PLAN FOR SPEEDY WORK
IN ORGANIZING HOUSE
Democrats, in Caucus, Nominate
Champ Clark fer Speaker and In.
struct Committee to Report Com
mittee Selections Directly to Main
Body.

IA Washington, March 80 Plans for
"A prompt organization Of the house
# when it assemblies Monday, so there
# may be no necessary delay in hear
kng President wilson's address, were
R made by the Democratic caucus TO-
Elay when Champ Clark was nomnat-
8ed by acclamation for speaker, ana
the ways and means committee was
instructed to report Democratic com
mittee selections directly to the
house
This latter provision will eliminate
the usual delay Of submitting the Sc
lections to another caucus and was
made in the interest of saving time.
Present house officers were renoml-
mated and present Democratic mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee renamed.
This committee acts as the commit
tee on committees and will make ali
committee selections for nomlnatloh
to the new house. There were lsl
members-elect in the caucus when
was undisturbed by any serious hgnts.
Thirty-three Democrats, some OF tnem
classed as insurgents, failed to sho"
up.
Representative Gallivan of Massa-
.chusetts. who has announced his op-
position to the organization plan, was
not at the capitol today but ss1u ne
would be here when needed Sew
eral of the 33 absentees consulted
with Gallivan upon their arrival here
and have expressed sympathy Win
his stand.
Organizauon leaders continued to
declare today that they did not be-
lieve the insurgent movement Woulo
prove serious Most of the absentees,
they declared, were members who haa
not arrived in Washington in tlme'
but would vote for the slate on MOI
day.
Mr.. Clark is confident Of the re-
election when the house meets MOI
day. There was no opposition TO MIN
TODAY and it took Is minutes to make
the nomination. Representative
Shackelford, a colleague, maze tne
nominating speech and the formallty
of voting was dispensed with. MT.
Clark has been in congress more IMAM
20 wears and has been speaker OF the
last three congresses.
Tonight the Republican organlza-
tion committee of 27 had long meet
ing, but failed to decide upon any de-
finite course to be recommended TO
its party conference tomorrow.
The only action taken was the ap-
pointment of a subcommittee to pro-
pose to Democratic leaders an agree
ment to pair for the speakership tight
all absentees on account of sickness.
Neither side has any definite lnfor-
mation as to how many of its mem
bers may be absent Monday but there
probably will be one or two OF eacn'
A pairing agreement would make the
big parties even in any event and
virtually place the selection in the
hands of the five Independents.
Representative Capstick, reported
seriously i'll, notified the Republican
leaders today that he would be pres
ent when the house convened.

 RESPONSE FROM TIE PEOPLE OF
 UNITEDSTATES;; GREAT INVESTMENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct. 20. - The following facts set forth by the treasury department regarding the second issue of the Liberty oan show in concise form the advantages of these bonds as an investment for the people. They are as follows:
 Second Liberty oan Facts.
 Amount-S3, 900, ,000, GOO.
 Interest-Four per cent, paid twice each year.
 Exemptions-From all taxes except estate taxes, surtaXes and excess profit taxes.
 Redeemable-In 9 years, or at gov ernment's option aften ten years.

 Twelfth district allotment-S21O,- OOO,OOO minimtin; sS5O,OOO,OOO de sired.
 Californi's quota-Not yet computed.
 h-lcn lO e-ANCW
 l. More than 99 per cent of the people of the United States can invest in the second Liberty Loan per cent bonds without being in any way affect ed by their able feature.
 2. The new As are exempt from all state and local taxes.
 3. The income from the new f per cent Liberty bonds is subject only to surtaxes.
 f. Surtaxes are levied only on in comes in excess of 5000.
 5. Out of total population of 110, 900, O,O00 in the United States only 400,- 900 persons paid income taxes in 1916.
 6. Only 246,00O paid surtaxes.
 z. Five thousand dollars face Va lue of new 1 per cent Liberty bonds are exempt from all taxes whatsoever, present and future.
 8. An individual may own (proyid- ing he has no other capitaD s13000GI Liberty Loan As and pay no taxes.
 g. The income of an individual from Liberty Loan bonds (providing he. has no other income) is exempt up to s5,20O. Of this exemption s5,O0O rep resents the per cent interest on bonds of a face value of s125,O00 tex empt from all normal taxes) and $200 represents the interest at 4 per cent on bonds of face value of S5,000, ex- empted from all taxes (paragraph ?, Liberty Loan act).
 The new 1 per cent Liberty bonds are exempt from all state and local taxes.
 The new 4 per cent Liberty bonds are exempt from the normal federal income tax

Out of the sixteenth century comes an appeal for the Liberty Loan:
 The speech made by the prince Of Orange in 1865. when the Netherlands confederacy was threatened by Philip II of Spain as the world is periled today by Emperor William of Ger many, is as direct an appeal today to the nation for funds to carry on the war as any that can be made in this twentieth century.
 The prince of Orange in 1865 said:
 Let not a sum of gold be so dear to you that for its sake you will sacrifice your lives, your yves, your children and all your your descendants to the latest geenrations; that you will bring sin and shame upon yourselves and destruction upon us who have SC heartily striven to assist you. Think what scorn you will incur from foreign nations, what crime you will commit
Bisbee daily review., 1917-10-21

The United States offers you an op- portunity to invest in the safest se- curity in the world and will pay you per cent interest on your money.
 The estimated wealth of the United States is about s25O.OOp 100000. Our national debt was a little more than s1 ,O00, 100000 before the break with Germany. Adding to this the S2,000, 100000 borrowed in the, first Liberty loan gives a total national debt of a little over 1 per cent of the total wealth of the country.
 The yearly incomes in the United States are estimated at about $40 000,000,000 or 13 times the total na tional debt Cncluding the first Liberty Loan) and about 400 times the an nual interest charges on our total debt.
 If a man should come to you and want you to lend him 5000 and you knew he owned property worth S60OO; if you knew that his yearly income was S13,000 and he gave you his note would you lend him the 5000?
 Will you lend your money to the United States on such a basis?
