ERAL COMPTROLLER.

CIPALLY PEOPLE IN MEDIUM
CIRCUMSTANCES.

Kansas City, July 21.-The City Ma
tfonal bank failed to open it's doors
during the day. The bank held paper
of G. J. Devlin of Topeka to the
amount of upwards of 100000 and
the failure is the direct result of the
closing of the First National bank Of
Topeka, of which Mr. Devlin was the
principal stakeholder.
Some time ago the comptroller Of
the currency at Washington instructed
the officers of the City National bank
to repair it's capital. This was done
by borrowing from a small local cap
italist Following the failure of the
First National bank at Topeka the
Kansas City capitalist became insist
ent on repayment Of his loan and this
demand caused the officers of the City
National bank to decide on closing
their Institution.
The only other bank in Kansas City
which was caught in the failure of the
First National bank of Topeka was
the American National bank, which is
said to hold upwards of 100000 DeVlin
paper. II was stated positively to the
Associated Press by leading banker
that the other Kansas City institu-
tons would not permit this bank to
fail
The City National bank was organ
lied. in 1900 and is one Of the youngest
of the national banking institutions in
the city. It's capital is 100000 and it
has deposits of $1,476,648
The majority Of the banks depos-
itors are persons in medium circum-
stances, two-fhirds of whom live out

Lawson In the West.
Thomas W. Lawson Of Boston began
his speech campaign at Ottawa, Kan,
July s, and after two days his voice
gave out, but, with rest and treatment,
his tour was resumed, and he was able
to make himself heard. He proposed
that the people should apply the sys-
TENS method to the system, first, by
divorcing themselves from the system
and selling their shares of stocks and
bonds to the v0taries of high finance at
the present high prices. The money
thus realized is to be placed in banks
Or trust companies or in state or mu-
nicipal bonds. This, he thought, would
force the system to throw over it's Sc
curities, which could then be purchased
at their real values, with the result Of
reducing the rate Of freight and pas
senger rates generally. At st. Paul
he admitted that he had several mil
lions which he has got unfairly, and
he proposes to give it back at the
proper time.

SOCIOLOGICAL
Jerome's Defense Of Trusts.

The trust hunting public of Kansas
received some unexpected advice from
New York's fighting district attorney,
William T. jerome, in his recent adj
dress at the Ottawa Chautauqua. He
told them that Wall street had legiti-
mate functions and that when they
struck blow at the financial inter
selves. He added that all this talk
about trusts is mostly nonsense and
declared ''that nothing In this country
has ever been touched by trust that
has not grown and improved" He
asked if the men at the crossroads
had done, and said further: ''This is
business and business Is war. This is
commerce and this is competition. 1t
Is war and strife. / do not say that
this is moral. It is immoral. Don't
tell me that if the men at the cross
roads had more power they would not
use it to their own advantage or that
they would use 1t any more gently
than Rockefeller uses it," Finally Mr.
Jerome said that the side upon which
the trusts were wrong and upon which
they should be checked was that they
debauch our public life by buying
legislatures, judges and administrative
officers.
Rockefeller Versus TarbelI.
Virgil P. Kline Of Cleveland, the we'll
90 4ho Oil
company, gave to the press a state
ment, last week, taking issue with one
part of Miss Tarbells sketch of John
D. Rockefeller in the July McClures.
He charges that the account Of the
legal controversy between Mr.. Rookie
Teller and one Of his debtors, Mr.. Cor
rigan of Cleveland, is partial and mis-
leading. Miss Tarbells account makes
it clear that Mr.. Rockefeller deliber-
ately loaned his friend money in order
to get a leverage with which to com
pei him to sell his Standard Oil hold
ings Mr. Kline reviews the case and
points out that the arbitrator said
they were satisfied from the evidence
that complaint against Rockefeller was
not true and that he had purchased the
stock in question in good faith at what
he believed to be it's full value. The
point, however, brought out
in Miss Tarbell's sketch is that Mr..
in 1872, at the time when
the whole body Of oil producers were
openly allied to put an end to secret
railroad rebates, deliberately chose to
bend his great energies to perpetuating
that practice for his own personal bene-
fit and Notwithstanding the experience
of his previous efforts in that direction
which had SO greatly aroused public
Indignation.
In an interview Miss Tarbell said she
had judged ROckefeller's action toward
his friend Corrigan by the Golden Rule
and that she had not accused him Of
the law Or the rules of bust
ness as they seemed to be interpreted
by many business men.

Total to be paid by residents in
one year .................. S22l 81
We submit that with an indirect
revenue OF more than 100000, means
could be found to operate the city with a
direct levy not exceeding $4,000, giving
total of upwards of $50. 900.
In looking over the affairs of the city,
one is impressed with the primitive
methods in use. Having grown from a
struggling village to a city, the village
methods remain. Ask city official, for
instance, how much it has cost the city
in the present year for street crossings
and intersections, and it is doubtful if he
can answer the question in three days
time. The water department will be
found alone in keeping books with its
work, although the records Of this de.
partment should he complete summary
of its entite transactions, receipts and
expenditures all itemized. No private
business concern loing a similar volume
of business as this city would keep out of
the bankruptcy court five years with
such a system-or lack OF system-as
here obtains.
What is required is an administration
with capacity for the initiative, that
will abandon the worn ont ruts investi-
gate the most successful plans in use in
other cities and adopt them, in fact, it
might he found true economy to employ
a municipal expert to 20 over the old
records. correct and bring them up to
date, and install modern system.
In prenarng this article, the HERALD
has endeavored to present the facts as it
found them. Should there be any errors
discovered in those statements, we will
cheerfully give space to anyone wishing
to point them out.

How the city taxes Of A Aberdeen came
to reach 25 mills is an instructive story.
as Illustrating how municipalities first
abhor, then endure, then embrace. In
1901 the mistake wa~ made IF lowering
the levy nom lS mills to 10, creatin! a
deficit that bad to be met later. To cover
this the unusual levy of % mills was
made for 1893, with the idea that one
such levy would suffice, but, when the
succeeding year arrived it was found that
the big fires would necessitate its con.
tlnuance for one more year, and this wear
finds 1t repeated probably because the
people will stand it, and we feel assured
it will continue to he levied until an em-
phatic protest and demand for better
financiering is made.
While the cost to the people j. large,
this is by no means the greatest pvi, cf
this high rate. An era Of ndu-'r,l ie.
velopment is dawning in the Pa ific
Northwest. Aberdeen possessts alvan-
tages second to no point on the coast by
when to attract new enterprises, the
establishment Of which are necessary Tor
her legitimate growth. but, how are we
to desclibe these advantages to Industrial
CAPITA with tax rate of 5ls per cent
1t gives such investors cold feet when
they begin to figure on fxeds charges,
and they seek other fields.
Had the water system been operated
on the plan suggested, this levy would
have been reduced to about IL mills,
and had such permanent impro vements
as the city hall and the steel nridge over
the Wishkah street river been provided
for by bonding, it would have materially
re need the direct tax levy and permitted
those coming here in the future to assist
in paying for the improvements they
would enjoy.
1t certainly appears that, with proper
financiering, this city should be able to
maintain its PAPER at par with tax levy
OF 10 mills. In support of this assertion,
we call attention to the revenues derived
from other sources:
Saloons and dance halls ...... $25 600
Police court fines. ............... $500
