.EMPL DYES RETIREMENT
BILL is REPORTED

From the committee on civil service
and retrenchment Of the Senate. Sena-
tor Mcclellan has reported favorably
and without amendment the bill for
the retirement of employees in the
classified civil service Of the govern
ment, which was draft ID after consul
tation with representatives of the gov
eminent and of the various osganiza-
tons of civil service employees.
Senator Mcclellan will do all in his
power, now that the bill is on the
Senate calendar with a favorable re-
port, to have early action taken on it.
He regards the measure as of great
importance to the government as well
as to the employe in the civil service,
particularly, at this time when
efficiency of all the departments is of
the utmost need. Under the proposed
law. it will be possible to allow many
superannuated employees to retire on
pension and to fill their places with
younger and more efficient men and
women.
The Mcclellan bill has been worked
out on a contributory basis. whereby
the employees have a certain percent
age deducted from their salaries to
help create the pension fund. and the
government also contributes share.

By I "A. F1.EMma.

A group Of bankers of New York city
is now engaged in organizing corpora
ton, for the purpose Of assisting in
financing public utilities and essential
industrial enterprises. Some Of the in
,terested parties were named some
months ago by Gov. Harding Of the
Federal Reserve Board to suggest such
plan and they proposed 500, 1000, 900

$300, zoo, 900. but which did not mate

Electric Manufacturing Company and
the United Gas Improvement Company
are to be represented on the directory
Of the Essential Industries Finance Cor
poration, to be launched in the near fu-
ture.
The corporation will have a capital
Of $4,000. 900, made ou up OF $1.soo.oo9
100000 paid-in capital.
The corporation will borrow from
the War Finance Corporation, re-
hypothecating notes and other secure
ties received by it for cash advances
made TO essential 1uQuSlTlSS dhO Pao
lie utilities.
Steadily increasing capital is pro
yided for, with an ultimate capltali-
zation of $50, 100000. which would en-
able the corporation to borrow $5O,-

This organization may prove itself
useful for the utilities of the coun-

need assistance in the not distant
future and the War Finance CORPORA

The plea of Eugene McTravis, con-
troller of the state Of New York,
against the taxation of state and mu-

standpoint of the public as represent

the viewpoint of the investor. IF
Congress decides to tax future issues
the public will require a higher rate
for it's money; that is. the public Will
be required to pay more for the money

EQUIPMENTS FIRM, !
STREET FAIRLY STEADY

NEW YORK. September 24.-The
banking fraternity let it be known
yesterday afternoon that the need for
keeping close tab on loans was still
in force and that, while there would
be no free offering Of cash. there
would be no Limitation of the supply
to the extent that might cause liqui-
dalton and uneasiness.
This would seem to indicate that
the creeping advance so evident in the
list for some days might be continued
so long as the market is devoid Of
speculation. but that brakes would be
put on in hurry on any attempt to
broaden trading.
The character of the war news con-
tinues to impart confidence. Indeed,
the trading element can figure it out
to their own satisfaction that the war
is as good as over, but the check on
speculation prevents their playing
the market that way.
