THE STATE BANK TAX. r
Mr.. Bland Says It's Repeal Will In

Representative Bland discredts the re-
port that the caucus on the state bank
question will have the effect of retarding

signers of the request for caucus 1t
has been asserted that if the tax On state
bank issues were once removed the paper
money issued by these banks would be so
abundant that the popular demand for
more silver would end
Mr.. Bland says, on the contrary, that the
repeal OF the state bank tax will increase,
instead of decrease, the demand for silver.
THE state banks will need coin to sup
port their issues" said he, land silver will
be naturally selected as the backing for
state bank currency. The repeal of the
state bank tax will therefore be helpful TO
