FACTS FOR THE
CITY TAXPAYERS

Voters whether they are tax
payers or not should keep in
mind the bond issue election
which will be held next Tuesday
at the regular polling places. 1t
is desired to get the opinion Of
the voters upon the issues in
volved and there should be a
general expression.
The Tribune has presented a
number Of comparative figures
in the hopes of checking further
public expenditures and of direct
ing public opinion to a closer
study of city management. It
can do no more and the voters
after weighing the facts pre-
sented here comprise the jury
and their verdict is final.
It is merely a business propo-
sitio.: and no politics is involved
in the campaign Of education.
If the city is to reduce the over
head cost, the time to begin is
now.
There is more than a million
Of indebtedness to be met. City,,
state and county taxes aggregate
more than $500, 900 a year. The
tax cost of doing business in the
city has reached beyond the limit
it should for a city of this size.
The Tribune admits that it
would be wise economy to dis
pense with the present horse
driven fire apparatus, but for
$500 or $4,000 a truck can be
secured and the present fire
equipment transported on that.
The salvage from the sale of the
horses and wagon can be applied
on a truck purchase. This mat
ter can be handled easily out of
the general budget. Sufficient
repairs to the pest house can be
made without recourse to bond
issue. An incinerator is Of
doubtful value at this time and
there is no pressing need.
DeAation not initiation in tax
costs and public expenditure is
the objective in federal, state
and local governments. Let Bis
marck show by it's vote next
Tuesday that it is determined to
keep the taxes down until some
of the present debt is paid off
and unpaid city warrants for la
Dor and supplies are met.
When Bismarck gets on cash
basis and can meet all obliga-
tions without resorting to regis
tering warrants and taking from
the people an additional interest
toll, it will be high time to agi-
tate more bond issues.
Vote No three times next
Tuesday and reduce your taxes.

Reports Show

pears to Have Been Hit
the Hardest
NORTHWEST ALSO GOOD

Crops in many sections of the state
are above the average this year, ac.
cording to Commissioner of Agricui-
ture and Labor John N. Hagan, who
has returned from an extensive auto
mobile trip through many counties.
Mr.. Hagan passed through the Can
adian border counties of Renville, Bot.
tineau, Rolette, Cavalier, Towner and
.Pembina In his trip. The crops gen.
orally In these counties were above
the average, with harvest nearing, ne
said. The wheat crop was little
better than average, the oats crop a
little short except in the Red River
valley counties, and rye is fair. Rye
Is now being cut. The potato crop
generally was good, he said.
Mr.. Hagan received information
from persons who had visited Wiz
liams, Mountrail, Mckenzie, Burke and
Divide counties, in the northwest part
of the state, and reports stated that
the crops would be average or better.
Conditions In north central counties,
including Ward and McHenry, are
spotted. Unless rust gains great head
way crops in the Red River valley will
be above the average, it is stated.
They are good between jamestown and
Fargo, he said. In places where it
was feared drouth had ruined the
crops many fields are found to have
wheat that Is we'll filled and will make
a good yield.
Good Burleigh Fields.
The southwest section has been
hardest hit, although in some sections
this damage has been over-estimated.
Wheat on farm of DR.. c. C. Hibbs,
east of Bismarck, it is predicted, will
average from IL to 20 bushels an acre.
There are IS acres in this tract. An
other field of over 100 acres will yield
somewhat less. DR.. Hibbs estimates
the entire yield at about 10 bushels.
Reports from around Beulah and
killdeer are optimistic, stating pros
poets are exceedingly good for Il
strong average yield. The same is
true In north Burleigh and parts OF
Mclean county.

Heavily Bought.

New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin. Nov. 20.
The Berlin Stock Exchange is getting
back to saner driving after the shaking
up brought on by the collapse of the
mark. speculations in the dollar last
week subsidized and genuine motives be-
gan to be apparent for purchases.
1t was a week OF reports of new and
important combines and consultations
The Hamburg American and the Lloyd
steamship lines were reported to be
getting ready to bury the hatchet. The
Schwartzkopf Company and the Hart
mann Machine Works, two Of the lead
ing German locomotive concerns, were
said to be planning a fusion and absorp-
ton Of the Mansfield Company and two
other concerns by the Allgemeine Ele'--
tricitaets Gesellschaft was cred
with being only a modest beginning of
much more significant tendency. The
Rhine-Elbe concern also was said to
have far reaching plans.
Three Of the leading spirit manufac-
turers. the Schultseiss, the Kahlbaum
and the Ostwerke. which already are
In combine. made an appreciable in
crease in capital stock and promise soon
TO absorb other plants. including inn
portant chemical works.
In the paper industry, the fusion OF
the Varziner with the Feldmuehle Cellu-
lose has now been effected. The effect
of this will be to increase normal buy
ing.
The outstanding stock drive has been
for Upper Silesian shares for foreign
customers. Eattowitz Is in great de-
mand. The eagerness for Hoheulohe
stocks is attributed to purchasing by
the Credit Lyonnais Of Paris.
The stock market already counts on
the failure Of the industrial loan project
and is sceptical of the Governments
programme to obtain foreign exchange
by other methods. It Is generally be-
lieved now that the dollar will not
tumble further

20 MILLION ISSUE BY
CONSOLIDATED GAS
National City Company, Buy
er. Will Offer Notes TO
Yield 6.08 p. c.

The Consolidated Gas Co. has sold
s2O.Ooo.OO OF it's one year per cent.
gold notes secured by pledge of s2s.oo0,-
900 New York Edison stock TO the Ma
tional, City Company. which will offer
the NAV notes to-day at 100B and ac-
crued interest, yielding COS per cent.
The purpose Of the financing is to pro-
vide funds to retire s25,000,o00 one year
secured s per cent. gold notes due
December I.
The company had made a different
proposal to care for this maturity in
the form of an application to the Public
Service Commission for permission to is
sue first mortgage bonds Of the New
York Edison Company. This appplica-
ton had not been granted up to Satur-
day, and as a result the company and
it's bankers decided to put out an issue
that did not require the consent of the
commission.
The new notes are not callapie.
George B. Cortelyou. president of the
company. in a letter to the bankers ex-
planned the companys financial position
In part as follows:
"The value of the property of the Con-
solidated Gas Company owned in Zee is

The company also owns s54,'94,l6o

BONDS MOVE UP AS
MONEY GOES DOWN
Buying in All Glasses of Fixed
Income Securities Is Heavy
During Week.

The tendency of call and time money
rates was definitely downward last
week and the bond market once more
started forward. Persistent buying in
all SslssAs of fixed income securities OH
the New HorA Sssck Exchange was
noted and their yields were steadily de-
creased. The greatest activity was in
old line railroad bonds and foreign gov
eminent bonds. both of those classes be-
ing under special influences. The rails
were bought on resumption of dividend
payments by two roads and the foreign
governments were in demand from in
vestors who were satisfied with the
progress OF the Washington conference.
Considerable activity developed in the
field OF new offerings of bonds. OF
which more than 100000 was sold to
the public. The largest piece of new
financing was the long expected $5O,0OO.-
900 of per cent. twenty year bonds of
the New York Telephone Company. The
phenomenal success of that issue
startled the banking world and gave
rome indication of the Unsuitable appe-
tite OF American investors.
Those telephone bonds were oversub-
scribed several times and allotments
were so small that dealers rushed pell
NELL into the open market to fill their
orders. That issue was listed on the
New York Stock Exchange on Wednes-
day, and before the close of Saturdays
BUSINESS much more than 100000 of the
bonds had been sold at prices as high as
1908. or premium of almost points.
AS predicted the supply of loanable
funds greatly exceeded the demand for
them and there was every indica ton
of a still further easing of money rates,
II money rates do go lower there will
L. IL
according to the best opinion, but il.
on the other hand. money is to be
pegged around the AZ per cent. level
great many high grade bonds are sell
ing high enough The return on a large
number OF the best railroad and in
dustral bonds is just about in line with
current money quotations. II is not
expected, however. that the commercial
demand for money will be very great
during the next several months. Con-
sequently it is logical to conclude that
the bond market will continue strong
and active for considerable time.
With the New York Telephone issue
out of the way. the Street is eagerly
awaiting the offering of $50 100000 of
twenty year 6lh per cent. bonds of the
New York Edison Company. 1t is un-
derstood that public offering of them
is merely awaiting their formal ap
proval by the Public Service Commits
sion. Bond dealers report a remarkable
interest in those bonds on the part OF
investors and a large number of re-
quests to accept tentative subscrip-
tions TO the issue have been received.
IT Is likely that that issue will go just
as fast as did the New York Telephone
bonds.
It could not be learned definitely that
anything had been done on certain
large foreign loans pending. with the
exception. perhaps. of the Bolivian loan,
which may be offered shortly.
