Notwithstanding the fact that This
county has in the past year or SO
raised over half million dollars for
Liberty Loans and other war funds
the various banks Of the county show
by their November statements that
the community has done this without
psrceptible furry in its financial
system. The condition OF all the
banks remains strong. While there
has been some decline i'll their total
resources, this however isn't any
thing like might have been expected
after such q drain OF money from the
community. 1t is almost unbelieva'
Bile that We could raise such a great
sum OF money in 80 short time and
with such undisturbing affect. we
have done our part In the money
raising line during the war and still
find the cash balance good.

strike amendment was delivered to the
committee at its morning session by
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation OF Labor. He
charged that the steel companies and
other large trusts are back OF the
Thomas amendment and that they
are urging it at this time In order to
gain a strangle-hold on organized
labor. The purpose of the amend
ment. he said, is nothing short OF an
attempt to conscript labor.
Baker on Married Men,
Regarding the intention of the War
Department to so arrange the ques-
tionnaries that every married man will
determine automatically his right to
exemption, Secretary Baker said:
We wanted to arrange the rCgula-
tions so as to save 4 married man
who ought to be exempted from the
humiliation of claiming exemption, by
making the process as automatic as
possihle. The theory upon which we
want to work this draft Is that no
married man whose wife and children
are dependent upon the continuity OF
his earnings, and who will not be
able to live on his soldiers wages,
will be drafted. The draft will apply
10 those married men whose incomes
are adequate to provide for their
families, those whose families have
independent incomes, and those men
whose families provide for them.
The reason for the exemption Of
the married man Is dependency and
not status"
