Not a Rich Mans
War, Says Bedford
Head of Standard Oil of New
Jersey Addresses PETROL
cum Men

Speaking before the Independent
Oil Mems Association at the Hotel Bit
more yesterday, A. c. Bedford, chair
man Of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey and chairman Of the Ma
tioEal Petroleum War Service Commit
tee, declared that while labor has done
its part IN the war so has industry, and
50 have the captains of industry.
Talk is no longer heard" said Mr..
Bedford, "that this is a rich mans
war. The rich are sometimes accrcdit-
} ed with more or less foresight; they
are sometimes accused of shaping their
policies and opinions with reference to
their selfish interests. But surely any
man Of intelligence must have realized
that the entering OF our natson into
this titanic struggle could involve
nothing but tremendous sacrifice of
both blood and treasure. The rich of
cur country could not but see that
both they individually end America as
q nation had everything to lose from Il
material standpoint by our going into
the war Hut the fact is that all our
people, both rich and poor, has come
to realize that life on this earth for
ourselves and our posterity would have
in it but little that was worth while
unless all that Germany in this war
had come to stand for was absolutely
scotched and obliterated for all time"
Nothing in this war has more wonder
fully shown the power of public opin-
ion, no voluntary act has more COM
pletely demonstrated the VIII of the
people that nothing should be per
mitted to interfere with the winning
Of the war, said Mr. Bedford, than the
incident OF the gasoleneless SUNDAYS.

Committee Holds
Up Melon-Cutting
Keystone Tire and Rubber
Company Must Wait Till
After Liberty Loan

Directors of the Keystone Tire and
Rubber Company, ut the suggestion of
the Capital Issues Committee, have re-
scinded their action of June II calling
for 33 13 per cent, or 100000, cum
mon stock dividend Instead pending
the approval of the government body,
the board has authorized distribu-
tlon of Is per cent, or s225,000, par
value common stock, in the ratio of
fifteen one-hundredths of one share
for each share now held. The appli-
cation of the company to distribute the
larger dividend on November / was
refused on the ground that it might
prove injurious 70 the fourth Liberty
Loan campaign. In this connection the
official statement Of .he directors
said:
"At a hearing before the regional
United States Capital Issues Commit
tee for the New York district. that
committee suggested that the payment
Of SO large dividend at this time
would not be considered for the best
interests of the country, especially in
asmuch as 1t might bring on the mar
ket S500,000 additional common stock
Of the company and might interfere
with the floating of the fourth Liberty
Loan.
"Thc United States Capital Issues
Committee in Washington has, how
ever, adopted the policy not to pass
upon the application made to il before
the close of the present Liberty Loan
campaign, and your directors have,
therefore, deemed it advisable to post
pone the payment of the stock dividend
| until the Capital Issues Committee has
given its final approval. The stock of
your company viii, therefore, not sell
ex-dividend on October II, 1913, but
If, as anticipated, the Capital Issue s
| Committee hands down favorable
opinion, your directors will then fix q
date for the payment Of the dividend
of which due notice will be given"

effectively reached by the income tax,
which is entirely natural, because in
this case the income tax can neither
be retained at the source nor are the
large body Of the farmers, many Of
whom do not keep and cannot be ex-
pected to keep books, in position to
determine their taxable income. Is it
conceivable that the politicians who
are so rigorous in their watchfulness
that no business profit shall escape the
tax gatherer would not devise means
to lay an effective tax if the same
situation existed in business indus
try"
Briefly referring to after the war
conditions Mr.. Kahn said he looked
forward for this country to period
of auspicicus achievement and great
prosperity, provided that relations be-
tween employers and employees are de-
termined on the basis of mutual fair
play and enlightened good will.

Australia Plans
Control of Imports

MELBOURNE, Oct. 1O.-Australia is
about to put into effect the license sys-
TEN for the control of imports, it was
announced to-day by ". A. Watt, the
Treasurer of the Commonwealth. The
Cabinet had approved the principle, he
said, and the details were being framed.
The sugar production of the COM
monwealth during the present season
has been reduced because of the un-
usual climatic conditions to the actual
requirements for consumption. The
government therefore has decided to
import 10000 tons as margin OF
safety.
Announcement was made by Treas
urer Watt that it was probable ar
rangements would be made to permit
the export to Great Britain of q lin
tied quantity Of Australian sole
leather.
