BANKERS UP IN ARMS.
Claimed That the New Indiana Law VIII
Ruin Thorn.

Rain Them.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15.-The bankers
of Indiana have announced their deter
mination to fight the proposed effort of
the state board of tax commissioners to
compel them to expose the accounts Of
their depositors. One banker said
"a merchant may have u large bal
ance on deposit and he may have given
his check for two-thirds of the amount;
but as we have not received the check
he is credited with the full balance, and
upon this they propose to tax him. He
may purchase n negotiable certificate Of
deposit, assign the next day, but it may
not reach us for month, but still our
books will show that man credited with
the certificates. Bankers are justified
in resisting the law
AS the officers of all the 351 banks in
Indiana nave been cited to appear be-
fore the board and show their deposits,
it is probable that test case will be
made up at once and decided as soon as
possible. 1t is claimed by the bankers
that this feature of the tax law is in
conflict with the national banking act,
and furthermore that compliance with
1t would ruin the banking business of
Indiana. In answer to question as to
how it would do this it was replied
because just before the first day of
April, all depositors who are now in the
habit of undertaking their deposits, or
not giving them in at all, Will draw out
frkm the banks and cancel the money.
1t will practically compel the banks to
call in their loans and go into liquida-
ton once u year and that would paralyze

While number of the leading European
governments have recently adopted the 50
called colonial policy as a means both of
increasing their national trade and of pro-
viding an outlet for their people, expert
ences which have recently been brought to
light in France would indicate that a
colonial policy may be an exceedingly ex.
pensive luxury for nation to adopt.
In a recent debate in the chamber of
deputies on the government of the colony
of ALGERIA the calculation was made from
official reports that in the last forty years
that colony had cost France, over and
above the income received therefrom, quite
$500 900, 900, and what is more, the annual
costs at the present time are even larger
than in previous years.
1t might be said that these large outgoes
were no more than France was justified in
sending for the purpose of providing a de.
sirabe outlet for her people; but, although
Algeria is remarkably fertile country and
offers many opportunities, it docs not
seem to attract the French colonists. The
total population of French origin is only
100000, while there are an equal number of
white people not of French nationality.
These latter have, by the local laws, ex-
emption from taxation granted them that
the French colonist is not accorded, and,
what is more, the rate of taxation upon
the 100000 or more natives Is several
times greater than upon the French col
onist or foreign resident.
The French will not settle In Algeria as
colonists, although large numbers visit the
country each year as tourists, which would
seem to prove that unless a nation has an
aptitude for colonization-and this was no
doubt what the French possessed six or
eight generations ago when they settled
Canada-it is useless fori to spend money
and exhaust an effort in acquiring and at
tempting to develop the waste places on
