Lowering wants the government to au

tary of the Treasury that the country

proved that they are absolute owners of

daily balances SO that it cost the State
nothing to borrow none from the banks
if the State was not compelled to use
the money and left it on deposit with the
banks.
The notes all matured on December
18th. The question of paying or renew
ing them came up few days before the
18th and | decided on about the 18th of
December to renew the notes for thirty
DAYS The reason for the renewal was
that the State had very large amount
of money to pay out the latter part of
December and we were uncertain how
rapidly the tax money would come in.
Some Of the corporations were threat
enng to resist payment of their taxes. We
feared that the panicky condition of the
times might delay the payment of taxes
generally and leave the State unable to
meet it's liabilities We had on hand De
cenber 18th $363,8o6 deposited in va
rious banks throughout the State. II
we had paid the $4,000 Of notes it would
have left only $I83,8o6 on hand. We had
S41o,222 to pay out between the 18th
and the Goth of December. We had to
pay on the first of January 100000 for
interest and principal on the public debt,
The State collected on December Goth
S228, 486 of corporation taxes. The large
sum in the Neal Bank was due in part
to this collection The Treasurer de
posted $85,4o8 with that bank on the
Goth.

still have SOL 100000 of the peoples
money, which they are lending to the
spectators at a high rate of interest. For
the use of this vast sum the banks pay
no interest, and it seems that the govern
ment is going to let the banks keep the
money indefinitely
If that isn't the confscatlon OF the
money which belongs to us all and the
giving of it to the few who run the ma
tiona1 banks, what is it?
Isn't it burning shame that $IoI ,ooo,-
900 should be taken from the people by
taxation and devoted to the permanent
use of the national banks?
Isn't it strange that neither the Demo
cratic nor the Republican party makes
war upon this crime against justice?
The President is badly bitten by the
big navy madness and has been using
all of his influence to get four new battle
ships. instead of the two which Congress
voted. Thus far, the President has been
repulsed The navy bill already carries
an expenditure of $To4soooooo and surely
that is enough.
In his special message urging Congress
to vote for the four new battle-ships the
President made the most of the fact that
this country is rich and can afford the
expense. At time when a panic has
been distressing the great masses Of our
people for several months, that kind of
presidential talk does not sound we'll We
hope that Congress will stand it's ground
against the "big-navy" monomaniacs.

The President declared that he wanted
four more battle-ships Gin the interest of
peace" not of war
Yet the ink with which he wrote the
words was hardly dry before Senator
Lodge-mouthpie of the administration
was introducing into the Senate a reso-
luton authorizing the President to send
the fleet to Venezuela to make demon
stration" against that feeble state.
Why must we bully our little neighbor
by threatening her with our big battle
ships?
For the reason that the Venezuelan
President Castro busted the Asphalt
Trust Not only talked about busting
trusts but did it.
The Asphalt Trust is composed of rich
American schemers and swindlers, and
they contributed nearly two hundred
thousand dollars to finance a revolt
against the Venezuelan government. The
revolt failed, and the Trust had it's prop
erty in Venezuela confiscated

Airships and War.

In addressing the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers several army
officers have just given their views re-
garding the value of aeroplanes and
dirigible balloons as adjuncts of war
fare. That their belief in the utility
of these devices for campaign pur-
poses after they shall have been more
fully developed is shared by their
superiors at Washington, is asked from
congress for the perfecting of war ma
chimes that can navigate the air..
Yet good many people who are not
to be ranked with the peace at any

voted is connected with warfare il
