f ' ;- THE MORNING - OREGONIAN, TnURSDAT, APRIE 12, 1917. '-'J 1 - 31 i 4 ' "4 - s BOND DEALERS ARE HOT TO TAKE PROFIT Portland Men to Waive Com mission on Government Issue for War. DEMAND ALREADY HEAVY Subscription Books May Be Opened by Some Houses Today; Prospec tive Tax Increases Popular ity of Exempt Municipals. Portland bond dealers will handle their part of the new Government Issue of war bonds without the customary wiuminsion ana wiinout profit to them selves. In this they are adopting the at- muae taken Dy the big Eastern bank ers. While the Interest rate on the pro posed loan has not been determined, the bonds will be sold to the public on the first offering at par. It is probable that the rate will be as low as 3 per cent, and In no event is It expected to exceed 8 per cent. After mey pass from the hands of the Gov eminent It Is probable that the Issue Will command a slight premium. Local bond dealers already have had many inquiries from prospective pur chasers. It is probable that subscript tlon books will be opened by some houses today, as the demand Is getting Heavy. Of secondary interest In the Invest ment world Is the Government's plan for financing the war, or, in other words, of redeeming Its bonds. Presi dent Wilson has told Congress that he wants to pay the war debt, as much as possible, "as we go along," so It Is probable that various means of tax ation will be devised to meet these requirements. It is almost certain that the Income tax will be substantially increased and that Inheritance taxes, excess profits taxes and other levies will be Imposed upon the people who are best able to pay the bills. BInnlclpaJs May Be Exempt. But In calculating the taxes on In comes the Government possibly may exempt Its own bonds as well as Amer lean municipals, as it has done in the past. For that reason the demand for municipal bonds and other tax-exempt securities has been growing. As an example of this situation. State of Ida ho bonds which heretofore have been going at par, sold here yesterday at 101.07, approximately a 4.11 per. cent basis. Yesterday's advices from the East re flect a similar situation there. A syn dicate was formed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and other large bond houses to Pur chase $25,000,000 of State of New York bonds at a premium of $1,304,250. More than half of these bonds already have been sold and the remainder are offered at a price that will yield a net return or only 3i per cent. "Municipal bonds are sure to be prime security for many years to come," said John A. Keating, president or tne Lumbermen a Trust Company yesterday. "The decline of interest rates obtainable for foreign govern ment loans, the prospective offer of billions or dollars of United States bonds at a low Interest rate, and the Improving conditions in rural districts are factors that will combine to make municipal bonds of American towns, cities, counties and states more pop ular." Savings Investment Expected. Local bankers expect a substantial withdrawal of money from savings ac counts for investment in the new Fed eral loan, but they expect this money eoon to drift back into the banks again. It 13 estimated that a large percent age of the Government's funds will be epent in the Northwest for grain, ships, lumber, foodstuffs, wool and all other commodities needed to carry on the war. The money taken from this part of the country In the form of bond In vestments and taxes will find Its way back through the hands of producers and manufacturers. Bond dealers here expect a big rush of applicants as soon as the securities are offered for sale. It Is probable that an allotment will be made for each state In proportion to Its popu lation. Judging from the present demand, Oregon's allotment will be oversub scribed many times. 'WINDSHIELDS' ARE SEIZED James Mamaras Is Arrested as Pro- hibition Law Violator. James Mamaras, proprietor of a Greek restaurant, was arrested yester day forenoon at 105 North Sixth street, by Patrolmen Burke and Thompson and Deputies Miles and Emith, of the United States Internal Revenue Service, on charges of having violated the prohibition law. Billed as "automatic automobile windshields, handle with care," a con signment from San Francisco was broken open and found to contain sev eral quarts of whisky and alcohol. Bail was fixed at $500, which Mamaras fur nished. PETITIONS TO BE CHECKED Fraudulent Names Found on Some i Initiative Requests.

TRIAL MAY END TOMORROW Project Promoted by E. R. Erlckson and E. B. Rivers Alleged to Have Been Misrepresented by Attractive Pictures. How the operators themselves re garded the scheme to sell town lots on the arid acres of Butte County, Cali fornia, for which E. R. Erickson and E. B. Rivers are now on trial in Fed- ral Court, charged with havinar used the mails to defraud, was shown in interesting fashion yesterday in the testimony of R. A. Leonard, District Attorney of Butte County. He said he was an attorney in Oro- vllle in 1912, at which time he sought to collect a bill from Mr. Rivers. The latter called at his office and said he would be able to Day the bill before long. as. he said. We have a scheme that will get the money from the suckers." w. T. Baldwin, an abstractor, who became familiar with the plan of town lot selling, testified he told Rivers he was taking awful chances in his op erations, as they were in conflict with the law. Lottery System In Sale Used. 'The Orange Subdivision of Therma- llto" was the title of the paper town. lots in which were sold throughout the Middle West and in the Pacific North west for the modest price of $8.60 each. Purchasers were made to feel that they were winning something, the form of a drawing or lottery being used. The small fee was nominally for legal fees in perfecting deeds. Mr. Baldwin testified that as town lots, the land was worthless. - As acre age, he said, it was perhaps worth $15 an acre. George C. Mansfield, editor of the Orovllle Daily Register, said the building of a town near by was not known there until a swarm of deeds began coming in from the Middle West for registry with the county officials. He then investigated the town with the wonderful growth and character ized it In his paper, he said, as a wild cat scheme. Plan Never Explained. The Orovllle Chamber of Commerce protested and Rivers was asked to ap pear before that body and explain the plan of operations. This he promised to do, but never made good his word. One of the attractive pictures in the literature used by the promoters of the Orange Subdivision was that of a young girl and her dog In the fore ground of a photograph of a luxuriant fig orchard. TOiss Rebecca McNamee, aged 2. was placed on the stand yesterday by Dep- ty United States Attorney Goldstein and identified the picture as one taken of herself 15 years ago in her father's orchard at Thermalito, two miles away from the tract sold as town lots. Yet the caption beneath the photograph reads: "A fig orchard on our land. The Government will close Its case by noon today and the case will prob ably be given to the Jury tomorrow. John McCourt is attorney for Erick- on and Arthur Geary appears for Rivere. RADIO STATIONS CLOSED Governor Gets Notice That All of Amateur Plants Must Be Sealed.

Colt Acts as Sponsor, Breaking Bottle of Champagne on Bow as Start Is Made on Way Int River. Scores who undertook a trip to Ken ton yesterday to witness the launching of the four-masted auxiliary schooner W. F. Burrows, pioneer of the new type of vessel adopted by Ldbby, Mc Neill & Llbby, were fully rewarded in being spectators at what was admit tedly among the most successful launch ings on the Coast. Few similar events have really taken place without some hitch, either in starting the ship or after she floated. The vessel is the namesake of the president of Ldbby, McNeill & Llbby. No small part in the affair was es sayed by Mrs. C C. Colt, whose hus band is president of the Union Meat Company, she having the distinction of being official sponsor for the Burrows. On the platform. Just before the ship was started. Mrs. Colt was presented with a large bouquet of American Beauty roses, a gift of the builders, the Stafford-Clarkson Company. One quart of real, honest-to-goodness champagne was requisitioned and It was Just 2:30 o'clock when the bottle crashed against the bow of the vessel as she began her elide to the waters of North Portland harbor. As compared with some of the steel carriers building here, the Burrows is not large, but size did not detract from the din that went up as she rode grace fully on the water. An anchor dropped Just after she left the ways served to check her momentum and the steamer Paloma was soon alongside and shifted her back to the yard. In a few days the Burrows will be towed to the Alblna dock so the four masts may be stepped. Her engines. built at San Francisco, and which are being tested there, may be started this way in another week, and it Is said that on their receipt not more than a month will elapse before the Burrows will be ready for delivery. Much of her cabin work and other finishing is under way. The vessel will outfit here and pro ceed to Seattle for cargo, and after the salmon season it is said she will ply between this coast and the Hawaiian Islands, bringing part of the pineapple pack to market. The Burrows will be driven by twin screws, each engine being of 240 horse power. The length on the keel Is 200 feet, beam 45 feet, and depth, moulded, 23 feet. Another on the same lines. though 20 feet longer. Is under way at tne yard for Libby. McNeill & Llbby and will sail In the 1917 fleet. The yard force will now be centered on that ship and another being built for I. T. Williams & Sons, of New York, which is 260 feet on the keel. She will be a full motorshlp, being fitted with two engines of 600 horsepower each. NEW EXGETE PLANT TO RISE Seattle Machine Works Will Build Seml-Dlesel Engines. SEATTLE. Wash., April 11.

Like a traveling congress of nations was the salmon ship Berlin yesterday noon, when she towed away from Portland to spend the season in waters where the salmon schools abound. Filipinos from Uncle Sam s Far East ern possession, men from the land of the Mikado, Norsemen, some Ameri cans and a few representatives here and there of other nations were on the vessel. But missing were any who bow submissively to the banners of the central allies. The ship had her cus tomary store of material and supplies.

HOUSER PLAN GETS SUPPORT Proposal for Building Ships With Home Funds Appeals to Many. When definite announcement is made as to what the Government proposes to do with American tonnage, particularly the new ships planned by the Federal snipping Board, and the degree of co operation that body expects in operat ing tne vessels, a programme recently offered shipping Interests by M. H. Houser to provide Portland-owned ships tnrougn regular subscriptions will be completely worked out. Mr. Houser and others stand ready to go into the campaign vigorously. From many locaUties outside of the city, as well as from manv man h,r have come offers to Mr. Houser to back his plan financially. Among the per manent benefits Mr. Houser expects, aside from work that will be given here In ship construction. Is the establish ment of service to foreign ports that will be dependable, the community not having to call on outsiders to maintain fleets on certain routes. Immediate de velopment is also being figured on In tne way of preparing for service with wooden vessels. CAPTAIN 3IORTON IS HERE Robert Dollar Official to Load Two Japanese Ships.
