World of Finance finance

On the other hand those responsible for the conduct of affairs should avoid drying up the sources of capi- tai by excessive drains, for that way lies industrial depression and busi- ness reaction which can easily be avoided by reasonable methods. Tax ing thrift, or discouraging enterprise is not good politics or good states manship. The proposed withdrawal of $7,0O0,000,000 of capital if carried out is sure to divert vast sums from ordinary channels of investment, thus diminishing the demand for la Dor and preventing the ordinory growth of business enterprise. Both bonds and notes will probably be used in installments for use as need ed and the full seven billions may never be needed. Ordinarily this country invests somewhere about two to three billions. annually, so that the new bonds if entirely emitted would absorb practically all of the country s savings for a couple of years, to the exclusion of new enterprises. Some shifting of investments from high grade securities to these new bonds must be anticipated, but the Treas ury may be relied upon to avoid un- necessary shock; the fact cannot be ignored that we are turning the country's savings on a vast scale from purposes of production to des- truction. The proposed heavy taxes on profits will naturally excite much discussion and prove an important stock market influence. Excessive taxes will also powerfully stimulate the demand for new bonds, since the owners of large fortunes will doubt less transfer a considerable portion of their investments into this new form of tax-free investment. Rail- road affairs are not as unsatisfactory as appears on the surface Poor January and February reports which recently appeared were due largely to increased expenses resulting from bad weather and higher wages. Gross earnings continue large, and there is good ground for hoping that the In- terstate Commerce Commission will grant some advance in rates to off set the forced growth of expenses. Peace prospects are not at the mo- ment a serious factor in the situation. and the whole business outlook is so uncertain that operations of all sorts should be conducted on a day by day basis until the future becomes more clear.

 STOCK MARKET ~~~~~~~~

Noon-Operations broadened later and pressure became more general. Soft spots were uncovered by the in- creased selling of professional traders and additional liquidation seemer to result from the Presidents proclama- ton emphasizing the need of economy and small profits. United States fell 1%, with 2 A for Bethlehem Steel new stock and one to three for most indus trials and war supply issues. Marines weakened on reports that Great Bri- tain had extended it's control over ships of British registry and railroads made further concessions. Bonds were irregular, with United States govern ments half to 2 F points lower on call.

Creek County Plans Drastic
Prosecution of Men Who
Fail to Answer Call.
World Creek County Bureau,

World Creek County Bureau,
1l9k East Hobson.
SAPULPA. Okla, Aug. 15.-One
hundred and fifty men called to ap-
pear before Creek county exemption
board for examination as to their fit
ness to serve in the new national army
had failed TO report when the time
limit set for their appearance expired
today The number is believed to be
the largest of any other county in the
country.
Drastic action in dealing with the
men who have ignored their summons
to come forward were promised by
the board today but just what methods
will be invoked were not revealed.
The names of the men were compiled
tonight and wired to the government
officials at Washington.
Sheriff Woofter was called into con-
ference by the board today but re-
fused to reveal what line of action he
woIld take. 1t is intimated, however,
that the sheriff proposed putting his
newly recruited army of one hundred
vigilantes in the field to comb the
county for the men and turn them all
over to federal authorities.
1t was said today that the big anti
draft mass meeting scheduled to be
ably caused many of the men who are
still out of the fold to throw down
the gauntlet to the government.
Only eleven men reported to the ex-
amining physicians today. and tonight
the board closed its books and an
nounced that tomorrow it would e.
gin passing on the claims filed for
exemption from service.
SO engrossed was the board today in
preparing. for the drive on the Stacker
element that there was not time to
compile the results of the eXamina-
tions which have proceeded daily since
the middle of last week.
Approximately $40 men appeared
before the board and of this number
only 100 were found FIT and waived
claims for exemption. About four hun
dred were accepted by ,he physicians
but filed exemption claims, while 120
failed to pass the examination and
were discharged.
