 That a considerable part of the trading came from the publiC was ob- vous from the increased attendance and interest of investors in the finan cial district and from the activity Of commission houses whose wires were kept busy with orders from interior points.
 Although the movement again con- centrated largely in issues controlled by pools and included many stocks of speculative character, many high class shares participated in the rise to a substantial degree. oil, ceppers, motors and two score of stocks whose products are bound to be benefited by the wars early conclusion were higher ii the course of the session by 8 to 15 points.

Oath Purposely Made strinuent.

The term "iron-clad oath" has no significance now. It was the name giv- en to very stringent oath of office prescribed by congress in 1862 and ap- piled at the close of the Civil war for officeholders in the reconstructed states. It was intended to exclude from office all who had participated in the CivN war on the Confederate side, and really he'd that effect because they could not take the oath.

FARMERS TO PAY $40 A YEAR
New Revenue Strikes Them-AutO-
mobile Tax Fixed.
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Oct 1.-THE exemp-
tion which the house put in the re-
venue bill to save farmers paying the
$40 year occupational tax was
stricken out by the senate finance
committee. At the same time, the
committee cut the automobile taxes
in half and as most of the farmers
in the United States own automobiles
the amount saved on automobile tax
es will just about offset the $40 head
tax.
The new automobile taxes to be
paid by users Of cars are: Twenty
three horsepower or less. SIS; be
tween % and 30 horsepower. $40; he
tween 80 and 40 horsepower, SIS.
over 40 horsepower, $25. Electric
automobiles will pay 50 per horse
power instead of 81 as fixed by the
house and 25 cents for each 100 lbs.
of weight instead of soc. The mo-
torcycle tax of SIS was left unchang-
ed.
The exemption of the farmers was
put in the bill by the house as a spec
ial favor to the great agricultural
population No other industry was
given an exemption and the senators
on the finance committee decided
almost unanimously that the farmers
should be asked to pay the tax aions
with every other proprietor Of a
business. trade or profession whose
gross receipts are $4,000 a year.
