statements about things and inten-
tionally deceive people into sustain
ing conditions that are not the best.
Taxes are going to be tremendously
higher now than they have been, and
people who are not we'll informed are
going to busy themselves telling
others why the taxes are higher,
when in fact they do not themselves
know very much about it. People
are going to busy themselves spread
ing guess-work on subjects affecting
the public welfare, and thereby do
much injury by guessing badly The
wave of bolshevism that is spread
ing over the world, finds these people
ready and willing to SOW the seeds
Of discomfort and thereby get us to
fighting among ourselves when we
ought to be presenting a solid front
in favor of what is best for us.
These are days when we need,
more than usual, men who are true
and level-headed; men who can, be
trusted to be fair and sensible; men
who know human nature and who
have faith in men and yet at the

their weak points. If such men had
control of the press it would not
solve the troubles; something more
than that is needed. 1t is as great
task to hunt out the truth and write
it, as it is to print it and get it to
the people, and that is indeed man S
Job.
Now, to get back to what | said in
che beginning, men have often asked
IT there was not some newspaper
man or writer in the state who could
go over the state institutions in all
the departments and just write and
publish things as he finds them that
would enable the people to grasp the
main things and to correct the great
est evils. There are such men, but
they have living to make, and a
man cannot make living taking off
the lid and criticising the work of
those in high places 1t is worse
than that. 1t is a good way for
man to go broke even if he possesses
wealth to start with, and now you
know why The Boise Statesman and
The Capital News and The Lewiston
Tribune and the Pocatello Tribune
and The Idaho Register and all the
other powerful press of the state
have closed their eyes to these great
tasks and taken the lines of least
resistance. 1t pays.

Industrial Stocks
Inactive; Banking
Position Improved
Ratio of Federal Reserve
Banks Reserve Against
Note and Deposit Liabili-
ties Now 43.7 Per Cent

IT was plain from the action Of the
stock market In the two hours of trad
ing yesterday that tho speculative
element was still suffering from the
after-effects Of the wide open break Of
the middle OF the week. Industrial
stocks were distinctly not In favor.
Prices In this department yielded as q
rule, but the offerings were not heavy.
indicating that there was no great
pressure to sell. In fact, the indus
trials seemed TO be suffering more from
neglect than from liquidation.
Action of the general list indicated
that some time Is likely to elapse be-
fore confidence on tine part of the pub
lie In the stability Of industrial mar
ket values can be restored. The smash
ing the market received on Wednes-
day forced 8 large part of the pub
lie out voluntarily, and the rest is likely
to get out on the slightest proyoca-
tion. Buying of industrial stocks, re-
gardless of assets values, will be much
more cautious for while, particularly
so long as 1t is the intention of the
banking authorities to keep the renewal
rate on call loans at q high figure.
The weekly statements of the Federal
Reserve Bank and the New York Clear
ing House associated banks told the
story of the weeks happening in the
money market in rather interesting and
enlightening manner. The Reserve
Bank reported decrease Of nearly
$75, 100000 in member bank borrowings
against government war paper and
falling off in borrowing against other
forms of paper of about $11 100000. In
other words, the banks, In accordance
with the wishes Of the Federal Reserve
Board as indicated in the weeks news,
reduced their borrowings at the local
institution approximately $4,000, 900.
At the close of business Friday the
percentage Of reserve of the local Re-
serve Bank against deposit end note
liabilities was 43.7, compared with 4O.2
the week before. The legal percent
age requirement Is 40. and had the
figure been allowed to fall below
that level it would have been necessary
for the local bank to have borrowed
from the other reserv, institutions by
rediscoun.ng its paper.
By fo.cing the member banks In this
district to liquidate portion Of their
borrowings the Federal Reserve Bank
was able. however, to strengthen its
position by nearly a per cent. The
effect of the liquidation Of member
bank borrowing at the central instltu-
tion on the Clearing House institu-
tions was to bring about reduction
in loans and drop in surplus reserves,
The lays stock market was rather
q sluggish affair and the dullness was
accentuated by the absence Of many
brokers' from the Street who had gone
to the days football games. Aside
from The heaviness of the tndustrials.
the outstanding development was the
continued frmness of the rails.

About Margins

Apropos Of the various discussions
in Wall Street concerning what shall
be fair margin on stocks In view Of
the precipitate decline Of the past week
recalls what the Hughes Commission
said about this subject in 1909. "The
amount ot margin which broker re-
quires from speculative buyer of
stocks depends, in each case. on the
credit Of the buyer; and the amount
Of credi. which ono person may ex-
tend is g dangerous subject on which
to legislate. Upon the other hand,
rule made by the Stock Exchange could
safely deal with the prevalent rate of
margins required from customers. In
preference, therefore, to recommending
legislation. we urge upon all brokers
to discourage speculation upon small
margins and upon the exchange to use
its influence, and, II necessary, it's
power, to prevent members from
soliciting and generally accepting bust
ness on a less margin than 90 per
cent

Mes6potamia Oil Company May
Construct 4OO.Mile Pipe Line

Reports from the American Consul
ate General at London state that the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company proposes to
construct pipe line some $50 to 400
miles In length and costing approxi-
mately S4s s,665, 900, in order to provide
an outlet for its products on the Medi-
terranean. The initial cost is admitted
" heavy, but officials of the company
believe that the saving in freight on
OIL FOR Europe will more than compen-
safe for the outlay.
No decision as to the route Of the
pipe line has been reached as vet. but
1t is thought that it will either be
along the line Of the Bagdad Railway
or follow direct line across country.
In the event the direct route 4is select
ed an all-British railroad crossing Me-
ssopotamia from side to side is a possi-
bility.

Cerro de Paseo Holds Strong

One Of the few stocks to show a net
advance as the result of last weeks
upheaval on this Stock Exchange was
Ccrro do Pasco. This may be ex-
planned bythe knowledge that strong
speculative group is still working on
the bull side of this issue, basing its
belief In ultimate higher values on the
fact that the company is now devoting
itself more to the production OF silver
than to copper. The ratio is placed at
three-nfths Of the white metal to two
ffths copper. Wall Streets leading
gpeculator is reported to have bought
heavily OF the stock during the weeks
decline, which. however, was compdta
lively slight when other net breaks are
considered. The high and closing price
Of the week was 50, while the low was

THREE NURSES
ARE GRADUATED
Delightful Program is Given
at City Hospital Com
mencement

Graduation exercises held in the
high school last night in honor of the
three nurses who have successfully
completed their training in the Perth
Amboy City Hospital were run off in
an excellent manner, all the officials
of the hospital, the staff doctors and
graduate nurses cooperating to make
the affair a complete success.
rhe flag bearers followed by those of
the high school cadets who had been
appointed as ushers coupled by the
high school sponsors marched up the
aisle and stood at attention in front
of the stage; they were followed by
the City Hospital graduates and then
by the graduated nurses and others
who sat on the stage. The cadets in
full dress uniform and the sponsors in
white with red ties made a pretty
picture under the floral and green
decorations of the stage. The stage
was decorated in the class colors, yell
low and white with '19 well in evil
dence.
After the Star Spangled Banner was
sung the cadets and sponsors marched

the evening was Miss May C. Korb.
She sang caro- Nome" from Rigoletto

Jacob NJ. Klein, lawyer, offices in

new ferry would be most beneficial to
the city. High street should be paved

ADOPTED
ON NEW SCHOOL
Specifications of j. Noble Pier
son & Sons Approved by
Board

Pursuant to several weeks careful
deliberation and minute examination
of all plans submitted by local archi-
tects for the proposed new school
structure TO be erected this summer,
facing Hall avenue. adjoining Alta
Vista place and Jacques street, the
Board of Education decided to award
the contract for the preparation of
drawings and specifications to j. No
BILE Pierson e. Son, school architect

press purpose of deciding definitely
what plans and ideas should be en-
ployed in their building.
The board met on numerous occa-
sions to discuss the plans and merits
of defects of each were pointed out.
1t is understood that the board will
make several alterations in the pres
ent drawings so that the building Will
conform more exactly to their own
ideas.
1t was decided that before any pa
peds were signed closing the deal the
Board of School Estimates would have

ter and that state architects would be
conferred with so as to make certain

rated in the building. A meeting with
the firm of Pierson & Son will be call
ed in the near future before final
plans are prepared.

three story fire proof structure with
a frontage of $50 feet on Hall avenue
and 124 feet deep. to be constructed
with brick and gray terra Gotta, the
walls to be of reinforced conctere and
hollow tile. The building will con-
tain 100000 cubic feet and it will be
necessary to excavate 0,OO0 cubic
yards before operations can be
started.
The first part of the building will
contain seven miscellaneous rooms,
eight teachers and thirty-thre class
rooms, and subsequent additions pro-
vide for a grand total of eight miscel-
laneous, twelve teachers and sixty
class rooms. A gymnasium, in the
center of the building can be used for
athletic purposes and mass meetings.
j. Noble Pierson & Son will receive
five per cent of the entire cost of the
building as their compensation and
will pay 5000 each to the unsuccess-
full architects who sent in plans Ar
chitectural services, including all pre-
liminary drawings, detail work and
specifications will be given. Experts
in heating, ventilation. electrical and
construction work will be consulted
during the course OF the building S

supervised personally by member
of the firm and a competent Inspector
will be on the grounds during the
building processes.
