Quite a number of bank shares
changed hands during the week.
Excess Profits Tax.
The subject of taxation is now alb
sorbing public attention, and Con-
gress will be obliged to give it close
attention in spite of the recess
According to Henry Clews & Co..
taxing excess profits Is much wiser
than government ownership. "be-
cause it automatically adapts itself
to fair methods; and where there are
no excess profits the supertaxes do not
apply"
This banking house points out fur
ther, that the permission of excess
profits Is justified on both moral and
economic grounds. In the first place
the government takes the excess,
so there is no profiteering; and in
the second place enterprise is stimu-
lated by liberal profits, while the
government applies one of the surest
and fairest forms of taxation. and
labor is more certain Of good wages"
This house states that there is
nothing discouraging in the financial
outlook as q whole, and that the
market seems likely to fiuctuate be-
tween moderate limits.

LITTLE CHANGE SHOWN
F.. IN THE MARKET PRICES
Tendency Indicates Small Heed
Was Paid to Won Hertling's
"Peace Speech"
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. July 13.-In the dull
stock market it was hard to detect
any financial judgment on the speech
of the German chancellor regarding
war aims and the conditions Of peace.
His statement. as reported by Copen-
hagen, that I'VE have no intention to
keep Belgium in any form whatever"
seemed to indicate an approach to
what has been from the outset q pri-
mary demand of the allies; though Won
Hertling's idea was that evacuation
of Belgium would be conditioned upon
receiving concessions elsewhere Thus,
in one breath, he apparently made
the offer absolute and conditional-a
fact which may have accounted in
large part for the seeming indiffer-
ence of the stock market toward the
, announcement.
Tendencies Discussed.
Even in an ordinary year, midsum-
mer is not the period when financial
markets give clear indication Of the
trend OF affairs. As a rule, the gen.
eral tendencies of the year-dnancial,
industrial or political-will already
OF the springtime, and 1t Is left for
the autumn months to develop both
the money market situation and the
conditions of the new business sea-
son. In the domain of trade, activity
Is usually at slack water in midsum-
mer. and 1t is SO in finance also.
War time has its own particular in
Huences, and the July markets of
such years al 1916 and 1915 responded
70 them with fair degree Of activ-
1ty; prices for the industrial shares
especially declining heavily in the
frst-named year and advancing
rather violently in the second. Those
movements were. however an express
sion of the fact that the fundamental
basis of values was shifting rapidly
and that the stock exchange was en-
Aeavoring, rightly or wrongly, to ad-
rjust itself to what seemed to be the
new basis. 1t hardly seems that any
such sweeping tendency is at work on
the markets of today.
Possibilities Indicated.
The summer and early autumn
German offensive. The later harvests
may fulfill the entrie promise of re-
cent months. The new revenue bill
may prove to be Unexpectedly fair,
and 1t may be found that the Octo-
ber war loan can be safely fixed at
a lower figure than the $4,000. .000, 900
suggested (the Treasury has already
made one very bad guess in such mat
ters) or 1t may turn out that tho
markets are able to handle the full
amount successfully.
If all these things were to happen
the autumn stock exchange would
certainly respond with q movement
ss emphatic as that Of three months
ago. But the bridge must be crossed

Widespread thrift and economy will

and permanent conditions in mind. ee-

Governor Riggs has also exacted
promise from Secretary of the
Navy Josephus Daniels for war
ship which will be used to convey
the governors to the meeting place
in Alaska at the appointed time, and
thus disposed of the sea transporta-
ton problem.
The visit of the various governors
of the states and territories to
Alaska will be of incalcuable bene-
fit to the territory, and even though
their stay may be very short, will
result in this vast territory being
better known and more talked about
than ever before. The governors
will, no doubt, study conditions here
and will be in position to advise
those in their respective states who
may wish to come North, as to the
actual conditions from information
CLEANED at first hand.
The need for advertising Alaska
in the States is greater now than
it ever was before, and it is hoped
that the fullest possible advantage
will be taken of the fact that the
next gubernatorial conference will be
held in Alaska.
The conference now being held at
Annapolis will be adjourned tonight

GOVERNORS MAY MEET IN ALASKA NEXT YEAR
LONDON PREPARING RECEPTION FOR u. S. PRESIDENT
NEXT CONFERENCE
TO BE in ALASKA

ANNAPOLIS.-At the annual con-
ference of the governors of all the
states and territories which is now
in session in this city, Governor
Riggs, of Alaska, induced the major
ity of the governors present to reach
a decision that will have a very far
reaching effect for the entire terri
tory.
This important decision is that the
next annual conference of the gov
ernors be held in Alaska.
To most of the governors of the
various states, Alaska is more or
less a terra incognita", and by
reason of the distance to be travelled
and the poor transportation facilities
available, it was thought, for a
while that the scheme would be con-
sidered visionary and sidetracked for
a better one. Several suggestions
were made for the next meeting
place.
Governor Riggs would appear to
have worked hard to induce the
majority of the governors present
to agree to come to Alaska, and a
definite decision was arrived at to
hold the conference in Alaska next
year, presumably in Juneau, pro-
vided that half of the members of
the conference can attend.

Explorer.

NEW YORK. - The American
Geographical Society has presented
the Charles P. Day medal to Viii
jhalmar Stefansson, the we'll known
Arctic explorer, who had only re-
Gently returned from an exploration
trip.
In speech in which he acknow-
lodged the honor conferred on him
by the society, the explorer made
a strong plea that no efforts be
made to civilize the Eskimos inhabit-
ing the far northern regions on the
ground that civilization had always
brought ruin in its wake for the
Eskimo. He instanced the discov-
cry, by an Englishman, in 1925, of
a tribe of Eskimo estimated at about
five thousand, and said that as
result of the introduction of civiliza-
ton among them, there are now only
forty survivors of that tribe. The
civilized mode of living, he said,
was unsuited for the rigid Arctic
cline.

NICELY PREDICTS
RUSH TO ALASKA

Writing to his mother, who is a
Nenana resident, under date of
November 20, from Camp Lewis,
Willis Nicely, who left Nenana for
the express purpose of enlisting just
as soon as the authorities would
allow it, says that all of the Alas
kans who came into Camp Lewis
with the exception of two of them,
were down with the flu, and that
eight of them died.
Willis was transferred recently
from the coast artillery to the am
bulance corps, and says he likes his
new duties very much. All of the
Alaskans in the camp are talking
about coming North as soon as
the good Lord will let them. He
says that the times and the wages
on the Outside are not what they
are represented to be, and that
Alaska is long way better in every
respect.
They had not heard when they
would be discharged from the serv-
ice, but expected to hear most any
day. Willis thinks that the pill
grimage to Alaska will be big one
with about as much excitement and
enthusiasm as shown at the rush
to the Klondike.
