PAYMENT OF WAR
BILLS Is HELD UP

Vainly Waiting
MILLIONS INVOLVED
House Objects to Mineral
Clause-Sends Bill to
Conference
MILLIONS INVOLVED
By a Stuf Correspondent

Washington. Feb. 15.-The payment
of sums aggregating several million dol
lars to many persons and corporations
who supplied the war needs OF the
United States before the signing Of the
-armistice upon informal agreements,
and in the absence of formally executed
contracts, has been put off little longer
through the action of the House OF Hep
resentatives yesterday In rejecting the
conference report.
The House was willing 20 agree to
all of the bill except that part inserted
by the Senate, Section s, providing the
Secretary of the Interior be authorized
to make payments to persons and cor
porations who supplied, or made prep
arations to supply, ores and minerals
to the government. The House was op-
posed to making these payments to con-
Germs which made preparations to supply
the government, but never did because
OF the abrupt ending OF hostilities, and
sent the bill back to conference with
instructions to strike that provision out,
by a\vote of 216 to 1T.
Millions Involved
The payment Of several millions OF
dollars to hundreds OF persons, firms or
companies that did work for the govern
ment during the war awaits the passage
OF this bill. Thousands OF Agreements
were made by them with the Federal
departments during the war that are
really valid contracts except that instead
Of being signed by the chief of the
procurement division OF the Ordnance
Department, they were signed by one
OF his assistants. The Controller of the
Treasury ruled recently that payments
could not be made under these agree
ments.
The bill now before Congress author
ICES the Secretary of War to make ad-
justments with persons or corporations
who furnished supplies to the govern
ment upon order of any Federal officer.
Mine OwnerS Predicament
Many mine operators, II is said, ac-
cepting assurance of the government,
increased their capital stock and spent
considerable sums to increase their de-
velopment and production. When the
war ended the government had no need
for the ores and they are unable to OBJ
tain any money from the government to
make up for the large amounts they
spent.

WHY AN INCREASE.

OWING to increased cost of production, the Capital
~ journal, to remain upon a business basis, is forced
to raise subscription rates, effective Nov. /, to so cents a
month by carrier and to $4 a year by mail--which will
Just about pay for the paper used and the cost of distri-
button. Even at the increased rates, the Capital Journal
will be sold at the lowest established rates of any news
paper on the coast.
Newspaper publishers are manufacturers, subject to
the rules and rigors of economic laws. They work under
a disadvantage, as compared to other manufacturers, as
they buy their raw materials and labor in closed and non
competitive markets, while selling their product in com
petitive markets.
Newspapers cannot prosper and maintain rates that
spell loss. Circulation rates must, in the last analysis, be
sufficient to pay expenses of white paper and distribu-
ton. Advertising rates must be sufficient to pay other
operating costs.
Proper rates are those that assure a strong vigorous
growing concern, returning a profit to the public, labor
employed and capital rsked. Such rates insure a news
paper creditable to the community it is published in, and
profitable alike to subscribers and advertisers.
Many improvements are being made to make the
Capital journal a better newspaper and prepare for ex-
pansion and growth. A new $4,000 four-magazine limo
type, the latest word in typecastng machinery, has been
ordered, new series Of advertising type are enroute from
factory, old equipment is being replaced with new and as
soon as possible a modern pe~rfecting stereotype press
with a capacity OF 10000 papers an hour, will be added
to properly care for increased circulation. Carrier SER
vice is being reorganized to insure earlier delivery, news
service being extended and every effort put forth to make
a paper worth whie--and to this end the continued CO.
operation OF the community is asked.
