Chicago Banker Predicts
Prosperous Years for
u. S., Holland Says.

John H. Arnold, of Chicgo, who
is q member Of the commission COM
posed of bankers of New York and
Chicago, which is speedily to de-
part for Europe TO make investigs-
tions into financial and industrial
conditions there. apparently does
not fully share the view of Charles
NJ Schwab, respecting restoration
of industrial life in Europe and bus
iness depression in the United
States. Mr.. Schwab. according to
prevailing opinions here. may not
have been correctly reported. or he
may have said something eNplana'
tory or modifying which should
have been included N the state
ment which came from him a day
or two ago based upon observations
he has made since his arrival IN
Europe.
Mr.. Schwab is quoted as having
said that there is to be a consider
able period of business depression
in the United States and, further
more. that no heavy demand for
American materials viii come from
the devastated parts Of France and
Belgium because the despoiled build
inEs there will be replaced by stone
and brick, OF which. there is a plen-
tiful supply.
Confident of Future.
Mr.. Arnold, who it is presumed will
be the chairman Of this commission
Of bankers, speaks confidently OF The
Importance OF the results which viii
be likely to follow the visit OF the
commission. Among other things are
10 be the furnishing OF aid for the re-
construction Of public utilities. prin.
cipally in Belgium and France, pos
sibly elsewhere. Public utilities dc
not depend, excepting in a minor de.
gree. upon stone or brick for theil
perfected construction There will b.
need Of copper. probably Of manufac,
tured wood. very likely OF electric
apparatus. and many things which
presumably must be bought in the
United States. otherwise il would nOt
be deemed worth while to send q
commission OF American bankers tC
LuIOpe "HOst AipoS' IL IL 10 stLue
existing conditions 50 that with
American money desolation may b'
ended and repairs and reconstruction
be carried on.
Mr.. Arnold goes 50 far as to say
that at first nothing but municipa
bonds which represent public utili'
ties will be bought in the name Of
the United States by these Ameri
can bankers or else the preIiminarN
financing necessary to establish thes'
bonds will be carried on by thes'
bankers.

was established at the time the
Chamber of Commerce was organ
lied. Owing to the tremendous
amount of war work on hand these
bureaus have not been convened
and have not been active as was
intended when the bureau form CT
government was proposed. 1t is
now proposed to make these bu-
reauS dynamic instead of potential
factors for community development
and members will find themselves
convened for organization purposes
in the very near future.
THE work of the board of direC-
tors will, during the early stages,
be conferred in four definite things.
First. a hotel; second, g compile

Given High Tribute.

Affairs of the Rock Island club
and the Rock Island Chamber of
Commerce will hereafter be con-
tIolled by a single board of direc-
tors. This was decided at the an
rual membership meeting OF the
two organizations at the Rock Is
land club last night.
Directors, who were elected yes
terday, are:

No action was taken by the mem
bers with regard to the changing
of the name as first proposed. 1t
was brought out that the merging
of the two bodies in such a way
would require more than action by
the members because of the Rock
Island club being a corporation
v lille the Chamber of Commerce is
not.
Congressman w. J. Graham. who
spoke at the meeting. is TO he given
a resolution of thanks by the two
organizations for the way in which
he assisted and always proved will
ing to help committees from the
two bodies that have gone to him
for assistance on matters pertain
ing to Rock Island arsenal. The
motion to extend the appreciation
was made by NJ. II. Sexton.

not those elected to Office would be
interested in giving the committee
its cooperation in the putting
through of the scheme. The sum
c: So, 200 for the cost of creating
the city plan was inserted in the
Patriots fund budget and stands to
the credit of the city planning COM
nittee in the Central Trust & Saw
ings bank.
Entertainment for Drafted Men.
"a dinner for four hundred draft
ed men was given at the Augustana
gymnasium. This dinner involved an
expense of about $500 which was
raised entirely by public subscrIp-
ton through the initiative of the
committee.
Increased Taxation.
Your committee. believing that
the affairs of the city could not be
handled efficiently on its restricted
income, due to the elimination OF
saloon revenue, took a stand for In
creased taxation. 1t endorsed the
move of the commissioner for IN
creased taxes and worked in behalf
of the proposal. The proposal was
defeated
Conventions.
your committee entertained
four conventions during the year,
and through the convention fund
which the committee had inserted
in the Patriots fund budget, the ex
penses involved in the entertain
p:ent extended to convention dele
gates were betrayed. The four con-
ventions entertained are as follows:
Knights of Columbus convention,
Burlington Way convention, County
Clerks and Records convention and
the National Stewards association.
Arsenal Cl8b.
Through the initiative OF this
committee and the cooperation OF
the city commissioners an Arsenal
club was organized and the armory
was remOdeled and turned over to
them for club house. At the close
of the war the club was turned into
a Community club house and is open
to all Rock Island industrial work
ers-
Patriots Fund.
This committee initiated into be-
ing the plan of uniting in a one
campaign embracing the needs of
our local and war charities for the
year March l, 1918, to March l..
1919. A fund OF STA 900 was pIedg-
ed and proved TO be ample. 1t has
paid out practically one hundred
per cent on all of the funds set forth
in the budget.
