Bullcd Market with Six Millions
The most colossal fortune of all
history was made in oil If the Indian
owners OF oil lands in Oklahoma
should cancel their leases. or buy
them up. they might very easily form
a great corporation, as has the Texas
rival of the Standard Oil company.
With millions of capital they would
soon possess, they might invade the
financial centers of the East and re-
peat much more successfully. than
was attempted in 1894 the reconquest
Of country once wholly theirs!
It is a carefully guarded secret
that the great bull movement in Wall
Street in 1894 was due to the use of
the eight million dollars awarded by
the government to the Cherokees in
bonds and cash for what was known
as the Cherokee Strip" A commit
tee of the Indians came to New York
and sold six million dollars Of the
bonds-chiefly to the Astor estate
and with that cash clever stock brok-
ers played havoc in the market for a
while. When the source Of the capt.
tai was discovered-and be it remem-
bered that. small as that sum OF
money sounds today, six million dol
lars represented quite a bankroll in
1S94-some Of the professional jokers

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
GIVES COsT or TIE WAR

The Treasury Department has pre-.
sented to Congress figures which
show the gross and net costs o. our
participation through one year and
seven months In the World War.
Our entire expenditures during
that period for war purposes amount
ed to s30.i77.OOO.OO0.
This total included loans to our al
lies, aggrcgating 100000, 900; in
vestmcnts in ship building, from
which the Secretary Of the Treasury
expects TO get back over one billion
dollars, and advances to the War FL
nance Corporation, to the railroads,
and for farm loan bonds. aggregating
two billion udollslS Thus the net
cost Of the sar Il money to the Unit
ed States was about $4,000, 900 900.
In his report to Congress, Secretary
Glass EXPRESSES the belief that the
new obligations Of our Government
can be taken care Of provided the
present scale Of taxation is not i'm
portantly disturbed.
OF the total war expenditures 20
per cent was betrayed from taxes
very much greater proportion Of
taxes than any other country partici-
pating in the war has shown. The
public debt of the United States in
April, 1917, was 81 2s2 100000. To
day it is s25, ass, goo, 600 Secretary
Glass advises against further isucs Of
Government bonds until the Victory
notes mature or are redeemed. His
belief is that such an interval be-
tween offerings from our Govern
ment will result in marked improve
ment in the market prices of the ex-
isting issues. and that the Govern
ment will, in a few years from now,
be able to borrow money at very
much lower rate Of interest.
