WITHDRAWAL OF BANK CAPITAL TO AVOID TAX
ALTON.

ALTON.
The recent Withdrawals Of banking capitai in
this city hare BEEN very hcary. The decision of
the authorities to tux the banks on their surplus us
we'll as capta, and tho failure of.thc Legislature
to provide any RELIEF, hare been the means Of de-
tcrmining number Of the oanks to Withdraw from
business i large proportion Of their MEANS In &C.
cordance with this resolution the Corn
Exchange has divided among its stockholders
$3.50, 600; the Northwestern National, $3.50, 600;
the Fifth National $3.50, 600, and the Merchants
National $3.50, 600. This makes total of S2,-
400, 600. The injustice and inequality of the
present system are evident upon contrasting tho
taxation Of tho Chicago banks with that OF foreign
corporations doing business here. a Chicago
National Bank with capital Of ST. 500, 600 had to
pay taxes this year Of S2t, 600, while foreign
bank with branch here and controlling IS, O00,-
00oof capital hns to pay but 81, 500 taxes. An
other foreign institution that has capital Of S12
600, 600 pays only SIS, 800 taxes.

three pounds. and providing penalties Of SIS for
the first violation, $40 for the second and not less
than S5 nor more than $50 for. further violation,
and Imprisonment in the Brdewell until payment
Mr. Woodmrn explained that there had never
been ANYTHING to compel the grocer baker to
furnish honest weight for the money. The COM
iuunty demanded it, and looked to the Council

Now. when the fields are catching flower,
And woods aro white with May,
The birds are busy every hour;
Listen to wilat they say:
Sweet love, do not tarry;
Strong love, do not rest.
Ere It's cafe to marry,
We must build our nest
Early and late soft moss he finds,
Sweet grass anti wool he brings;
Early and late she weayes and binds,
And. swiftly working, sings:
- ''Loye makes seeking playing;
Love mikes labor rest;
Crowns our sweet delaying
In perfect nest"
II men and maids such wisdom sl1arco
Before the wedding-lay.
They have little home prepared
Where Love might safely stay.
Learn with prudent carriage
Every hope to guard,
For, though easy marriage,
Housekeeping is hard.
