WASHINGTON PAYS ITS
INCOME TAXESEAS|LY
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Washington will go through the In
come tax payments for 1917, due on
Saturday, without any furry sin the
money market. although deposits Will
. suffer more or less severely.
One guess at the amount of income
tax paid by residents of the District
of Columbia is as good as another
and there is no way of verifying the
total. Two local bankers made estio ST.
mates this morning, one of S2,00O,0oo
and the other of s3,000,000.
Many more people will pay taxes
the months of time given for prepara-
tion for payments since the returns
were made people have generally
made arrangements for the settle
ment day.
Very large tax payers have, in many
per cent discount permitted and made
payments at the same time returns
were made. Some few big loans were
reported.
The trust companies. while expect
ing moderate Withdrawals of de-
posits, report that there has been
little borrowing in anticipation of
income tax payments.
Washington as commercial CEN
ter has increased in Importance
greatly in the last few years" said
the head of one national bank, land
many of our retail merchants, even
some of those on side streets, have
been great money makers and will
pay or have paid fat taxes under
the existing income tax laws.
'AII indications are that the Treas
ury certificate plan, in anticipation
of income taxes through the pur-
chase of certificates. has worked so
satisfactorily that there will be none
of the anticipated stringency in the
money market in any large center.
Washington has plenty of money to
pay Its taxes and care for it's busi-
ness demands"

Publicity Plans.

The most costly enterprise of the
committee was covered in a request
for $500. 900 for civic and educational
publicity. in which, Mr.. Creel stated.
25.000.000 pamphlets in seven Lam
guages already have been distributed.
A teachers service bulletin is PLAN
ned. he said, together with "in-
tensive work in schools"
For work among foreign-born per-
sons $500, 900 was requested by Mr..
Creel, to be used largely in patriotic
educational enterprises.

Strong, But Very Slow.

The weakness did not extend very
far, better war news coming stead
lily all morning. while keen satisfac-
ton was felt over the outlook for the
income tax payments to be made Sat-
urday Much credit was given the Sec
retary of the Treasury for the treas
ury certificates of indebtedness prop
osition that made easy the payments
of perhaps S3,500,000.000, without any
serious furry in the money market,
although the dullness in the noon
hour may have indicated that there
were still some questions as to the
money market.

opinion that conservatism will guide
the lawmakers and the governing
heads in these strenuous days. Cop

WHY CHAIRMAN HAYS WAS S

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The selection Of Mr.. VIM H. Hays,
Of Indiana, as the chairman Of the Re

caused great distress in Democratic
circles. The leading Democratic news
papers of the United States are very
much dissatisfied with his e;ection, and
they are particularly annoyed at the
harmony which prevailed at the ses-

their heads mysteriously and say that
there must be a reason for this unlock
ed-for state OF affairs. The new chair
man has been placed under the micro
scope. but they find no flaws in his
personality or mis- past The critics dt-
