enlarging and liberalizing
before they can be regarded as fur
nishing adequate protection 70 the
whole body OF wage earners. This, the
bulletin points out, has been a general
tendency Of recent amendments.

Monday, March 10, 1917.

Bonds, like stocks, made little re-
spouse to the momentous news de-
yelopments of last week. Yet there
were signs in the bond market OF a
somewhat broader inquiry. Toward
the end of the week some of the rail-
way issues eased off, tendency
which was no doubt due to the seem
ing imminence of strike of rail-
wav employees. The Russian news
brought a dip in Russian bonds
listed in this market, but the gen
eral opinion in investment circles
has been that the overthrow OF the
bureaucracy should in the end
strengthen confidence in Russian Sc
curjties. AS an indication of the
better demand for railway issues, a
small offering of bonds of the South
ern Railway subsidiary was taken
in the open market at premium
within few hours after the open
ing of the subscription books.
