In financial circles. The issue is ex-

probably will be a short term lssuey

Bonds of the second, third and

the view of C. NJ. Rice of the First
National Bank. Mr.. Rice says II
would be possible for holders of first
liberty bonds, who have not already
converted them, to change those bonds
for fifth loan bonds and thus get n
higher interest rate.
In this community most OF the first
loan bonds have already been con-
verted into bonds of later issue bear
ing four and fourth per cent inter-
est. However. the nation over there
are many first bonds not yet convert

Should the fifth loan be for five
billions. us indicated, the Umatilla
county quota would be slightly lower
than for the fourth loan. 1t is con-
tended by Mr.. Rice that tho county's
quota in the fourth loan was too high
and that an effort should be made to
secure just county quota in the fifth
loan.

MAYOR SCORES
TAX DODGERS
Thompson Claims Rivals Are
Silent on the Question of
City's Deficit.
BY MAYOR THOMPSON.

In discussing the shortage of cor.
porate funds brought about by re.
duced revenues. my three democratic
opponents remain discreetly silent on
the principal cause of the deficit in
city revenues.
The corporate revenue OF Chicago
springs from two sources, one of which
is included in the city's share of the
annual tax levy on real and personal
property. Out Of each dollar paid by
Chicago citizens for all taxes except
federal taxes the city of Chicago gets
only TN cents, about one.sixth of
the, money to do approximately two.
thirds of the work.
Even this small share would be
enough to meet our requirements II
our wealthy citizens would schedule
their holdings. but the fact is that
many millionaires, powerful corpora.
tons and influential interests. shield
ed by certain corrupt newspapers,
hypocritical leagues, sham reformers
| and political henchmen, conceal hun.
dreds of millions OF dollars Of taxable
property, by reason whereof an un.
equal burden Of taxation has been i'm.
posed upon our citizens Of moderate
means.
Through these evasions the city and
