OCTOBER Mb mi Ml COHGB HIS $n THIS COURIRf Hill MUONS Washington, D. G, Oct. 27.—For po- tbs government in ten months the lltlcal objects hi connection with the dom of this expenditure is more approaching election the republicans Justified, are making the charge of extravagance against the Democratic Congress and are using that as a basis for their un patriotic assaults upon the emergency revenue blU brought forward for the purpose of providing an income for the government to take the place of the revenue loot by reason of decrease of importations on account of the Euro pean war. The extent to which this charge is ' unwarranted is conclusively shown by an examination of the various appro priations made by Congress for the present Congress and a comparison appropriations of previous Congress Including the river and harbor bills In each Instance, the total cash appro- priristions made hr Congress for the current fiscal year exceed the cash ap propriations made for the last fiscal y#ar of the Taft administration by tittle less than $11,000,000. This, how ever, does not include the increase $17,000,000 which goea to the improve men! and extension of the postal serv ice, a large part of which is to be employed for augmenting the parcel poet This Increase, however, is an asset to the government rather than a liability, for the reason that by the expenditure of $27,000,000 additional for the postal service, a sum greater than that amount is returned to the government in receipts from the serv ice. For the first time since the establishment of two-cent postage, s generation ago, the postal service tinder Postmaster-General Burleson yielding a profit to the government. Heretofore the postal sorvico has been run at a loss. Now it yields profit of four million dollars a year to Uncle Bam. Therefore, the twenty- seven million dollars is not properly chargeable aa an increase in the ap propriations. An examination of the facta as set forth in the appropriations shows that the present Congress has actually made a saving of millions of dollars, for the reason that moro than the apparent Increase of eleven million dollars has been alloted because of extraordinary demands upon the government and for projects and undertakings for which no other Congress has been obliged to ■pend money. These extraordinary exponsos ap proximate $29,300,000. and when the $11,000,000 actual Increase of appro priations is taken from that amount It showe that the present Congress In the matter of regular appropriation* haa made a saving of $18,000,000. One nt the Mg Items of emergency Increase was the $5,100,000 for the temporary •urance of American vessels and their cargoes incident to the European war. While this is an appropriation in r no way involves s loss upon tl government, for the reason that In the end the entire amount will come back to the treasury, and It will doubtless show a profit. It Is In the nature of an inveatment and not an extrava gance. It Is simply the exercise of governmental power In an emergency to protect the commerce of the United States and to enable the products of the country to be markoted In foreign countriee, where there is demand for them and where ship* would not go unloes they were Insured, For the relief, protection and trans portatlon of Americans in Europe it haa been necessary to expend $2,700,- 000. That was an extraordinary ap propriation brought about by the ap palling catastrophe across the sea and a large part of U will ultimately be rutVLrfiid to the treasury. Republi cans aa wall aa Democrats voted for it, aa Um? have for other emergency ap propriations. Moreover, the additional work which haa been Imposed upon oar embassies and legations in the countries at war by reason of taking over the responsibility of caring for the Interests of foreign nations these countries has entailed a cost of one million dollars upon the United States which but for the war would not have been necessary. The increase of $4,048,000 to the naval appropriation bill is more than offset by the tact that $«,635.ooo is to bu taken from the proceeds of the sale for more than $12,000,000 of the two battleships Idaho and Mississippi to Greece, to begin the construction of a third great dreadnanght. and there are to be laid this year keels for three great dreadnoughts Instead of two as Other typical Items of Increase which are certain to meet with public approval Include: For the Civil Service Commission, Including $16,000 for a new division efficiency—$46,000. For additional attorneys and agents to enforce federal laws—$50,090. For commercial attachees of the partment of Commerce who are to <let private enterprise in promoting :orelgn trado—$100,000. To equip the Department of Labor perform Us important function as agency through which strikes are pre rented and settled, and to provide for the altruistic work of the Chil dren's Bureau—$212,360. To enable the Bureau of the Census to take the census of manufactures for the United States—$4$1,000. Tbs present Congress has proceeded making appropriations upon theory that an investment of public funds which yields large returns the government and to the people the wisest sort of expenditure.

This was of* then flcially announced yesterday. Secretary McAdoo, authorised the opening date, made the announce ment. His choice of the 16th was made despite the recent recommenda tions o ftbe directors and governors of the twelve banks against opening before Nov. 80. Mr. McAdoo declared he had reach ed bis decision after discussion with the Federal Reserve Board and be cause of emergency conditions in the South. He believe# the opening of the banks, especially helpful there, will benefit business in all sections. Hecretary MeAdoo's Statement In a statement last night the Secre tary made It clear that under the new system the federal government will be able by deposits from the general fund nt thw fr»mMiry In h#fi1ta to aid producers of staples. The new reserve requirements, be pointed out, will release more than $400,000,000 of money now held by national banks as reserves and will add greatly to the loaning power of the banks. The statement in part follows: “I have determined to announce on the 16th day of November, 1914, the establishment of the federal reserve banks in all the federal reserve dis tricta. On that date the new reserve requirements for national banks as prescribed by the act will become op erative. impelled to this decision par ticularly because of the emergency conditions In the South and the con fident belief that the prompt opening of the reserve banks will be very helpful to the cotton situation and general business in all sections of the country. "This conclusion has been reached after a thorough discussion with my associates on the Federal Reserve Board, who are co-operating cordial ly with me and also after full consid eration of tho views expressed by the directors of the federal roserve banks at their recent conference In Washington with tho federal reserve banks. Realises Difficulties, m fully aware of the physical difficulties that must be overcome to sot the reserve banks in motion on the 16th of Novomber, but the di rectors of these banks represent the highest degree of American banking ability and I am sure that not only can they meet the situation but they will cheerfully take up the the same fine spirit of public service which animated their discussions at the aWshington conference. As the result of the enactment of i war revenue measure, the parity between receipts and disbursements of the treasury will soon be happily restored. This will make it possible for the treasury to render still great er service than It haH already ren dered In helping the financial situa tion in the South and iu other parts of tho country where the need has appeared. The prompt oponing of tho federal reserve banks will make the assistance of tho treasury doubly powerful bocause tho federal reserve act authorizes tho Secretary of the Treasury, In his discretion, to depoB- i large amount of the moneys held the "general fund" In the federal roserve banks and to require such banks to act as fiscal agents of the United States; and also in his discre tion to deposit the revenues of the government, or any part thereof, in the reserve banks and to make dis bursementa by checks drawn agalns! such deposits. New System's Advantages. Under the present system the Sec retary of the Treasury cannot with prudence scatter the ‘general fund' the treasury among tho great num ber of widely separated national hanks throughout the country. Up the preaent time I have gone aa in that direction as I have folt wise to go but with the large powers conferred by the federal re serve act and the use which I may able to make or the roderal re serve banks as fiscal agents of the government It will be prudent and wise to deposit a large amount of the general fund' of the treasury in the federal reserve banks. As soon, therefore, as the reserve banks are In operation. I shall trans- to them aa large an amount of government funda as possible; thie III in turn enablo them to extend larged credits to national banka and state banks which may become mem- of the federal reserve system, which they, In turn, may extend to their customers. By this means and through the agency of the federal re serve banks, I hope to give addi tional assistance to that already giv- by the Treasury Department to the cotton producers, the cotton Industry the business men of the Sooth. "The new reserve requirements, hich will become operative on the day of November, will release than $400,000,000 of reserve money and largely increase the cred facilities of the banks of the coun* STEEL TRUST LAWYER LAUDS CARMEGIE Philadelphia, Oct 27.—Tbs third anniversary of the government’s suit to dissolve the United States Steel Corporation was observed here yes terday by the continuation of argu ments. Henry E. Colton, for the gov. ernment, concluded his argument and waa followed by David A. Reed of Pittsburg for the corporation. A development was the govern ment's announcement that, in view of the cancellation of the Great Northern Railway interests ore de posits in the Lake Superior district to the Steel Corporation, the govern ment's action against eighteen land companies controlled by the Great Northern had narrowed dowi question of cost In the present suit. The government originally wanted the lease cancelled on the ground that It gave the Steel Corporation mo nopolistic control of ore beds in th* Lake Superior region. Mr. Colton closed his argument, presented figures to support me gov ernment's contention that the Steel Corporation along with Independent manufacturers kept prices of iron and steel products uniformly high since the organisation of the concern, said the Steel Corporation sold prod ucts cheaper in foreign markets than at home. Mr. Reed opened his argument for the Steel Corporation with a tribute to Andrew Carnegie, named as an individual defendant, for his philan thropic work. He resented the gov ernment's characterization of Mr. Carnegie as a conspirator to monopo lize the steel business and restrain trade. Ho presented figures to show that the Steel Corporation’s business not growing as rapidly as that of independents. CONDITIONS IN MOUTH PR USED BY FAHEY. Memphis, Oct. 27.—There is no idence of prostration of business uanicky condition in the South, ac cording to John H. Fahey, of Boston, president of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. Fahey and other members of that or- genization were here yesterday their tour through the South. They left last night for Birmingham. .We have observed with the great est satisfaction," said Mr. Fahey, "the spirit of self-confidence and optim ism everywhere apparent among the business men In the itles we have visited, in spite of the temporary dif ficulties created by the war. The Impression has prevailed in some sec tions that the South was completely prostrated’and woll nigh panic-strick en over cotton conditions. We did no tflnd the slightest evidence such a conldtlon." 16th more Oat?

C., Oct 28.—War’s continued effect on American com merce—a tremendous increase in the sale of foodstuffs for foreign armies and a marked decrease in exporta tion of cotton machinery and materi als for use in manufacturing—was shown in detail yesterday by. statis tics compiled by the Department Commerce . Exports of grain and meats jump ed to practically unprecedented quan title# in September, resulting In great Improvement over August's trade and a substantial export bal- but the decrease iu the sal< abroad of cotton and manufacturers resulted in a loss of $61,902,668, com pared with September, 1912. The gain for September’s exports over those for the first month of the war was $45,968,219. Supplemental figures obtained at the department showed that exportations of canned beef Jumped from 364,692 pounds in September, 1313, to x.sso^oo last month.

In the year 1S46, a number broad-minded Georgians met at Stone Mountain, conferred with each other os to the most effective agency through which Georgia’s agricultural and Industrial possibilities could be exploited, organized the Southern Central Agricultural Society—chang ed in 1860 to the Georgia State Agri cultural Society—and arranged hold a State Fair at Stone Mountain in August 1847. The enterprise Instantaneously took deep root Annually, with the exception o* the four years of war, three years of rehabilitation and the Centennial year, a State Fair haa been held by the society itself or un der its auspices. The fifty-ninth Georgia State Fair, conducted by the Macon Georgia State Fair Association under the aus pices of the Georgia state Agricul tural Society, will be held at Macon November 3-13, next The great •vent is right at hand. The indica tions are that It will be a great fair —one of the most attractive and in structive held in yeera. 'Attractive and instructive?” Yea, both. Why, It is worth while to be permitted to get within the gates of s state fair in Georgia just to see the people who throng the thorough fares and crowd the exhibition halls. Indeed, It is. One gets a clearer, bet ter, broader, more appreciative in sight into the make-up of the folks who have made Georgia the second greatest state in the Union, But there will be this year one of the finest, most comprehensive col lections of agricultural exhibits ever brought together In any state In tha Union. It will be a marvellous dis play-telling a story of splendid achievement in field, orchard and garden. Unless all promises should there will be on exhibition the largest number of high-bred live stock ever assembled In Central City Park. That will be a study In itself. Without question .that display will do more to center the attention of farmers and capitalists in high-class live stock, a dividend paying investment than all that haB been written and spoken on the subject in a decade. Do not fail to see the State Fair and more particularly the live stock. There will be a splendid display of first-class poultry . This will worthy of the closest inspection on the part of farmers. If there be any products of any farm, now giving a more satisfactory return on amount invested and the labor ex pended, then egg-production and rais ing chickens, turkeys, ducks and guineas, I am ignorant of them. I am taking it for granted that ev erybody will carefully take in the score or more county agricultural exhibits, the boys corn club exhibits and the girl's canning club displays so shall not enlarge upon these. They •e a magnet within themselves. The farm implement display! I tie to that. It is of the first importance. It is uniformly so suggestive that it worthy of tho closest attention on the part of men who live by the plough. There you will see the disc plough that cuts the soil (twelve inches deep and turns it; there you will see cul tivators of the latest pattern, har rows, manure spreaders, hay tedders, seeding machines, grain drills, etc. The foregoing is merely a hint as what is in store for those who will Bhow interest in their own af fairs by attending the Georgia Stato Fair at Macon Nov. 3-13, next Mr. Julius H. Otto, president, and Mr. Harry G Robert, secretory of tho Macon Fair Association and General Manager of the Fair, havo each been Indefatigable In their efforts In be half of the fair of 1914. Those gen tlemen nave oeen cordially sustained by the representatives of the Georgia State Agricultural Society. That means that four live agriculturalists in each Congressional District have been zealously at work in the inter est of the State Fair during the past ten months. When the gates open to the expectant public on the morning of Nov. 3, the fair, except the finan cial department, will be under the personal supervision of fifteen repre sentatives of the Georgia Stats Agri cultural Society. The Stats Society and the Local Association will work shoulder to shoulder, enthusiastically and in perfect good humor, in making visitors at home and the fair a greet ■access. Remember, this to the people’s fair. Bainbridge, Ga., Oct 28.—The farm- era of Decatur county are not only opposed to growing much cotton this coming season but want a sort of moratorium declared against legal collection of debts. At their matt meeting here they resblved that fife acres per plow waa plenty and then too much. To make the yield oer* talnly email they declared for a min imum of commercial fertiliser on cot ton, while advocating a lot Of ma nure. And ae this la insufficient in quantity the amount of cotton pick ed in 1916 la to be mighty small, if the farmers generally adhere to thla resolution. Another resolution, which had no dissenting votes, was to the effect that they deplored attempts to col lect debts in 1915 through legal pro-, cess. But that this might not be un derstood to mean they did not intend to pay, they passed another resolu tion calling on all to make 1916 a year of payment, each to do hit best to liquidate all obligations. The Idea behind the other resolutions where plainly the farmer waa unable to pay on account of cotton condition*. The chief speaker at the meeting was Col. John B. Donaldson, who of fered all the resolutions adopted In a speech in which he praised President Wilson as the greatest the country has ever had, lauded Hoke Smith for his efforts In behalf of the cotton farmers, said a good word for Mr. Hardwick, Congressman Park; but lambasted the northern and western democrats who had blocked all efforts to relieve the South. The colonel ■aid his speech of the week before had been misconstrued, as he was a life-long democrat and never expect ed to vote any other ticket The farmers alio called on the gov ernor for an extra session to remedy conditions on the farms.
