Business License Tax
Adopted By Committee

Washington. Aug. IA. - The house
ways and means committee was trying
to come to some compromise with the
treasury plan for an so per cent war
profit rate, leaving excess profit rates
as they are.
The majority of the committee is in
favor of raising excess profit rates
Secretary McAdoo may come before the
whole committee to explain his posi-
tion, but it is more likely that the diff
ferences will be threshed out in con-
ference with Chairman Kitehin.
The committee also adopted busi-
ness license tax. Retail establish
ments doing more than $4,000 worth
of business a year must pay tax of
$40 annually all professional men, ex-
cept preachers and teachers, are alse
taxed $40 year, and wholesale estab-
lishments doing business of more
than 100000 year will bear tax
of $25 annually
An additional 10 per cent is levied
on all jewelry made in whole or in
part of platinum. The other jewelry
tax is 10 per cent.

in marshalling and utilizing the coun-
try's credit facilities. Money and
credit, like other commodities, will
probably rule high for some time to
come; but the process Of equalization
operates constantly and tends TO equal
ize matters. There is also compensa
tion in the fact that nearly all Of the
money required to be raised by tne
government will be spent IN the United
States, stimulating war industries be-
yond the most sanguine expectations.
Heat, vacations and war activities
intensified the inertia prevailing in
the financial district In addition,
the Street feels the absence of many
active and able personalities who for
merly infused varying degrees of life
into the stock market, but who have
patriotically gone to the war or are
otherwise engaged in helping their
country. 1t is universally anticipated
that with the coming of peace there
will be a great revival of activity in
the financial district in the way of
launching new enterprises, that were
necessarily postponed, and in the new
adjustments and work of reconstruction
that will place heavy demands upon
industry and finance for years to come.
Present inertia in the stock market is
also much increased by the scarcity of
time money and restraints upon speeu-
lation imposed by the banks which
are already beginning to husband their
resources for the next loan which is
but a few weeks distant. Activity was
further restricted by disposition to
await more definite information con.
cerning the new revenue bill, which
is now being drafted by the house ways
and means committee and is likely to
meet with not few changes in the
Senate. Delay in the new contract be-
tween the government and the rail
roads was another eautionary influence
It is believed that a contract dealing
fairly with investors win ultimately
be reached; for the administration has
been fair and liberal in nearly all its
arrangements with capital: and there
is no reason 10 assume that it will
be otherwise in the case Of the rail
roads. That several Of the large rail
road systems should POSTPONE action
upon dividends, not earned in the last
quarter, is evidence of prudence rather
than distrust. In this connection, il
is worth noting that the British rail-
roads. which like our own were taken
over from their owners by the govern
ment, are reporting good earnings and
increasing their dividends; the Mid

panies, having increased their pay

HENRY CLEWS REJOICES
OVER GOOD WAR NEWS

New York, August 10, 19lS.--Good
news comes from the front. The war
tide is rising rapidly in our favor every
day and is as rapidly falling against
the enemy. The morale of the enemy
is now lower than at any time Of the
war, while with the allies the contrary
is conspicuously true Apparently the
British and French have launched a
new offensive with special success.
Germany has made three stupendous
drives on the west, all of which have
been flat failures, accomplishing moth
ing but grasping sections of territory
which she cannot hold and will be of
no permanent advantage. American
troops have already made a splendid
exhibition of fighting qualities, and
Germany will soon realize what to ex-
pect when our millions of ardent and
fearless young soldiers reach the front
in larger force. The German high
command had hoped to obtain a de-
eision before their arrival, but failed,
and today victory for the allies is not
so very far distant. Our government
is wisely making full preparations for
an army of immense size, five millions
or more, This is the kind of argument
which Germany best understands and
which is sure to hasten allied victory.
There is no need for special anxiety
about the monetary outlook. All that
is necessary is TO understand the situa-
tion and then make necessary adjust
ments. The nation has one great pur-
pose in view. winning the war, and
every energy must be turned in that
objection. The truth is, there is
tremendous pressure for credit upon the
banks. High prices for commodities,
labor, ETC., fully tax their resources,
and the expansion Of credit has been
very considerable Crops are moving
faster than usual; and with fixed prices
there are no inducements for farmers
to hold their grain. Business require
ments are unusually heavy; and the
interior banks are well loaned up. It.
is self-evident, therefore, that there
must be some eurtailment of credit,
especially in view of the approaching
for the next liberty loan.
During the new fiscal year the govern
ment win require immense quantities
Of money; one-third from taxcs, and
two-thirds in bonds or other obliga
tions. Such huge demands will, of
course, impose additional burdens up
on the banks and the money market.
Our banks are in sound position; our
resources are quite equal to
the enormous strain, and behind all
we have the federal reserve system,
which has almost accomplished miracles

to be market leaders, especially the
steels, though the uncertainty as to
new taxes is a general handicap to
speculative operations. Price fixing of
commodities also acts as deterrent.

The August government crop report
was in some respects a disappointment
owing to the July damage resulting
from drouth and other unfavorable
conditions. But July and August are
usually months of deterioration and
further damage might occur, except to
wheat, the harvest for which will soon
be ended. The government figures for

SWEDEN WOULD GRAB:

Finland assumes high tone toward Sweden, insist
ing that the claim of the latter to the Aand Islands is
without foundation and asserting "she will give
them up unless through or the decision of the allies
From this is looks though Sweden will have to fight if
she gets possession of the islands, for with Swedens
strong proGerman sympathes, it is not likely she will
be given anything after the war; as reward for her
fathlessness to the democracy of the world Finland
the other hand is showing her sympathes are with the
allies and is trying to play fair She can snap her fingers

her tame submission to German ruthessness that there
