mended a reduction of so per cent. and
asked why such a reduction had been
suggested. Gov. Taft replied:
Il am bound to say that at present
our principal reason for asking a re-
duction is sentimental. The effect of
reduction of so or even IS per cent. on
Philippine imports into the United
States would not be great for the next

SECRETARY sH,w's PRECEDENT.
The Mixing of state and Municipal
Bonds With Government Securities

In his latest interpretation OF the and
otherwise clause in the rational bank
ing law. Secretary Shaw has upset the
traditions of the treasury department
and established a precedent, but with
out any violent shock TO the GRAMMAR
ans, we opine. His INTERPRETATION APP
pears to be n sort of grammatical COM
promise.
The Commercial has ilready called
attention to the uniformity with which
preceding secretaries nf the treasury
have interpreted the following proVi-
sions In section 5153 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States:
All national banking associations
designated for that purpose by the sec
rotary of the treasury. shall be deposit
tories OF public moneys except receipts
from customs. The secretary OF
the treasury shall require the associa-
tons thus designated TO Civ satisfac-
tory security by the deposit of United
States bonds and otherwise for the safe
keeping and prompt payment OF the
public money deposited with tmem."
All previous secretaries of the treas
ury have, we believe, construct the two
words land otherwise 10 refer to the
personal bonds Of the Jank officers,
usually required in addition to the gov
rnmen bonds deposited a. security.
And in this connection, as always,
implies something added: n il was
undoubtedly the intention of the franz
ers of the law to require some security
in addition to the United States bonds,
although not of necessity marketable
securities. Had the intention been to
permit the depositing of any bonds other
han United States issues as security for
the treasury funds, the state would
have been made to read: by the de-
post of United States bonds or other
wise" That, presumably, would have
left to the discretion Of the secretary
the acceptance or rejection of any form
Of security offered.
Secretary shaw splits the difference
between those construct DnistS who hold
that land" is interchangeable with or
in this connection and those who taxi
the passage to mean thar the secretary
must insist on some security in addi-
ton to the full amount of government
bonds required. He will ac. ept part
government and part other n as
security for government sits-but
in no instance all bonds other thar gov
eminent issues. The language of the
statute is certainly susceptible Of such
an Interpretation. Still, the secretary
holds the Interpretation Of his predeces-
cors in or particular. He will not
make an original deposit with a bank
unless the security is wholly in govern
ment bonds. That is, banks not al
ready de~positaries can become such
only by following the old ruling. The
mixing of state and municipal bonds
with governments is permissible only TO
banks that are already designated de-
positaries." with the government bonds
in the hands Of the secretary.
Whether or not this lew interpreta-
ton will some day come back TO plague
the treasury department remains to be
seen.-New York Commercial.

Soft coal at nine dollars a ton and
