IMPORTANT DECISION.
which VIII Affect the National Bank a
Calais.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 22.-
The Attorney General has given an i'm
portant opinion to the Secretary of the
Treasury in regard to the state bank tax
1t appears that the Calais National Bank,
Calais, Me-, received from depositors
and others and paid out on checks and
otherwise in the ordinary course of bus
mess notes issued by banks of st. Steph-
en-. corporations in New Brunswick, is
suing their own bills and circulating and
paying them out as currency. 1t is stated
these bills are redeemable in gold and
silver, and are in good credit standing as
circulating medium and large quantities
have been put in circulation along the
northern border of the United States.
The question is whether the bank of Cal
ais is liable for tax of 10 per cent on
notes so circulated, under provisions of
the United States law relative to issue of
state banks. The Attorney General has
decided: s'The fact that the notes
were those of bank chartered by for
eign province or state can make no diff
ference, nor does the fact that they are
not redeemable in any way in the United
States. Such notes are equally within
the prohibition intended by Congress by
the legislation referred to-

AUGUSTA, February 22.-The State
House with its decorations and band
playing on the first floor, with the throng
of ladies and their escorts and in general
true holiday air hardly knew itself to-
day. Governor Cleaves's reception was
successful affair notwithstanding the
ceaseless dance of the snow flakes against
the window panes.
Visitors passing through the rotunda
on their way to the Governors rooms on
the second floor walked beneath banners
and streamers of gay colored bunting. "A
banner with the state coat of arms re-
minded them of the uses of the big
building and another with the date 1920
told when Maine became a state. The
national coat of arms was also conspicu-
GUS. The decorations extended through
the long lobby in the second story and
the corridors leading to the Governor s
rooms and council chamber. In these
apartments charming effect was pro-
duced by the light tints used in the
streamers which extended from the CEN
tire of the ceiling to the walls, where, 9TH
er bright colored cloths hung in graceful
folds. Over the doors were hung silk
draperies and everywhere-on; the,

iers-were Jacqueminot and Marechal
roses, their clear white and brilliant vel
low and pink contrasting with the SOM
bre brown of the many fine cones used
among them as the symbol Of the Pine
Tree State. On tables and desks were
heaps of cut flowers, among wreaths of
fern and many rare potted plants. The
effect of the whole was most pleasing.
Capt Geo. E. Brown superintendent the
decorating.
Governor Cleaves, assisted by Presi-
dent Spear and Speaker Savage and the
Governors staff resplendent in their new
uniforms, received tho visitors during
the afternoon in the Governors room.
All the trains from Portland were so far
behind time owing to the storm that on
ly few Portland people attempted to
reach the capital. Mrs. Emerson and
Mrs. Morrill, were among the visitors.
Notwithstanding the storm about 1000
persons paid their respects to the chief
executive. Mrs. Spear and Mrs. Savage
received in the council chamber. Mrs.
John D. Printable was among the Port
land visitors.

The eloquence on the matter ended
here and the House grappled with a par
liamentary problem. When Mr.. Spraene
called the matter up, he made a motion
to indefinitely postpone. This motion
the chair did not hear. Later, Mr.. Hig-
gins of Limerick made the point that the
statement of facts accompanying the re-
solve, did not meet the requirements of
the rules. MI. Higgins accordingly at
tempted to have the resolve tabled and
assigned for consideration NEXT week.
This was voted down. Then the resolve
was passed to be engrossed. After that
