THE CHALLENGE OF THE

boosted of the success Of a new Ger

his Atlantic City speech said: Let
us meet that challenge by subscrfp-
ton to our second Liberty Loan on
Oct ~, nine days after the close Of
the German loan. which viii make
clear to the German despotism that
America marshals not alone her sol

the tax status of the new bonds. Some
important bankers believe that the
com bination of per cent and ex-
emption from all taxes of the interest
on $4,000 of the bonds In themselves
guarantee the success OF the sale. II
The interest on bonds owned in exr
cess of $1,000 of principal is likewise
exempt from normal income taxes. but
the supertaxes apply on holdings above
$4,000, provided the holders total taxi
able income places him in the Super
tax class. The owner of $4,000 of tha
bonds, would therefore pay no tar ON
the first 5000 of interest, but the sec
ond 5000 might be subject to super
taxes. In other words the amount OF
interest over and above 5000 from tho
bonds becomes general income, in the
same category as dividends on stocKs.-
subject to the ascending scale Of SUI
'pertax rates which begin at $4,000.
ITO the small subscriber the bonds
will be entirely exempt from all taxes.
Having no other income an investor
can purchase as much as $4,000 a.
the new bonds without paying any inr
come tax. This means annual inter-
est of $4,000 The first 5000 is en-
'tirely exempt and the remaining 5000
not being above the supertax limit, -
likewise non-taxable. OF course this
is an extreme example. and is predk

The success OF the pension fund

essary TO raise sum of net les than
five million dollars by March j.
Throughout the land the responses
to this worthy cause were s. gcner-
Gus that now it is reported that al
ready six and half million of dol
lars have been subscribed
Success in raising this amount CT
money means that hereafter the
clergy of the Episcopal church upon
their retirement or in case of dis
ability. will receive adequate ana
livable annual pensions. The annual
pension will be approximately one
lalf of the average salary. but the
minimum pension is 5000 per an
nun. In case of death, the clergy
mans widow will receive pension
of cne-half the amount the clergy
mar would receive if retired with
minimum of $500. and each child un-
der seven S1O0 per annum, under >
S2Oe per annum. from l. until self

Such ample provision as this places
the Episcopal church ahead of every
or religious organization in the
country in the matter of pensins. 1t
, il to be hoped that the Episcopal
ch rich has only "blazed the trail,
and that other bodies will follow in
her lead in a cause that is so deserv-
ing In many matters the church
has set an example for the world to
follow, but in the matter of pensions
for aged and disabled employees the
ichurch has had to lock to the world
for its example. The great success OF
the Episcopal church in her under
taking to raise five million dollars,
shows that 1t can be done. that peo-
pie will respond to this worthy
cause. THAT it is at least possible
for the great denominations in this
country to- make ample provisions
for their aged and intirm clergy
'tseir widows and orphans. To do SO
, is only just and fair and decent. and
ii makes for greater efficiency For
these reasons the government. the
railroads, the great corporations,
certain colleges and schools provide
pensions. 1t is matter of justice
The churches preach a gospel of jus
| tice In the matter of pensions may
they soon be able to put that gospel
into practice.

Dollar Silver Is Prediction
White Metal LOrdsburg Asset

~Dollar silver" which is being pre-
dicted by many in touch with the
metal market, will mean q great deal
for mining companies now operating
in the Lordsburg district, according
TO the opinion Of local mining ex-
perts. Local ores as shipped run
from four to fifteen ounces per ton
in silver, along with the gold and
copper.
In discussing the situation a local
mining man said recently:
1.-THE New York quotation Of last
Tuesday of SO SO cents an ounce
the highest price in twenty-five years,
is an advance of as 1-S cents since
1915, when silver sold as low as az 1-2
cents. This increase within the year
means that on the great majority of
ores from this district the smelling
charges or the freight and hauling
charges are taken care Of by the
steadily advancing market price of
the white metal. How much this ad-
vance may mean to the general pros
perity Of the big copper mines, many
Of which produce silver as a by-prod-
uct, along with gold, may be real
lied when it is known that the Ana
conda Copper company, for instance,
has a yearly production of nearly
10000, 900 ounces of silver"
When the Herschel report recon-
mending dis%continuance of free c DIN
age in India was submitted in June,
1892, the price of silver was 80 cents
in New York, having declined from
SO cents earlier in 1892, and from a
price of S1.29 per ounce, which ruled
during the days of free and unlimited
coinage at 16 to 1 (gold being worth
$20.67 per fine ounce then as now
The Herschel report gave free silver
it's death blow, destroying, as it did,
the last national bulwark of free sill
yer, the India mint. Since then the
price has gradually declined.
Beginning in 1915 a scramble en-
sued among European minis for sill
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1917-09-07

yer currency to replace the gold that
had been withdrawn from circulation,
and to have some semblance Of back
ing for the immense amounts Of pa
per money issued. In 1916 the scram-
bic Of Europe's minis for silver grew
heavier, and still heavier in 1917.
The German s~ubmersible Deutsch-
land carried back 500 tons Of the pre-
cious white metal.
Every Nation Wants Silver
Director Baker of the United
States mint asserts we are using five
to eight times the normal quota of
new silver for coinage purposes.
France and England are using TWEEN
ty or more times their normal quota
of. silver, and cannot turn out silver
coins fast enough.
All the minis in Russia cannot turn
out enough rubles, and Japan's minis
have been requisitioned. To add to
it all, India and China have devel-
oped huge trade balances in their IA
vor, payable in silver, and India, the
worlds greatest ~storehouse of silver.
is absorbing all the silver that finds
wav to it's shores.
Recent figures show that India and
u own mint have for months taker
than the total silver production
of the United States, and almost as
much as the combined output of this
country and Canada.
The heavy shipment of silver to
the orient has resulted in silver com.
handing a premium on the west
coast. San Francisco, Seattle anc
Vancouver quotations have beer
about 3 cents higher than New York
although freight and insurance be.
tween seaboards scarcely reaches thai
figure. Formerly our silver was
shipped to New York and London
and thence to the orient. Now oul
western miners save the freight east
and also receive about 8 cents ar
ounce more for their product in the
west.
