peal of the 10 Per Cent. State Bank
TAX Were all Democrats--Many
Democrats Voted Against It.
WASHINGTON, June 6 AFTER dispos
ing tavorably of the New York and
New Jersey bridge bill and also a bill
Tor a bridge across the Monongahela
river, the House proceeded to the con
~sIderatlon of the bill to repeal the State
bank tax, under the arranRment
agreed to yesterday.
Mr.. Turner, Democrat, of Georgia,
spoke In favor of repeal. He contrasted
favorably to the first, the availability
n desirability of State bank and ma
tlonal bank issues of currency. What
was more vital to the best interests of
the country, In his opinion, however,
was the passage of the tariff bill, and
he pictured a hand impatient to put in
motion the machinery that would pro
duce an era of prosperity in the coun-
try.
Mr.. MeikeliohD, Republican, of Ne
-0raska, speaking of the probable con-
dlt1ons under which State bank issues
would be made in case the system we're
rehabllitated, called attention to a bank
law passed by the Georgia Legislature
last December in expectation of the RI
peal of the State bank tax. That law,
he said, authorized a bank with one
quarter of it's capital in national bonds,
n quarter in State, county or munich
pal bonds first, and one-half currency,
to issue, upon the deposit of the bonds
with the State Treasurer, notes to the
amount of three times the security.
The subject was further discussed by
Messrs. Bingham, Republican, of Penn
sylv ania Hale, Democrat, of Missouri;
Robinson, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vanla, and Cochran, Democrat, of New
York. The latter denounced the ma
tional bank currency az the worst that
could be conceived, and ought not to
be allowed to stand. But as long as it
did exist, Mr.. Cochran said, he did not
believe in attempting to make a tribu-
try system. Believing in the platforms
demand for a repeal of the State bank
tax, he did not believe in doing so hap
hazard. Present conditions would have
to be changed before it could be done
safely.
