Atlantic City, Sept. 26.—Walter W.
Head, of Omaha, was elected presi¬
dent. of thy. nieriean BajjJcers’ Asso¬
ciation herO&today..
Atlantic CityyN, J., Sept. 26.—The
economic stability of America de¬
pends largely upon educating the
masses to the proposition that re¬
mote consequences must not be over
looked in the evolution of plans of
progress, William A. Scott, director
of the School of Commerce at the Lin¬
iversity of Wisconsin, said today in a
speech before the general convention
of the American Bankers Association,
^PV^ssion following the war, he add
ed, is attributable to the .neglect of
remote consequences.
“We must learn to see the things
that are not obvious,” continued Mr.
Scott. “There probably are many
reasons why we don t see and there
fore neglect remote consequences,
One is the very fact of their remote
ness. What is present and directly
before us strikes our vision, obtrudes
itself upon us. We cannot neglect it
if we would. One might wreck in
numerable (railroad trains and kill
]Vm mt u des of passengers before
[yarning to run a locomotive by sim
ply pushing and pulling the levers
al]( j observing what happens. In this
( ,. |S0 S01TU , knowledge of the mechan
j sm ; s essen ti a l to success. The same
thj is true 0 fthe social machine.
K „ d less experimentation may yield
(mly ne „. ative resu l ts and it may be
hopelessly wrecked long before we
have finished finding out what to do.
„ The war greaUy increased the ex
j )ellses H f government and made high
er taxes necessary. On the principle
that the people should contribute to
the support of government according
to their abilities we levied graduated
income taxes. What we saw were the
increased public revenues and the dis
tribution of taxes according to a
p ” nc ’ p * e we b e 'mved to be just.
What we did not see were the diver
sitrn of capital from essential indus
t*'' es to public uses through invest
ment in tax-free securities . . and , the ,
partial defeat of the very ends we had
in 'dew. ;
“During the war we also arbitran
lv regulated the prices of a large
number of commodities. What we saw
were the prevention oi profiteering
and the stimulation of the production
of war materials and supplies.. What
we did not see was a remote conse
quence the disturbance of the noi
mal price and profit relations upon
which the success and smooth opera
tion of our enitre economic mechan
ism depends, interference with the
normal flow of investment streams
the over-equipment of some indus¬
tries, the under-equipment of others
and the fostering of the belief that
the government is omnipotent in eco¬
nomic matters and can arbitarily ad
just prices and profits to suit its own
ideas of justice or expediency or to
meet the desires of blocs or classes
that may chance to be politically
dominant.”

MEXICAN REVOLT DAMAGE
CLAIMS PASS $250,000,000
(Bv Associated Press.)
Mexico City, Sept. 26.—Claims for
damage to foreign property resulting
from the Mexican revolution, already
filed with the National Claims Com¬
mission total more than $250,000,000
according to the commission’s last
report.
Should a revolutionary claims con
vention be adopted after resumption
of diplomatic relations between the
United States and Mexico, as pro
posed in the understanding reached
at the pre-recognition conference, this
amount will be enormously increased
as numerous American and other for
eign claims have not yet been filed
with the national commission, but are
held up for settlement through diplo
natic channels.
