I’LtFSTY OF iftOKfct ; J
Two important developments in the
financial world during’ the past week
show that American capital is avail
able for sound investment. One iustnee
was the flotation of $lpO,000,000 loan
by Japan; the other the subscription
of $10,000,000 by eastern banking
houses for emergency agricultural re
lief in central Northwest.
The sale of the Japanese to a syndi
cate headed by four large New York
institutions marks the largest financial
operation for a foreign government
since the flotation of the $500,000,000
Anglo-French loan in 1915 ,and is the
largest piece of long term foreign gov
eminent financing ever undertaken in
this country. Incidentally, it is the
first direct external issue placed by
the Japanese in the American market
since 1905, the year of the Russo-Jap
anese war, and proves that American
capital, which usually does not take
serious risks, regards the relations be
tween the American and Japanese gov
ernments to be on a sound and friend
ly basis.
The money will be used in the re
construction of the devastated areas
swept by the recent earthquake, and
the American peo.ple undoubtedly will
reap further benefits through the ex
penditure of more money in this coun
try for reconstruction materials.
The readiness with which the $10,
000.000 loan for agricultural relief was
over-subscribed shows that conditions
even in the unfortunate sections where
numerous bank failures have resulted
are fundamentally secure. Half of the
loan was subscribed by New York
banks. The depression in agriculture
in the wheat growing states, due tc
various circumstances, has been recog
nized by the government and a serious
and earnest effort is being made tc
provide relief to tide over the situatior
Ten times the amount of the subscrip
tions, or $100,000,000, will be available
to the farmers through the War Fin
ance corporation, which has been of in
estimable benefit to the agricultural
districts.
Conditions, generally speaking, an

ARE MEN ABOVE 60 YEARS
“USELE' S-;” ,.
At V hat age should a man “retire?.’
\ much quoted remark attributed to
r/e fate Dr. William Osier was that
j men shuuld' be bhlorUf cWed at* 60. Yet
| Osier did not make the statement. Ac-.
I cording to Dr. lit .vev W. Wiley, in
Eebrtiafy flood* Housekeeping; it was
j made by Abtbony; " rollope and was
merely quoted by C,del- as an af^er’
; dinner pleasantry. Dr. Wiley points
i out that the opinion that men should
; retire at 60 is in harmony with the
practice of the army and navy depart
! ments, yet he declares—and he is.
many years past 60 himself—that
many men do their best work in latei
years. He refers particularly to dis
tinguished men of our own history
Senator Alison, Senator Nelson, and
Joseph G. Cannon, statesmen; Rocke
feller, Carnegie and Morgan, among
the successful business men, and Chas.
W. Eliot, G .Stanley Hall and Lyman
: Abbott among our literary men. A
jmong European old men cited are
j Gladstone, Bismarck and Clemeneeau.
i The last census ■ shows that there are
j nearly 5.000,000 people over 60 years
I of age in the United States and it
| would be silly to say that most of
| them are useless.
i WHAT WILL COOLIDGE DO WITH
THE TAX PLAN?
What will President Coolidge do
with the democratic tax bill if it is pre
sented to him in substantially the
same form as it was passed yesterday
by the house? The question seems to
be answered by the sand the presi

vision program. With the aid of in
surgents^ the democrats were able, by
a vote of 222 to 196, to carry the Gart

In his Now York address “President
Coolidge declared the Garner program
was “political »in. theory/’ ;and '*impos
sible in practice.” iet that is the bill
which has gone thru the house and
Which goes next to the senate. Cool
*<3ge indirectly appealed to the house
republicans to stand as a unit against
it, but his plea was ignored. The mea
sure has to gauntlets to run—first, the
senate, which may be dominated by
the democrats and the insurgents bloc;
second, the conference committee. It is
within the realm of possibility that it
can pass both houses without being
materially changed if the ‘‘antis”
stand together. But in view of what
the president has said, it may expect
to confront a presidential veto, and it'
it docs the necessary two-thirds cannot
be mustered to pass it over the presi
dent's opposition.
WILD HOUSES BE CORRALLED
IN THE CARIBOU DISTRICT j
CLINTON, B. €., Mar. 4.—The last
great roundup of thewild horses of the \
Caribou will be staged this spring. Ev
ery cowboy iii the district will take <1 j
part. The animals will be sold at $5 |
a head. Those'not sold will be shot. 1
There are literally thousands of these
wild horses overrunning the rich grate- i
ting lands, and the1 event of rounding j
them op will be spectacular and excit
ing in the!extreme*
Government officials and. farmers
have combined in planning the mon
ster drive for the early spring, and
it is hoped the measure will be effec
tive in removing a nuisance which ev
ery year has become more and more
pronounced. ../)■) ■ t 7 •
Mejr. have been chosen to locate
the whereabouts of the herds w hich
roam the district, enticing' domestic'
animals away and causing considera
ble damage to the ranches, and an ef
fort will .be made to secure an approx
imate estimate of their numbers so ■
that when the roundup takes place a i
sufficient force shall be on hand to j
deal with the situation.
Wild horses have been more or less I
a nuisance to farmers in the upper
country for many years. There have
been numerous roundups in the Car
ibou, but when left unmolested for a
fey years the bands, have rapidly in
creased and become a very pressing
menace to the prosperity of farmers
and ranchers.
