ARE PREPARING
FOR LARGE FINANCING
:
BY I. A. FLEMING.

.Another issue Of Treasury certificates
limited to s4oo,ooo.ooo. bearing DAFT
January % and payable April %. has
been announced. this following on the
issue of an underlined amount Of certif-
fcztes maturing In juno and issued
largely In anticipation Of the income
tax payments.
The fact that the issue announced
hate yesterday Is payable April % has
caused many bankers to anticipate the
date as the one to be selected later as
the date for the first installment pay
ments Of the third liberty loan bonds.
These certificates will meet with
ready sale, in anticipation OF the loan.
a-.subjcct which bankers do not care
to discuss In detail, although hoping
that the market will be In especially
favorable condition to help along the
movement when the campaign starts.
With high-grade commercial paper
readily salable at 51a to per cent
money is being kept well employed. but
1t is plainly evident that the banks
are keinping themselves in as strong
n position as possible for the demands
that will be made on them during the
next few months.
In some banks the nope IS eNpTeSSeu
that the Treasury Department may con-
tinue to finance itself with certificates
for a considerable period until the worst
of the great income tax nnancing -
over Payments on the tax bill will not
be made in the majority OF cases until
June, but large taxpayers Will, II wise,
complete their financing for this pur-
pose. before the bond issue is made.
Commercial paper is being purchased
by local banks in large amounts, some
of the more important institutions go
ins out of their way to get paper. for
the reason that it is so readily redts-
countable at the federal reserve banks.
As stated before. bankers do not care
to discuss the probable rate Of inter-
est on the next bond issue. and 1t is
likely that the situation will be very
carefully sounded by the Secretary OF
the Treasury before making known his
decision in the matter.
Moreover, It would seem as II author
isation by Consrsss would be REQUIRED
IL the issue is to be as large as has fire.

THE ISSUE.

The present political campaign in
North Dakota is not Tight between
Republicans and Democrats. The
great issue is between those who be-
lieve in autocratic Socialism on one
side and Representative Democracy
onthe other. 1t is a contest between
the ideals Of government, economics
and society that have been advocated
and is still being advocated by men
like DR.. Liebeknichs, Karl Max,
Lenine, Frotzky, Debbs, LeSueur.
Bowen, Townley. Lenke and Brinton

They tell you that this single tax
amendment is aimed at the specu-
lator: that the farmers Of North
Dakota improve the land and the
speculator gets the benefit OF the
local Improvements and consequent
ly the farmers should pay no taxes
on the improvements. This argu-
ment sounds quite plausible insofar
as it goes. but what about all classes

It seems to me that even from
selfish motives the last class Of
people on earth who should be in
favor OF a single tax is the farm =
ing class.
The purpose Of taxation is to
raise money to run the government.
II we eliminate personal property
from taxation we must correspond

erty. as the money must come from
somewhere. But for any man to
claim that in order to reach the

to be too stupid for serious discuss

 ise. at the rate of construction attained, would be impossible. The Shipping Board at first rather resented the doubt introduced into the situation, but later admitted that it's program had falien up to the beginning of October 1917. twenty steel ships behind the schedule. We now have it from E. N. Hurley, chairman of the board. that between October3l and March l this country will turn out 100000 tons of ships" Between October 31 and March 1 means a period of four months. One million tons in four months, assuIn- ing the continuance of this ratio, would mean that the tonnage to be produced in the succeeding ten months of 1918 would be 2,5OO,OO0 bringing the total in 1918 to only S,5OO,OOO or 2.5o0,OOO be- low the total named by the allies as the 1918 reduirements of the United States.
 But it would not be fair to figure in this way Mir. Hurley quickly adds to his first statement: The new goal of our expectations is ten times the production of 1916. Every ounce of our energy and initiative must be directed toward the achievement of the great est task ever imposed upon nation in war We are going to build 5000 GOO deadweight tons of ships in 1918. say we are going to do il because know that anything America sets out to do. she does
 There can scarcely be any question as to the native ability of the United States to rise to and pass the figure set by the alhes within the time limit named. But 1t must he clear to every intelligent observer that even native ability must fah short of achievement when it permits it's hands to be tied. If the task set for the Republic. which lt has checrfuliy accepted, is to be ac- complished, it must be done by chang ing radically the methods of dealing with the most important factor in tl.e whole situation, namely labor. To be- gin with, labor must be transformed into service the laborer must be made subject to discipline The construc- ton of ships is a job for soldiers, quite as much as the construction of trenches, or the fighting behind them The country is at war, and there should hereafter be no recognition of differ cnce between a strike and q mutiny on the part of those enlisted. actually pr potentially in the nations service
 The public will take MT. Hurley at his word. but it will hold him strictly to it. He promises at least 6.0O0.000 tons of ships in 1918. That year will not have advanced very far before it will be possible to judge whether or not his promise is being carried out. As a matter of fact, the prospects of his success may be accurately deter. mined by the steps he shall take in advance toward construction. The na- tion will heave sigh of relief and gratitude when it's Government, thru the Shipping Board and every other proper agency, shall assert it's author ,ity over all those persons engaged in work essential to the winning of the war.

SYSTEM
 OF SETTLING THE
 LABOR TROUBLES

Publicity is the sole means en- ployed by the French governmen: in enforcing decisions in the case cf disputes between seamen and en- ployees in the merchant marine.
 According to advices just received by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the department of labor, the port wardens of the various ports are required to offer their services as concilliators in all disputes involving twenty or more men. In case of failure of such arbitration the mat ter is referred to a superior con- mittee of 12. made up of equal num- bers representing employers and en- ployees. Two members must be magistrates when the board is ready 10 decide a case; its decisions are announced by means of posters dis played at the entrances to the of fees of the port. No penalties for noncompliance are provided for.
