ments were impaired to about forty

the clerks upon information sent to
him by the federal authorities.
The duties that will devoIve upon

ton measures for army and navy

by the mayor He told as to how
they will be required to sit at the re-
spective polling places to register and
enroll members of the male popula-
tion, according to law, and he de-
fined the required method of proce-
dure.
While it is compulsory for poll

fined, the mayor expressed gratifica-
ton over the willingness of the
clerks present last night to serve vol
unfairly without compensation, and
also over the offers to let the polling

The Eastern railroads Will go be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with a better case statisti-
cally than they could make last
spring, and they are confident that
their pleas will receive favorable
consideration. Just what form their
demands will take is uncertain; that
will depend upon the outcome of
Wednesdays conference in Washing
ton. If the attitude of the commits
sion seems favorable it is probable
that the carriers will ask for a hori-
zontal increase in freight rates /;
otherwise they will seek permission
to advance rates on the commodities
which were exempted under the COM
missions decision, and perhaps slight
advances on other commodities. In
either event railroad securities, now
selling far below intrinsic values in
many cases, should be benefited.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-16

The truth is, short selling has had
very little to do with the decline in
security prices. Bonds have dropped
quite as precipitately as stocks, until
they are at the lowest level reached
in twenty years or more, and it Is
plain that short selling has had moth
ing to do with that. Obviously much
bigger things are back of this great
decline in values. Perhaps the most
important single factor has been the
constant liquidation of securities by
rich men who are seeking to avoid
heavy taxation imposed under the
war revenue bill by shifting their
funds into tax exempt securities,
principally the first Liberty Loan
and municipal bonds. There is no
doubt that this has been taking place
on a large scale; some of those who
have been making the shift frankly
admit it. Ordinarily these same men
might be relied upon to support the
market under conditions such as OBJ
tain at present. As it is, they are
not only Withholding support, but
actually contributing to the decline.
by continued selling.
