by Henry Morsenthau, former American

appeared in the interests of Joseph E.

her plans for world conquest in, 1870.
He said. in part: y.

Wisconsin Candidates for
Senatorship to Close Cam .
paign Monday Night.
cONCEDE BERGER LITTLE


MILWAUKEE. Wis. March 30.-cam-
0aigning In the special senatorial elec-
tion win continue throughout the state
mp to Monday. the night before the
election. The campaign began only
last Monday. and at that time there was
much talk in both republican and demo-
cratic camps of the menace Of a social
ait victory. This died out as the days
svore on.
Speakers for Irvine L. Lenroot, the
republican candidate. and Joseph E.
Davies. running on the democratic
ticket with the backing of President
Wilson, in the last few days have given
socialism little more. than passing mo-
stice. They give Victor L. Berger, the
socialist candidate for senator. a, chance
only in Milwaukee, Sheboygan and
Manitowoc counties, and they do not
concede these. Daniel w. Hoan, social
ast candidate for mayor, however. is
conceded the best chance in the Mil
Swaukee mayoralty election.
Vice President Marshalrs speech in
behalf of Davies at Madison last Tues
day was appropriated by the republic
cans. His structures on the loyalty OF.
Wisconsin republicans were seized
upon. translated into German, Swedish,
Norwegian and Polish, and mailed
throughout the state from republican
headquarters
Z The democratic campaign to date has
had as its keynote the fact that the
President wants Davies in the Senate;
that his election would forever e1imi-
mate any shadow of suspicion as. to
Wisconsin's support of the war. Mr..
Ienroot has been attacked for his at
fitude on the McLemore resolution and
other ante-bellum measures.
At republican headquarters it was as
serted today that Davies would carry.
but eight counties over Lenroot. Chair
man Labudde of the democratic state
central committee ridiculed the claim
and reiterated that Davies would win
by $4,000 votes, il a total of $4,000
are cast.

Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia would

officers for an army Of 5000. 900 men.
81 would have them work out plan
for factories in which to manufacture all

have the preliminary machinery completed
so that when we call the additional men
to the colors we will be ready to put
them in shape in the shortest time pos
sible to use them If the necessity arises:
for IL It does arise, time will be of the

I hope we may rely upon the Presi-
dent to see that intelligent plans are

dent and the Secretary of War should
require from military experts"
Senator Smith said that a proper
vision of the work of the War Depart
ment required that before declaration

should have been ready to draw from
their desks complete plans for the or

sociation, is to be composed of seven
members, to be appointed by the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Senate.
In compromising the dispute over ad-
vances of the corporation through the
federal reserve banks the conferees
! provided that the interest rate shall be
l per cent higher than the discount rate
in the respective reserve districts. They
struck out the House provision restrict
ing such advances when the banks had
not exhausted their resources in loans
on commercial papers.
Provision for Exceptional Cases.
In the case of direct loans in excep-
tionaf cases by the corporation to war
industries, including railroads and
public utilities. the conferees retained
the Senate provision for Adequate"
security, and instead of requiring 1873
per cent security, as the House bill
provided. the conferees fxed the secur-.
ity basis as 125 per cent and provided
that the loans shall be made on the
basis of the value Of assets Of the
borrower.
Another provision adopted by the
conferees would prohibit the corpora
ton from lending moro than 10 per
cent of it's capital stock to any person
tions, betterments and road extensions.
Indirect loans through the federal
reserve bank to any one person or
corporation shall not exceed 12h per
cent of the total capital stock and

POSTWAR TAXATION
Mr.. Kitchin Predicts Heavy
Burden and Big Bond Issues
After Conflict.

s.Possibly" there will be no effort to
raise taxes during this session of Con-
press, but heavy taxation and big bond
issues>may be expected for several years
after the war, according to statement
made OH the floor of the House yester-
day by Majority Leader Kitchin in re-
sponse to questions on the liberty bond
bill.
He was asked when Congress would
commence to tax those who are now
making war profits and go easier about
taxing the next couple of generations.
Must Be Considered Soon.
1.-The question is bound to be con-
sidered soon,' he said.
Discussion of increased taxation was
begun by Representative Huddlestone
of Alabama, who Interrupted Mr..
Kitchin's explanation of the bond bill
to ask.
Il want to know how much longer
am expected to vote for more bond is
sues before taxes are raised. I am will
ing to give the government all the
money it needs. but do not believe we
should place the burden on future gen
erations. when a good part of this
generation is enjoying prosperity be-
cause of the war"
Mr.. Kitchin said he believed taxes
should be increased 25 per cent
He declared that heavy taxation and
big bond issues might be expected for
two or three years after the war, and
pointed to the great bond issue just
after the civil war.
But didn't those bond issues result
in the greatest imitation we have ever
known?' interrupted Representative
Sher1ey of Kentucky.

many bonds and not enough cash." re-
