BY I. A. FLEMING.

Much pressure is being brought to
bear on the lawmakers and not a little
on Treasury officials to impress upon
them the facility with which a per
cent tax-free. short term bond. for
the third liberty loan. could be fioated-
The chief argument against it is that
it would favor tax dodgers. While this
may be true to a certain extent, it
would create such demand for the
issue that the desired volume could be
readily sold, and would be much more
likely to remain in investment hands
until refunded, to the aid in the mar
ket of the other issues and the great
saving in cost of further refunding
operations on the outstanding bonds.
Taxes are admit edly heavy and are
almost certain to be increased; indeed
lit is within reason to expect heavy as
sessments in aid of the great opera
tons now progressing. There is no
question of the patriotism of the small
buyer, he will go far, but the banks
and the big corporations and capital
lists will have to repeat their orders
also.
1t is believed that such a bond as the
issue referred to would remain contin-
uously around par and in times of
peace. if not refunded. would be above
par. However, the issue will be sold-it
has got to be-and oversold, whatever
the rate authorized.

"A merchant pyramids credit on

Call to Supreme Effort.

The economic readjustments neces-
STATED by the transformation of an un-
unarlneI ard peaceful nation into
formidable armed combatant have
caused unavoidable losses and hard
ships. Such things can no more be
avoided in time of war than sacrifices
of blood if the rights of the nation are
TO be INDICATED and made safe for the
future and a just peace is to be secured
for the world.
We must face these trials with phil
osophy. resolution and calmnesS We
must see in them not alone the inspir-
alton but the call TO supreme effort.
When these establishments have been
completed. il viii be found that all the
brains and energy of the nation which
have been released from occupa tons
noneSSential to the war. will be re-
quired in enterprises and activities
which are essential to the war and
that the welfare and prosperity of the
country as a whole will not be i'm

Farmers Savings and Liberty Loan:

J. s. Bache has this pertinent comment
to make
We have seen no atistical figures
showing growing prosperity of the farm
of the United States, but some indica-
ton of the conditions is contained in the
statement of the Northwestern National
Bank of Minneapolis. on the increase in
time deposits in the state banks and
trust companies of Minnesota Montana
North and South Dakota. These time de-
posts represent savings, and the show
ing in these states undoubtedly reflects
the condition generally in the aSrl-
cultural states. These savings in the
states referred to amounted, at the end
of 1917, to $3.50, 900, 000-an increase dur
ing the year of s50.000,00o.
1T is difficult. offhand. to estimate
what might be the total amount of
savings by farmers during the year
1917. on the basis of the northwestern
states mentioned, and including the
great wealth which has come to the
cotton planters, the sum would prob
ably approximate .o0o,000,000, and
ight exceed it.
Here is mass of savings peculiarly
fitted to be put into government loans,
because the farmer. having had little
experience in buying securities would
have furnished him an obligation OF
the very highest class in the world, at
good rate of intereSt-in fact, an
ideal investment for him. The thing
is to make him see it. 1t is said that
creased in the country communities,
but it is a fact that this is zone for
