FOREIGN NOTES TAXABLE.
An Interesting Decision in a National
Bank Case.

Bank Case.
The Attorney General has given an import
ant opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury in
regard TO the state bank note tax. According
to this opinion itappearsthat the Calais National
Bank of Calais, Me-. received from it's depos-
itors and Others and paid out on checks and
otherwise, in the Ordinary course of business,
notes issued by the Bank of St Stephen. a
corporation in the province of New Brunswick,
Canada. issuing It's own bills and circulating
and paying them ont currency. 1t il stated
that these bills are redeemable in gold
and silver, and are in good credit and standing
a circulating medium, and that large
quantities of them get into circulation
along the northern border of the United
States. The question is whether the bank
of Calais is liable for the tax of 10 per
cent on the amount of the notes so circulated.
under the provisions of sections l9and 20 of the
act of February 8, 1915. which provides for a
tax Of 10 per cent on the amount of notes OF
any person. firm. association other than ma
tional banking association, or of any corpora
ton. state bank or state banking association. or
of any town, city or municipal corporation
used for circulation and paid out by a national
bank.
The Attorney General cites the declaration of
the Supreme Court in Hollister agt. Mercantile
Institution Ill u. H.. 62) that lit was no doubt
the purpose OF Congress in imposing this tax
to provide against competition with the estab-
lished national currency for circuls-
tion as money" II the notes deposited
under the circumstances described
had been those of bank of the state of Maine
there could be no doubt that they would be
subject 10 the tax provided by the statute re-
ferred to. In my opinion" the Attorney
General says, ''the fact that the notes were
those of bank chartered by a foreign province
or state can make no difference. nor does the
fact that they are not redeemabie in any way
in the United States. Such notes are equally
within the prohibition intended by Congress by
the legislation referred to-"

Gently introduced a bill making the pansy the

a bill in the House providing that after July 4

represented as follows:
"A young woman OF full stature. with mature
development and proportions, wearing high
laced boots reaching midway between ankle
and knee: hose reaching to the thigh;
short skirts reaching downward to a
point just above the knee: close-fitting
bodice and sleeves to the elbow;

her left hip in place of sword, and lightly
suspended over her right shoulder.
pen with holder extended, and on
her breast instead of shield an American ballot
and national ceremony she shall carry at her
right side the established flag of the United
States
The bill caused considerable amusement
among those who read it, but it was declared
deficient in one respect.
1t was urged that for young woman ''of
mature development and proportions" with
the height Of the bodice not definitely stated.
the simple covering of an American ballot
might not relieve her from adverse criticism
by Mr.. Anthony Comstock.

THE, MATTER OF PENSIONS.
What Senators German and Hawley Hav,
to Say on the Subject.

What Senators German and Hawley Have
to Say on the Subject.
The session of the Senate yesterday was a
protracted one and not until 80 last night
did the body adjourn. Most of the day was
devoted to the discussion of the printing Office
controversy. During the evening a number of
amendments to the bill were adopted. most of
them being for public buildings. In appealing
to Mr.. Hawley not to press an amendment
which he proposed making to increase the ap-
preparation of the Soldiers Home in California
Mr.. German said that as sure as the sun would
rise on the 1st day of July next there would be
a deficiency of from thirteen to fifteen millions;
no man could tell how much.
He, therefore. submitted that it was time to
halt and to say that the matter of pensions
should terminate at some point short of abso-
lutte bankruptcy Of the treasury. He hoped
that the Senator from Connecticut would not
force this additional appropriation when there
was no necessity for it.
Mr.. Hawley declared that he would force it
with all his power. He hoped that the new ad-
ministration would give the whole pension mat
ter thorough inspection. and if there should
be some pension frauds found out he would not
be at all surprised.

NO BONDS TO BE ISSUED,
This Was Settled at the Meeting of tn
Cabinet YESTERDAY.


One of the matters settled at Yesterdays
cabinet meeting is that the present financial
situation does not require any radical action
on the part of the government. and that the
time has not come for the issue of bonds, not
withstanding tomorrow's shipments of 80, ,5OO.-
600 in gold will reduce the amount of free
gold' to 81, ,O00. 900, point regarded as danger
ously near the legal tender reserve. 1t there
fore appears that Secretary Fosters plan for
the issue of gold bonds does not meet with the
approval Of the President and his advisers
The President is credited with the belief that
the demand for gold for export is not only
artificial, but that it is part of scheme inter-
national in its scope, having for its object the
issue of bonds. When it becomes apparent
that no bonds will be issued. his opinion is said
to be that heavy drafts upon the treasury gold
will cease.
1t is said that President Harrison is convinced
that no necessity will arise for the sale of bonds
to maintain the parity Of the two metals. He
has repeatedly declared that he will maintain
that parity by every means in his power.
1t cannot be learned that any alternative
course of action was decided upon by the
cabinet in case the free gold in the treasury
became exhausted. The feeling seemed to be
that the emergency should not be met before it
actually arrived.
