PRIVATE BANKERS
ARE PUT UNDER BAN
u. S. PLACES EMBARGO ON
LOANS TO SEVERAL COUN-
TRIES. MUST PAY DEBTS.

The United States government has
notified private bankers that it would
look with disfavor not merely on loans
to foreign governments which have
failed to settle their war debts with
America, but on all loans to cities in
those same countries or to industrial
enterprises owned or partially owned
by federal governments. writes David
Lawrence the well-known newspaper
correspondent and political commenta-
tor. from Washington.
The embargo on loans, therefore,
has been made complete. France,
Italy, Greece, Jugo-Slavia, Rouma-
MIA and Russia are the only countries
left which have not yet agreed to set
tie war debts. In almost every case
with the exception of France com
mission is on its way to the United
States or the minister here has been
empowered to act.
The case of France presents inter
esting aspects. While the new minis
try has made no announcement about
its policy, considerable significance is
expected for the changed ambassador
at Washington. The reports that M.
Daeschaets is being recalled because
of the OVER optimistic character OF the
cablegrams before the French mis-
sion under M. Caillaux left France
are being taken with a grain of salt
because it is inferred that the real rea-
son is that France was DESTROYS OF
putting a man here much more famil-
lar with finance SO as to resume me-
gotiations quietly.
Senator. Victor Berenger, who is to
be the new ambassador, is known as
financial expert The move on the
whole is taken as a favorable sign be-
cause much of the work of negotiating
settlement can be done by an am
bassador if he is really authorized to
discuss the question with officials OF
the u. S. debt funding commission.
Meanwhile the ban on foreign loans
will have a profound influence on the
French attitude 1t must be stated
frankly that the American government
does not enjoy the process bit, but
feels that something vital ike the ban
on loans is the only way to bring
French opinion to realization OF how
seriously Washington regards a con-
tinuance Of the unsettled condition OF
war debts.

Judge Howard. 1T is up to the
churches and the civic organizations
of the community to help in bringing
about an era of lawfulness. Lawless-
ness is running rampant among the

GOVERNOR. SAYS TAXES ARE
BREAKING PEOPLES BACKS

Gov. Christianson pointed to this
enormous pay roll as one of the caus-
Is OF the increasing tax burden to the
citizens. He said unless the tendency
toward increased taxation in the coun-
try is soon checked the burden will
seriously impair the prosperity OF the
people.
There is a limit 10 the load the peo-
pie can bear. In many places that
limit has been reached; in some 1t has
been surpassed. Our institutions rest
on foundation consisting OF the
strained backs and taut muscles OF
those who work. The total tax bill Of
the nation, including federal, state and
local taxes, was a little more than
S. 0G0,000 600 in 1918" the governor
explained. In 10 years" he said, the
burdens have almost quadrupled.
The increased spendings OF the vari-
Gus municipalities and state govern
ments were characterized as "joy-rid-
ing" by the governor.

HINGES ON DRIVE.

A story that has gained wide circu-
lation in Washington, D. c., is to the
effect that unless the new prohibition
regime is able to make some Roadway
in enforcing the Volstead act con-
gress will be asked to modify the law.
The story was printed in the Fellow

William H. Anderson, formerly an
Anti-Saloon League worker.
The story has it that administration
officials, backed by such outstanding
industrial figures as Ebert H. Gary
and John D. Rockefeller, jr, will unite
in modification plea if the present
enforcement drive fails to yield re-
suits.

The thud of axes and the crash OF
10000 trees on the banks of the Usage
river near Bagneli, Mo, will herald
the construction of a dam that will
impound lake more than 100 miles
long and have go miles OF shore line.
Through the sluices will rush the

The lake to be created will have

The Missouri Hydro-Electric Co,
which will build the dam, also has
purchased land for the erection OF two
other power plants about 100 miles

MAXIMUM SURTAX RATE
SET At 20 PER CENT
PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS ARE
INCREASED FOR BOTH MAR
RIED AND SINGLE PERSONS.
LITTLE FELLOWS" GAMERS
Increase in Personal Exemptions Will
Remove More Than 100000 Per-

Law to Be Repealed.

Increased income tax exemptions
for the little man have been agreed
to by the house ways and means COM
mittee OF congress.
These reductions will cut $200,000,-
900 from the nations tax bill and af-
feet 100000 persons. Maximum sur
taxes were reduced to 20 per cent, in
stead OF the present 40 per cent rate.
Exemptions for single men were
raised from $1,000 to $500; for mar
ried men. from $500 to $500. The
committee allowed the present Is per
cent deduction on earned income to
stand
These are the principal provisions
of the new revenue measure to be laid
before the house when congress meets
one month hence.
Inheritance Tax to Remain.
Estate taxes will not be abolished.
The committee compromised by cut
ting the present 40 per cent maximum
in half.
Some democratic members OF the
committee voted against the propos-
ais, but there was no strict party di-
vision. Because the recommendations
constitute compromise, it is expected
that the fight on the floor OF the house
will be relatively mild.
On small incomes the committee
fixed the following rates: One and a
hall per cent on the first $4,000; 5
per cent on the next $4,000; 5 per
cent on income above $4,000.
Children under p who are attend
ing school probably will be classed
as dependents in the new bill.
Agree on Mellon Surtax Rate.
The committee agreed to Secretary
Melons proposal for 20 per cent
surtax maximum, but has not yet de-
vised the graduated scale.
Repeal Of the income tax publicity
law has been voted by the committee.
| 1t proposes to strike from the statute
books the compulsory publicity clause,
which has caused more Indignation
and criticism than any act of congress
since the Volstead law. The chief
complaint has been that it exposed
the personal finances OF individuals to
statesmen, business rivals, and curious
individuals without fulfilling its osten-
sible purpose, which was to reduce
tax evasion through publicity. Oppo-
nents of the clause have insisted that
because OF the broad exemptions in
the tax law the size OF the tax does
not correspond with any regularity
to the size of the income.

SWEEPING VICTORY IN THE
CITY OF NEW YORK.

First Time in Eighteen Years Repub
icans Elect Mayor of Boston. Each
Party Elects Congressman to Fill

The outstanding conclusions drawn
by political leaders from the of-year
elections in IS states mat drew many
millions of voters to the polls last

represented by New York and New
Jersey, is still wet.
Neither democratic nor republican
leaders attach much partisan signif-
canoe to the results.

Frank Waterman by 40l ,58l votes out
OF total OF slightly more than lO00,-
600 cast. With Walker the democrats

father of the boxing law in the state
and opponent of so-called "uplift"
generally. He is A years old.
The republicans elected large ma
jority of the state legislature.
Democrats Elect Wet Governor.
New Jersey gave a convincing dem
onstration OF its opposition to the
Nolstead law by electing to the gov
ernorship Az Harry Moore, democrat
who ran on an out-and-Out wet plat
form, while his republican opponent
championed the cause of prohibition
and was supported by the Anti-Saloon
League. He did not reiterate the
pledge Of one of his famous predeces-
sors, Edward l, Edwards, that he
would make New Jersey 'as wet as
the Atlantic ocean" But he did, with
in few hours after his election, an
nounce he would petition congress
for modification OF the Volstead act,
and work for the repeal OF the state
enforcement law His majority was
IS 900.
An overwhelming majority OF the
Legislature was elected by the repub-
leans.
Virginia, the only state besides New
Jersey to elect governor, voted a
straight democratic slate INTO office by
about 10000 majority.
In the only two congressional con-
tests each party held its own, the re-
publicans retaining control OF the
Third New Jersey district and the
democrats remaining successful in the
Third Kentucky district
Republicans Elect Many Mayors.
The republicans elected the mayor
OF Boston for the first time in Is years,
and in Indiana the republicans made
heavy inroads into the democratic
strength in municipalities. Besides
retaining control of the city govern
ment in Indianapolis the republicans
captured the mayoralty Offices from
the democrats at Fort Wayne, Evans
vile and Lafayette, the latter city hav-
ing been under democratic regime for
20 years. They also elected their can
didate for mayor of Louisville, Ky.
AT Bridgeport Conn, the entire re-
publican city ticket was swept into
office after eight years OF democratic
municipal rule.
