Coach Horses Join Fox Chase.

They had some spirited horses In
the old coaching days. Just 100
years ago a remarkable proof OF this
was given, and fortunately recorded
for the establishment Of later motor
ing generations. in the case of tho Liv-
erpool mail coach. Horses were
changed at Monks Heath, between
Newcastle-under-Lyme, says the Lon
don Tribune.
On this particular occasion a pack
OF foxhounds was heard in full cry
just as the horses from Congleton
were freed from the coach, and they
started off with the harness on their
backs and followed the run to the
finish. One of them, a blood mare
stuck close to the whipper-in and took
every jump after him through the two
hours. And in the evening they took
the return coach to Congleton as mer-
rily as il they had been in the stable
all the time.

State Capital Notes
wo,kIy Budget Gathered by Our Special Cores
pondent Madison

Madison.-A meeting of prominent
Wisconsin bankers was held here 10
consider legislation pending OF great
est importance to the banking busl-
ness. The men who gathered here
were largely representatives or WIS
consin State Bankers association, and
their interest centers in what is known
as the owen bill, or substitute for SEN
ate bill No. 491, which is designed to
give trust companies the right TO do
general banking business, this right
being now withheld under the general
banking laws of the state.
1t appears that under the present
law trust com panies are prohibited
from doing a general banking bust
ness. The substitute for the Owen
bill provides that in addition to the
powers that trust companies now
have they can receive money on de-
post. to be subject to check or to be
repaid in such manner and under such
terms and with such interest as may
be agreed upon" While trust com
panies in the past have been rece j.
ing time and saving deposits, the G
deposits have not been subject to
check 1t is now contended by the
bankers that the proposed law will
give the trust companies all the right
to do a general banking business with
out subjecting them to the banking
laws of the taxation levied upon bank
capitalization.
In a decision handed down by for
mer Attorney General Sturdevant in
August. 1905, it was held that when a
trust company engaged in a general
banking business it was unlawful. In
his annual report Bank Examiner
Berg asked for legislation that would
more clearly define the powers of
trust companies. 1t is also pointed
out that If the bill becomes law
there will be direct conflict in the
manner of taxation, for trust compan-
les, in addition to their real estate
actually owned, pay license fee of
$500 upon their capitalization and
three per cent upon their net income,
Whlle tHe cdplldl Sloch Vi d DdHh Is
taxed, as is personal property, at its
book or actual value.
The banking law of Wisconsin was
amended in 1903, and what is consid-
cred an excellent law adopted. While
the bankers who are in the city re-
fuse to discuss the detail plans for
mulated to-day, it is believed that the
Owen bill will be strongly opposed
and that a committee will be appoint
ed to resist its enactment.
