(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dec. T.—(Special Tele- gram.)—At the meeting of the Corn Belt Meat Producers' assoclation, President Sykes delivered an address in which he re- viewed the work of the association with spectal reference to the effort to secure a rendjustment of etock futes from lowa poifits to Chicago.

KANSAS _CITY, Dec. 1.—This portion of the southwest {8 today in the grip of the | most severe cold wave of the season, with temperature ranging from § degrees above zero at Oklahoma city to 4 below at Con- |cordla and Dodge City, Kan. Clear weather prevalled over all of Kan- sas, Oklahoma, Southern Nebraska, North- weptern Migrouri ond the Texas Panhandle today, following the hedvy snow storm of yesterday and last night, but with the cesgation of the snow fall, temperatures fell sharply. Snow continued to fall today In south- | western and central Missouri. Railroad traffie, which yesterday and last night was Hemoralized, was much Im- proved west and southwest of Kansas City today, but train service southeast and east was still hampered. The following temperatures were reported at 8 o'clock this morning: Kansas City 3 degress above zero; To- peka 1 above; Dodge City 4 below; Okla- homa City 8 above; Amahola 2 above. DENVER.

Railroads are having Qifficulty in moving trains and telegraph and telephone wires are dowh at soms vlaces. The Missourl river was blocked here this | morning, caused by ice jams. ECONOMY IS THE KEYNOIE| (Continued from First Page.) per cent. He advises continuance of the | rate of 1% per cent for circulation bas:d on 2 per cent honds. Mr. VacVeagh says | that if the Panama bonds authorized by | the law of August 5, 1900, should be lssued | at 3 per cent, they would have a much better cireulation privilege than the out- | standing 2 per cents, the tax being only 1 per cent. Mr. MacVeagh would make the tax on them 1% per cent; otherwise the already low market value of the 2 per cents would unduly decline, At the same time, Mr. MacVeagh says it is; desirable to complete the legislation re- specting the new Panama bonds te make them avallable so as to begin the settle- | ment of the Indebtedness to the general fund of the treasury of the Panama canal. He suggests that if the sale of any of those bonds should produce more cash than the treasury balance needs, some of the 2 per cents might be bought in the market for the sinking the market price of the latter class above |par. Declaring that the governmaent has not, arl never had, a 2 per cent bor- rowing power, Mr. MacVeagh says It pos- 8/bly would have been better never to have issued 2 per cent bends or bonds at any rate below the government's berrowing | power in the open market. He says that as a basis for ciroulation they have ne elasticity; that they are practically all held by the banks as a basis of cireulation; and that the banks would sufter so heavy a loss in an attempt to dispose of them that the influence of the situation is conse- quently decidedly against the retirement of circulation The igsuance of 3 per cent bonds at 1%, says Mr. MacVeagh, would not change In any way the net interest result of its trans- actions with the banks. Then again it would provide bonds which investors would want and which would have & broad and wholesome merket alding materially In in- creasing the elaspicity of the currency. Shake Up In Cuws tee, Secretary MacVeagh, discussing the re- habilitation of the customs service in prog- ress as a result of the extenstive frauds ais ed at the port of New York says: “It is clear that the influence of local politics and politicians upon the custom service, has been most deleterious, and ha promoted that laxity and low teme which | prepare and furnish an invitipg soll for | dishonesty and fraud. Unless the customs service can be rel ed from the payment of political debts and exactions, it will be impossible to have an honest service for any length of time. He says that the work or reorsanization | is “not complete, not neerly complete,” | but predicts that the necessary prosecu- tions being made “will lead in the end to the estab.isbment of an administration of the customs service that is fit for the government of & jgreat nation. While purposely avoiding, as he says, expression of & preference for any par- ticular, plan or systém, Mr MacVeéagh Regular $15.00 and $16.50 coats, Regular $17.50 and $18.50 coats, Regular $19.50 and $22.50 coats, Regular $25.00 and $27.50 coats, Regular $29.50 and $35.00 coats, Regular $40.00 and $50.00 coats, on sale on sale on sale at on sale at . on sale at at -$10.00 .$12.50 ..$15.00 .$19.50 25.00 29.50 | was used nd, thus kswlnll on sale, at .... muffs and collars in all furs.

New Corporation Tax. Mr. MacVeagh's only reference to the new corporation tax Is a paragraph de- signed to clear up the question as to what form of return would be adopted. He says {t must be assumed by the department that the sing.e purpose of the law was to tax at 1 per cent the actual net profits of a corporation, as net| profits are under- stood, and that the term “net income’ that there might be no con- fusion. The Improved conditions in bank ex- amination by the office of the comptroller of the currency are noted In the report, but no recommendations are made along this line, Mr. MacVeagh urges the need of a con- tingent fund—probably $100,00—for his de- partment. Touching briefly on the sublect of bank- ing and currency reform, Secretary Mac- Veagh beginning of & permanent system.” At present we have neither an adjustable currency nor trustworthy surplus reserves, two absolutely eesential features of any banking system upon which the finances and the commerce of this great nation can secure rest. To secure these essentials— to speak of no others—the looked for re- form must dea! with fundamentals.
