BAyKS IN DOUBT OSSEwlAw
Uncertain as to Payment of Interest
on Government Deposits.
RECENT ACT IS NOT CLEAR
II Local Institutions DO Have to Pay
One Per Cent Per Annum 10
Will Mean Twelve Thou-
sand Dollars, t, I8 0

VIII the national banks Of Omaha he
compelled to pay the secretary Of the treas
urv $4,000 annually interest on government
deposits. or only q nominal amount OF in
terest when they have special deposits?
This question Is a puzzle TO many Of the
bankers. The recent legislation requiring
the banks to pay l per cent per 'annum in
terest on government deposits reads as
though the banks would not have 10 pay
the interest. and at tho same time financial
papers construe the new law 70 mean that
interest OF 1 per cent will have to be paid
on all government none and that only
three banks in the United States have so
FAR surrendered their government deposits.
The national banks OF Omaha are all
government repositories and, better still,
they come under the head Of regular de-
posltories. They hold about 81, 10000 Of
government cash most OF the time.
The new law says regular repositories
shall pay interest on "all' special and ad-
ditlonal deposits placed in their vaults by
the secretary of the treasury. It provides
that associations and institutions which be-
come temporary repositories shall pay In
terest on all deposits.
Special and Additional.
M. r. Barlow, president OF the United
States National bank, said: II may be
wrong and the secretary Of the treasury
may call on us for the interest, amounting
to 1 per cent, on all government money on
deposit in the bank, but l take this law to
mean special and additional deposits which
are placed with the banks at such periods
as crop moving time. when all banks need
extra money" ..... ..
Bankers say that II the secretary of the
treasury wants 1 per cent per annum for
all money on deposit in Omaha he will get
81 900 per month from the Omaha institu-
tons, and they will place Il to his account
or forward the checks whenever he in
slsts. The Omaha banks will not be stub
born and send j 100000 Of working capital
back to Washington.
Two OF the banks which have refused to
pay interest on specified amounts are in
New York City, while the third is in the
west. but the secretary OF the treasury has
not made the names of the institutions
public.
But the interest checks are not due un-
til July 1 and there may be designations Of
deposits in greater numbers at that time.
A considerable sum has already been re-
ceived from the banks, and the country
will realize a large amount OF revenue on
its l per cent per annum charge.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-10-31

If you are citizen of any of these counties and don't want to see your county diHmembered. vote against the new county amendment. More coun- ties mean more money spent for court houses, more salaFie1 officers, higher taxes and poorer roads. With better roads and moro railroads the present court houses are becoming daily more accessible. If the new county amend maent is adopted, part of your eeua- sy may be cut on without your having . chance. to vote on it if you live in the part of your county not proposed to be voted imto the new county. If you. live in . part of your eounty vvhieh some veteFs want to form intO a new county, you may be voted into . new county RgAinst your will. Any town Taating to be county seat by its larger vote ean vote number of Cpuntry nreeamets lnto 6 new county awainat thear protest. If the amend mont is adopted Bessemer will vote country precincts from Walker, Tusca- loosa. Shelby, Blob and Jefferson into a new county against practically the solid opposition of such country pre- cIncts because Bessemer will have more votes than the country precincts and won't consult the wishes of the country precincts. The same thing may happen in your county sooner OF later. Bessemer will shape the new county it proposes to form like a horseshoe or a shoe string or in any other shape necesaGry to carry the election, and If it. fails to carry the election for new county In one shape 1t will map out another county in a different shape and have another election. ThIs may hRppen in your county # the new eo1nty amendment is adopted. Ninety nine voters in Alabama out of every hundred want the counties in which they live to continue unchanged. If you want your county to remain un. chanGed, vote against the new county amendmemf on November 3rd.
 The proposed amendment is inspIr- cd chiefly by citizens of Bessemer who

wish to create a new county carved from the counties of Jefferson. Walk CT. Tuscaloosa, Bibh and shelby, most of the territory is to be taken from Jefferson. This new county Is desired for the commercial advantage of Bes- semer and for the ofiees that 1t VIII create. It is- not desired by the voters of the country precincts proposed to be incorporated Into the new county outside of the City of Bessemer. An overwhelming majority ok the voters in Jefferson, Walker, ntbb, Shelby and Tuscaloosa are opposed to the crea- tfOn of this new county, and the Leg lsIature has always voted it down.
 Bessemer Is within twelve miles of Birmingham, connected with It by numerous trunk lines of railroads and two street car Iines. There is no ar- gument of public convenience or ae- vor of the creation of this new eoun. ty. No county seat in the State can be reached by all its inhabitants with so much convenience and Quickness as the county seat of Jefferson County.
 If the constitutional amendment Is adopted. the country precincts in this proposed new county will be voted in- to the new county by the preponder- ating vote of Bessemer. The plea Of AOC4l hGAh@HUNNb@ANGNh @EWG4 lM N8WOH of the New County Amendment vvall prove Q aeIusiOn and the tyranny of . seIAsh majority will rule.
 The citizens of Jefferson County are opposed to this assault upon it's in- tegrity. If the New County Amend ment is adopted, the same assault may be made upon the integrity of your county.
 A failure Co vote on thia ameadmest Is not equivalent to Q vote against it. If you are opposed to this amendment and believe that the creation oG new counties should he left to the LewlsIa- ture. record your vote against the amendment on November 3Ea.
