President Taft's Message To Congress

Washington, d. G., March 16.-President Tafts message to
Congress asking for a tariff revision was read in both houses TO-DAY.
1t received careful attention on the part of the Senators, many Of
whom laughed when the Presidents suggestion that no Legislation
except in relation to the tariff be considered at this session was read
The message follows:
ITO the Senate and House OF R Representatives: 1 have convened
the Congress in this session in order to enable it to give Immediate
consideration to the revision Of the Dingley tariff Act. Conditions
affecting production, manufacture and business generally being so
changed during the last IL years as to require a readjustment and
revision of the import duties imposed by that Act More than this.
the present tariff Act, with the other sources of Government revenue.
does not furnish income enough to pay the authorized expenses.
By July LIST, next, the excess of expenses over receipts for the
current fiscal year will equal $780, 100000.
"The successful party in the late election is pledged to revision
of the tariff. The country and the business community especially
expect ii. The prospect of a change in the rates of import duties
always causes a suspension or halt in business because of the un-
certainty as to the conditions to be made and their efect. 1t is
therefore of the highest Importance that the new bill should be
agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible consistent
with its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons / have
deemed the present to be an extraordinary occasion within the
meaning of the constitution, justifying and requiring the calling Of
an extra session.
"In my inaugural address / stated in a summary way the
principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision Of the tariff
should proceed, and indicated at least one new source of revenue
that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit
Iti is not necessary for me to repeat what l then said.
81 venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the
country demand the attention Of congress be chiefly devoted to the
consideration of a new tariff bill, and that the less time given to
other subjects of legislation in the session, the better for the country.

Commenting upon the recent release
OF Thomas B. Hickey by the ruling OF
the Nevada State Supreme Court upon
the habeas corpus application Of the in
dicted banker. the Goldfield News says
that IL was nothing more than could be
expected under the Nevada statutes.
Hickey was charged with receiving de-
posts. knowing the bank to be insol-
vent The statute makes IL a crime to
receive deposits under such circum-
stances. The deposit in this case Wa
received by the receiving taller and not
by defendant Hickey. who ~contended
that this character Of reception was not
within the law and that the teller was
o his agent. but the agent OF the
corporation. Tue Court sustained
Rickey's contention and discharged
him.
On motion Of District Attorney Rob
erts all indictments against Thomas b
Hickey were dismissed by Judge Lam
gan in the District Court. The indict-
ments against the other officers and
employees of the various branch banks
were also dismissed.
The banking laws Of Nevada, the
News declares, were originally enacted
to protect the banker and not the de.
p~ositor. A few rich men ran Nevada
MP until within the past few years. and
to an extent run the State now. They
owned the newspapers and elected the
Legislature and the Judges OF the
District and Supreme Courts; they
made the laws and construed them in
their own interests.
Bot this state Of things is gradually
passing away. Nevada is filling mp

Nevada Banking Laws
Strange Legal Easements That Made the Acqurttal OF thomas
B. Hickey Possible. and Which Render Lootrne OF
Banks Safe In the Saeebrush State

get away with the swag. And 1t will
grow harder still.
Two years ago q few patches were
put upon the old banking laws and they
somewhat improved. Bat an entire
new garment is needed. Let us havt
a new law aud wipe the old one of th'
statute books entirely. This is a Stat.
of State banks. B1nkers find they cal
make more money with State bank
than with National banks. The latter
are too strict. They circumscribe tn
character OF loans a bank can make, 70
instance, and there is not half the chanc'
for wildcat banking operations. Foi
this very reason there should be stri.t
banking laws. Directors should be
made individually responsible to de-
positors for losses. II the private for
tunes of directors Of State banks were
at stake they would give some time and
attention to a banks affairs.
As it is now, they can organize a
bank. hire some n to run it. loot the
Institution and go scot free, placing the
moral and legal responsibility on the
poor devil of a hireling who must do
their bidding to get his wage. This is
what the decision of the Supreme
amounted to. Tho $35.per.week clerk
who merely stood at the window and
counted the depositor's money vas re.
sponsiLle for all the trouble. according
to the decision referred to, and not the
man who runs the bank or the men
who profit by its thieving operations.
Such a thing is an absurdity and q
travesty. But it is the law, according
to the Supreme Court, and they are
'.all honorable men" aud construe the
law. presumably. according to its letter
and spirit.
II q law were enacted that made d.
rectors and their private fortunes re-
sponsible for all losses by State
banks, nothing more would be needed.
That would do as we'll as tons of tones
or piles of porous plasters in the shape
of amendments to existing laws.
And, by the way, what has become
of those new banking laws that were
promised by both the Democratic and
Republican platforms? There is moth.
ing in sight yet and the session is
about over.

The proposed dividend of 80 cents a

to be paid on April 30. Of over $l,C00,.
600. is one of the largest ever paid at

is boring for oil at the new fields neal
Goldfeld. has not yet struck a gusher,
but at a depth of 800 feet it has en-
couutered considerable oil and is great.

The Direct Primary bill. introduced
in and passed by the Senate. has also
passed the House, and will become a

will sign it. 1t is believed that this
will tend to make politics cleaner in
