Kansas National Banks Must Let
Guaranty Law Alone.

National banks in the state of Kan
sas will not be permitted by the federal
authorities to participate in the guar
anty of deposits. under the Kansas bank
depositors' guaranty law passed by the
last legislature. This decision is an
nounced in communication from Law
renee o. Murray, comptroller of the
treasury department, to Wv. Bow
man. of this city, secretary of the Kan
sas Bankers association. In effect this
ruling by the comptroller means that if
the national banks. in the state desire
to participate in the guaranty of depos-
its. they must reorganize as state banks
and surrender their charters as national
banks.
The ton from the comp
troller reads as follows:
washington, March Is, 1909.
'Mr w. w. Bowman. Secretary Kan
sas Bankers Association, Topeka,
Kan.
''Sir:-In reply to your inquiry of the
11th inst, you are advised that this
office will hold that national banks can
not lawfully participate in the proposed
guaranty of some bank deposits under
the bank depositors guaranty law of
Kansas. approved March 6, 1909.

troller Murray's reply to Mr.. Bowman's 8
inquiry was written last Monday, and
of course, prior to the receipt Of Com
missioner Dolley's fletter, but it is not
considered probable that the comptrol-
Ter will change his decision in the mat

In the case of the Oklahoma guaranty
law, the comptroller refused to permit
national banks in that state to guaranty
deposits. The Kansas law is somewhat
different from the Oklahoma law and
it was hoped that the changes in it
might induce the treasury department

BLESSING OR MENACE?

Chicago. March 1S-The new tariff
bill is welcomed as a blessing and also
regarded as a menace in various in

the Illinois Steel company, sees a blight

SAY 1T IS UNFAIR.
The FiIipinos Do Not Like the New
Tariff Bill.

Manila, March 1S,-The proposals en-
bodied in the Payne bill for the re-
vision of the tariff have been unfavor-
ably received here because of the lini-
tations placed on sugar and tobacco. 1t
is generally felt if there is to be an un-
restricted admission of American pro-
ducts to the Philippines, it is only fair
to admit freely Filipino products to
America.
A prominent merchant here expressed
the general attitude here when he said ::
The proposed arrangement is un-
equal and unfair. 1t is a bad bargain
for the Philippines. There is no dan
ger of the islands producing enough
sugar and tobacco to injure the Amer
lean planters, for the natural increase
in consumption there would easily and
quickly absorb any increase here Ac-
curate figures absolutely demonstrate
this. This inevitable effect of the pas
sage of this bill will be to discourage
and retard development already re-
tarded many years by the failure of
congress to do justice to these islands.
We appeal to the sense of justice, of
the American people to make fair and
equitable arrangement and to right the
old injustice
1t is expected that the commercial
bodies of the islands will meet and
cable protests against the proposals in
the Payne bill which are considered

&c participate in the guaranty privileges
OF the Aansas-law- But the position of
the comptroller appears to be that the
guaranty OF deposits is not for the ma
tional banks.
Just what effect this decision of the
comptroller will have on the action of
national banks in the state cannot be
uennltely ascertained at this time. The
only way in which these institutions
may come under the guaranty feature
is TO turn in their national charters and
reorganize as state banks. and it is
thought that many of them will adopt
this course. A movement is on foot to
get the national banks together under
the provisions of the Aldrich-Vreeland
act, passed by congress, which act does
not guarantee deposits, but is calcu-
lated to lessen the danger of bank fail

taken, but would not be surprised to
see the national banks of Kansas take
advantage of the benefit offered by the
Aldrich- -Vreeland measure. This Is not
in the nature of a guaranty law, but IS
a preventive measure. 1t would not

There are 175 girls at Wells college

Yacht Valmore Again Wins
Mackinac Cup Race

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, July 26.
William Hall Thompson's trim schooner
yacht Valmore, last years winner of
the Mackinac cup race, has repeated
the trick. The Valmore. at 9:33:03
a. m. today, crossed the finish line :4:54
behind her big rival the Amorita
which had given the Thompson boat a
time allowance of 2:4z:32. The Vel
more therefore won by 2:37:3S over the
Amorita, which, however secured sec
ond place by a large margin. The
trip was made by the winner in
42:33:03 for the 331 miles.
1t was a beautiful race between the
Valmore and the Amorita From 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon. when the
IL yachts started on the 331 miles run
to this island, the Amorita and VAL
more were never far apart.
The Amorita was built for ocean
going, and this year, while losing on
time allowance, made the fastest time
ever attained in the New York Ber-
muda race.
The sloop Venedor won third place.
