GLASS MAKES REQUEST s.~,
FOR WIDE AUTHORITY
Secretary of Treasury Asks Congress
to Increase Amount of Authorized
But Unissued Liberty Bonds to
Ten Billion Dollars With Inter-
est Rate to Be Fixed, as
Plans Are Developed.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Secretary
Glass today asked Congress to in
crease the amount of Liberty bonds
authorized but unissued to approxi-
mately s1O,OOo,oOo,oOO. and to give
him broad powers to determine the
interest rate and other terms of the
Victory Liberty loan to be fioated
late in April. He also sought per-
mission to issue not more than $1O,-
OO0,OOO,0OO of treasury notes matur-
ing within five years, and asked that
the war finance corporation be au-
thorized for one year after the de-
claration Of peace to- make CONNER
cial loans on exports, to facilitate
foreign trade.
In a letter to Chairman 7Kitchin of
the house ways and means commit
tee, Secretary Glass outlined the
broad policy which the treasury
hopes to follow in dealing with war
loans and other national financial
subjects of the readjustment period.
The secretary submitted draft of
a bill which would carry out the
treasurer's recommendations. Speci'
cally, this bill would accomplish the
following results: - *
Raising from s5,Oo0,OO0,ooO to
SO, 0,000, 100000 the authorization
for the Victory Liberty loan and per-
NIT the treasury to determine what
part Of this sum should be sold.
Permit the secretary of the treas
ury to determine interest rates on
bonds maturing within ten years, on
the next Liberty loan instead of lin
iting the rate to 4 IA per cent. as
provided in the present law. ~
Permit the issue Of not more than
$1O,00O,O 100000 of interest bearing,
non-circulating notes having maturi-
ties from one to five years; these
might be sold along with bonds of
the Victory Liberty loan. H..
Authorize the issue of bonds and
notes payable at premium.
Exempt war savings certificates
from income surtaxes.

"I am sanguine enough to believe
that it is within the range of the
possible that so much may have been

loan on terms which today would
seem quite impossible.
The proposed extension OF powers
of the war finance corporation would
allow the corporation for one year
after the declaration of peace to
make advances to business firms OF
exporters in the United States up to
the market value of the goods ex.
ported, or to banks which had made
advances to these interests. The
loans would run for not more than
five years and the aggregate would
be limited to $1,000, 100000. By this
means the treasury hopes to stimu.

vented because of the inability Of
foreign purchasers to pay cash. The
advances made to a, bank would be
limited to the unpaid balance Of
loans previously made to the business

On Tax Exemptions.

Confer on the secretary Of the
treasury authority to determine the
tax exemption in respect to future
issues Of bonds and notes, and to
enlarge tax exemptions Of existing
Liberty bonds in the hands Of sub
scribers for new bonds and notes. !
Reopen the privilege Of converting
per cent Liberty bonds into four
quarters; this privilege expired last
November 9.
Create 2 1-2 per cent cumulative
sinking fund for retirement Of the
war debt. ~ ...
Extend the authority of the war
finance corporation to permit it to
make loans IN aid of American COM
nerce, supplementing the aid given
by the treasury on direct loans to al
! lied governments and in "a measure
relieving the treasury of demands Of
such loans.
Permit the continuation Of loans
to allies after the war. y.
Exemtp from income surtaxes and
profits taxes all issues Of Liberty
bonds and bonds Of the war finance
corporation held abroad. :;
AS the reason for asking such wide
authority to determine terms of the
victory loan, Secretary Glass ex-
planned in his letter to Mr.. Kitchin
that he could not determine this far
in advance, particularly because the
country was in state of commercial
and industrial readjustment, what
the terms should be in April. Fur
thermore, it is necessary for congress
to act before adjournment March 4.
"The Victory Liberty Loan could
not be issued successfully, now that
hostiliies have ceased within the linn
itations imposed by existing laws" ,"
said Mr.. Glass.
He also declared that restoration
Of normal financial conditions in the
United States would be facilitated by
enactment Of pending legislation per-
mitting legislation Of claims arising
under informal war contracts and
enabling the food administration ito
protect the guarantees given by the
United States"

ASH FORK !
 WILLIAMS 5

The base ball season at Will Hams was ushered in on Sun day last, the Williams team en- tertaining the team from Ash Fork. While the result from an artistic standpoint was not all that could be desired. still 9 fairly good game of ball was enjoyed by about three hum dred fans, with Ash Fork on the long end of the to 5 score. The Williams boys had the visiting team played off their feet for five innings, but could not hold their lead. With tho necessary practice the boys will have this week. they should be able to more than hold their own with any of the teams in Northern Arizona. Consider ing the fact that the boys had practically no practice before last Sundays game. and that it was the first time all the boys had played together, no excus- es need be offered for their failure to win. The team will be strengthened in several par ticulars at once. and the bows are confident the people of Will Hams will not be ashamed of the results attained. The score follows:

JUDGE BUTTON COM
 PLET|NG RESIDENCE

J. s, Button is completing his residence and office build ing on his lots facing third | street, between Bill Williams and Grant Ave. Work on the building is being pushed as rapidly as possible, but it will take about two months to com plete the building.
 The building as complete will be two stories high with eight rooms above and seven large rooms below. Six of the rooms above are planned to be rented in suites of two. Bath and toilet will be provided on both floors, and each room will be steam heated, as we'll as electric lighted.
 On the first floor, one half of the building will be devoted to MT. Buttons business, and the other will be equipped for his residence. At the front, on the right hand side, will be his office and this will be connected with portiers to a larger room just back of it. The two when thrown together will give a chapel 16x4O feet for use in conducting funerals when de sired. Back of this is another room which will be the Judges work room.
 In the opposite side of the building will be a large parlor or. sitting room connected with portiers with a large dining room. Back of this will be a large kitchen, pantry, bath room and bed chamber. This section of the bti,ding will be .'c. spied by MT. and Mrs. But tn2.
 At the rear end of the build, ir,g a two story porch tenfeet wide will be erected across the entire structure. Back from the residence and entirely sep. arate from it will be a morgue for use in the judges undertak-- ing business.
 The building when completed will be a valued improvement to the business section of town, while providing MT. and Mrs Button with a comfortable res idence. The judge is now sev- enty four years old, hale and hardy and hopes to round out an even hundred in order to get a good measure of enjoyment from his new building. When the last nail is driven and the last bit of mortar Is laid, the judge will have attained the object that has been his chief ambition for the last sever years.

WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING


 ans club for this year was held ;r the school auditorium. on Tuesday aftc' noon.
 The three Russian stories were reviewed, in an entertain ing way by Mesdames Root, W lckens and Curetol, The 1lusic was { that hie'l order that might be expected from any program of which Miss big ger has charge.
 The officers for the coming year were seated and the pres .ident, Mrs. Ray Wickens called a meeting for June 24, to be held at the Parish House. At this time the program for the coming year will be discussed, and other business will be transacted. A short address of Mrs. T. H. Cureton follows:
 "We are just passing out. of one period into another. From war time into reconstruction. Two years ago there were few pessimists all over the country that prophesied that women's clubs would lose in- terest and grow weaker, but they have grown stronger, not because they have done more club work. In fact clubs were almost forgotten, and meetings were irregular. What hap pened? Club women became patriots. They answered their country's call. Club women were in demand. When cali came for trained leaders, Club women responded. Why? Be cause they had been trained in team work, trained in for bearance, trained in executive power-and where? In the training school of the women's clubs.
 We have learned that we can accomplish most, when we un- ite into a club, and act in har- mony. Success of anything de- bends upon the success of the parts.
 Just now the old officers are about to retire, and the new officers to take their places. We would be lacking in ap- preciation if we did not take this opportunity to express our thanks for the services of these officers during this most trying period.
 Our President, in the face of many difficulties, has steered ahead. She has kept the club together and kept it active.
 Let us, one and all unite tc support these incoming of. ficers. Let us pledge our best efforts to all that this organiza- tion stands for.' (signed)

"I3". GRADUATES
 FROM WINS. SCHOOL

Although the residents of Williams expected to see Q high grade of efficiency at any exhibition of the work of the pupils of our public school they were scarcely prepared to see the excellent display at the closing exercises, held on Thursday. Special mention should be made of all grades as their work was most com mendable, but to specialize would require more space than is allowed. The work of the primary grades, both American and Mexican, was a surprise. and goes to show that educa- ton, through play, is superior to the old standard. The cut out work, chicken yards, birds in cages, and rabbits feeding, could not fail to interest child ren, and to give them an int mate knowledge of animal life
 In the fifth grade, the dis play of water colors showed splendid conception of the blending of colors, in way to produce the best effects.
 The exercises in the evening consisted of singing by the higher grades of the pupils. In the boys chorus, the good training they receive, was very noticeable The girls chorus. which was :nearly twice as large as the boys, sang with such splendid. form, that they received a generous encore testifying to the pleasure of the immense crowd gathered in the large auditorium, which was not nearly large enough to accommodate those who would have been glad to ac- cept s. R. O., but were per force obliged to remain in the Hobbies and ante-rooms.
 MT. Ed. Hamilton, school trustee, presented the diplomas to the graduating class of the eighth grade.
 The members of the class Margaret Dufield. Ralph Elm merson, Helen Easton, Doris Lonergan, Regina Rousseau, Julia Scott, Loren Seoville, Demetrio Smith, Robert Stev- ems, Ronald Selmon. Oscar Tyl- CT, Bernice Wade, Charles Carpenter.
 The audience was requested to visit the different rooms ana view the work on exhibition.
 In. the manual training room high grade furniture made by the pupils. red work consisting of trays and baskets, and many articles of clothing, caused grown-ups to envy the pFivileg- es that the pupils of today en- joy.
 The parents of the school children are pleased to know that Prof. .Cureton, Mrs. H. Mehl, Misses Watson, Peet and Kent will be found in their ac-< customed places when school opens for the fall term, and deeply regret that a number of the former teaching staff have succumbed to the charms, or inducements offered in other cities.

The splendid favorite of Isaac Walton looked like younr Catalina Island tuna. Doc had a good samaritan friend alnr~ with him, or the bass never would have been landed, and it would have been lone of the largest ever hooked. that es- capped. This friend, thinking the tackle was fast in a rock undressed and swan out to release the snag. then 1t was discovered that it was not fas- tened to a rock, but to a sure. enough whale. After all, the bass weighed onlyfive pounds, but it was some fish for a cap- ture in the vicinity of Williams The Doctor is naturally all puffed up over his record fish. and he is quite the envy, not only for the small boy, but of his many friends who are ex- j tendingi congratulations.
