PRIVATE SECURITIES
WILL BE REGULATED
Washington, Jan. 11.—Regulation
of the issue of practically all private
securities soon will be proposed by
the government.
Legislation is being drafted, au
thorizing the treasury to license each
individual security issue and to re
fuse approval to enterprises not es
sential to the conduct of the war.
This function wilLbe assigned to the
Federal Reserve Board or some agen
cy created by it, which also would
pass on the priority of capital needs.
As a collateral plan, formation of
a government corporation to absorb
any of the approved stock or bond is
sues has been agreed upon tentative
ly.
A preliminary being considered at
the White House is issuance of a pro
clamation calling on governors and
legislatures of all states, and county,
city or other local officials to cease
making expenditures for public im
i
_ 4
! provements not absolutely necessary
i and to refuse building or other per
j mits as far as possible to private con
' struction not contributing direetly to
| the prosecution of the war.
Secretary McAdoo discussed the
! question today with treasury advisers
! and some definite action is expected
within a week.

FALSE REPORTS.
Special to the Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 12.—Gov. Brough
and Secretary of the Treasurer Mc
Adoo warn the people against giving
ci edits to reports that the govern
ment contemplates the seizure or
confiscation of bank deposits.
Mr. McAdoo points out the illegality
of such reports, and the utter foolish
ness of such a short-sighted policy.
These rumors may have been
started by enemy aliens or sympa
thizers by evil design or through ig
norance, probably both, but what
ever the source, they are most hurt
ful.
The government is paying the peo
ple well for the use of their money,
and securing them for its bonds,
either Liberty Bonds or War Savings
Certificates.
ALLEGED BANDIT IS
BOY MILL WORKER
Searcy, Jan. 11.—Investigation has
developed that the young man who is
said to have admitted holding up the
cashier of the Co-tton Plant Bank and
Trust Company of nearly $4,500, was
Ben Crews, aged 20, who lives at
Kensett in this county. Crews told
officers at the time of his arrest that
his name was Raymond Martin. He
was arrested at McClelland, eight
miles from Cotton Plant, Wednesday.
Crews was employed in a stave
mill near Kensett. He left home two
lays before th ry. He has a
wife and a s onths old baby.
They will x>n Plant tomor
•ow to atteni amining trial.
Officers 85 of the money
aken froi on Crews at the
;ime of
ty for the term beginning January 1,
1918, and ending January 1, 1919.

is awarded will be required to re
ceive, comfortably house, clothe, feed
and furnish medicine and medical at
tention to* all paupers and give bond
in the sum of two thousand dollars
for the faithful performance of the
contract. All bids should be to take
care of each pauper at so much per
month while under the care and su
pervision of the contractor.
I hereby reserve the right to re
ject any and all bids.
