CAPITAL, SURPLUS, UNDIVIDED
PROFITS AND BORROWED
MONEY LIABLE
RATHER SWEEPING DECISION
Commissioners of Internal Revenue
Interprets the Law to Apply
to All Money Used in
the Business
RULE rs SHARP AND CLEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has rendered
e decision in which he holds that bank
ers must return for taxation capital, sur
plus, undivided profits and borrowed
money used in the business Of banking.
The commissioner holds that capital is
taxable, whether invested, as in the case
of the United States bonds or the bank
building, or circulating, as in the case
of money, including money borrowed;
also surplus, including undivided profits.
I'm providing that surplus shall be In
cluded as capital" the decision says, 1T
is obviously the purpose of the law to
have the tax imposed apply to all money
used or employed by banks, as capital,
in carrying on their business.
Money borrowed by banks, and used
as capital, is held to be taxable, and it
is clearly no less liable to tax because
of the fact that it is borrowed by bank
from its own undivided profits.
1.-The fact that surplus SO used consists
wholly or in part of undivided profits, or
that such undivided profits have or have
not been formally set apart for such use,
seems wholly immaterial, so far as the
purpose of the act is concerned. 1t is
the use, and not the authority to use,
that brings such profits within the tax
ing provisions of the act.
Banks should. therefore, return for
taxation the capital. the surplus fund.
their undivided profits or other profit and
loss account, except so much thereof as
may be actually necessary and has been
set apagt to meet aScertained liabilities
and losses, or to pay dividends actually
declared by the directors of the bank, to
pay taxes, or to-, pay fixed annual
charges, such as salaries and other nee
cSsary annual expenses.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-James j. Hill
contemplates retiring from the presi-
dency of TIE Great Northern railway.
He has said this much to his friends,
adding that, with the two great rail-
ways of the Northwest brought together
under his control, he is at last ready to
be relieved of some of the multitudinous
duties he has carNed so long. Mr.. ET.ll
does not intend to take respite from
work and responsibilities. or from active
direction of the policies of the North
western railways; but he does not care
to be longer tied down by TIE minutiae of
the work attendant on the Great North
ern presidency. and he is now ready to
surrender his Office. 1t is expected that
it will go to his eldest son, James N.
Fell, who has long been trained for ulti-
mately taking up this Office, and who was
made first vice president of the Great
Northern within the last week. to sue
ceed Col. Clough, one Of the oldest off,
GERS in Mr.. Hills service.
AS president of the Great Northern
railway James N. Hill will be the young
est president of great railway in this
country; but his father has great faith
in his ability. He will, of course, have
his fathers advice and the support of
capable officers, while the general policy
VI tHO NOiuPdHJ, dSS Ac1i uo LiiC 4NOi thCIl
Pacific is concerned, will be decided by
the Northern Securities company, and of
this James J. Hill win continue as presi-
dent and as the guiding spirit. He has
no intention of giving UP the di-
rection of the policies of his rail-
ways, but he does want to be relieved
from the close personal attention to de-
tails imposed on a railway president.
Mr.. Hill is not likely to retire from the
Great Northern railway directorate, and
the resignation from the presidency is
not related to the recent agitation in the
Northwest over the railway consolida-
ton In that section. He proposes to re-
sign from the Northern Pacific board
because Of doubts raised as to his legal
status on the board.
This decision to give up the Great
Northern presidency is coupled with an
intention to practically take up his res
idence in this city. Mr.. Hill is not likely
to give up his legaleresidence in St. Paul,
hut will virtusils sz5eild the greater part
of the year in New York, and he pro-
poses to have his family arrangements
ordered. in recognition that this change

New Bishop.

KANSAS CITY, Dec 4-Dr. Cameron

identified with the Episcopal church in
this city was today consecrated bishop of
the missionary district OF North Dakota
at Grace Episcopal church, amid elabor-
ate ceremonies. After the rendition of the

mon was preached by the Right Rev.

ONLY A DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
CAN CHANGE THE PARTY
PLATFORM
RIGHTS OF THE SECTIONS
Southern and western Men Must Re-
ceive the Consideration De-
manded by Representa-
tives OF the East
RESOLUTIONS ARE DANGEROUS

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Dec. 4.-Naticnal
Democratic Committeeman Norman =.
Mack, OF New York, said today with
reference to the Mcclellan and Fitzgerald
resolutions that the Democratic national
platform of 1900 would stand until new
one was made. He said nothing but
harm and disruption to the party could
come from any attempt to change it until
it is done by the representatives of all
Democrats in the national convention of
1904, for unless the Democrats of the LAST
ern states stand by the last declaration
of the party, dominated by the Southern
and Western states, there would be no
good reason why the South and West
should abide by the national platform
dominated by the Eastern states in 1884,
If they should succeed in controlling AMI
dominating the convention.
1.-The fact of the matter is,'' he said,
that the Democratic party cannot alter
their national platform every minh.e. If
they do not stand by the present one for
four years, what assurance will the peo-
pie have that they will stand by the next
one for four years; and I don't mean by
this that the 1904 convention would not be
conducted on entirely different issues
than that of 1900''

COLOR LINE IN LABOR
PROSPECT OF A DISAGREEABLE
FIGHT IN CONVENTION At
SCRANTON
MAY sIDETRAcK GOOD LAWS
Southern Assemblies Have Anti-Ne-
gro Provisions in Constitutions,
but COlored Workers
Ignore Them.

SCRANTON, Penn, Dec. 4.-Tonight
the hotel corridors, especially that of the
Jermyn, WheTJ the headquarters is To-
Gated, are crowded with delegates from
all over the United States and Canada,
campaigning for and against the various
measures that are scheduled to come up
In the convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, which will open tomor-
row. The Pacific coast delegation, head
ed by John T. Morgan, of Portland is
fighting for the enactment of the Chinese
exclusion law, with amendments to make
it's provisions apply to all Mongolians,
and its operation unlimited as to years.
Delegates from the shipbuilding trades
are making a vigorous campaign for a
demand from the federation that the gov.
ernment build its own ships and not let
out the contracts to private parties, who
pay less wages and exact more labor than
does the government.
Almost every delegate is taking an ac-
tive interest in the trades autonomy
matter and of all the subjects billed for
discussion it promises to provoke the
most talking.
Color Line May Cause Trouble.
The color line will also be the subject
of what promises to be an animated dis
cussion. It win be brought before the
convention in the shape of a protest
against the seating of William e. Seal,
delegate of the Central Trades and La
bor Council of Richmond, Va. The
American Federation of Labor specifical-
ly provides in it's constitution that the
color line is not to be drawn by organ
ization holding a feAeration charter. The
Richmond Trades and Labor council has
a clause in it's constitution specifying
that the delegate of the council must
hn q les
one years of age.''
In Richmond are two locals of the
Tobacco Workers union, composed ex-
clusively of negroes. Being barred from
representation in the Richmond council
they federated directly with the Virginia
state union. and thus attained member
ship IN the American Federation of La
bor They are also members of the Tobac-
co Workers international union.

RAPID RISE IN EXCHANGE
MEXICO MAY SOON Go TO THE
GOLD BASIS
Downward Tendency of Silver Seems
to BE Continuing, and 81 High
Premium for Exchange
Is DiscOuraging.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1.-THE rapid rise
in exchange as shown by the gold
premium is the theme Of discussion in
financial and business circles. Some
bankers regard the depression in silver
as temporary and hope for a speedy re.
action but there is a constant downward
tendency and the expression of the belief
that eventually Mexico will have to come
on a gold basis is common.
New York exchange stands at 132

porters and several heavy orders about
to be sent to the United States have been
held back pending more settled state of
exchange.
On the other hand, the low price for
silver is very favorable to American cap
italists buying property here.
President Roosevelt S message has been
very favorably received in government
and business circles. The general COM
ment is that his declaration in favor of
Cuban independence and a free trade
policy with the island, will greatly
strengthen American prestige all over

armed the Clerical press of one of it's
principal arguments against the Was ming
