Platte valley Bank Robbery.

Our readers will recollect that some
weeks ago we noticed the robbery of the
Platte Valley Bank at Nebraska City
loss about SO 5000. Sufficient evidence
appears to have been obtained to warrant
the arrest of N. H. Harding, Esq,
Cashier Of the Bank, who on a trial be-
fore Justice Abbee was held to bail in
the sum of $4,000. Mr.. H.. has been in
the Bank for several years, first as teller
and late as cashier, always we believe
enjoying the confidence of directors and
stockholders. We forbear any comments
until after a full investigation is had.
Mr.. Garside, the former cashier,
again fills that position.
Some persons, either from Ignorance
or evil disposition towards the Bank,
have been ~endeavoring to create unfavor-
able impressions in regard to the Platte
Valley Bank, in connection with this I'M
lOILuUdlC dldlIs NhClO Ss4 ANuOhHAAS
and others connected with the Bank are
known, such efforts will prove ~unavailing,
and if those who are not posted desire
to test the Bank, "let 'em go ms and try
her. A bank that has gone safely thrO'
the financial crisis of late, never in a
single instance failing to make satisfacto-
~ provisions for every demand, is not to
be injured by the stealing of a few thou
sand dollars, or the opposition and preju-
dicial reports Of few jealous enemies.
If any body has "Platte Valley they
wish to get rid of, we take such at this
Office for subscription and job work at
par, and 10 per cent premium on old
debts; and we further would like very
much to take it IN exchange for good
property in this place and other parts of
the Territory. Platte Valley is just as
good money as we want-have but one
obiection-it is too scarce and difficult to
get hold of.

DAILY Line OfROats.

The Daily Line of Packets from St.
Louis, put on to run in opposition to the
Hannibal and ST. Joseph Rail Road and
Line of Packets, has drawn off, finding il
'hard to kick against the pricks." We
in this upper country would very much
like a Daily Line of Boats. and feel quite
sure the Rail Road Line will advance to
a daily just as soon as it viii pay, which
viii not be longer than next seasons but
we never were for a moment deceived
with the idea that the recent move could
prove successful. The present Packets
are well differed, and prepared, and do,
In connection with transient boats, accom-.
mediate the travelling public, and ought

ence. to experimenters. We are glad to
know such is the decision of the public.

Uniform Rate of Interest.

We are gratifed to see that the present e1,
orbitant and unequal rates OF interest establish
ed by law is SO early engaging the attention Of
the General Assembly. In the House on the
9th the bill of Mr.. Hubbell, Of Delaware, re-
pealing the ten per cent. law, and establishing
seven per cent. as an uniform rate Of interest,
was to come up as special order. The State
Journal appositely remarks:
This is a movement in the right direction.-
The establishment of so nigh a standard as ten
per cent, by legal enactment, has operated dis
astrously to all the business interests Of the
State-and to the exclusive benefit of the mon
ey-lenders, who have absorbed more than their
fair share of the profits growing ont of legiti-
mate trade and enterprise

during the past year has kept pace with the
General retrenchment of individual expenses,
as is shown in diminution in the General City
Tax and in Local Taxation amounting IN the
aggregate to the large sum Of S235,36O 80,
and in Local Taxation alone, to 1921, 1926 OS
The total amount of taxation, incluIling the
county taxes, has been materially diminished;
the total amount of reduction compared with
1857 being s2ls,l2O SO. When will Cleve-
land show such gratifying record p! The eX-
ample of Buffalo should be borne in mind by
CITY Fathers, especially when all classes OF
citizens, save ofiee-hoders, feel the depressing
influence of hard times-when the strong arm
of industry is partially paralyzed' and the lie

The above facts are derived from the recent
message of Mayor Lockwood, from which We
also note some other Buffalo items Of interest

Ohio YnIIer Bank.

The stockholders of the Ohio Valley Bank
at meeting in Cincinnati on the Sd, elected as
Directors, Messrs. V. Winters, Fl. Massie, H B.
Hurlbut, W. ". Scarborough, and S. b Burton,
The Gazette says sit was decided to increase
the capital from 100000 to S50O,0OO."
We understand the proposed increase of cap
ital will depend upon the legislation of the pres,
ent session in regard to Bank taxation Should
provision be made to tax Banks as other property
is taxed, the capital of the Ohio Valley Bank
will be brought up to half million, and an in
crease of the capital of the Bank of Commerce
of this city, is also contemplated. More Bank
capital is greatly needed here, and with just
taxation we should have it.
