LIMITATIONS or
CERTIFICATES
TO S25.ooo.coo rs CONSIDERED
WISE SOLD TO NAT. BANKS.
SOLD TO NATIONAL BANKS
With Which to Increase Their Circu-
lation. Democrats Want Speaker
Cannon to Make Appointments.
Notes Will Be Taxed.

The final closing Of allottmens OF
the 3 per cent one year certificates
was definitely announced by Secre-
tary Cortelyou. He declare that no
allotments had been made, or would
be made after his announcement Of
last Wednesday night that no further
subscriptions would be considered.
The point was not quite clear until
his statement that some of the allo..-
ments might not be made from sub
scriptions already in hand on Wednes-
day. As the matter stands practically
all the allotments are to national
banks which have agreed to take out
circulation, and in the majority of
cases, have indicated a willingness to
surrender the certificates before ma
turity upon payment of accrued inter-
est to the date of redemption.
Information was still withheld at
the treasury as to the amount Of the
allotments made but such information
as is obtainable indicated that the to-
tai will not materially exceed $685.
100000.
There appears to be no doubt that
probably three-fifth of the amount al
dotted is subject to redemption with
accrued interest within three months.
On the basis of an issue of $25, 000,-
600 this would amount to the redemp-
ton of $15,0O0,0O0 with interest 20
the amount of / "a per cent, which
would require $225.000, for the inter
est payments.
If $10,0O0,000 Of the certificates
run the full year, the interest pay
ments at 3 per cent would consume
100000. These two sums, therefore,
make total Of $4,000 which would
represent the entire cost of the issue
of certificates to the treasury outside
the trifling Incidental expenses Of IS
sue. This would be at the rate OF
about 2-3 of cent per capita for the
population of the United States.

Bar Assignments.

A resolution which, if carried, will
revolutionize the present manner Of
committee assignments for the Dem
ocrats of the House, will he intro
duced in the Democratic caucus Of
the House by Representative William
A. Jones Of Virginia. The Jones res
olution will provide that the minority
leader shall not accept from the
speaker the privilege of assigning mi
nority members to committees. Mr..
Jones, who has always been a close
friend of John Sharp Williams, who
will be the next leader Of the minority
will introduce the resolution with no
idea of striking at Mr.. Williams. He
believes that the minority leader
should not be put III even the guise
of accepting privilege from the
Speaker of the House. The fact that
the leader makes his assignments puts
him under a certain obligation to the
Speaker gives him that much power
in controlling the committees. If the
Jones resolution should carry, which is
extremely doubtful, Speaker Cannon
would have to make the Democratic
appointments himself. They have al
ready been prepared by Mr.. Williams.

Will Tax Notes.

The collector Of internal revenues
OF Tennessee has written to the COM
missioner relative to the taxability
OF certain notes other than national
bank notes proposed to be used for
circulation. 1t appears that Tonnes
see bank loaned a county in that state
some money to be paid next F'ebru-
airy. BY arrangement with the coun-
ty authorities notes Of the denomina-
ton of SIS and $40 were executed for
the payment of the amount due, and
it is the purpose of the bank to use
these notes as circulation medium
IN order to relieve, as far as possible,
the embarrassment caused by ascar-
city Of currency in that part Of the
country. The commissioner advises
the collector that relying upon the
opinion of Atty.-en. Olney, that GER
tificates issued by clearing houses are
not notes within the meaning Of the
revised statutes, the commissioner has
heretofore refused to issue ins.ruc-
tions for the collection of the 10 per
cent tax on clearing house certificates.
The commissioner believes, however,
that the notes referred to by the Ten
nessee bank are clealy of the character
which congress desired to discourage
for use as circulation by the imposi-
ton of the 10 per cent tax AMI s.,
many of them as are issued and used
for circulation will be subject to the
tax.

Exclusion Of Japanese.

It is improbable that any legislation
looking to the exclusion Of Japanese
will receive the approval Of the Exc
cutive until an opportunity has been
had had to test the efficiency Of the
new regulations that the Japanese
government is preparing with view
to regulating emigration. Such advices
as the State Department has received
indicate that in preparing these regu-
lations the Japanese government is
in perfect harmony with the
desires Of our own government, and
it is deemed only proper that they
should be submitted to a test befo.e
any legislation is attempted.

Asset Currency.

President Roosevelt has informed
deaders in the senate Of his unaltcra.
bile opposition to an asst currency law.
If the Fowler bill, favorably repol ted
to the house, last session had reached
! him, the president would have vetoed
y. He wants an emergency currency,
but wants the plan bu~lt on policy
of contraction rather than one Of ex-
pansion. He would tax an emergency
currency as much as per cent if he
could have his way, but might consen.
to tax of about 6 per cent. The
Fowler bill would tax an issue of
40 per cent Of the bank s bond-se:ur-
ed circulation, not to exceed Is per
cent of its capital, 3 per cent, and a
further issue of II IL per cent Of
the bond-secured circulation S per
cent. The president thinks that tax
altogether too sm,ll. AS far as can
ioe learned, there will be no admins
tration currency bill but the president
will probably outline in very general
way the kind Of currency legislation
he would like to nave. He told re-
cent visitor that he vas entirely clear
In his own mind as to what he want
ed, but had not been able to fix upon
the exact provisions by which it could
be attained. Some congressman think
he may recommend {. guarantee for

principle the plan that Bryan has
been advocating here the last few
days, and that he will favor an en-
largement Of the list of securities be-
hind notes.

them being distributed among people
seeking information concerning our
state. We can raise corn and just as
good corn as any section of the Ma
tipnal Union. This work must be kept
up and the educational interests are
the ones to SOW the seed.

some list of premiums was offered by

Next year include premiums for hogs

principal farm crops. The result will
fully justify the expenditure and even
tually it will mean first class county
