upon Americans bitterly and perhaps
dangerously. The government Is anX-

"The Bolshevism which is expressing
Russia was fomented by Germany,
which, having lost all hope of vanqulsh-
ing the Russian people on the battle
field, had recourse 10 intrigue. II
would be erroneous 10 consider that

IS SALVATION
 OF OUR COUNTRY
But for Federal Reserve Banking System America Would Now
 Be Paying Indemnity

CHICAGo.-If it woro not for thC Federal reserve system Uncle Sam might today bo paying indemnity to Germany.
 This was the statement of J. H. Trogoc. sccrotary-treasurcr of thC National Association of Credit Men speaking before tho American Trade Acceptance Council conference in session here.
 "The announcement that tho new Liberty loan is to bo S6,OO.OOO,OOO did not create a ripple In financial circles" ho snid. 'If it worc not foi the Federal reserve act it might have created panic; In fact, we would probably now be paying indemnity Co the Prussians. for we would have been unable to lend 80 much money Go the Allies or to mobilize such vast sums for war prosecution"
 Paul warburg. vice-govornor of the Federal Reserve system, outlined the features Of trade acceptance which Is being urged as a necessity in American commerce.
 "lt is ono of Che main virtues oI the acceptance system" he said that it makes for greater nuidity Of credit. Instead Of permitting ono section of the country to become overloaded in consequence of season. al requirements, absorbing all avail. able cash resources, trade accept ances bring relief by flowing into discount markets of other districts where money is plentiful"
 He pointed out that other coun tries. toward whose financial meth ods America is adopting the Federal reserve system is tending, are sue cessfully using tho trade accept ancw. He urged consideration of this medium of financing, not alon' from the standpoint of individual benefit to merchants. but from that Of benefit to the nation as a whole

ABOUT TAXES

Many people of Douglas seem to have a wrong idea of city taxes and seem to think that just because there is a temporary slump in the value of real estate that they should pay little or no taxes for the upkccp of the town
 IT those people would stop and think of the benefits they are receiving for the few dollars they have to pay in city taxes they would feel ashamed of themselves and pay up like men.
 Few realize that this money lights the streets, keeps the streets in repairs, policcs the town, provides sewers, and cducatcs the children and that it is the only money paid by them for any civic purpose whatever.
 Property owners i'm Alaska are the luck fest individuals in the United States. If they owned property somewhere in the states they would be compelled to pay, first, city taxes, then county taxes, and then state taxes and road taxes and school taxes and every little while am extra assessment for grading or sidewalks, the whole thing amounting to about per cent of the full valuation of their property. In Alaska a property owner pays one small tax not over two per cent on low valuation of the prop crty, and still they kick.
 Take for am example a man here who might own house and lot valued at $500, he might have to pay tax of $1O per year. He has three OF four children going to school, uses the streets and city lights ev- cry day in the year and gets all the bcne- fits of the city utilities counting police and fire protcctiou-still he kicks. Apply the above example to yourselves and walk up and pay your taxes like man and thank the Lord they vii let you do it.

Never before had England officially celebrated America's Independence Day; for the first time French and Italian cities vicd with each other in honoring an Ameri- can president on America's birthday and the South American nations adopted that holiday as their own.
 The fact stands out that the day is no Ilonger our own, but in the words of Hall Came, "thc Independence Day of the World" and it is predicted that July 4, I191S will stand out in the worlds history as marking the ccmenting of the ties that bind brotherhood of the people that have joined together to insure the worlds safety and progress and freedom.
 In our own country the day took on a new significance, as on that day Americans of foreign stock proclaimed their allegiance without reservation to the Stars and Stripes and to the Declaration of Indepcnd- cncc. and in New York City hundred thou sand people of forty-two nationalities paraded to show their loyalty. Among the Inationalitics represented in the parade were Albmiaus, Amcnians Austrians, Bclgians, Bohcmins, Bolivians, Canadians, l Cubans. Chinese, Central Americans Eng lismcn Frcnchmen, Films, Greeks, Ger mans, HolandcrS, Hmgarians, IriShmen, Jews, Japanese, Lithuanians, MeXicans, INorwcgians. Pcruvians, Poles, Portuguese, Russians, Rmanins Servians Scotch men, Swiss, Uluanians, Venezuleans.
 On the day French and British generals in the field exchanged congratulations with General Pcrshiug or issued statements of depreciation of what America has done. The Australian troops celebrated the Fourth in a most practical manner by cap turing the village of Hamel and more than a thousand Germans with the aid of Amer ican dctachments.
 England threw herself into the celebra- tion of America'S great national holiday with a will. There were special articles in the news columns, cablegrams from Amer ica. and in London eighteen thousand peo- Iplc, including King George ", went to a real American baseball game in which a picked Navy team defeated an Army team.
 All these happenings go to show that the nations of the world realize that Amer ica is in the world war to fight for national ideal, and that ideal is contained in the Declaration of Independence, the signing of which is celebrated on July Fourth each year
