BANKS WILL HAVE
TO PAY INTEREST.
----
Government Funds on Deposit Call for It
Under New Currency Law.

Washington, June S. Under the terms
Of the new currency Law, passed BY Con-
gress In its closing hours, banks in which
funds Of the government are deposited
must hereafter pay interest for use Of
such funds
An exception is made in the case Of
those national banking associations des-
ignated as regular repositories in which
government funds are placed strictly for
use Of the governments own expenses.
There are outstanding about $4,000
900 at government funds on which I'M
terest must be paid by banks, and a
similar amount rests in repositories not
subject to the tax.
It is stated at the treasury depart
ment that not only will the tax be
charged on all deposits Of government
money made in the future, but that the
tax will be payable on funds already
deposited in banks from the time the
new law became effective.
The rate Of interest chargeahle il to
be not less than one per cent. and as
much more as the secretary Of the treas-
ury may deem proper. For the present,
however. the probable rate of interest
will be one per cent. per annum.

one Southerner put it to me, win do the

and who feel inferior The negro that
the South fears and dislikes is the edn-
Gated, property owning negroe who is

many negroes to vote. He says.

no prejudice toward the ignorant per Sc

FOR A CONTINUATION OF
THE PROCTOR POLICIES.
[commuuieated.l


TO the Editor; l think the people Of
Vermont believe In the policies 81 the
Proctor administration, al incorporated
into statute by the legislature Of 1905.
Such measures as the weekly payment
and grade crossing bills, the new railroad
commission law, the regulation of child
labor, and the various measures relating
to the taxation Of corporations, whereby
corporate property is placed more nearly
On an equality with private, are Of much
Importance To the state and its citizens.
The special interests affected win make
a strong effort to have these laws modi
fed in such a manner as to impair their
present efficiency, In this connection
should be noticed the fact Of non.pay-
ment Of taxes BY two large corporations
necessitating suits against them BY the
commissioner of state taxes. AZ IL be-.
iieved that their object il not 50 much
to ay6id payment entirely, as to post
pone matters until another legislative
session, in the hope that amendments
to the tax law may then be secured
which will materially lessen their contri-
button to state expenses.
Having these matters in mind. be-
lieye the people would be enthusiastic
for Governor Proctor's denomination,
could he accept. As he ia not candi-
date, 1t is my opinion that George H.
Prouty ~ the popular choice for gov
ernor.
We need in the Office man OF exeeu-
tive ability, who has the capacity to
direct and guide men; man Of experience
and one who has made q success in pri-
Yate life, who has depssnstrated his
clear headedness by results in his own
business We need an administration
with distinct and well defined policies
to be carried out. aud chief execu-
tive with character and influence enough
TO sec that they become law. We have
had such an administration in the two
years just closing, with Governor Proctor
at its head. and Lieutenant Governor
Prouty as presiding officer Of the SEN

Who better can carry on the work 81
matters as between special
interests and the people especially in
regard to taxation than George II.

yourself the question. why Is this 10.
