TREASURY CALLS FOR
TAX MONEY REPAYMENT
BY I. A. FLEMING.

National banks in the District re-
ceived notice this morning calling on
them to return to the Treasury De-
partment tomorrow, the 18th instant, 20
per cent of the tax money redeposited
with them in the spring. This will
take about 100000 out Of the banks
at this time and their government
deposits will be further depleted by
the repayment of certain percent
age of deposits on hand to the credit
of the war fund from the sale of
Treasury certificates.
The fact that about $500 100000 of
Treasury certificates have been issued
and sold in anticipation of the fourth
liberty loan and that considerable
money has been realized in anticipa-
ZION of income taxes of 1919. would
seem to indicate that the government
IS putting force without limit back

OILS MAKE BIG GAINS;
RAILS ALSO Stronger

NEW YORK. October 1.-THE stock
market enjoyed sufficient action and
price changes today to make it de-
cidedly interesting to investors IN
certain securities. Peace stocks were
favored, and the war shares were
let more or less alone, to the in
creased activity in specialties and
broader market for rails. which seem
very gradually to be becoming popu-
lar with investors once more.
Tho sensations of the day were
Texas Oil, Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred and Mexican Petroleum.. These
shares continue to advance by leaps
and bounds. many traders taking
profits occasionally only to get back
into the leaders at higher prices.
Some traders have very large prohtS
in these speciaItics. but they are still
holding on to their purchases despite
the tempting advances that haze been
made.

The Duluth Herald suggests in
an editorial that when this war is
over that we inaugurate LIB
erty Day" to be celebrated by
the Allies as THE day when the
world is at peace and all are
freed from whatever tyranny
they may have been living under.
The thought is a good one and
while the time for setting the
date is yet vague, it should not
be forgotten when the time is
ripe for it. America has its
Fourth of July, but there should
be one day all over the world dur
ing which time we should burn
the air and rip up seven miles OF
country road in our joyousness
over the advent of Democracy.
Make it a day that the crowned
heads and the ivory heads in Ger

of-but there wont be any
crowned heads then, happily AMI
hurrah. Speed the day when the
whole world lives as does the
United States and Canada Der.
der 5000 miles. long without
gun or a fort along the way. Rec
iprocity and not animosity should
be the Worlds slogan. Yes
when this time arrives and w,
believe it is beginning to show
