REPLIES SHARPLY
TO The "PROHIBS"
CONGRESSMAN JENKINS GIVES A
CAUSTIC ANSWER TO ANTI-SA-
LOON AGITATORS.
SPEAKS TO REV. NICHOLSON.
Will Not Report Bills Simply to Have
Laws Carried to Supreme
Courts.
NO POLITICS IN THE QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. S.
The feature of the hearing of the anti
saloon Representatives today before the
House judiciary committee was the re-
marks of John J. Jenkins of Wiscon-
sin, chairman of the committee, to Rev.
S. E. Nicholson, who spoke for the
American Anti-saloon league.
The remarks were made at the con
clusion of an argument by Mr.. Nichol-
son, urging the adoption of the Little
field, or some similar bill, prohibiting
the shipping OF liquor into prohibition
territory. Chairman Jenkins said that
80 per cent. of the bills of the kind I'M
der discussion brought before his com
mlttee were aimed at the very throat
of the government. Men full of senti-
ment would appear there, he declared,
and urge the committee to report Il bill
and ask Congress TO pass Il law to be
tested before the supreme court.
Explanation Is Caustic.
Your argument" said MIR. jenkins,
lis to put it up to the supreme court.
We are not here to report bills that
appear to us to be unconstitutional. 1t
Is our duty to prevent, if possible, the
passage of laws that are unconstitution-

No Politics in 1t.
Mr.. Nicholson explained that it was
not his intention to ask the committee to
do anything wrong. Judge Jenkins said
that politics had nothing to do with the
work of the Judiciary committee, but
that there was Il diversity of opinion as
to whether the various liquor bills were
constitutional or not.

Republican, for it is the showing made by the banking institution as whole; the proof of those conditions of finan- cial prosperity that all Arizona Is con- cerned in impressing upon the reading public, and now has the figures to il- illuminate.
 Attention is called to the fact that the comparisons that are to be made, and other comparisons the reader if familiar with financial matters, can work out for himself. are between con dftions obtaining just before the late period of financial distress when pros perity was quite universal throughout the country. and conditions as they eN- isted in the middle of February 1908, 1 after the general disturbance is over and normal prosperity has been re- sumed. Tn a sentence it may be truth fully said that while some sections of the country have been quite seriously affected. Arizona simply resumes where she left off and in many parts of Ari- zona there was really mo leaving off. ' It will be noted that the total of de- posits in all the banking institutions is smaller, but only slightly so, and the

total of loans has been decreased iii proper proportion, so that the stability of the institutions has not been af- feeted Their business during the scare" was we'll maintained and at the present time is rapidly increasing, probably with a ratio just as flatter- ing as at any previous time.
 There are thirty territorial banks re- porting on this last call under date of February IA, 1908. against twenty eight banks which reported their condition September 10, 1907. the date of the last previous statement. One bank, the Home Savings Bank and Trust Com pany of Phoenix, has been consolidated with another territorial bank. the Val ley Bank of Phoenix, while three new ! territorial banks have opened for the i transaction of business since the pre- visus call for a statement. No terri torial banks were obliged to suspend
 during the recent money stringency.
 | The actual cash on hand in the ter 1 ritorial banks on February 14, 1908 was | q, ,053 62324, which is the greatest
 amount of cash ever held by the ter
 ritorial banks. On September 10, 1907
Arizona republican., 1908-03-13

the currency and specie amounted to ss31, ,731 .07, while the corresponding figure on June F. 1907 was only $780, O30.00.
 The fact is emphasized that the above figures are not the entire so- called cash assets of the banks but that part of the assets which is in real money. an item that is not usually given separately in a condensed bank statement. In this special statement given above, this item has been es- pecialiy prepared and will be found in the first column. preceding the name of the bank, the same item being in cluded in the column to the right. headed, Cash and due from other banks.T In the comparisons in the preceding paragraph the figures show ing cash on hand in former reports. are given as they were secured by the auditor It will be noticed by com parison that between June and Sep tember of last year the territorial banks increased their actual cash about s71, 900, whicn was flattering. But be-
 tween September of last year and Feb
 ruary of this year, while entertaining
Arizona republican., 1908-03-13

In presenting herewith statement
 of the condition of the financial insi-
 tutions of Arizona, The Republican takes special pride in two features. One is the fact that it is the first time in recent years. and perhaps the first time in the history of the territory when 1t has been reasonably possible to secure a complete and full statement of the condition of all the banks both territorial and national, and the build ing and loan associations, having these statements of even date. This was made possible by the call on the territorial banks and build- ing and loan associations, by Auditor John H. Page, at the same time the call was issued on the national banks The figures herewith presented have been compiled by Auditor Page and are therefore official, correct and complete
 giving an accurate reflection of finan- cial conditions in the territory about the middle of February. The other feature of pride is one in which every Arizonian may participate with as much pleasure and satisfaction as The

a nice little panic. theoretically, the banks increased their actual cash about S222. 900.
 The loans have been reduced by S400, 1000 since the September statement and while the total amount of cash and exchange is somewhat less than that shown before the recent panic, the ratio of cash resources to total de- posits is practically the same. The total amount of capital, surplus and undivided profits, less expenses and taxes paid. is s1,77S.S65. which amount is greater than ever before and Is real ly the margin of protection for de- positors. It was expected that the de- posits would decrease considerably on account of the financial conditions etc, but this statement shows d de- crease in deposits from those of Sep tember, when deposits were at the max imum in the history of the territory of only 15.6 per cent. Thirty three and seven tenths per cent of the total de- posits and other liabilities is held by the territorial banks in cash and ex- change and 12.s per cent in actual cash in the banks. The accounts showing
Arizona republican., 1908-03-13

the investments in securities and real estate are practically the same as in the previous report
 National Banks.
 The statement of theacondttion of the twelve national banks, as reported to the comptroller of the currency on February 14. 1908 shows that the na- tionaI banks held ss09,954.s0 in actual currency and specie and this amount is approximately s15O,0O0 greater than the cash on hand in these same twelve banks as reported August 22, 1907. The total cash and exchange amount to $2,07S,s71.45. which sum Is 364 per cent of the total deposits and other liabil- ities. The aggregate of the deposits in the national banks on February 14 is &, ,552. .4O135, which amount is only 17.i per cent less than the deposits in these twelve national banks on August 9, 1907.
 Fourteen and two-tenths per cent of the total deposits and bills payable is actually on hand in the banks in cur rency and specie. The items of United States bonds. other securities, real es- tate and circulation have not varied

All Banks in the Territory.

The capital stock, surplus and undi- vided profit accounts of all the banks in the territory aggregate a little over sS,OOO,OOO and the total deposits in all the banks are nearly $14.O0O.000. The banks hold in cash and exchange $5.- 900. 900 in round numbers, nearly R. OO0,00O of which Is cash on hand. Thus 35 per cent of the deposits is held by the banks in cash or deposited in other banks, 13 per cent of the deposits being actually on. hand in currency and specie The total loans of the banks amount to S9.7OO,O00 and the domestic building and loan associations have made loans amounting to about ss5e.- 900, nearly all of which Is on real es- tate mortgages. And 1t may be added that most of the money handled and loaned by the building and loan as- sociations is local cash money.
