STOCK EXCHANGE
RAISES ITS DUES
Annual Assessment Increased
From $3.50 to Not More
Than $500.

An amendment to the constitution Of
tho New York Stock Exchange was
adopted by the board Of governors at
their meeting yesterday afternoon by
which the annual dues paid by membe}s
OF the exchange were raised from $3.50
to not more than $500. The action was
taken because Of the huge increases IN
expenses which have been piling I'D in
the past few years, as result of which
the exchange has been doing business
for several years with deficit recorded
at the end of each year.
The original dues as fixed by the con-
sitution of the exchange were 500 a
year. payable In semi-annual instruments
Of $50 each. In August OF last year the
costs had risen to such an extent chat
II was deemed advisable to raise the
dues. and at that time $3.50 a year was
fixed as the amount which every men,
Der should pay. This apparently did not
relieve the situation materially. however.
and yesterday another raise was au-
thorized. This time no specified amour.
was fixed. but the article in the consti-
tuition governing the payment of fees
uas changed to read as follows:
The dues payable by a member Of the
'xchange In each year exclusive OF fines
L u
VI tho constitution shall not exceed 500
year. Raid dues shall be payable In
semi Annual instruments on May ] and
November LIN each year and the amount
OF each instalment shall be determined
by the governing committee at least If
teen days before the date on which the
same IL payable"
In connection with tho forthcoming
Victory Liberty Loan the governors OF
the exchange adopted the following reso-
luton: 49,
RESOLVED. That this organization rec
ommends to. It's members not only that
they back the Victory Liberty Loan with
their dollars to the limit Of their ability
but that they give freely and unre-
servedly of their time and efforts. as
they have In the past. to make this last
loan an overwhelming success"
Regarding the tax on transactions in
rights the following statement was given
out at the Stock Exchange yesterday {:
Under the new tax law there is a stamp
tax on right to subscribe for stock and
II will go into effect on Tuesday. April
I. The only rights on the exchange at
the present time that will be affected are
Oklahoma Producing and Refining Com
pany rights to subscribe for new stock
One hundred rights as traded in on the
exchange is the privilege in this case to
subscribe for twenty shares OF new stock

Blamcs Republicans
Blame for theI present situation in
the senate was placed upon the Re-
publicans by Senator Underwood,
Democrat. of Alabama, who called
upon them to go to the country with
the "assimilated issue" and said
their would be no question of the
peoples verdict. While the Alabama
senator was speaking. Senator Swan
son, Democrat, of Virginia, was bus
liy engaged in conference upon the
moor with Senator's Lodge and Wat
son, IN an apparent eleventh hour
attempt to bring about q compro-
mise.
Senator Underwood said the
american people demand peace at
the hands of the Senate.
This side of the chamber" he
said, pointing to the Democratic
side, lis not responsible to the coun-
try Tor the action the Senate may
take. The control is in the hands
OF the Republicans. The Republican
party is responsible to the people
for the peace of the nation. What
a spectacle is presented TO the ma
tlon tonight by the way the Repub-
licans are exercising the power en-
trusted to them by the people of the
United States"
Senator Underwood said that the
Lodge resolution in the vote taken
upon it last night received only q
little more than one-third of the
membership, the vote being, he said,
reputation of the exercise of
hV fhn
cised the parliamentary license" by
which they were able to bring a ere
pudiated resolution before the SEN
ate and charged that an attempt was
being made Ito drive an unwilling
majority to accept the dictates of
a small minority.
Senator Underwood urged all sem
ators who had voted against the
Lodge resolution to "repudiate it,"
He then explained what future pro-
cedure could be had.
I'VE shall maintain that we are
entitled to offer other resolutions of
ratification" Senator Underwood de-
clared. The Vice-President already
has ruled correctly that we have that
right. But majority of the Senate
destroyed his ruling. When this
resolution >(of Senator Lodge) is
voted down again we must face the
fact whether n partisan majority,
which intends to destroy this Treaty,
can be controlled, and by indirect
measures say to the Senate You
shall ratify as we present it or not
at ALL
That is the ISSUE" Senator I'm
derwood added. II am prepared to
meet it and the American people
will know who is to ratify this
Treaty and who is to destroy it,"
PenroSc in Clash
Senator Pittman and Penator Pen
rose, Republican, PENNSYLVANIA,
clashed during q discussion of re-
sponsibility for the tie up. Senator
Pittman charged that every reserva-
ton in the Lodge resolution was die
tated by Republicans desirous of
killing the Treaty."
Every Democrat" Senator Pen
rose interjected, has voted on Or
ders from the White House."

Democrat, Colorado, declared.
You're about the only one who
can deny it," Senator Penrose re-
piled.

unless President Wilson circumvent-
ed the Senate rules by withdrawing
it and then submitting it again to the
Senate. In other quarters there was
some difference of opinion but the
general sentiment seemed to be that
there was only a slender chance that
the Treaty would come up at the
beginning of next session of Con-
gress, beginning next month.
Wartime Laws Continue
One effect of the Senate's failure
to ratify the Treaty will be the con-
tinuation of various wartime laws
and regulations at least until the
new session opens. Among these is
the wartime prohibition act.
The resolution presented last night
to declare a state of peace will come
up at the beginning of the new ses-
sion and is expected to start another
stubborn fight. The administration
is understood to be opposed to such
n method of legally ending the war
and in the background is n constitu-
tional question as to whether Con-
requiring the Presidents signature.
May Feel Out Powers
1t was suggested among Demo-
cratic senators that President Will
son might be asked during the re-
cess to feel out the other powers as
to their attitude on reservations
with the idea of bringing the Treaty
to some sort of ratification after
Congress reassembles.
The second vote on the majority's
ratification resolution was made pos
sible by the mild reservationists who
voted with the Democrats to get the
measure before the Senate and thus
give an opportunity for any eleventh
hour compromise proposition. Once
that had been accomplished, how
ever, the mild group held out against
all efforts of the Democrats to put
in their substitute reservations, so
that when the second vote was
reached after several hours of sparr-
ing, the situation virtually was un-
changed.
The resolution for ratification with
out reservations was put in by Sem
ator Underwood. Alabama, after the
second defeat of the other measure.
1t was held in order and voted upon
debate but when Senator
Pittman, Democrat. Nevada, sought
to get action on another resolution
interpretive reservations,
the Treaty consideration was cut
short by point of order by Repub-
lican Leader Lodge. Vice President
Marshall held that previous decis-
ions of the Senate in overriding his
rulings would operate to sustain the
position taken by Senator Lodge.

Treaty after being before the Sem
ate for many weeks then was laid

Two state courts OF North Da-
kota, where the Governor mad seized
the Ignite mtnes and ordered state

crees that apparently would lead to
restoration OF the mines to their
owners. At W.lliston one company
notified the Governor it would not

Should the apparently deadlocked
conference at Washington not reach
an agreement within u week, martial
