Congress Fixes Amount

Credits 10 allies now amount to $4.-
960.000.0O0 and about $4,000. 200. 900
authorized loans yet remain to be ex-
ecuted. This would not be sufficient
to continue the rate OF s500,000.000 a
month through the summer months.
and consequently an additional au-
thoriZation Is asked by secretary Nc
Adoo. The amount Of this will be de-
termined by congress.
The legislation to deposit tax COL
lections with banks is sought as n
measure to prevent big accumulations
of funds in the treasury when taxes
are due in June.
Most officials believe that desipte
the low goal set by the secretary ac-
tual subscriptions will far exceed
s3,O 900, 900, 900.
A measure to encourage sale of Lib
| erty bonds by removing the limit OF
| loans which national banks may make
to borrower who wishes to buy
bonds was reported TO the house today
py NHdlIIlldll 1liSS al the bdilhiH6 tHu
currency committee.
Secretary McAdoo had indorsed the
bill in letter saying:
Il am told that there are good
many banks which will because of this
| limitation decline to make loans
| where their customers desire to sub
scribe. 1t also furnishes n convenient
| excuse for those who do not want to
assist in the Liberty loan campaigns"
AS director general of railroads Mr..
McAdoO today asked railroads under
government control to report on the
amount of Liberty bonds of each is
sue sought as investments or for en-
ployecs. the amounts now held and
the amounts sold. together with the
disposition and sale price.

For Future Issues.

In addition to the foregoing prin-
cipal items Of the proposed program
congress will be asked for authority to
issue bonds to the amount Of s4,500,-
600. 900 in addition to those now au-
thoriZed. in order to provide for fu-
ture issues. for authority to issue ad-
ditional treasury certificates Of in
dcbtedness, for authority to make adj
ditional loans to the allied govern
ments during the summer and for au-
rthority to deposit income and excess
profits taxes with nauoni-l banks and
trust companies in the same manner
as the proceeds of Liberty loans.
Il am sure that the people will re-
spond to the third Liberty loan with
the same loyalty and enthusiasm that
characterized their support Of the first
two loans. The great events now hap
pening in France must fire the soul
of every American with new determi-
nation to furnish all the dollars and
all the material resources Of America
that are needed to put an end to the
execrable atrocities Of German mill
tarism. Defeat faces the kaiser. Let us
hasten it by asserting Americas might
with increased vigor in concert with
our gallant comrades"
Most bankers and business men
with whom Secretary McAdoo had
conferred recently indicated that they
expected a loan of about $5.000,00o.-
900 at an interest rate higher than
4 IA per cent They brought word
that the country was ready to absorb
that amount.
Secretary McAdoo's advisers were
not unanimous in their opinion o'
what the interest rate should be. bu'

THIRD LIBERTY loan
MCAdOO Asks for Only Three Bill

INTEREST Rate Ala PER CENT
Now is the Time for All True Amer
cans to come to the Aid Of Their
Countrywide Money is Needed and
Il Is Needed Now.

Countrywide Money is Needed and
II Is Needed Now.
Washington. March 25-The third
, Liberty loan, To open April VIII be
for $4,000. 900, and all ovcr-SaD-
scriptions at 1 la per cent interest.
Bonds of the first loan bearing .
l-2 per cent interest and Of the second
loan at per cent may be converted
into the new bonds, but those Of the
third loan will not be convertible int"
any future issue.
This announcement was made to-
night by Secretary McAdoo with the
comment that the great events now
happening in France must fire the soul
Of every American with new de-
termination to furnish all the dollars
and all the material resources OF
America that are needed to put an
end TO the eXecrable atrocities of Ger
man militarism.'
In connection with the loan, the
secretary plans to establish a sinking
fund with which to purchase back any
bonds Of the third loan thrown upon
the market. In order TO aid in keep
ing the price up to par. The maturity
of the bonds is yet to be determined,
but il was officially stated that they
would bc long term, probably between
20 and 80 years. Other features which
will be settled as soon as congress
PASSES the necessary legislation ar"
the length of campaign and the terms
Of payments on the bonds.
Some Surprise Shown.
Most financial observers were sur
prsed 1T the comparatively small size
Of the loan. and ut the interest rate,
both Of which tEey had expected to be
higher. Reduction of government en-
pcns"s and allied loans below the
former estimates Is responsible for the
loans. Secretary McAdoo explained. He
said the bonds were made non-con-
vcrtiblc TO put an end 10 expectation
OF higher interest rates in the fu-
ture, indicating his purpose TO main
Tain the ii rate for future loans.
Legislation will be drafted tomor-
row by Chairman kitchin Of the house
ways and means committee, to pro-
vide for an additional bond authoriza-
ton of $4,5OO, 100000 more than the
$3.50, 100000 sum already authorized
but unissued for the increased interest
rate for continuance of loans to the
allies this summer and for issuance Of
more than the $4,000. 900. 900 Of certi-
ficates Of Indebtedness now authorized.
An effort will be made to push this
legislation through both houses this
week, so that final plans may be made
f9r the thiEas{4PeytY loan and the
enSraving for the bond faces by the
first of next week. No opposition to
the legislation is looked for in either
house.
In Announcing the loan Secretary
McAdoo made the following state
mcnt

Statement by MeAdoo.

The secretary OF The treasury In
Il conference with ..lr. kitchin, chair
man of the house ways and means
committee today outlined his plan for
the third Liberty loan, actual eXpendi-
lures of the United States govern
ment and of the allied governments
having been much less than had been
indicated by the estimates. the amount
of the next loan will be only $1,000
900, 900 the right being reserved to al
lot oversubscription. The secretary
will ask authority from congress TO
issue bonds bearing IA per cent per
annum acceptable at par and accrued
interest i'm payment Of United States
inheritance tax. and having the bene-
tit of Il sinking fund of per cent per
annum during the period of the war
and for one year thereafter.
1t is the belief of the secretary that
the rate now proposed is sufficient
and that by restricting unnecessary
capital issues and by inducing the
people who subscribe for Liberty
bonds to save and to keep them for
investment, and by purchases with the
sinking fund from those who find
themselves compelled to sell, future
increases in the interest rate may be
avoided. In order to put an end TO
the expectation Of higher interest
rates. it is proposed that the conver-
sion privilege shall be eliminated from
the new bonds. but the holders of Lib
erty bonds of all existing issues will
he given an opportunity to convert
their bonds into the new 4 1-2 per
cent bonds

The necessity for further authoriza-
ton for certificates of Indebtedness
arises from the fact that about S3,-
25o.o0o,090 already are outstanding
and the treasury plans to issue more
than sl,000,000 5000 more before the
third loan closes while the maximum
authorized under present law is 81
900. 900. 900.

NUMBERS ARE WANTED.

The complete success or this Liberty Loan is not alone in getting the money the government needs. b,t u distributing that burden to the people in general It is far greater credit to any community to have sold To a larger quota of individual subscribers than expected, Chan to have merely oversu6scribed tae sum total of fine quota
 The money itself i. one thing essen tfal and the distribution ol thc bur den, or the moral effect on the people. another thing The government want. everybody to have a bond Of some fig ure. The government wants the workers 10 have a fifty dollar bond or a hundred dollar bond or a lar-e bond, The government wants the man who can not pay all for his bond to buy one and pay weekly for it. The $50 of the man of small means is worth little more to the govern lnent in proportion than the large sum of the man of big means - DhsnS we make up o1r report here We must not alone show the sum to- tal of the work, but how many sa3- scribers there were 10 the loan. Then the population is figured, and on that result will the government know just how strong we endorse our nation in time of peril
 1t would be corking aood idea for the minor organizations Of the city to take this subject up and work it out, because if loo subscribers can be added to the list. 1t win he worth much even if the loo suscrlbcers d9 lot take but a $50 bond each.

IF ACTUALLY ENGAGED.

Young men now within the prepara- tion service, or young men who are expecting to answer a call at ane moment and who are actually eu- gagged in the work of farming, may ob- tain furloughs through the proper channels. This means that in order 10 obtain such delay in entering the service the man must establish before the board that he is engaged in work of the soil, and under those conditions the board will be instructed to give a furlough to the man. and to call others in who are not engaged in farming until the farmers get through with their planting
 In the harvesting time the same rue win apply The planting and the har. yesting of crops is war essential When the harvest period comes the government expects to permit thou sands of privates to engage in Nc harvesting work. These men win bel entitled to furloughs, aud will go Col the work on salaries, and will be paidI the same as other farm labor

The coup otl is of the opinion that thc sale of beer and light wines in hotels can be modified SO that the use of beer and light wines may be permitted to be served under such regulations and as will best meet the mod crate wishes and demands of patrons
 The hotel is an essential part ot the progress and importance of every town and city in our nation There fore we feel a justifi.ation in asking our lawmakers 10 consider well the business interests of hotels before prohi5itory laws that deprive the hotel of the atmosphere of home in which one may be privileged to eat and drink in accordance with his own tastes and desires with due ob- seryance of tine ethical standards of regulation and temperance.
