MUST PAY FOR FUNDS USED.
Interest to Be Collected From Banks
on Government Deposits.

on Government Deposits.
Washington, d. c., June 5.-Under
the terms Of the new currency law,
banks in which funds Of the govern-
ment are deposited must hereafter pay
interest for the use Of such funds. An
exception is made in the case of those
banking associations designated as ma
tional Repositories, in which funds are
placed strictly for the use Of the gov
ernment's own expense.
There are outstanding about $72.O0O.-
900 of government funds on (which In
terest must be paid by banks and by
an odd coincidence similar amount
rests in repositories not subject to the
tax. It was stated at the treasury de-
partment yesterday that not only
would the tax be charged on all de-
posits Of government money made In
the future but that the tax would be
payable on funds already deposited In
banks from the time the new law be-
came effective.
The rate of interest chargeable 10
to be not less than 1 per cent, and as
much more as the secretary Of the
treasury may deem proper. For the
present, however. the probable rate OF
interest will be per cent per annum.
In the south and west each year huge
sums Of money are necessary to move
the crops, and government funds have
frequently aided greatly in relieving
the situation. During the recent strin-
gency there was cry for government
funds from the crop centers. Hereaf-
ter banks must pay for money lent by
the government to move crops.

And for that same reason the dis
cussion is starting early as to what
will happen next Regretfully 1t is
recognized by all that Senator William
B. Allison has not long for active
participation in public affairs. If va
cancy occurs in the senate from this
state the governor appoints till the
next session of the legislature. The
primary election law provides that the
nomination shall be made by the prl-
mary election law. In the light of the
fact that the people will nominate the
successor to Allison the chances are
that no governor would appoint for
short period, but would wait for the
primary to nominate.
1t is generally conceded that senti-
1nent brought about the denomination
o: Senator Allison. Sentiment for a
public official who had served for
thirty-six years seems to have beer
sufficient without any other consie
eraticns. And the same sentiment tF !

BANK. EXCHANGES DECREASE.
Difference Of Ono Day in Statement

New York, June 5.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say: Again, the differ
ence of one day in the weekly state
ment of bank clearings, will mater
tally affects returns, this time unfavor-
ably, the total bank exchanges at all
the leading cities for the five days
ending Thursday, being S2.205, 100000
decrease of 20.3 per cent compared
with the six days in the week year
ago, and 1873 per cent less than the
corresponding week in 1906. Eliminate
this difference of one day, as is done in
the statement of the average daily fig
ures, and it appears that the bank ex-
changes averaged each day in June to
day, $451, ,0s5, 900, against $455, ia 900
year ago, substantial improvement
over the earlier months this year,
when heavy losses were recorded in
comparisons with both preceding
years. The Improvement continues
especially marked at New York City
and is largely due to greater activity
in the stock market.
Dispatches to Dun's Review indicate
further progress in the right direction.

DR.. T. S. Henderson, whose candidacy

DR.. Henderson has an advantage
over all of the other candidates. He
has conducted two of the most sue

one of these is DePauw university the
