Three of Them Planned Within the Next Year. v/ Washington, Aug. 17.?Tentative plans of the treasury provide for three big liberty loan campaigns within the next year, each to raise $5,000,000,000 or more, it was learned today. The-first will be from September 28 to October 19, it has been announced, the second is planned for January or February, and the third in May or June. This programme will be necessary, it is explained, to provide the $16,000,000,000 which officials estimate will be j * ^ a ? ttt /> v* /vrvAro ti Ano 1 required to uuauuc *>ai ut/cianuuo i during the year, in addition to the; $8,000,000,000 which may be provided by the new revenue bill now being drafted. If government expenses and loans to Allies fall much below the $24,-: 000,000,000 estimate the government; is expected to try to combine two' loans into one, being the largest; credit ever sought by any nation. | Such a campaign would be set for j some time in the late winter. Money needs between loan periods j will be financed by the sale of short term certificates of indebtedness as i in the past. In addition, the treas-j ury looks for a steady inflow of! money from tax certificates, which j banks and corporations probably will buy in billion dollar quantities as a 0 t I NEGROES; TO THEIR PREJUDICES. age 2, column 1.) ide to oust Miller, the presig the Blease administration. a at the. conclusion of Mr. notlier laudatory speech in efforts of Mr. Blease at the * and Johnstone and Schummented Pope were the giants " These had dwindled into gmies" in comparison with ? was elevated to the goverThe president of the school fr.

What is s, chaingangs and the church the people were righteous, 3r prisons, for the leaders of to err. means of virtually paying their taxes in advance. Every effort will be made by the treasury to make the number of loans as few, and the time of financial rest between the campaigns as long as possible. Officials would much rather have only one more big solicitation in addition to the fourth campaign to start late next month, than two before the end of the fiscal year next June 30. One particular reason in which the treasury wishes to avoid floating pop ular loans is the Christmas holidays and the first weeks of comparative commercial activity when there is danger also of curtailed industrial activity on account of bad weather. Another bad time for loans is the spring planting season, when farmers are busy and business men have less time than usual to devote to campaigning. The third period to be avoided is June, when huge war taxes will have to be paid. No plans for future liberty loans can be formulated definitely, any weeks in advance, owing to the uncertainty of the volume of government expenditures. Consequently the program now in the minds of treasury officials is highly tentative. An example of the fluctuations of I expenditures is the fact that with August, more than half gone, the Allies have called for only $71,000,000 loan payments, a little more than one-third the usual rate of borrowing.
