FIGHT CHECK TAX.
Millions Transferred from Chicago
Banks Monday.

Chicago, H., Jan. lO.-The transfer
Of many millions Of dollars Of deposits
from Chicago banks to the banks Of
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Kansas City,
Milwaukee and other cities Monday de.
yeloped as a move by individual mem
hers Of the Illinois Manufacturers As.
ISOLATION to fight the tax on the collec-
ton Of out Of town checks by the Chi.
cago Clearing House Association.
1t was stated that this idea had not
been devised by the members them.
selves, but had originated with the
banks OF the other cities named, which
had been quick to improve the chance
to increase their deposits at the expense
of Chicago institutions.
Investigation showed that for several
days past a number OF banks outside
Of Chicago had been in communication
with various local firms represented in
the manufacturers association, both by
correspondence and through personalrep-
resentatives, with a view to securing
a share OF the banking business Of such
firms handled at present By Chicago
banks.
The position taken by such outside
banks in most eases il said to be char
acterized by Willingness to clear all
checks sent them without toll, provided
they were given share Of the deposits
at present held by Chicago institutions.
Atty. John II Herrick, for the Chi
eago Clearing House Association, said
he would probably present his opinion
as to the legality of the proposed toll
on checks yesterday or today. In the
event THAI the clearing house associa-
tion declines to recede from its posi-

and to begin legal action if necessary.

to sell land to any person WHO ndue
written application for the selection
thereof at not less than 81 per acre.
Under this law the state land board
fixed the price at $3.50 per acre and
required each person applying Tor the
selection of land to make a non-mln-
eral affidavit and he was constituted
the agent of the state for the purpose
of selecting and examining the land.
This affidavit was filed in the office
of the secretary of the board and
non-mineral affidavit made by the
president and secretary OF the board,
in which it was stated that they had
caused the land to be examined by
agents and employees of the state,
which was entirely true, as the person
making the application for selection
was the agent of the state for that
purpose. Each list filed in the United
States land Office would contain lands
applied for by several persons and
very frequently also lands selected by
members of the board, and that is
why the terms agents and employees"
were used
BY adopting this plan the state
saved the expense of sending out men,
bers of the board or other agents to
examine each tract, which would have
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Federal officers were informed OF
this procedure, as they admit in their
complaint when they say they will
produce letter from the secretary OF
the land board to an officer of the gov
eminent disclaiming any duty or obi
CATION upon the part of the state board
to make examination in such cases.
It would certainly seem there is no
more improperly in accepting the af-
| fidavit as to the non-mineral character
of the land from an intending pur-
chaser from the state than there is
from a homesteader or purchaser un'
der the desert act.
| Under this plan the selection and
sale of lands became very greatly ia
cilitated and was a mere matter OF
routine, the same as the business OF
the government land offices. Any per
son who made the application for the
selection of land accompanied with the
required non-mineral affidavit and the
necessary cash deposit provided for by
the law obtained the land he applied
for unless a contest was filed by some
other person who substantiated his
claim before the local land office thai
the land applied for was mineral il

Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1906-08-04

AS to the criticism against the
board for making shoestring selections
along streams, if such selections had
not been made the state would not
have realized as much as $1.50 per
acre for it's lands. The criticism is
evidently made on the theory that the
state owns the land back from the
streams, the sale of which will be de-
stroyed by such selection, but the
state does not own the adjoining land
it is public domain.
Truth does not claim to be wiser
than it's generation or better informed
on all subjects than it's neighbors, but
such of the foregoing facts as were
not in our possession were readily OBJ
tainable and could have been ascer-
tanned by any reporter bent upon &C
curacy instead of upon welding the
scoop shovel of modern newspaper
methods.
