The Japanese Loan to China

Ihe Japanese Loan to China
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In two letters from Picking your
correspondent has referred TO the des-
perate financial situation of the Chinese
government in facing its bills for the
last New Year He states truly that
all the employees, clerks, soldiers, police
teachers had been without pay for
many months. and that the government
was looking for loan, with bankruptcy
on the threshold He also says that
China was forced to turn to the pawn
broker Japan" and pay a high price
for relief.
IS there no fairness among the CORE
spondents in Peking? The reason for
Chlna's anxiety and the conditions OF
the loan We're all published in 1.-THE North
China Herald" and "The Standard as
we'll as in ali the japanese newspapers.
The fact that the fonr powers with
drew from the consortium in late 1919 Is
known to all. This left China without
the promised funds. Japan was appealed
to. to tide things over until the new con-
sort'um, which Mr. Lamont so ably
handled, had been agreed upon.
Accordingly, in February. 1920. the
Yokohama Specie Bank loaned Cmns
$S,5Oo,o00 in gold to keep the Chinese
government alive until the new con,
sortium had been agreed upon. The M
terest was s per cent. People in New
\ ork were paying 6 and per cent 81
that time.) The time was six monshA
The security was tie surplus salt tax.

Miss Pedler's heroine we found spe-
clally irritating. Rarely since Elsie
Dinsmore have we encountered any one
so filled with the consciousness of vir.

uding sweetness and at the slightest
provocation delivering brief and moral
lectures on how the characters should
mold their lives.
When news comes to her that her
late fiance's wife, who had turned up
opportunity, had been shot by a jeal-

"rHE OLD FAMILIAR FACES"

"THE OLD FAMILIAR FACES"
Through summer days she's swaddled
In velvet hat and furs;
Through winter days straw lid
And manubrum free are hers.
But season never mattered,
Nor how modistes might drape her;
She always looked Fictitious
AS poinsettias made Of paper.
,, How could we spare the actress
Who has been for years adjoining
The sepia- tinted sections
On every Sunday morning7
In summertime one sees her
Taken with Borzoi dogs;
In wintertime one sees her
Taken in Palm Beach toys.
But whatsoe'er the season
Might be in which one saw he-.
She always looked as empty
AS hotel bureau drawer.
All, how could we surrender
That figure immemoral-
The society dame of varied name
Who "faces editorial"?
In summer, 10, the magnate
There's so much force and wit to.
Looks fierce and thrusts his jaw forth;
In winter, ditto, ditto.
And ever he seems saying:
"Be by my motto guided:
Just save the pennies, bantlings,
And you'll get rich, as did"
Oh, Willie, how we'd miss you,
OF iron-and-gore the model;
And our materialistic magazines,
What would they do for twaddle?
Voice from Rear of Hall.

Funds Not Available To Pay
I Running Expenses Of City
OF Mt. Vernon
DEFICIENCY WILL
BE $4,000 THIS YEAR
Interesting Figures Are Civ
en- Out By City Auditor
Gates Today

How would you like to be the auditor
Of Mt. Vernon, a $12,0OO,00O.0O corpor
alton, that did not have sufficient
funds for operation?
This is exactly the position that CT
ty Auditor Howard G. Gates is in.
For number of years 1t has beer
a problem Of just how to conduct the
affairs of Mt. Vernon with the revenue
that was available but this year the
situation is more desperate than ever.
Last year the city council took ad.
vantage Of a new law that was Great
ed, which enabled municipalities to is
sue bonds for operation purposes.
Council authorized the issuance of
$13,00000 last year to tide the city
over on account of deficiency in its
revenue. But the emergency measure
passed for deficiencies in revenue oc-
curing this year says that bonds can
only be issued for fixed charges which
were an obligation on January 1. Since
that time council has found it neces.
sary to increase salaries of firemen,
policemen and create some other ad.
ditional expense for operation, all of
which was not anticipated before that
date.
AS an example Auditor Gates stated
that for the current year it was esti
mated tina $1,000 would care for ex.
pense in the fire department. With
the additional necessary obligations
however, s11 100000 will be necessary
Deficiencies exist in many other de.
partments and just how to secure
more revenue is the big puzzle at this
time.
City Auditor Gates estimates that
there will be total deficiency in all
departments of approximately $4,000
this year.
In 1918 the voters of Mt. Vernon au
thorized levy that would produce
about $4,000 of extra revenue, but the
budget commission reduced Mt. Yer.
mons apportionment about that
amount, SO this year the city instead
of having additional revenue will re-
ceive only the sum usually provided.
The city does not receive all the
money that is paid for taxes in Mt.
Vernon. The state, county, township,
schools bonds and interest, share in
the amount. A limit is placed upon
the amount that can be levied and the
budget commission must cut all esti.
mates in order to get the total within
the amount prescribed by law. Off
cfals state that the present situation
would be helped great deal in com.
ing years If the personal property tax
returns of Mt. Vernon were what they
should be.
It is admitted that the real estate is
returned, with but very few except
tions, at fair value, but personal re-
turns are estimated at not much bet
ter than one-half.
Before great while the city coun-
Gil will have to meet the proposition
for certain funds will be exhausted

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when q
youthful appearance is OF the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is
very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few ap-
plications, it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance Of abundance
which is 50 attractive.

BEMIDJI HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDITION.

The financial position of Bemidji as shown by its
banks deposits and is one to feel proud Of
BY compiling the statements of the various banks
both national and state, the deposits are shown to
be over two and quarter million dollars, and the
total bank resources we'll over two and a half
million.
The personal property and real estate assessed
valuation of Bemidji according to last assessment,
shows $2,017.22, and adding the valuation Of
schools, churches, public buildings, parks, etc..
which worcestershire to this, it brings it up to
about s. $50 900. If this be added to the banks
deposits of $2,23O,331 it will be seen that Bemidji
is worth very close to the five million dollar mark.
The condition shown by the National banks
statement reflects good management and healthy
growth. No doubt the State banks will soon be
called upon to present similar statement of AFFAIRS
and their condition will also be shown to be in
very healthy state of progress no doubt.
The banks of community indicate the pulse of
its financial condition and Bemidj surely is healthy
