FORD PLAN SEEN IN DETROIT'S

DETROIT, Jan. II. - The unseen hand of Henry Ford steering the course of Detroits municipal railway lines through William B. Mayo, his chief engineer, is believed to be at work here Mayo has taken charge of the street railway system and an nounces the inauguration of two out and-out Ford policies-constructi of street cars by the city and a bonus system for employees of the city lines.
 Ford has always schemed to manu- facture everything that goes into the "flivver," and Ford employees have benefited from the bonus system for years. That Mayo's injection of two well-known Ford principles into the street car system was inspired IS the belief of some observers.
 Ford has kept in close touch with street car affairs. Mayo, as mem Der of the Street Railway Commission, was consulted by Mayor Couzens ire ouentlv The automobile magnate has instructed Mayo to devote as much or his time to the street railway lines as may be required. Trailers Will De built by the city at first, and Mayo estimates they can be built for about s6 900, a saving of $1,O0O above pri- vate prices.
 The bonus system is planned to en- courage street car platform men to avoid accidents. The division will pc

FORD MAKES COKE;
 SELLS TO WORKERS

DETROIT, Jan. II. - The Ford Motor Company, by producing coke and selling it to employees at $S a ton, is saving workers approximate ly s100,0OO each month on their coal bills.
 According to estimates, about 800 tons daily are now being delivered to the homes of workers, which means that Highland Park, River Rouge and other plants receive ap- proximately 12,500 tons monthly.
 Thus these employees are assured of ton a month minimum each at a fair price, according to the Ford News
 With coke selling throughout De- troit and vicinity at from $14 to $16 ton, it will be seen that work CTS, individually, are able to save in many cases from $6 to $S, or vir- tually what the company asks for ton.

 Detroit factories will dismiss em- ployes piecemeal instead of en masse to aid in relieving street car conges- tion.
 Will Mayo dare apply Ford's latest suggestion to the street car lines-cut the fares one-half? Mayo refused to comment when asked about it.
 When Ford announced few months ago the price of the ''flivver" would be cut below the cost of production, many business men predicted nothing but disaster for his company as re- suit Right now Ford is making more money than ever before through in

BERLIN BUILDING SOLD

BERLIN, Jan.

The purchase sum of a building, which the Farmers Assocl' ation of the district wanted to ac' quire in town, was fixed at 10000 hundredweight of potatoes, a potato indeed representing a more stable and substantial value than the ever fluctuating paper mark in present day Germany.

OUR EXPORTS FOR DECEMBER
 ENCOURAGING

 56 per cent over the same month in 1921, exports of Alaskan products in December 1922 were valued at $4,519,77S, an increase in amount of $1,616,724, according to the mnoth- ly statement of commerce issued by Collector of Customs John c. Me Bride. Every industry is represented in the gain furs being first in value closely followed by copper. Territory for last month was valued at $5,130,660 returned U. s. pro- ducts being valued at $94,214, while products from foreign countries clear ing through Alaskan ports amounted to $516,66S. The latter was made up of shipments from Siberia brought through Unalaska by trading steam CTS returning after a season in Si- beria. The total export trade for the month was $1,928,529, larger than in December 1921.
 Seal Skins Decline
 Although the Government seal skin catch from the Pribiloff Islands which is included in last months exports, was over 5000 skins larger than the catch in 1921, it declined approximately $200,0OO in value. This is accounted for, said MT. Mo Bride by the lower valuation per skin placed by the Government. In 1921 each skin was valued at ap- proximately $37.5O, but this years valuation was only $25, a total of 31, ,489 skins being taken, valued at $802,000 as compared to 26,135 skins last year valued at $1000,O0O
 Other furs listed as exported dur ing the month, were valued at $1,- 270,186 This, however, includes the shipments of fur by mail for the entire year, amounting to little more than $10OO,OO0.
 High Lights of Report
 Some of the most marked increases shown follow:
 Herring from $S5,356 to $201 ,245.
 Fresh fish other than salmon from $4S,114 to $72,515.
 Canned salmon from $268,O0O to $125,771.
 All other kinds of fish and fish products including shell fish, from $13,S5S to $29,077. Fish oil from $3,333 to $22,361. Copper Value Higher Despite a decrease in the tonnage of copper shipped during the month from that of a year previous, the value of the shipments were higher, showing an advance in the prices per pound of that metal. In 1921 cop per shipments totaled S,SS1,013 lbs. as against 7,937,427 pounds for last month with respective values of | $1,048,2214 and $1,109,544 Gold more than doubled in value for the month being $711 ,2S7 as com pared to $345, 766 for December, 1921 Silver showed slight decrease as did lead.
 The output of the marble quarries shipped during the month was val ued at approximately $25,000 a net gain over last year.

TAXING SECURITIES
WILL MAKE MONEY
SCARCE AND HIGH
Farm Loan System Would Be
Put Out of Business,
Quick Says,
BY HERBERT QUICK

/ I talked with a Congressman last
night
What's your idea" he asked, "on
this movement to amend the United
States Constitution so as to abolish
I tax-exempt securiues?"
I'm in the minority" said I, as
usual. I'm opposed to the taxation OF
any securities. Taxing the securities
which are now tax free is a movement
fro ma correct principle. so far as we
have gone, to an incorrect one. Tax
ing securities will put an end to cheap
money to the farmers through the
Federal farm loan system.
Therefore, the Farm Mortgage
Bankers Association. which sells
mortgages mainly to insurance com
panies, trust companies and savings
banks, in whose vaults they are very
lightly taxed are in favor of the
amendment, because under ii they
could put the farm loan system out of
business
Il see that" said the Congressman
Wall Street Opposed
Then again" said I, heres an
article by Leo Sack, which shows
that good roads construction reached
its high point last year. All these
roads were built through tax-free
bonds. The railroads hate the motor
truck and the flivver. SO the roads
are opposed to tax-free bonds, and so
is Wall Street. The/aholition of tax
free bonds is demanded by the very
people who are held up in argument
as profiting by them"
Il see that" said the Congress-
man, but how about the farmers
organizations? They seem to be for
the amendment"
They are either ignorant or mis-
guided" said 1, cor perfidiously led
But after you have voted for this
amendment and it passes the States.
and you go back to your farmers who
will be paying to 10 per cent on
their loan, as against So now, 1
don't envy you when you face the
farmres"
People Demand 1t
II believe you're right" said he,
but I've got to vote for the sub
mission of the amendment. My peo-
pie demand it. But I believe It's
wrong. The wrong kind Of people are
pushing the amendment"
IT'S false doctElne," I went on.
when you tax evidences of in
debtedness, the lender merely adds the
tax to his interest rates. You can't
stop him by usury laws or in any
other way. He'll find some place
where he can lend his money at the
economic rate il he has to have the
marines called out to make such
countries as Haiti or Cuba borrow
from him. SO taxing securities will
only make money scarcer and higher
in this country"
Il believe you're right" said the
Congressman.

Money Changers of America
Profit by Chaos in Europe

Horsemen mount their steeds to ride
down the rest of mankind? War,
Death, Famine, Pestilence, with
Americas soul fixed on profits?
The powder and gun makers, the
meat packers, the militarists, the
money-changers may see in it only a
matter Of economies, but how do the
American people, as a people, feel?
Americans are a people of generous
heart, high principle, and noble aims.
But they lack courageous leadership.

Our Government at Washington ac-
comphshes nothing save earning a
reputation for avoiding doing any

an international conference, under
Americas leadership, for a possible
change in the present horrible world
status. Whatever that plans weak
