 After three year test, such as the world never before had seen, the finan- cial situation of Great Britain was such that the Right Hon. Reginald Me Kenna, Chancellor of the British Ex- chequer, thus describes it: If we were to end the war at the end of the cur rent financial year-that is to say, on March 31, 1917-our present scale of taxation would provide not only for the whole of our peace expenditure and the interest on the whole national debt, but also for sinking fund calculated to redeem that debt in less than forty years, and there would still remain surplus sufficient to allow me to abolish the excess profits tax and to reduce other taxes considerably"

America Knows How to Finance a War

"IE United States. through the
 experience of the warning Eu-
 ropean powers, has acquired a
 tremendous fund of prepared ness information. Americans who have served with the European armies and navies have made available to us their valuable experience in the world war.
 In the less spectacular, although hardly less important, phase of the struggle. war financing, this country has also had skilled observers. It has not been neceAary for them to visit the scene of the struggle In way the scene of the struggle has come to them. Much of the planning of the financial side of the war has taken place within the sound of the chimes of Trinity church, ill lower Broadway, New York.
 By reason of our newly acquired leadership in the worlds finances we know how Europe has financed her self to meet the strain of her tre- mendous struggle. Money is the 
 has kept her sinews pliant and effi- cient
 America, therefore, is in much bet ter position, from both military and financial standpoints than we were at the beginning of any of the five wars, which brought us face to face with weighty economic, financial and social problems. The problems of the Revo- 'utionary War, the War of 1912, the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish American War, were of less magnitude than those which we face now. but comparatively they were much more serious
 The banks and trust companies Of this country, through which Europe has conducted much of her war financ- ing, are at one with the nations indus tries in affording the government the resources with which to meet the even tualities of war. For example, the Guaranty Trust Company, of New York, has recently reduced to book form it's fund of information on war Financing. In n pamphlet entitled War Loans and the United States, ,' there is some rather striking informa- tion. One result of our new position as world market, it points out, is a

marvellous increase in our stock of gold. The United States now holds approximately thirty per cent of the worlds supply. This is an increase of thirty-six per cent over the amount held by this country in 1914, and upon us is thrown the obligation of employing it intelligently. We are discharging this obligation by using it as a basis for foreign loans and the extension of credit.
 Facing, as we do, the possibility of floating in this country not only Euro pean war loans, but also loans of our own, it is comforting to realize that the financial strength of Great Britain and France has not been affected in the slightest degree by the tremendous strain to which it has been subjected in the last two years and half. The wealth and resources of both countries are so enormous that there is no proba- hility of loss through loans to their

MAGMA CONTRACT FORPOWERPLANT GIVEN APPROVAL

At special meeting of the board of governors of the Water Users associa- ton held yesterday afternoon, the pro- posed contract with the Magma Cop per company whereby the copper peo- pie will build a power plant capable of generating 500 kiloWatts and practically present it to the project was approv- ed. The details of this remarkable proposition Were made public through The Arizona Republican some days ago by Project Manager Cone who negoti- ated the highly favorable instrument.
 Under this agreement, the Magma Copper company agrees to furnish the capital to build and install a hydro power plant on the old Chandler power site and to run a line in from Gold fields. From this plant the company is to take power for 10 years at least, half of the power bill to be paid in cash and the other half to apply upon the re- payment of the capital advanc- ed that at the start $60 900 of the cost of the plant is to be considered as paid back That is, the company donates $60, 900 of the cost of the plant at the start for the privilege of getting the power it needs.
 The copper company is to pay the following rates Tor power. Up to 50,000 kWh, 1 cent; over 50.000 kwh and under 100000 llWh, 9 cents; 100,-. 900 kwh to 10000 kwh. s cents; over 15O,0 GOO kWh, 75 cents. This is regarded as a good rate for hydro power.
 The company is also to be allowed to take peak load power from the other units of the system. This is power not apportioned and it's sale is really a clear gain as it cannot nor mally be used. It could only he of service to a customer such as the Magma Copper company, which has steam plant to furnish juice when their surplus over normal load had vanished for a greater or less time.
