Equality Colony, near Puget Sound,
Skagit county, Washington, is the first
move OF the socialists OF this country
at consolidation. At present there are
300 people on the land, all happy and
contented and only too glad to be away
from the hard world of competition.
II you join Equality Colony you can
live for 81 a week and have work all
the year round, except when you are
rich, and then your salary Of $3.50
week goes on Just the same. As they
are now banded together they pass
under the name of the Brotherhood OF
the Cooperative Commonwealth. The
organization was begun about two
years ago, and the first colonists moved
to the land six months later. The ma
ture of the order is indicated by its
name. 1t proposes to begin socialism
by colonizing socialists into one
State, Washington first and prOvld-
ing for their support by means OF
practical cooperation, and as fast as
the socialist vote will admit to take
the reins and drive the government
wagon along the road to the co-opera-
tive commonwealth. When this is ac-
complished, if it ever is, the whole
country will be covered from end to
end with cooperative coloniaS. In its
beginning ten families were selected by
National Secretary N. w Lermond, of
Maine. and sent to the site near Edi-
son, Washington. The colony land
consists of COS acres, owned by the So
cialistic commonwealth, although ev-
cry man, woman and child on the land
is a part owner.

MINERS STRIKE
Two Thousand Men to Come Out About
Evansville indiana.


Evansville, Ind, April 29.-The 1000
coal miners of Southern Indiana are
practically on strike to-day. The six
mines near this city will be closed
down, together with the mines at
Princeton, Jackson, Petersburg, Har-
well, Little, Blackburn, Ayrshire,
Bonneville, Chandler and Tennyson.
Fred Dilcher, member OF the Ma
tional Executive Committee of the
United Mine Workers. said this morn
ing that the striking minerswo be
fed by the State organization, so there
is no fear of restitution. The opera
tors have given out that they are will
ing to close down for six months, as
this is a dull season and some OF the
mines are already being operated at a
loss. The strike grows out of the
claim Of the miners that the operators
have not paid wages according to the
Terra Haute scale.

Special to the Register.
Scio, O., April 29.-The rush and
craze over the oil strike is over, and
operations and business is settling
down to a more substantial basis. The
production of the field stands at over
5000 barrels daily. While town lot
wells have fallen of they are proving
exceptional layers and operators
claim they will pay out. Work all
over the field outside of town is being
pushed fast, and several good wells
are being found inside Of the circle of
busters.
A more substantial class of business
men are now to be found in Scio. Old
buildings are being removed and new
ones are taking their places. New
fronts, with plate glass windows, are
being placed in business houses.
The Daily Oil Exchange has made its
temperance. The w. & l.. E. freight
depot will be enlarged.
The Sun Oil Company is handling
several hundred barrels day. The
United States Oil Company has AZ pro-
ducers, seven wells drilling and num-
Der of locations, and daily produc-
ton of about 1900 barrels. 1t is re-
ported that the Producers pipe line,
in which Jennings Bros. are interested,
is building line here. Jennings Bros.
have daily production Of nearly 1000
barrels. They have been offered ST.
00O, 900 for their holdings by the United
States Oil Company, but they hold them
as worth $1,500,000. Jennings Bros.
have ten strings of tools going and if
the Producers line gets in here they
will be able to fight the Standard and
many operators will use the line. The

LOANS WITHOUT NOTES TAXED
Comm issiOner Wilson of Internal
Revenue Bureau stops hanks
from Avoiding LAW.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Commissioner
Wilson of the internal revenue bureau has
decided that when banks loan money with
out taking promissory notes and specified
collaterals are pledged as security for a
certain and definite sum of money, as evil
denced by entries on the banks loan books,
etc, a tax accrues as a pledge. The ques-
tion came up on case in Philadelphia
When specific loan is desired, the bor-
rover either signs an application for loan
or makes a verbal request for a loan, at
the same time submitting collaterals which
he desires to pledge as security for the
loan Upon approval by the proper official
Of the bank, to whom the borrower has
applied for loan, the paying teller either
gives the borrower a cashiers check for the
amount of the loan the borrowers ac-
count is credited with the amount of the
loan The collaterals which the borrower
has pledged are placed in an envelope, on
the outside of which said colaterals are
listed. The loan in detail is entered on
the loan book of the bank and such other
entries are made on the books as are neces-
sary. This, it is stated, is the general
method pursued by the banks in Philadel-
phia, as well as by the banks in New York
and elsewhere.
In some instances no application for
loan is signed, and the collaterals are not
listed on the outside OF the envelope in
| which they are placed, but in all cases the
| collaterals pledged for any loan are either
| listed in detail on the outside Of the en-
velope In which they are placed or on the
| loan book of the bank making the loan,
but in no instance is a promissory note
used
| In letter to the revenue agent at Phila-
| delphia. Commissioner Wilson says:
"You are advised that In determining
whether there are any taxable features in the
manner OF making loans as herein de-
| scribed the continuing agreement should
not be considered as 1t does not refer to
any single transaction between the bank
and the borrower, but merely defines the
relative rights OF the bank and the bor-
| rover. II is not pledge and is, there
fore, not subject to taxation as such, nor
does 1t embody a power OF attorney.
| Under the paragraph OF schedule A be-
ginning with the words mortgage or pledge
a tax Is imposed on any pledge OF personal
property where same shall be made as a
security for the payment Of any definite
and certain sum Of money lent at the time.
and this office holds that when certain col
laterals, as evidence by the endorsement
on envelopes hereinbefore referred to. or
by the entries on the loan book OF the bank,
or both, are pledged by the borrower to Sc
cure any definite sum OF money, this pledge
Ia subject to taxation under the paragraph
of schedule A above referred to, at the
rate of 25 cents for each $500 or fraction
thereof In excess Of $1,000 OF the amount
secured"
