Senate.

Senate.
Secretary Root has sent to the Senate a
reply to its resolution calling for infor-
nation ito ascertain everything concern
ing the North American Trust Company
| and its financial operations in connection
| with the United States government"
The Secretary says the trust company's
relations to the government as fiscal agents
ARE not with the War Department, but
with the Treasury Department through
which the designation of the fiscal agent
was made and the business under such
designation mas been conducted. The only
connection of the War Department there
with has been that whenever the Treasury
Department has honored War Department
acquisitions for the payment of money to
disbursing officers of the army in Cuba, by
depositing the money with the company
such disbursng officers have obtained the
money by drawing their checks upon the
trust company.
The trust company was designated by the
President. July q, 1898. as fiscal agent of
the United States in Santiago &c Cuba. and
January 81, 1899, as fiscal agent for Ha-
vana, and other places in Cuba, both con-
ditioned upon the filing of a bond of $780,.
900. The total amount of moneys of the
United States in the hands of the North
American Trust Company, as such fiscal
agent, drawn from the appropriations for
the War Department, or having any rela-
S1S.622. Under the bonds given by the
fiscal agent to the Treasury Department
the agent Is stated to be entitled to
commission Of one-half of one percent um
upon the moneys received and disbursed
by 1t.
The trust company was designated by
the Secretary of War, April %. 1899, as a
depository for the island revenues, and the
Secretary shows that bonds aggregating S.
900. 900 executed by various companies as
srreties We're furnished by the trust COM
pany.
The Secretary says that March 26 last
order was issued providing for the es-
Establishment of an Independent treasury for
Cuba. and since then the North American
Trust Company has not been used as a
general depository for the island revenues.
Funds remaining on deposit with the
North American Trust Company to the
credit Of the treasurer of Cuba aggregate
S226 6S3.
The trust company also held, on the Goth
of May. 1900. to the credit of various dis
bursting officers of the Island of Cuba at
New York, Havana, MatanZas, Cienfuegos
and Santiago, less such drafts as may have
been made against the same, but not re-
ported on that date. sums remaining from
The deposits to the credit of disbursing Of
f1cers of the Island of Cuba under the for
mer arrangement aggregating $500, 092, and
sums deposited to the credit of such dis
bursting officers under the order of March
%, 1900, aggregating 81, 400, 600.

| DEAR STK-Yo;lr attention i hcr"b,
called 10 the fact that hlrily 30 per cen.
Of The poll taxes dr,r to the parish ha.
| been coll ctcd in the past. Those citizens
who owned property were required t'
pay this ia. OF 81 whcn paying theil
| property tax. Those who did not own
| pr ., yrty, b,ing in must instance IN
! I'm rn i" the parish officials, have
csc !pcd such payment.
lsis believed that This ict,sing Of the
poll tax by nonNpiOpeltv owners has
been due greatly + tiie general ignDr-
ancc ii, to tie reason for the lcyying OF
this tax. II i. not a voting tax rs geu-
crafty believed and therefore a tax
which citizens not registered are justi-
fed in dodg;ng. It is IA educational
tax levied directly upon every llale over
twenty one years If ago, whether he
Owls property or not, whether he IS a
registered voter CT not. 1t is supposed
to be large revenue producer for the
public schools Of each parish. Every
cent collected under this tax is turned
directly into the School Treasury Of the
Parish in which It is collected. liz
lodging this tax, Il citizca is robbing
The children Of the parish iii which he
lives. AS an individual citizen he owes
it to The children Of his parish to assist
in atfordiug them Il free education, |
lie has 4 single child relative or |
not. BY his failure to pay this tax he |
,obs them of its value in the education
they are receiving.
In amcunt such a robiing is small,
1ut III the aggregate it is exceedingly
arge. With tie increasing enrolment
If children in the pubic schools of this
parish and the consequent demand for
more teachers, the strict collection Of
his tax has become Imperative in order
o keep the public schools open and runs
ing properly through the entire school
ear.
Every parish oiicial will note deter,
nined effort this year to collect this tax
nd The cooperation Of the general pub
lc is most earnestly requested.
