LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the fourth liberty
loan bonds will bear AZ per cent
interest.
The secretary has been insistent
that the government interest rate
should be stabilized at 4 " per cent.
He points out that raise in the rate
of interest of only one-fourth of l per
cent on $4,000, 100000 Of govern
ment bonds would mean an annual
increase of $25,0O0,000 in interest
charges, and that this money would
have to be raised by increased taxa
ton and paid by the people of the
country. 1t would not be paid by
one class only, because there are
consumption as we'll as other kinds
of taxes, and the consumption taxes
reach every class of people.
"As an intelligent people," said
Secretary McAdoo during the third
liberty loan campaign, I'VE should
now make a stand for the financing
of our government during the period
of this war at Stabilized rate of in
terest, say at Az per cent per an
mum, SO that all business and all in
vestments may be adjusted to that
basis, and SO that we ourselves may
protect ourselves against successfully
increased rates of interest on govern
ment loans"
Neither our patriotism nor our
support of the liberty loans are meas
ured in fractions of per cent.

HOW LOCAL BOARD
IS GIVEN LEEWAY
Deferred Class Men
Who Would Enlist in
Navy or Marines May
be Put in Class /.

In special cases, registrants in de-
ferred classes who apply to local
boards for certificates showing they
do not come within the current quota
in order that they may enlist in the
navy or marine corps, will not be
reclassif1ed in class one, as set out
in an order by the provost marshall
general last month, who held that
such an application would be an in
dication that the registrant was not
in need of his deferred classification
and that for this reason he should
be reclassified and made available
for pending calls.
Suspension of recruiting pending
new legislation extending the draft
age limits will cause the new ruling
to be inapplicable until recruiting is
again authorized, however.
May Be Special Reason
In communication on the matter
Of certificates received Wednesday by
the adjutant generals office, the pro-
vOst marshal general says:
Ordinarily the application indi-
Gates that the applicant no longer has
ground for deferred classification
and he is, therefore, rightly reciassi-
fed in class one. Special circum-
stances, however, may satisfy the
board that the applicant should be
left in a deferred class. II the APP
splicant is reclassified class one he
is not entitled to the certificate, but
If he is left in deferred class the
certificate should be issued"
In response to telegram from the
Utah headquarters the provost mar
shall general wired in part as follows:
Board Not Compelled
Board is not compelled in every
case of application for certificates by
registrant in deferred class to re-
classify him in class one. Correct
procedure on receipt of such applica-
ton is to reconsider classification of
registrant in light of his application
and such other evidence as may be
submitted. Ordinarily such applica-
ton indicates that registrant is no
longer entitled to deferred classical
ton, but special circumstances such
as opportunity to enlist in navy in
grade carrying pay substantially
higher than army pay may justify
contrary conclusion"

TREASURY OFFICIALS DISAGREE
WITH COMMITTEE ON TAX BILL

WASHINGTON. - Disagreement
arose again Monday between the
treasury department and the house
ways and means committee as to pro-
visions of the new revenue bill. The
treasury has submitted letter pro-
testing against Increases in the excess
profits tax rates of the present law.
The committee and the treasury
have reached an agreement as to an
80 per cent war profits tax based on
pre-war earnings, but have been I'M
able to arrive at a common under
standing on the method of reaching
excess profits, which classification it
has been estimated will affect only
about 10 per cent of the total cor
porations to be taxed.
The treasury asked that the pre-
sent excess profits lay be included in
the new bill with an alternative war
tax of 80 per cent. The committee
has tentatively agreed to an per
cent exemption, in addition to a
specific $4,000 exemption on excess
profits; with tax of 40 per cent on
profits between per cent and 20 per
cent, and 60 per cent tax on all
profits exceeding 20 per cent.
The committee submitted its decis-
ion to the treasury for it's views. The
treasury Monday, in its letter, which
was not made public, stood firm in it's
position in opposition to increase of
excess profits tax.
The committee Tuesday will pass
upon Secretary McAdoo's plan for a
3 per cent differential on unearned
incomes. The treasury has recon-
mended a normal tax of IL per cent
on earned, and Is per cent tax on
unearned incomes.

".rhe United States must be taken
down a peg. America Is growing too
presumptuous. She is obtaining too
much of the worlds trade. She is in
terfering with GermanX,s commerce in
TGrelga Iafids, and pilfhg up too much
wealth. Sooner or later we will have
TO show her with the sword the might
OF Germany, and teach her not to in
terfere with our commercial develop
ment."
How many American tourists have
heard this kind of talk in Germany !
They heard it from all kinds of peO-
pie; from diplomats, from merchants,
from bankers, from professors in the
universities, and from the man in the
street. Yet, in years gone by they
paid no attention to it; saw no German
menace. They merely puffed out their
chests with pride at the thought of
what great nation they represented,
and dismissed the German threats as
idle boasts.
Designs Hard to Believe.
1t was incOnceiYable to them that
sane people of a civilized nation could
actually think of taking up the
sword just because another nation
was showing some ability in capturing
q part OF the trade Of foreign
lands. They could not believe that the
German government actually had Id
contemplation a plan for making war
on the United States, taking away d
large portion of it's wealth in the form
Of indemnitics, and so crippling 1t that
it would no longer menace Germany's
world supremacy.
Such q tourist was Prof, Albion
W. Small, head of the department pf
sociology Of the University Of Cht-
cago. Professor Small knew Germany
as well as an American could. He
was educated in a German university.
He married a German woman; he
loved the German poets and the Ger
man philosophy; he had spent years
among the German people. Yet he be-
came convinced, after a time, that
Germany was actually planning blow
at the United States. He exposed the
plan in 19O3-five years after the Span
ish-American war, yet he was given lit
tie credence in this country.
Tells of His Experiences.
Professor Small tells of his expert
ences and conclusions in a pamphlet
entitled: "Americans and the World
Crisis" issued as No. 2 In the series
OF University of Chicago War Papers,
as follows:
'In the summer of 1903 1 was in
Germany on business which gave me
the occasion to sample the opinions
about our country of more different
classes Of Germans than had ever in.
terviewed before. The itinerary sched
uled stops at Cologne, Lucerne, Vienna
Budapest, Munich, Dresden, Berlin
and thence an excursion into Russia
