The result was forecast with the first
vote. Alabama swung solid to Cox. State
by State delegations which had stuck out
for McAdoo followed suit. The slide had
set in and there was no stopping it. The
convention had its mind set to nominate
on that ballot.
Up and up mounted the Ohioan's total
of votes. AS it passed the 700 mark with
the necessary two-thirds just ahead, the
tumult increased on the last votes were

THRIFT IN BUSINESS.

In 1872 No. foundry iron sold
at an average price of s4S.94 per
ton In 1918. the last normal pre-
war year. the average price was
slI-O.. In 1872 steel rails sold at
an average price of s111.94 per ton
against price Of s2S in 1913. Cut
nails were s5.46 per 100 Id. key
in 1872 and were s1.99 in 1913. Wire
nails made their appearance in COM
mercial quantities in 1887 at an
average price Of s3.15 per key and
were down to $3.50 in 1913.
Those who seek the explanation
Of this fall in prices will find it in
profits and their wise employment
1t lies in profits carried to surplus
and invested in new and improved
processes. better equipment and
modern methods of distribution. It
will be found in steam shoveIs min
'ng six to seven thousand tons Of
ore day with a small gang to
man them. in the installation Of
devices that load ten thousand-ton
ore carriers in half an hour, in
labor-saving machinery costing mil
lions and saving a fraction of a
cent per ton on the output. In this
way steel products entering into a
thousand industries and affecting
the well-being OF all the people have
been multiplied. cheapened and dis
tributed.

Standard Goods Planned
To Lower Clothing Costs

4 possible reduction in the price OF
clothing was forecast yesterday by
clothing manufacturers and retailers,
following a conference with officials OF
the Department OF Justice in charge
OF the Governments campaign against
high living costs.
The manufacturers. Il is understood.
have practically agreed upon a plan
of making a standard cloth, in about
100 different designs and dyes. which
will be placed on the market at re-
duced prices. This cloth. IL was ex-
pected. will not be manufactured to
the exclusion of others. but will be
turned out as an experiment The
rIan meets with the approval OF De-
partment oficials. who believe that
this standardized cloth will enable
manufacturers TO increase production
materially.
Representatives of the cotton grow
ers and wool producers also were
present. it being the intention Of the
Department Of Justice TO figure costs
from the producer TO the buyer, and
thereby obtain statistics which it will
use as a basis for action against pos
sible profteering.
Sidney HIllman. president OF the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, de-
clared that unless the cost Of living
drops demands for increased wages
will be made by the workers.

Auditors Ruling Saves
Night School Teachers

Nearly 100 teachers were in danger
early yesterday afternoon Of being
turned out of the night schools. with
consequent closing and denial OF in
struction to several thousand students
who attend these schools.
1t came about through a recent
order in the government departments
prohibiting government employees from
engaging in the instruction OF people
planning to take civil service exam
nations. Many OF the teachers in the
night schools are employees in the
government departmental service by
day.
While many people attending the
night schools prepare for these eX-
aminations, the schools are not run
for that purpose. but are open to any
one. District Auditor Donovan saved
the schools by ruling that the teach
ers in the night schools did not come
within the provisions Of the order.

RECONSTRUCTION.

Unfortunately for the world In its
present condition. reconstruction Is
not a state OF mind. II 1t were we
might work ourselves up to being
cheerful. serious or earnest and solve
our troubles by the application of a
little psychology. Reconstruction is
a definite. practical program in which
the various steps must be properly
co-ordinated and taken, as far as
possible, in logical sequence.
Defiation cannot be accomplished In
a ruthless, haphazard way any more
than an anttquated skyscraper can
be safely removed from the urban
landscape by blowing up the founda-
tions with dynamite. Nor is 1t likely
that defiation can be effectively
ought about in this country with
imitation prevailing in most other
countries. About twenty-four years
ago a young orator from the West
created some perturbation as a result
Of his proposal to have the United
states embark on the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of sixteen-to-one without the aid or
consent of any other natin on earth
Similarly it is dubtful IL we by our
selves can debate" without some
outside cooperation.
banking opinion also Is more or
less divided as to the efficacy of
the advance in the Federal Reserve
discount rates as a means for the
accomplishment of well-meant
purpose. The objection lies not so
much in the action itself as in the
expectations based upon 1t. 1t is
felt, in other words, that the Fed
eral Reserve measures should be a
part of a general policy. not a COM
plete program in itself.
The first step undoubtedly must
be systematic retrenchment in gov
ernmental expenditures through the
adoption of a well-planned budget
system. The reforms cannot be
effected through hasty economies
such as have been attempted in
Congress in the last two weeks
Not only the United States but the
countries Of Europe will have to
balance their budgets without bor-
rowing. Then and not till then will
we have a proof of solvency.
When we have settled on our expen-
ditures, we can proceed to the reform
in our taxation methods. The excess
profits tax should go. II is an an
achronism as a peace-time revenue
measure, and was adopted in the first
place only as a corrective to govern
mental price fixing The attempt to
transfer this burden to the lower
brackets of the income tax cannot
be defended from the standpoint of
purpose-the desire to raise revenue
and reduce prices. BY our present
method the public is forced to pay
the extreme rate of income and profits
taxes through additions to the price Of
articles bought. A consumption tax
or tax on sales. replacing the prof
its tax and to some extent reducing
the income tax. would effect an imme-
date reduction in price and operate
as strong deterrent to needless buy
ing. The tax would fall upon the buy
er instead of on the producer. who has
been passing it on in trebled form to
the buyer. The prime incentive for
profiteerinE would disappear The only
way to dodge taxes would be to save.
The tax should he easy to administer
for it would be in form of stamps.

U. S. DEPOSITARIEs.

Changes wrought by the war in the
governments financial situation are
given as the reason for abolishing hun
dreds of the depositaries and revising
the plan for distribution Of government
moneys followed since prior to 1872.
OF 81 national banks until recently
designated as government depositaries
less than 100 will continue to act in
that capacity after drastic changes,
now being worked out by the Treasury
Department, have been completed.
The new policy does not contemplate
disturbance of the resent system Of
special depositaries created as an emer-
gency measure in the war. Such de-
positaries automatically will cease to
function when the period OF their use
fulness ends.
While the Trea sury Is cutting OF
the Inactive accounts, IL also is reduc-
ing the balances carried by many other
banks-in all. in fact, where govern
ment transactions do not require the
use Of large sums.
Scientific apportionment." il is said.
will be basis in the future for DISPOSE
ton of surplus funds. Officials ex-
planned the new policy as to deposit
taries would operate so that each bank
will be able TO realize equal returns
on a basis Of business done for the
government.
Included in the list OF national banks
already struck of are SIS banks which
had accounts of only $1,000 and which
were designated as government deposi-
taries during the administration Of
Franklin McVeagh as Secretary OF the
Treasury for President Taft
Practically half OF the banks to be
deprived OF government balances al
ready have been eliminated from the
rolls, and outstanding balances thus
have been reduced from So COO. 900 to
81. 0o0.coo. Other banks will be taken
of of the official list OF depositaries
and other accounts will be reduced
until by the end of the calendar year
II is expected the new policy will be
fully completed. officials were reticent
today as to the geographical location
Of the depoRtaries Cancelled.
