THE CHICAGO EAGLE
FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Announcement Is made that the
Merchants Loan and Trust company
and the Union Trust company have de-
cided to enter institutions in the fed
eral reserve system.
The published announcement states
that the banks made this decision
after the matter had been thoroughly
considered by T.. ID. Hubert, presi.
dent of the Merchants Loan, and F. II.
Rawson, president of the Union Trust.
Several of Mr.. Hulbert's sugges.
lions at the time the federal reserve
act was under consideration was sub
sequently Incorporated in the meas.
ure. But for special reasons the bank
up to this time has not favorably con-
sidered entering the system. The rea-
son for doing so now arises in part
from a desire to cooperate with the
reserve and national banks in a uni
fed effort to serve best, in a bank.
ing way, the interests of the country.
Mr.. Hubert is at present in the east.
The Merchants Loan is the oldest
state bank in Chicago, having been
established in 1857. It's capital, sur
plus, and individual profits total s11,-
100000 and its deposits $95,OOOO0O.
President Rawson of the Union
Trust company said:
I'VE have decided to go into the fed
eral reserve system in the event the
senate amendment, providing that we
may discount paper to the amount of
10 per cent of the banks capital and
surplus.
1--WE, as a state bank, will be al
lowed to retain all of our present
charter privileges and in addition the
ability to go to the federal reserve
bank in times of stress will enable us
to deal better by both our depositors
and borrowers. Instead of being
obliged to call loans we shall be en-.
abled to borrow from the reserve
bank. In every way I consider the
bank will be more useful to its pa
irons, the community, and the coun
try. Also we feel that the federal re-
serve board at Washington will ad
minister the affairs of the system free
from consideration of politics."
The Union Trust has capital. sur
plus. and undivided profits of $3.50,
900 and deposits Of $36,9OO,0O0.
A recent amendment to the reserve
act provides that state banks ma!
retire from the system upon a speci

BOOST THEIR OWN TAXES.

Tax officials say that the general
run Of personal property schedules is
higher this year than last. This is
true particularly among the larger
mercantile concerns. which have not
felt the necessity of retrenchment In
the matter of stocking up for the fu-
ture market. But even among those
who have adopted this policy Of re.
trenchment the increased value OF
their goods has usually served to
bring their schedules up to the valua-
tions of last year.
All tax valuations are made as Of
April /. The heaviest increases in
values are shown in the schedules OF
the grocery houses. II is admitted
of current date the valuations would
be much higher.
The William NJ. Hoyt company,
wholesale grocers at 465.4s7 West
Twenty.second street. filed one of the
most notable schedules bringing out
the increase in value of food products.
Last year the Hoyt company's SEIZED.
ule on grocery stock and other per.
sonal property amounted to s215,30S.
For this year Assessor George *.
Schmidt has received a schedule total.
ing s2s3,G37.
The representative OF the firm who
called at Mr.. Schmidt's Office said:
I'VE want to increase our schedule
this year. We have a lot of foodstuffs
we bought before the prices went mp
and we realize that they are worth
more than they were when we bought
them. We are willing to pay higher
tax on them. II the war is over next
year and prices go down, OF course
we expect to be permitted to reduce
the valuation accordingly"
The schedule bears the signature Of
A. G.. Bennett, secretary and treas
urer OF the company. When ques
toned later on the subject, he said:
This Is not patriotism on our part
II is just plain fact. The goods wen
up in value and II was our duty L

is made as of April !, as the law re
quires. If il we're of current date 4
would not be correct, for the goods

If values go down by next April w
shall expect to reduce our schedule
accordingly.
"Be sure not to attribute the in
creasing OF our schedule to patriots
motive. A schedule should be in ac
cord with the facts in all circum
stances"

CONTROLS FUEL OF NATION

Francis s. Peabody of Chicago,
head of large Illinois coal interests, has
been selected by the Council Of Nation
al Defense as chairman of its sub
committee on coal. Mr.. Peabody will
assume supervision of the production,
distribution and consumption OF coal
throughout the country. For the pres
ent he will act in an advisory ca
pacity.
He will see that no producer holds
back needed supply, that the rail-
ways carry coal promptly to vital
points and that no consumer uses more
than the situation justiiies. In a sense
he will be the nations fuel controller.
The government Is determined to
avoid coal shortage that would not
only embarrass military operations, but
would cause suffering to the civilian
population. The needs of the allies
must also be considered. Already
every railroad In the country has been
ordered to give traffic preference to
coal and iron ore. Although the FEEDER

CHICAGO TELEPHONE WORK IN
MAY.

The number of telephone move
orders handled by the Chicago Tele.
phone company during what is known
as the May Moving Period" was ap.
proximately $4,000. A part of this
total is estimated as all OF the move
orders have not yet been completed.
The number of move orders hand
led during the same period last year
was $4,000. while in 1915, the number
of May moves was $4,000
The volume of traffic over the lines
of the Telephone company is the heav.
lest in its history, and is due largely
to the extraordinary activity which
prevails in all lines of business. Dur
ing the first three months of the pres.

pany exceeded the number installed
