INTEREST REVIVED

Freight Record and Monthly
Reports Start Wave of
Buying Today.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

oNrIhl blHpdtrH to Lie CtdT
NEW YORK, October 2S.-The
bond market today presented some
curious contrasts. The very highest
grade of securities. such as Govern
ments and savings bank rails. where
the yield was less than per cent,
were inclined to sag. Bonds return
ing from to 5A per cent were in
demand. the inquiry coming chiefly
from banks. The demand for the lat
ter grade of security apparently IN
dicated banking belief in long
period of abundant capital. At the
same time these bankers want at
least per cent. Atchison General As
dropped back below 80 while Colorado
and Southern Ais made new high
for the year These two fairly il
lustrate the differences in grade.
Rails Get Attention.
Speculative attention was again
centered upon the rails. Seaboard
Air Line adjustments were the lead :
ers, advancing more than point.
The Street" looks forward confident
ly to some extra payment on account
of the 12l2 per cent accumulations.
NJ. X. & r. adjustments were frm
around 65 and the st. LouisSan Fran :
cisco issues held their ground. st.
Paul bonds made little better re-
sponse to the improvement in earn
ings.
In the industrial group the feature
was investment buying of American
Smelling and Refining 5s at new
high prices.
Foreign Bonds Irregular.
Foreign bonds were irregular. Sell
ing appeared in Brazil IS, although
no news was at hand to account for
it. French issues continued heavy.
There was more talk about d. new
French loan. 7i2 per cent yield
was predicted in some quarters. The
new German IS were steady around
the previous close.
The most important new issues were

METAL ZINES TAX
.-41@r ~

Initiative Measure No. 28, known as the Metal
Mines Tax is to be voted upon on November 4th.
There has been an amazing amount OF prOpogan-
Ca spread in regard to the amount of taxes which
are paid by the mining companies of Montana.
Those favoring the passage of the tax bill claim
that the mines should be compelled to pay more
taxes Those who are opposed to the passage of
this bill claim the mining companies cannot pay
more taxes and ontinue to operate the mines. We
believe that all fair-minded people who are fami-
liar with the fats will admit that some of the pro-
ponents of the mine tax bill have made gross mis-
statements about the amount of taxes the big
mining ompanies of Montana are paying.
Our opinion is that a gross proceeds tax is
fundamentally wrong and will have tendency to
stop development, the result being that our great
mountains of wealth Will remain hidden No one
will prospect and lowgrade property will not be
worked With gross production tax, thousands
of men will be out of employment; will have no
money to buy the products of the farms nor to buy
coal. IF this should happen, it would affect every
one living in Carbon county. We do not know
whether the Anaconda mines would close or not,
if the tax passes but do believe that should OPP
erations continue the wages of the miners would
have to be cut. If the Butte mines should close,
the coal mines of Washoe which furnish the coal
Tor the Butte mines, W0ulQ necessarily Close lnlS
would greatly affect Red Lodge and Carbon coun-
ty 1t may be that there should be some adjust
ment of taxes on mines that are making money,
but Initiative Measure No. % is not the proper
remedy, nor is this the time when the largest mine
in Montana has lost over S13,O00000 in the past
five years, because of abnormal conditions result
ing from the war.
There are many Well-meaning but misinformed
people, advocating the passage of the bill and
there are some who seem to want to punish the
big mining company for some real or fancied
grievance. We do not believe the people of Mon
tana want to punishanybody to the detrment of
their own interests and the destruction of this
great industry. We believe they will vote for the
best interest of the entire state if they know what
that interest is.
This is the last issue of the Chronicle before
election and we would urge every qualified voter
to go to the polls and vote against Initiatve Meas
ure No. 28 In our judgment this is in the interest
of more than 100000 individuals, and more i'm
portant in the interest of greater Montana Let
us guard our own interests and at the same time
help to bring thousands of people into this great
state. This cannot be done by imposing greater
tax burdens, but by program of most rigid econ
omy. Let us make ECONOMY our slogan and
there will be no need for increased taxes for either
the individual or corporations.
