OLD SALOON TAX STANDS
Court Official Says Reduced Fee Is
? Effective Only in 1922

Despite the fact that bill was
signed by Governor Sproul in Harris
burg. on May s, cutting the license
fee Of retail liquor dealers in TINS State
from $11OO to 5000, the Philadelphia
saloonkeepers will not benefit by the
bill until May 81. 1929. This state
ment was made yesterday by William
w. Turner. deputy clerk of Quarter
Sessions Court.
IL was expected by many saloofkeep-
ers in this State that the new rate
would go into effect at the close Of the
fiscal year which ends May 81. but the
saloonkeepers received a surprise vI1en
they found that their license bill for
the month of June was exactly what II
always had been since the Brooks high
license law went into effect.

Sir Dr1tnlmOnd HuSerS job

has devoted the better part Of this
year going about Europe and ascer-
tainoing the facts. The Ter Meulen
bond scheme cts off poorly here, as
Sir Drummond will find, because Il
has side connection with the
League OF Nations which was orig
inally thought to be necessary to
make the bonds internationally ne
gotiable. This very connection would
now make the bonds unacceptable.
II the Ter Meulen scheme is to be
adopted events in the money market
during the last two years have
proved Il will have to be reduced TO
the simple issuance of bonds secured
by adequate tangible security. sub
ject to the closest banking scrutiny,
and in amounts limited to the re-
quirements in each individual case.
The possibility Of a League of Ma
tions blanket international bond Is
sue to be spent under the supervision
and according to the political expe-
diency Of governments has entirely
disappeared, IL indeed it ever ex-
listed. Even collective Endorsement
by various governments OF specific
loans will likely prove a handicap
because collective Endorsement inn
plies a weakness somewhere or Il
would not be necessary.
Experience OF the last two years
also has proved that the guaranty
or even the approval OF the United
States Government is not necessary
to the success OF foreign bond issues
here. although the individual guar
anty of foreign governments is re-
quired as a pledge against political
interference as much as an assur-
ance that the loan will be repaid at
maturity.
In brief. the question OF European
credits in this country comes dowr
to the hardest kind Of hard business
conditions, and the more so in view
OF the progressive depreciation IN
European currencies and the long de-
lay in settling reparations problems
The man who tries to sell a scheme
for the issuance Of internationa
bonds secured by a bankrupt League
Of Nations would be better of knit
