Whatever form Attorney = General
Knoxs studies of the Trust question
during the Congressional recess may
eventually take in relation to Congress-
whether shaped into bill to be introd.
uced by the Chairman of the Judiciary
| Committee of the House, or merely
forming the substance of the discussion
of the Trust problem in the Presidents
message, it will be interesting to OBJ
serve the spirit in which Congressional
leaders follow this Cabinet officer in
constructive legislation. One of the OBJ
vious defects of our system of govern
ment is the lack of coordination between
the Cabinet and leaders in Congress.
The Cabinet officers are the Admins
tration, since each is the Presidents
specialist is one branch of the execu-
tive work, and so stands for the Presi-
dent in dealing with Congress. But
unfortunately, Cabinet members pro-
pose while Congress disposes. Whether
the Attorney-General is to have a diff
ferent experience may prove one of the
notable developments Of the coming
winter.
The weakness of the relative position
of the Cabinet officers has long been
notable. Will Secretary Shaw, it may
be asked, for example, recommend the
abolition of the independent Treasury
Will Secretary Root try 10 get through
his general staff bill? Viii Secretary
Hay again urge any reciprocity trea--
ties? Such questions are of little more
than academic interes.. The specialist
in the Cabinet may ask for and recon-
mend and urge to their hearts content,
but Congress will do as it pleases. Ten
| days ago the country was somewhat
surprised by the announcement in a
Western newspaper that Secretary
Shaw was to try to bring about an es-
sential modification Of the Sub-Treasu-
ry system, and for several days news
paper controversy ragged as to whether
this was his purpose. But what of it?
His predecessors have been impressed
with the clumsiness of the existing ma
chinery, but without being able to
stamp that conviction upon Congress.
Secretary Gage has been quoted recent
ly as saying; Il would approve of the
abolishment of the Sub Treasury sys-
tenn, and the substitution of some safe
method in its place for the custody of
the Government moneys. The inde-
pendent Treasury locks up in idleness
an enormous capital in the form of
money which could safely be utilized in
the production of exchange.
Charles S. Fairchild, another ex-Se-
cretary of the Treasury has recently
written: 81 think the Sub Treasury
system is an entirely obsolete thing. It
takes money out Of the channels of
business absolutely. 1t has nothing to
commend it except safety" But ii will
be noticed that neiter of these Secre-
taries ever impressed this view upon
Congress. Nor is Secretary Shaw
likely to do SO is he tries.
Army Bills.
How vigorously Secretary Root will
fight for the bills with which he was
identified last winter is still subject Of
speculation. Gen. Miless retirement

A letter from Sir Clements Mark
ham, president of the Royal Geogra-
phical Society of England, has been pu
blished, declaring that Capt. Otto Sver-
drups expedition was the most sue
cessful yet undertaken for the explo
ration of Greelapd, SURPRISING all that
had been accomplished by Kane, Hayes,
Hall, Greely and Baldwin combined.
He believes it will be productive of the
most valuable results since the time of
Sir John Franklin. The expedition
covered 5000 miles of land, Of which
500 was newly discovered.

bales of cotton.
The local market is now long on eggs
for the first time this year. They are
abundant at 125 to 10 cents, and will
be even cheaper.
Several cases of pneumonia arc re-
ported in Americas at present. The
weather is damp, and conducive to a
spread of lagrippe.
The school teachers of Sumter will
be paid today their salaries for Feb
ruary. The goodly sum of 81 1926 is
awaiting them here.
Those who had deposits in the Peo-
pies Bank are accepting the situation
cheerfully, and are hopeful of getting
their money IN time.
No matter what the fruit prospect
elsewhere, Americas folks will have
plenty of peaches, pears, plums, melons
and berries this year.
Hon, Thomas G.. Hudson, who in all
probability will represent this district
in the state senate, was among his

A DEMAND FOR TARIFF REFORM
Strong Speech On Subject BY Mr..
Lewis of Georgia.

Than Hon. E. B. Lewis, the able
representative from the Third district
of Georgia, there is no stronger advo-
cate of tariff reform in Congress. Mr.
Lewis made very able speech in the
House day or two ago in advocacy
of this important measure, which his
friends in Americus and over the en-
tire district read with much interest
Mr.. Lewis predicted that the tariff
question would be the principal issue
of the near future, as the American
people would rise against such tariff
determinations as enable great trusts
to tax the American consumer and sell
their products abroad at lower rates
than they are sold at home. He con-
tended that the United States has
reached the stage when, in order to
further extend our markets, there
must be liberal reduction in tariffs
upon goods from other nations whose
trade we seek. He said he did not
argue for free trade, but for a Demo
cratic policy OF revenue tariff so ad-
justed as to work no harm to such in
terests as really need incidental pro-
lection, but he protested against inor-
dinate protection of tariff grants,
which have fattened and grown into
great trusts under the operations of
Dingley rates.

SETTLING UP BANKS BUSINESS.
Assignee Fills Will Prepare State,
ment Shortly.

The assignment of the Peoples Bank
of Americus was still the subject of
discussion here yesterday, and the be-
lief was expressed that if given suffi-
cient opportunity Assignee Ellis could
quickly get matters in shape and sue
cessfully wind up the business.
As matter of course, time for this
must be allowed him.
Assignee Ellis publishes this morn
ing a card which is OF interest to
creditors of the bank. He is now using
his best endeavOrs to give them their
money just as soon as possible.
There was report current yester
day to the effect that some other pro-
cess was contemplated, perhaps. Any
other plan, it is believed, would be
detrimental to the interest of all the
creditors. More expense would be IN
Cured, and they will have to pay the
bills.
Mr.. Ellis says that he will render a
full statement as soon possible, and is
now working upon it.
The total amount of notes and &C.
coun is is probably $50, 600, some por-
ton of which is doubtful. Besides
this, in the way of assets, are the
banks fixtures and some realty.
The amount of liabilities, it is said,
is perhaps $50,
Tt is quite likely that if Assignee Ell
lis can realize Immediately upon suf
icient amount of the assets, first div
idend can be paid depositors at no dis
tant day.
The list of these, as filed with the
bill of assignment, was inspected by
numbers of citizens yesterday. The
name of every deposition appears there
together with the amount due him.
The list is a lengthy one, numbering
perhaps 900 depositors altogether.
Quite a large number of these are
colored people, including the office por
ter and the lodge treasurer. The
greater amount of the Indebtedness,
however, Is due white citizens. Only
about $4,000 is due to banks and
bankers
