NEW LICENSE LAW
AGAIN ENJOINED
Temporary Order Hating Tax on
Banks Follows Filing
of Suit
DISCRIMINATION Is ALLEGED
Financial institutions Make Sec
ond Attack on City
Ordinance
DISCRIMINATION is ALLEGED

A temporary injunction preventing
the operation of the new city tax and
license law was granted yesterday py
Judge Bordwell, presiding judge OF the
Los Angeles superior court, upon the
filing of a suit by the Southern trust
company, the Security Savings bank,
the German American Savings bank
and the Los Angeles Trust and Saw
ings bank.
The action filed is directed against
the city as a municipal body, Mayor
Alexander, the members of the city
council, A. Galloway, chief of police;
H. ]. Lelande, city clerk, and Clarence
M. Taggart, city tax collector.
1t is No. 2 in a series of suits filed for
the same reason. No. was won by the
banks and then the city officials, under
date of August "a, amended the or
dinance which had lost in the superior
court, and the second suit is the result.
The allegation, in principal, is that the
ordinance, which is known as No. 20810,
new series, is discriminatory. The de-
PENDANTS assert that the state laws
differentiate between straight bank
ing business and that which depends
upon loans and discounts which do not
form an entirely legitimate form of
f1nanciering.
The provision of the ordinance spe-
officially attacked Is that "for every
person, firm or corporation carrying
on the business of banking a monthly
license of 11a cents for each $1,000 of
the total loans and discounts" shall
be paid.
The complaint is of considerable
length and of interest especially to
bankers. It affects citizens only as it
affects the city's revenues.
Judge Bordwell in granting the tenn
porary injunction ordered that the re-
turn of the citation against the city 8
officials whereby they must show
cause why the restraining order shall
not be made permanent is returnable

PARROTS CAUSE ALARM
TO HORSE ON STEAMER
MacaW and Mate Leave Cage
One Attacks Steward

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Ninety-four
passengers came in from Panama and
Jamaica on board the Zacapa of the
United Fruit company's line, three of
them being a horse and two parrots.
And these three were the liveliest of
also lively, in fact, that not few
of the other ninety-one were glad to
reach the end of their trip.
Jack, the horse, is a Chilian animal,
brought here by Paul S. Ericsson of
this city. The parrots belonged to
Raoul Espinosa of Colon, who brought
them to present to Miss Hildreth, a
daughter of Walter Hildreth of the
Hotel Breslin. Espinosa is on his way
to Port Deposit, Md, to attend col
lege.
One of the parrots is of the macaw
variety. Last Thursday night it broke
out of it's cage, taking the other par
rot with it. They made their way to
the after deck, where Jack was estab-
lished in specially constructed stall
which allowed him to move back and
forth six or eight feet.
According to William Watson, a
steward, ne found the macaw sitting
at the front of Jacks stall, while its
mate sat at the rear First the green
parrot would shout "gid ap" in Span
ish, sending Jack plunging forward.
Then the mAcaw would yell "Whoa
and "back up" causing the horse to
put on brakes and start backward.
"They had Jack going back and
forth like a>1ig saw" Watson said. by
the time I got there he had kicked out
the baseboards both in back and IN
front. A minute more and he would
have broken out altogether, and the
parrots probably would have backed
him into the cabin"
AS proof of his story, Watson held
up a bandaged hand.
''When I grabbed the macaw," he
said, "he put up such a fight that he
nearly cut my hand into ribbons. If
they are looking for challenger for
Jack Johnson they'd better sign up
the macaw."

TAX COLLECTOR is READY
FOR ANNUAL PAYMENTS
Eighteen Rate Payers Wait for
County Doors to Open

In the office of the county tax col
lector, w. o. Welch, at 121 North
Spring street, there was unusual busi-
ness yesterday. caused by the fact
that the taxes for the levy of 1910 and
1911 became due. While the business
was good from the standpoint of TAX
Ing in the coin of the republic, there
was no excessive rush, as the taxes
for the first installment are not de-
linquent until the last Monday in No
vember of this year and the second in
stallment is not due before March of
1911.
The doors Of the tax collectors Of
fee were open at o'clock and eighteen
persons were in line to pay their taxes.
William E. Mccain was the first to
hand his cash over to the county. The
amount was S1741, in full for the COM
ing year, and being for the levy on
the property at 100 South Winona bou-
levard.
Many taxpayers, as usual. did not
call in person, and will not do so, but
will pay their financial respects to the
county by mail in the form of checks.

CHARGES AGAINST LICENSE
INSPECTOR ARE DISMISSED

The police commission last night dis
missed the charges preferred against
H. L. Varey, police license inspector,
by D. F. Hogan, manager of the West
lake stables. Hogan accuses Varey of
arresting him while he was attending
a funeral at st. Vibiana's cathedral be-
cause he did not have number
painted on one of his carriages. The
ordinance no longer requires these
numbers to be painted on the lamps,
but the present ordinance was hastily
amended by the council and this par
ticular provision overlooked.
Hogan has brought a civil suit
against Varey in the superior court for
false arrest, and the commission de-
cided to let the court settle the whole
matter.

BEING SETTLED BY COURT

Sales of personal property in the es-
tate of o. p. YYidaman, who was shot
July 20 at Artesia by Frank NJ. Bell
were ordered yesterday in department
two of the superior court, the amount
being approximately $4,000, and the date
of the sale yet to be set. The reason
for the ordering of the sales is the
fact that there are claims aggregating
$1100 against the estate.
Forty acres of land at Azusa, upon
which there is a mortgage of $500,
were set aside as a homestead for Mrs.
Widaman. The entire estate left by
the dead man is valued at $4,000, con-
sisting mostly of realty and bonds.

My Dear Mr.. Watson:-I am
writing to inquire as to the subscrip-
ton prices of your Weekly paper and
Jeffersonian Magazine.
Oklahoma is a Democratic State
by a good majority.
There are quite few Southerners
and a number of Georgians in our
town, Claremore; occasionally I dis

ing in the office, and find few are
ignorant of, or not in sympathy with
tom Watson.
[ have read all of your books and
am especially fond of the Story of
France and Bethany, and I wish to
thank you again for your kindness
in presenting me with your books
remember several years ago, you
made me present of all of the
books you had written up to that
time
I am doing the stenographic work
for the above law firm and studying

you out with your fight against class
legislation, but I can say this, that I
am forty-one years old and have
never voted an old party ticket, and
never expect to as long as I keep my
right mind. Well, keep putting it
to the Socialists and Foreign Mis-
sions and both the old parties. Say,
Bro. Watson, where can get the yea
and nay vote i'm the last Congress?
I would like to have it and see how

BELIEVES IN A DIRECT TAX.

Dear Sir:-I wish [ could write my
appreciation of your writings. I have
been a reader of your papers since
the first issue of the old Peoples
Party paper, and fully agree with
you on most all questions but the
tariff. I believe the National Gov
eminent should be supported just
like the State Government, by a di-
rect tax. | think we should have
free trade in everything but men,
women and children, and I think
those should have tax of $500 per
head on every one of them that is
landed in the United States. | think
if we will stop foreign immigration,
we will knock out the recruiting sta
ton of the Socialists and the Anarch-
lists.
Hoping that you will give these
questions some thought, I am
Your friend,
A. R. SANDERS.
SweetWater, Texas.
Ed Comment: I, also, believe that
the Federal Government should be
supported by a direct tax. If every
family could see just what enormous
indirect taxes it pays there would be
a revolution. Estimating the aver
age family as numbering five souls,
it pays, yearly, to the Federal Gov
eminent, about $4,000 tax and in
doing this, pays tribute of $4,000
to the manufacturers, over and above
a fair price for the goods bought.
In all, therefore, the Tariff costs
each family $4,000 per annum.

an INDEPENDENT CONGREGA-
TION.
TION

Dear Sir:-I have been reading
your JeffersOnians for nearly two
years, and have learned more from
them than from reading all other
papers for twenty years.
I have never voted in the National
elections because 1 could not vote
the Republican ticket, and would not
vote the Democratic. If I can find
out the way you vote from this time
on, I think there will be two votes
alike in old Georgia.
Your Foreign Mission articles are
fine. [ nearly got turned out of the
Baptist church because I did not be-
lieve in Foreign Missions; but I have
never given anything to them in my
life, and never will for that pur-
pose.
They have now put Mexico, Cuba,
Panama and the Isle of Pines on the
Home Mission Board, so that leaves
nothing for us but State work,-but
there is enough of that to keep us
busy as long as you and I live.

THE STATE TREASURY MIDDLE.


My Dear Sir: -Will you please do
the people of Georgia the kindness
to tell them why it is that there is
such a loud dispute about the condi-
ton of the State Treasury? The ad
ministration says it's financial status
is one thing, and the anti-adminis
tration people say it is another. The
Atlanta Journal says that there is a
surplus in the Treasury, and the Sa-
vannah Morning News says there is
a deficit. The books have been au
dited and still there is a dispute.
Why is it that figures tell one tale
for one crowd, and another tale for
another crowd? Why did not the
auditor know "where he was att
when he got through with the job?
We were able last night, when we
closed, to tell the exact status of our
bank: how much cash, how much
assets, how much liabilities, etc. If
we had not been able to do this, our
president would have thought that
something was wrong with our bank,
our directors would have thought so,
and everybody else who had heard
such news would have had the right
to think so. Really, we are some
what puzzled about this dispute over
the financial condition of the State
Treasury. We can't understand it.
Even the wool-hat boys are intelli-
gent enough to see that definite in
formation ought to be at hand on
this subject.
I write you at the request of some
friends with whom I discussed this
today, and we hope / have not in
truded on your valuable time.
Very truly,
SUBSCRIBER.
Wadley, Ga.
Your favor received. In my judg-
ment, the dispute over the condition
of the State Treasury is a question
of bookkeeping. If you charge up
against the actual cash on hand, the
obligations which must be met out
of it, there is no surplus: if you
mentally obliterate those overhang-
ing obligations, there is a surplus
That seems to be about the size of it,
Very truly yours,
THOS. E. WATSON.
