Union Stage Depot Proposed
Would Simplify Matters For Public

week that he had presented the propo- sition of union depot to several of the stage lines and had talked it over with city officials. He said that the plans of his company are only tentative, but that he feels that they can be worked into something definite if the city should favor the proposition.
 From the standpoint of the public, NIT. Shaughnessy expressed himself as believing it would greatly simplify mat ters; that a union depot for all stage lines is much needed in PhoeniS. The stage business here is extensive and important. extending in all directions and reaching practically all points in the valley. with lines running as far away as Globe and Nogales.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to have A a union depot for stage purposes in Phoenix. Thomas D. ShauSh- messy. manager of the Egypt Stage company with it's depot in the building opposite the Adams hotel on Central avenue formerly occupied by the State Council of Defense, is fostering the movement.
 It was recommended by the commit tee of fifteen to the city commission recently that stages have depots and not permitted to do business on the curb. The recommendation. covering also number of other subjects. was placed on the table by the city com mission for consideration later.
 Mr. Shauehnessy said during the past

means of virtually paying their taxes
in advance.
Every effort will be made by the
treasury to make the number OF loans
as few, and the time of financial rest
between the campaigns as long as
possible. Officials would much rather
have only one more big solicitation
in addition to the fourth campaign
to start late next month, than two
before the end of the fiscal year
next June 80.
One particular reason in which the
treasury wishes to avoid floating pop
ular loans is the Christmas holi-
DAYS and the first weeks of compara-
tive commercial activity when there
is danger also of curtailed industrial
activity on account of bad weather.
Another bad time for loans is the
spring planting season, when farm
ers are busy and business men have
less time than usual to devote to
campaigning. The third period to
be avoided is June, when huge war
taxes will have to be paid.
No plans for future liberty loans
can be formulated definitely, any
| weeks in advance, owing to the un-
! certainty of the volume of govern
ment expenditures. Consequently
the program now in the minds of
treasury officials is highly tentative.
An example of the fluctuations of
expenditures is the fact that with
August. more than half gone, the
Allies have called for only s71,000,-
900 loan payments, little more
than one-third the usual rate of bor-
rowing.

RIG LIBERTY LOAN DRIVES.
Three of Them Planned Within the
Next Year.

Washington, Aug. 17.-TentatlVe
plans of the treasury provide for
three big liberty loan campaigns with
in the next year, each to raise So
900, 100000 or more, it was learned
today. The first will be from Sep
tember 28 to October 19, it has been
announced, the second is planned
for January or February, and the
third in May or June. This pro-
gramme will be necessary, it is ex-
planned, to provide the $16,0O0,OO0,-
900 which officials estimate will be
required to finance war operations
during the year, in addition to the
s8,OO0,OO0,OOO which may be pro-
yided by the new revenue bill now
being drafted.
If government expenses and loans
to Allies fall much below the S24,-
oO0,OOO,0O0 estimate the government
is expected to try to combine two
loans into one, being the largest
credit ever sought by any nation.
Such a campaign would be set for
some time in the late winter.
Money needs between loan periods
will be financed by the sale of short
term certificates of Indebtedness as
in the past. In addition, the treas
ury looks for steady inflow of
money from tax certificates, which
banks and corporations probably will
buy in billion dollar quantities as a

alton, and here again the French Gov
ernment came to our aid until our own
aviation program should be under way.
We obtained from the French the neces-
sary planes for training our personnel
and they have provided us with total
of 2676 pursuit, observation and bonlb-
Ing planes. The first alrplanes received
from home arrived in May and alto
gether we have received 1879. The first
American squadron completely equipped
by American production, including air
planes. crossed the German lines on
August 7, 1918. AS to tanks. we were
also compelled to rely upon the French.
Here, however, we were less fortunate.
for the reason that the French produce
tion could barely meet the requirements
of their own armies.
1T should be fully realized that the
French Government has always taken
a most liberal attitude and has been
most anxious to give US every possible
assistance in meeting our deficiencies
In these as we'll as in other respects. Our
dependence upon France for artillery,
aviation, and tanks was, of course. due
to the fact that our industries had
not been exclusively devoted to military
production. AL credit Is due our own
manufacturers for their efforts to meet
our requirements, as at the time the
armistice was signed we were able to
look forward to the early supply Of
virtually all our necessities from our
own factories"
