TAXING BANKS. ;


Old Roorback, Kelley, Saxton, Patrick & Co.,
are striving toses who will tell the biggest lies in
justfying the law taxing bankers only upon their
profts-Saxton with an air of triumph, says the
Wooster bank has paid 1922 in taxes to the State.
for the last six months. Let US see how this COR
responds with what she ought to have paid. This
bank has resources upon which sheis drawing in
terest, as follows:
Bills and notes discounted, s456,5z2
Bank stock and corporation bonds, 24,ST
State stock, 5S,l55
Due from banks and bankers, 9,139
t'3 $543, ,737
Deduct deposes upon whichit is bare -
)y possible she pays interest, 3l,9l2
$5lI 1925
Here, then, she has been drawing interest on
over 500 900 dollars, upon which her stockhold-
srs ought to have paid the other individuals,
which for state and county purposes, is about ID
mills on the dollar, and would have amounted. for
the past year, to over $1,000
Deduct what they have paid, 1000
And you lave dead loss to the state. and a
clear gain to the bankers, of near SIX thousand dol
lars, through this one bank! What now becomes
of the assertion that bankers pay as much tax as
other citizens?
Now let us see how the tax law will effect these
bankers. Other citizens are taxed upon all the
money they have IN their pockets or drawers, and
upon all they are drawing interest upon more than
they owe. No one will say it is fair to deduct the
circulation of bank, as what she owes, far she
draws interest upon this circulation, and ought to
be taxed upon 1t, the same as on any money loaned.
Now take what the bank draws interest
upon. as above, $5l 1925

The New York Tribune, in republshing
from the New York Express the statement

arrangement was on, foot by which the Oregon
difficulty was 10 be settled by sacrificing the
tariff, pronounces as absurd the calculation
that The measure would receive thiny-eight
votes in the Senate. The Tribune then goes
on TO say:
But that an arrangement 10 sell out 10 Great

THE WINGS AND THE PRESIDENCY.
A number of idle rumors have recently
been circulated by the New York Herald
in reference TO the course OF the wing mem
bers oil Congress respecting the Presidency.
The assertion has been distinctly made that
the wings in Congress have held caucuses
and resolved nearly unanimously 10 support
Gen. WINFIELD ScoTT for the Presidency in
1913. The editor of The New York Tri-
buae, who has just returned from Washing
ton, denies in toto the truth of these state
mefs. He observes:
"The Wings o! the country have right

at all on Friday evening last-and at the on

presume we might add with entire safety
that there wiU be no meeting of whig mem

MEXICO.

The extract below relative to the difficult
lies OF this Republic, is take from a Vera
Cruz paper:
"Herrera's administration has been over
thrown, not by the people but by the army
the same pretorian bands which elevated
him 10 power, and which also elevated and
overthrow Santa Anna. Indeed there is no
"people" in Mexico in the sense in which
VIC use the term. The inhabitants consist
OF but two classes, Europeans and their de-
scendanis the latter civilized race employ
ed in agriculture, the mechanics arts, in
which they excel, &c. The former are, al
most all of them, either military men or pol
iticlans, the military men greatly preponder-
a,ing-there being, as it is said, something
like twenty thousand officers, or about l Of
ficer for every d or soldiers. The Indians
are slaves not nominally il is true, but really
neve rtheless They do not mix with the
other class, socially and politically, only in

any administration must of necessity be de-
pendent upon the army, and how little pros

upper hand. Herrera saw this evil and wise
