Financial Outlook
In Portugal Causing
Political Unrest
Lisbon, Auk- 6.?A rate of exchange
alarmingly low and prices of
foodstuffs exorbitantly high have conspired
to make the cost of living in
Portugal a serious problem. And
profiteering as an additional factor
cannot bo overlooked.
Several highly placed state functionaries
have been arrested and jail-1
ed, chnrged with conspiracy and the
holding of secret meetings, which is
an indication of an undeiijing political
unrest. It is felt in some quarters
that a military move ? .t is in
preparation, to net in ease a fresh
outburst of the turbulent eVsuents i
which brought about the poii.i.al as-1
sassinations of last October.
The press is clamoring against the i
economic condition of the country,
and Seculo vehemently c: i. >rts the
government to put an c.'d to the
speculation to which it chiefly attributes
the increasing fall in ex
ehange. The Minister of Finaiu > is
trying to raise an internal loan :.:.d!
has had conferences with several of,
thn rrwwt nrnniiiu-nt PnWnmindn 1 > >1.*
its to this end. His efforts hav* not
so far been successful.
One of the factors said t > contribute
to the situation is that, although
exportation amounts to several
million pounds, all this money
is deposited in foreign banks instead
of being paid out in the country.
At the same time gambling in
exchange is being carried on in a
barefaced manner. In London banks'
alone there is said to be over 25,000,000
Portuguese pounds which
would greatly improve the rate of
exchange if left here. The cons tan*
arrest of officers and civilians and;
the fact of the troops having to
keep within barracks to be ready at
a moment's notice, adds to the general
unrest.
Epoca directs attention to the
statement of the British Premier,
Lloyd George, calling upon the nations
which owe England money to I
pay interest charges in October. This!
debt amounts to over ?5,000.000, j
end the paper asks if the interest!
is to be paid when due.

New Doctrine of I
Naturalization Advanced
By Argentine
Buenos Aires, Aug. 6.?According
to information received from Geneva
by I)r. Juan Carlos Garay, professor
of history in the University of Buenos
Aires, his doctrine regarding natural
ization will he presented for consideration
at the next meeting of the
T eaguc of Nations.
Dr. Garay's doctrine provides that
foreigners with more than five years'
residence and possessing any trade or
I profession would attain citizenship
| automatically, although always re1
tflini*1" ? "? ?' nn+ioiTOlHjr.
The fundamentals of this doctrine
have been included in the recommendations
of a committee report presented
to the Congress of the Italian
1 eague, at present in session in Rome
under the presidency of former Premier
Orlando.
The Argentine Association ProLeague
of Nations has been deeply
interested in bringing the question
before the Geneva assembly. The
president of this association has just
cabled Or. Garay of his success.
International Trade
Proposed on a
Basis of Barter
Buenos Aires, Aug. 5.?The barter
ef Argentine cattle and meat for German
goods is the ba.us of an ad-refert
nduni contract rece ntly signed in
Berlin between Senor Bartolome Dan
< ri. special Argentine commissioner to
(entr.'l Europe, acting on behalf of
the Argentine government, and the
F' uerman Joint. Stock company in
Ku'ebaek, representing a German
syndicate. The terms of the contract
were cabled here to the foreign office
by the Argentine minister in Berlin.
The essential points of the arrange
inent are thaf the Argentine government
supply the syndicate with 50,000
head of cattle and 00.000 tons of beei'
meat per annum. The arrangement:
is to hold good for two years and to
be extended for a like period unless
denounced three months before the
expiry of the first two years.
The purchasing syndicate will not.
pay for the cattle and meat in cash
but in merchand'se which the Argent'ne
government would select and acquire.
The value of the consignments
would he mutually agreed upon on a
gold "Peso" basis.
A mixed Argentine German tribunal
is provided for disputes.

Vast Traffic and Rivar
Control System Planned
For Central S^tes
/
Pittsburg, P Aug, A?Stimulated
by . im]>ertaufct steel intercsts
Pittsburgh and Wheeling districts
nnd by agricultural and commercial
factors in tb.e niiddle/wcst, ihc uiovement
for a waterway to the Gulf of
Mexico is' attracting" the attention of
city governments and civic organizations
along the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers.
Steel companies are sTlbwhig their
practical interest by shipping ns much
as possible of their products in
barges to southern points; farmers
are urging the creation of a trunk
line river system, and city councils are
passing resolutions urging their congressional
representation to support
and government movement the project
may have. Already the councils
cf Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Louisville
Parkersburg and Cairo have taken
action, while resolutions are pending
Vi.fore the Councils of Wheeling, Cincinnati,
Evansville, Memphis, Kansas
City, St. Paul, and Minneapolis.
Chambers of Commerce In Cincinnati,
Pitt bvrgh, Parkersburg, Louisville,
Evansville, Memphis and New Orleans
have passed similar resolutions.
The project is based on plans prepared
by the corps of engineers of
the United States army calling for the
completion of the Ohio river slack
water system which is an open river
below Evansville; deepening the channel
of the Mississippi to six feet between
Minneapolis and St. Louis;
dredging an eight fool channel in the
Mississippi between St. Louis and
Cairo; the maintenance of a nine foot
channel in the Mississinni from ftnivo
to New Orleans, and the opening of
the Missouri to navigation between St.
Louis and Kansas City. These plans
when t arried out, the army engineers
say, would give a 2,000 mile water
highway between Pittsburgh and New
Orleans and one of equal length between
Minneapolis and New Orleans.
Projects for a canal between Lake
Erie and the Ohio River are now beuig
urged from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati
and other points. Congress has
alread" made some provision for surveys
for these waterways and their
proponents are uring speedy derision
| as to the best r ?ute and commenco|
mont of the work.
Coordinate with these river navigaj
tion p oposals are projects for stor!
ing fl >o(l waters to be released in
periods of dry weather, thus affording
protection from tlood damages and assuring
stream navigation in times ol
low w iter. In part, for this purpose
Pennsylvania has permitted the Unit,
cd States government to enter ant
purchase cut-over timberlnnds at tin
headwnrtors of the Allegheny river
one rf the principal feeders of th<
Ohio. The territory thus set aside i;
to hr ..J&aaiv" the Allegheny Na
tional Forest, and will be supervisee
and managed exactly as forest re
serves in the far west. One millioi
acres h ;ve been aiio'ed to this res
ervatlon, of which ab- it -100.000 an
now being taken over by the fedora
government.
Hydro-electric powi r nro'ects in the
Allegheny and Blue Iiid re mountains
! of Pennsylvania, West Virginia ant
j Kentucky, are also under way whicl
| it is anticipated by men experiencee
in rivev navigation and flood control
will do their part toward decreasing
flood risks and assuring full time navigability
of th rivers. One of these
projects is situated < n the Clarioi
' r*iver. :i trihutarv of the Allocations
i in Pennsylvania, an<^ is already undci
coiistrucion. tl proposes to inipounc
all the water of the river in the season
of full banks, and after using it
for generating power, permit it tc
flow out in dry weather nt a giver
, late per day which, it is stated, will
! materially benefit water transpovta
lion down the Allegheny and Ohit
rivers.
During the past year the Ohio rivei
has sen the sudden development of a
heavytonnage of steel products transported
from Pittsburgh and Whce'i,
ing in steel barges, to points alon?
I the Mississippi and Ohio for local use
and for transhipment by rail intc
western and southwestern states. The
Jones & l.aughlin Steel company has
I been regularly sending out a tow of
barges once a month, each transporting
many thousands of tons of its
products at considerable economies in
transportation costs. Other large
producers or steel have been making
use of the Ohio and Mississippi in like
manner.
Incident to the general scheme are
proposals from Ohio river points and
from Chicago and other Illinois cities
for connections to be made between
the great lakes and the river system
of the Mississippi basin. Such connections,
it is staed, would give this
country a system of waerways as
freight carriers which could not he
duplicated in any other country in the
world. Waterways and commercial
associations in Illinois are urging that
a canal (54 miles in length be out between
La Salle and Joliet, which
would connect the canalized Illinois
li.er with the Chicago drainage ennal
and make a direct connection from the
Lakes to th0 Gulf, over which, it is
laimed, great tonnages of freight
consisting of manufactured, agricultural
and raw products would soon be
moving the year around.
The whole scheme, according to
close observers, is a unification of
hipping, agricultural, flood con'ro',
water power and other interests to
procure for this country a system
of water freight ways, flood control
basins, forest preserves and power
producing systems which will result
in big reductions in the casts of transr
| portntidn, "distribution, 'flood* losses. G
and power rates. .*s the national system
of rivers in the Mississippi basin'
r.cw exist#, it is pointed out, there is!
either tod much or too little water in
them, ..according to the season. In
stallatlons which w?H impound the ex- ^
cess water and ease it out when required
will result in making these
streams powerful a gene is for distil ^
buttion of commodities in conjunction
with the national railways and the
national highways, the whole creating p
a vast distribution system. ^

German Social Insurance p
Faces Hard Times j
M
Berlin, Aug. 4.?Medical treatment a<
costs 20 times more in Germany today jii
than it did before the war, declares ir
Dr. Heinrich Brauns, German minis- c<
tor of labor, writing in the current
iiumbrr of Reconstruction. Dr. Brauns li
calls attention to thi3 increase in con- r>]
nection with the critical situation w
which, he says, prevails in Germany's b
: ocial insurance. 01
Although so far the directors of the d
sick funds have been successful in n
maintaining the payment of tlx? ben h
i fits, the funds aro ' approaching their f<
day of fr. ^e." w
Medici-38 cost, on an average, 2b it
times the pre-war figure, while in it
1014 a chargc of three marks was s]
made for a day's hospital treatment. N
which now costs 100 marks.
According to the minister's statis- Ii
tics, 10,000,000 employes are insured
under the German Invalidity Insurance
system and 1,000,000 under the
Private Employes Insurance. ni
The Sickness Insurance grants to ai
workmen, domestic servants, and ni
clerks, whose annual earnings do no: C(
exceed a certain limit, cash payments
and benefits in kind. The funds re- r
sponsible for the payment of these nj
benefits are kept up by the contributions
of the insured persons and of the 0j
employers. w
Accident and Invalidity insurances ^
also are provided. These, however, as a]
well as the sickness insurance, are being
operated today with a great deal
of difficulty and highly unsatisfactory
results, owing largely to the depreci- p
, ation ir. the value of the mark.

mark and on the labor market," the
minister concludes, "as to whether the

License Automobile Drivers 1
; a
The Greenville News.
If some legislator wants to do South
Carolina a real service let him father
a bill to license automobile drivers
I upon their age, character and competer.cy.
The need of such a law has
been well described by the Florida
. Times-Union:
j An automobile is a deadly weapon
j ?deadlier tban a pistol. We have ^
. not he. figures at hand on which to *
1 hasc a comparison but we are con- 1
. fident more people are killed or maim- c
, ed by automobiles than by pistols and 0
. that, without any intention on the part ^
; cf men driving cars. The pistol rarely ^
1 kills except when the man who has it *
intends to kill. The automobile often c
, kills when the man driving it would *
- give his right arm or his right eye if x
i he "'mid call back the damage he has s
, done. *
I The use of automobiles should be
regulated much more rigidly than it is c
, now. It is not enough to prescribe s
. regulations for passing cars or turn- s
. ing corners or to fix speed limits that p
, are l'.ot observed by one driver in 10. s
It is not enough to license cars so as I1
. to know what owner is responsible for
j damage if it is done. It is very fre- ?
. ouently the case that the owner is not 1
: in the car at all. Some other member c
,! of his family and in some eases some ?
i friend is driving it. c
I' cars are licensed and this is proper v
.1 but it is of vastly more importance v
, that their drivers should be licensed.
No one should be permitted to drive a v
. car unless he is licensed to do so. If
t a car is found driven by a man-who is ^
.I not a licensed driver, the driver and
th0 owner should both be fined?the 0
.J on;> for driving without a license and ^
, the other for permitting his car to be
,! driven by one who has not a license. ^
, Of course in speaking of fining the .
i owner and the driver we are speaking
of condition^ that would exist if driv,
ers were licensed. It is not now re;
I quired so anybody who can got posi)
session of a car may drive it, so far as )Y
)' the law is concerned. p
! The driver of a car ought to pass 0
,.n . ..?i - iic
?... i- ,<iiiuiiai/i>/ii <111.1 pive u rerun- p
j rate of character. If he cannot show 31
that hi* is sober and careful he should tl
not have a license. 11 he is convicted G
i of careless driving or if any accident
j happens for which he is wholly or in e,
| part responsible his license should be f(
taken away from him at least for a
time. If it is found that a man ever ja
drove a car while intoxicated his li- p]
! cense should be taken from him for a ]a
drunken man and an automobile is as CJ
dangerous a combination as can be C(
conceived. fe
j The difficulty is not in getting such nJ
a bill introduced, however, but in g *t- rj
[ ting it passed. As The Saluda Stand- ij,
i.rd say* of the biennial sessions bill, te
"rial merit is about the worst blight,
that a piece of proposed legislation
can have in the eyes of those who jj
have milled around in our legislative (1)
halls in recent years." The automo- -CJ
bile license law would have real merit.
It is vitally needed. Anyone who takes
a rido this afternoon will feel the m
need of it. But it would probably *h hi
killed en the ground that it is an in- Ic
fringemcnt of personal liberty. Some tyi
meatheads think the law should permit
infantJT and idiots to drive cars,
but would be horrified to see a cock- m
cd pistol in their hands. wi
