The Anti. Scaiping Bill

The fact that an anti-scalpng bill was
killed in the Vermont Legislature a short
time since lends additional interest for
ing bill which Wednesday passed the ma
tonal House in Washington. This measure
passed the House without amendment as
II was reported from the committee on in
terstate commerce, and, as It's friends
claim in accordance WITH the recommend
atior of the Interstate commerce commits
sion.
The bill provides that all ticket agents
must show the proper authority for the
sale of ti;kets; restricts passenger officials
from supplying tickets for sale to other
than authorized agents and provides for
the resale of transferable tickets for per-
sonal use in prosecution of journey;
provides punishment for the railroad Of
fetal or agent or other person who may
violate the act; and compels proper and
safe redemption of whole or partly used
ticket, and provides redress for an ag.
grieved party in case ot the failure to re-
deem. A refusal on the part of a railroad
official to redeem u whole or partly used
ticket is made Il misdemeanor and is pun
ishable with a fine and Imprisonment; and
a similar penalty is attached to the coun-
terfeiting or forging of transportation
tickets.
Great pressure will probably be brought
to bear on the Senate by the friends and
foes of the measure. and owing to the sud-
denncss with which the measure was N
troduced and passed the real struggle over
the bill will undoubtedly take place in the
upper branch of Congress.

Interest on Savings Bank Deposits

One OF the interesting and significant
financial signs Of our times is the, genera
movement sweeping over the country for
a reduction of the rate of interest allowed
by savings banks and trust companies or
deposits. A number OF Vermont financial
institutions have already announced q
change in this direction, and others will
undoubtedly soon follow their example
The Brattleboro Savings bank, for exam
Pile, has reduced its annual rate of divi-
dend on deposits from to 3ia per cent
and It announces that 1t will hereafter
make loans on first class real estate secur-
ity at per cent instead of 6, as hitherto
charged. The Montpelier Savings bank
and Trust company has Issued notice 10
the effect that from and after January l.
1899, interest on deposits in that bank will
be allowed at the rate of per cent per
annum instead of as heretofore.
The Burlington Trust company has de-
cided to pay interest on February l next
at its regular rate of 2 per cent semi
annually, but after that date interest will
be allowed on deposits at the rate OF 3il
per cent per annum. The Burlington Saw
ings bank has already declared its regular
scmi-annual dividends of per cent payable
January /. but no decision has yet been
reached as to future dividends, the rate
of which Will depend upon the earning
capacity of the institutions funds.
These are examples of what is taking
place in all parts of the country. While
some of the savings banks are holding to
their present rate, the great majority ore
making a reduction in the dividend
to be allowed on deposits. Many
of the savings banks in New York are re-
ducing from 4 per cent to 3a and per
cent, and the savings institutions of Mass
achusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois and
other States are making. a similar reluc-
ton. A few days since announcement was
made that owing to the plethora of money
in Milwaukee and the difficulty of securing
good investments the banks in that city
were allowing only PA per cent on de-
posits.
We called attention a few days since 10
the steady decrease in the earning power
Of money being experienced in all parts
Of the country and this movement on the
N''~
part OF savings institutions to reduce the
rate of interest or OF dividends on deposits
is one OF the results of that tendency. In
speaking of this movement in Vermont the
Springfield Republican thinks that the
failure OF the Legislature TO re.
duce the rate of taxation on saw
ings bank deposits has helped along
the project for a reduction In the rate of
interest on savings bank deposits. 1t COM
pares the Vermont rate OF taxation of
seven-tenths Of one per cent on every dol
lar of savings bank deposits and surplus
with the Massachusetts rate of one half
Of one per cent, with exemption of money
loaned on real estate mortgage In tho State,
with two-hfths Of one per cent in Rhode
ISLAND. a net rate Of about one-ffth Of enc
per cent in Connecticut. and no tax at all
In New York. The Vermont savings in
sututons have not been so closely re-
stricted as are their neighbors OF other

William F. Davis is the owner of
a beautiful farm in Chelsea, Vt.
During the summer months he holds
the position Of steward at the Profile
House, Franconia Notch, N. H., and
in winter is steward of the st. James
Hotel, Jacksonville, Florida. He says:
"My wife had severe attack Of rheu-
matte fever. Her feet and ankles were
terribly swollen and she suffered intense
pain. We knew about the merits OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and she concluded
she would try It. The first effect Of the
medicine was to increase her appetite and
she soon had more strength. Then the
swelling in her feet and ankles began to
diminish and the pain gradually left her.
She kept on taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
until she was completely cured. She has
had no symptoms Of rheumatism since.n
