CONTROLLER DEFINES
BONUSES AS USUR|0US'
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Another warning on usury has been
sent out by the controller Of the cur
rency, with especial reference to
''bonuses. and Commissions" which he
holds are not allowable or legal when
the payments exceed the legal rates of
interest.
1t is within the province of the law
for banks making real estate loans to
obtain from the borrower an abstract
of title and a valuation of the property
at his expense, but commission In ad-
dition will not stand in law.
Many lenders claim that a cooperation
cannot set up the defense of usury. but
the controller holds that this position
cannot be sustained.
when a bank, in addition TO legal in
terest exacts an additional sum from
corporation as condition OF the loan
the loan is tainted with usury. which
cannot be collected by terming it
bonus or collateral"

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. April 26.-Prospects for a
reduction of acreage brought about
sharp advance today in the corn mar
ket. Increases of winter wheat and
oats acreage were said to be largely at
the expense Of corn. and it was also
said seed troubles were operating to
diminish production of corn. Unfavor-
able weather counted likewise as a
bullish factor. Opening prices, which
ranged from 1s off to 17s advance. with
May 1.27M and July 1.51h to 1.52H.
were followed by indications of still
greater strength.
Oats showed some sympathy with
the upturn in corn. The slowness of
demand from the east. however, acted
as a decided handicap to the bulls.
After opening unchanged to sc higher,
with May S3H to 81, the market scored
slight further gain, but then UNDER
went material sag.
Provisions were irregular. Lard was
in demand. but pork and ribs tended
toward weakness. Belgian orders were
said to explain the buying of lard.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Lard barely
steady; middle west, 25.25a25.35. Other
articles unchanged.

One Reason for Backwardness.

One reason for the real or apparent
slowness of subscriptions to the third
liberty loan is found in the fact that
corporations with big excess profits
and income taxes are not buying as
freely as they did on either Of the
other loans, and that the railroads of
the country, being now under govern
ment control are awaiting the word of
the director general on subscriptions.
It is reported that the latter does not
desire other than the very prosperous
roads to come to the front as buyers.
But while the railroads themselves
are not as large buyers as while under
corporate control, the employees are do
ing their full share, reports showing
that western roads had taken over
$25.000.000 up to April IS.
None of the railroads understands ex-
actly what its contract with the gov
ernment is yet. Government may
control the disposal of all income.
Said the president of the New York
Central:
Realize that the railroads have been
taken over by the government. Would
the Post Office subscribe for liberty
bonds? Would the Agricultural De-
partment?'

The city election will take place next Tuesday. We do not suppose the voters of Phoenix have for gotten that likely forget it.

It would be a shame waste of time and energy, if those who qualified to vote should not make use of the franchise We do not suppose that 1000 votes will be on the election but ought to be very large percentage of that number.
 Having in mind all past experience though there will be many who cannot. or think they cannot, go to the polls and Will not go unless under steady urging. Every effort should be made to get them That will take organization. Those who estly care for good government should see to this.

What it Means

To great many Americans, to most Americans contributed to it in one way or another We have sent our sons and brothers and with some pride at their going because others were doing the same We have bought Liberty bonds without straining' our- selves just as at church give money to the mis- sionary cause rather because our neighbors do than because we have burning interest in the souls of the heather. All this time we could not clearly see now the result of the was going to affect us seriously.
 The thunder in France though, is clearly heard We can see the flashes from the cannon mouths which pointed west-at us. The sweeping of the British and the French out of the way is only in- cidentsl We hear of objectives. The objectves are not Paris, Amiens, the Channel Ports They are merely stopping places on the way Germany is at with America.
 We think now there cannot be an American so dull as not to understand that. But still many do not fully understand just what it means For their edificatcn we quote the following from an address the other day by Rudyard KipIing on war aims:
 We are fighting for lives, the lives of every man. woman and child here and everywhere else We are fighting that may not be herded into actual slavery such the Germans have established by force of their arms. We fighting against IS hours a day forced abour under the lash at the point of the bayonet. with dogs death and dogs burial at the end of it. We fighting that men, women and children may not be tortured burned and muti- lated. Under the Hun dispensation man will become

Six Machine Guns Fired By Single Operator

To increase the deadliness of the machine gun, American inventor has come to the fore with apparatus that enables from two to six of the weapons to be handled by operator and two assistants. The rifles can be fired separately in groups, simutan- eously, as conditions dictate. They are mounted in a rack and controlled by different devices that regu- late their respective elevations ranges and rates of fire With the contrvance it is possible for gunner sweep six targets varying ranges at the same tme concentrate the whole fury of the bat tery upon one of them. The mechanism is shown in detail in the April Popular Mechanics Magazine.
