by creating new opportunities for in- dividual enterprise. The Secretary of the Interior has pointed out the way by which returning soldiers may be helped to find and take up land in the hitherto undeveloped regions of the country which the federal govern ment has already prepared or can readily prepare for cultivation and also on many of the cut-over or neglected areas which lie within the
 limits of the older states; and I once more take the liberty of recommend ing very urgently that his plans shall receive the immediate and suibstan- tial support of the Congress.
 Peculiar and very stimulating con-
 ditions await our commerce and in-
 dustrial enterprise in the imme ediaee future Unusual opportunities will
 presently present themselves to our
 merchants and producers in foreign markets and large fields for proffta-
 bie investment will~be opened to our free capital But it is not only of
 that I am thinking; it is not chiefly of that that am thinking. Many great industries prVstrated by the war wait to be rehabilitated, in many parts of the world where what will be lack ing is not brains or willing hands or organizing capacity, but machinery and raw materials and capital.

 "A revision of the income tax has already been provided for by the act ot 1918, but think you will find that tho further changes can be made to advantage both in the rates of the tax and in the method of it's collection. The excess profits tax need not long be maintained at the rates which were necessary while the enormous ex- penses of the war had to be borne; but it should be made the basis of a permanent system which will reach undue profits without discouraging the enterprise and activity of our bus mess men. The tax on 1nheritancee ought, no doubt, to be reconsidered in its relation to the fiscal systems of the several states. but it certainly ought to remain a permanent part of the fiscal system of the federal gov- ernment also.

The members Of the committees on labor in the two Houses will hardly need suggestions from me as to what means they shall seek to make the federal government the agent of the whole nation in pointing out and. if need be, guiding the process of. rec ognition and reform.
 'I am sure that it Is not necessary for me to remind you that there is one immediate and very practical question of labor that we should meet in the most liberal spirit. We must see to it that our returning .soldj CTS are assisted in every practicable way to find places for which they are fit- ted in the daily work of the country. This can be done by developing and maintaining upon an adequate scale the admirable organization created by the department of labor for placing men seeking work; and 1t can also be lone. in at least one very great field.

They are unequal in tho incidence on different authorities A13 on different individuals. Their collec- ton is difficult and expensive. Th4f& which are levied upon articles sold at retail are largely evaded by the readjustment of retail prices. n
 On the other hand, shouldH 4r1 sume that it is expedient to maintain considerable range of indirecfs taxes, and the fact that alcoholic n<| quors will presumably no longer af1@ ford a source of revenue by taxation makes it the more necessary that; tho

PEACE WILL PUT new
VALUE ON THE DOLLAR

The greatest merchants and indus.
TRIAL chiefs in the country agree that
there will be a readjustment during
the peace period. There will be q
gradual decline in prices and a grad
nal Improvement in the buying power
Of money.
The secretary of the treasury has q
pretty. good opportunity to form an
opinion OF financial tendencies. He
says:
EVERY dollar saved now and
invested In War Savings Stamps
will be worth much more when
peace readjustment comes. Ev-
cry provldent man and woman In
the United States may find their
savings double in purchasing pow
Or In tho next few years. How
can any one more certainly make
money than by saving IL now with
assurance Of its enormous en-
haneement In value when normal
conditions are restored7"
The war took $4,000, 900 men out OF
productive civil life and turned them
into noneproductive soldiers. To sup
ply them all the governments in the
world went into the markets and be-
gan to bid for everything. Demand
increased by leaps and bounds while
supply remained stationary or was 60
ing down. Result-higher prices and
declining buying power of the dollar.

ASK T. R., JR., TO SPEAK HERE
Lieutenant Colonel May Address
Men In Legion Member Drive

Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., has been invited to speak
during the American Legion member
ship drive in this city which starts
September %.
Stringent action against draft dodg-
ers and the repression of all efforts
to renew German propaganda here were
recommended at meeting of Post No.
81, at Fortieth street and Lancaster
avenue, last night.
The post some time ago sent Il let
ter to United States District Attorney
Kane demanding that he be more
strenuous in the Bergdoll hunt, and
asking why something was not done
about the Hilsfond meeting of Ger
man Americans in the Turngemeinde
Hall on August 2S.
Mr.. Kane's reply, saying that he was
doing all he could against the draft
dodgers, but could do nothing about
the German meeting, did not suit the
members, and the resolutions passed last
night were in stronger terms.
The state convention also will be pc
titioned to appoint local grievance COM
mittees TO take up the matter of failure
of employers to re- employ discharged
men who had worked for them.

GLADYS VANDERBILT
BACK FROM HUNGARY
Countess Szechenyi, Wife of
NobIeman, Arrives for Visit.
Suffered War Privations

New York, Sept. 1s.-The Countess
Szechenyi, formerly Miss Gladys Van
derbilt, returned to her native land yes
terday on board the Pesaro, of the Ital-
ian Line, for her first visit to the United
States in five years.
''I am more than happy to be back, -
she said. "This is my country, after all,
and it is my city, too J"
She looked longngly at the Statue of
Liberty as the Italian vessel passed
slowly up the bay and toward her pier
at West Fifty seventh street. She
pointed out the New York skyline to her
four children, Cornelia, ten years old
Alice, eight; Gladys, six, and Sylvia,
ten months old.
Countess Szechenyi, according to re-
ports coming to the United States from
the beginning of the war, probably suf
fered more real hardships as the result
of her alliance with the Hungarian no E
bleman than any other of the American
women in a like position. 1t was said
that she actually was in need of food
and clothing at times despite the fact
that in America she had properties and
holdings of various kinds valued at up
ward of $4,000 900.

MORE ARRESTS NEAR
FOR LOOTING OF BANK
Filing Of Schedule of Assets May
Be Followed by New Criminal
Charges

Filing Of the long anticipated sched =
ule of assets of the North Penn Bank
and statement of its liabilities, ex-
pected tomorrow, will, it is declared,
result in ordering Of new arrests by
District Attorney Rotan.
Examination of the schedule of as
sets was made yesterday by Banking
Commissioner John s. Fisher, Deputy
Attorney General Bernard J. Myers,
Peter G. Cameron, bank examiner, and
Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey, special
deputy attorney general in charge of
the liquidation Of the North Penn
Bank.
Permission is to be sought Of Gov
ernor Sproul by depositors Of the de-
funct bank to have Colonel Pusey ad-
dress them so that full explanation
may be given Of the present condition
of the bank.
Frank X. Hardt and Samuel Fl.
Barker, who have been making the ap-
praisal of the assets of the North Penn
Bank, expect the work will be finished
in time to file the document tomorrow
Upon this action depends largely the
amount of money that will be available
to the depositors in the settlement o.
their claims. This has been estimated
at twenty six cents on the dollar, witt
possibilities of about forty cents if ar
rangements can be made to have {
strong financial institution take ovel
the ruined bank. Possibilities in thi'
direction are regarded as remote.

WINS COUNCIL RACE AT 81
Dr.. John N. Jacobs, Lansdale, II
Nominated After Hard Fight

DR.. John n. Jacobs, eighty one years
old, who as the first controller of Mont :.
gomery county. refused his five years
salary of $1G.40 to 'serve the county
without pay" proved at the polls at
Lansdale on Tuesday that he is still a
dominating power, winning in the three.
cornered race for the borough council
nomination.
"Miitant Jacobs" was in bitter
fight. He was not only nominated on
the Republican ticket, but also on the
Democratic ticket. His running mate,
Monno S. Meyer, was also nominated
on both Republican and Democratic
tickets. The defeated candidate in the
race for the councilman nomination is
Squire Charles $. Miller. All three are
Republicans and the names of all three
were written on many of the Demo-
cratic ballots, although Miller lost on
each ticket. The two party nomination
means that both Meyer and Jacobs will
be Lansdale councilmen from the east
ward,
