UNITED STATES BANKING CON-
PANY IN MEXICO CITY PAYS
OUT MANY PESOS.
BANK SUSPENDED FROM CLEAR
ING HOUSE FOR FAILURE TO
MAKE SETTLEMENT.

MEXICO CITY, Jan 25.-The
United States Banking company was
suspended tonight from the clearing
house upon it's failure to make a set
tlement of today's business BY
special arrangement the bank was
given until $50 tomorrow morning to
make good it's deficit. which is said to
amount to 400, 000 pesos.
An official of the bank tonight ad-
mitted that the Bank of Montreal had
telegraphed from it's Canadian head
quarters to it's branch here giving in
structions not to advance any further
funds to the United States Banking
company
M. Elsaser, vice president of the
United States Banking company, said
that it was doubtful if the bank would
open its doors tomorrow. At the same
time he said that there was a posi-.
bility of making arrangements over
night to continue business He ex-
pressed the belief that the bank would
pay every depositor in full.
From 10 o'clock in the morning I'M
til APO this afternoon, except for
lull of an hour at midday, anxious
depositors crowded the lobby of the
institution and five paying tellers were
kept busy.
The bank honored every check. and
it is estimated unofficially that fully
100000 pesos We're withdrawn.

of the Mexico branch of the Bank of

placed in charge of the United States
Banking company, tonight refused to

they had been tackled up.
The crowd began to assemble half
an hour before opening time. When
the bank opened there was crush
about the paying teller's windows
which soon increased to such an ex-

bookkeepers and receiving tellers

August, when the new tobacco tax was
impending, they laid in a stock for six
months, which is. of course, not yet
run out. The fact also explains the
failure of the manufacturers hitherto
to bring about normal prices among
retail tobacconists, and it will not be
until the close of the year that regu-
lar factories will be established.

the inside, in my opinion stands the
best chance of being the democratic
standard bearer in 1912. Why? Be-
cause he is the one of all those who
have been mentioned who could come
nearest to receiving the support of all
elements of the party. You can quote
me as standing pat for Champ Clark.
| am not alone
In these words Rep. Thomas M. Bell
of Georgia democratic whip of the
house of representatives, added impet-
us to the Champ Clark presidential
boom, which, it develops, is being
pushed quietly but steadily in many
quarters.
Clark is the only man / can think
of on whom all democrats can unite, .
continued Mr. Bell. "And that will be
the real test applied to each and every
aspirant: Can you command the sup
port of all?
Clark stands four square to all the
winds that blow. He is always a dem
ocrat. always regular, and is absolute
" unsophisticated so far as knowing
the meaning of any kind of political
deal with corporations is concerned.
So anxious has the minority leader al
ways been to keep himself free from
corporation faint that he has never
used one of the telegraph franks that
are extended to congressman to en-
able them to send dispatches free of
charge, nor has he ever accepted free
railroad transportation.
If the next mouse is democratic,
as now seems likely, Clark will De
speaker. AS speaker he will give the
right of way to a lot of progressive
legislation that Speaker Cannon has
held up for so long This will bring
the Missourian into the limelight, and
that is all. in the opinion of his
friends, that will be necessary to i'm
press his availability as democratic
standard bearer upon the people.

Gratis must have candidate in 1912
who has always been regular. We can
not elect a man who was irregular and
failed in supporting any recent nomi-
nee of the party, no matter whether it
was Bryan or Parker. Champ Clark
has always abided by the will of the
majority. He supported Bryan loyal
ly, and not only supported Parker, but
presided with absolute fairness in the
st. Louis convention that nominated
the distinguished New Yorker and was
chairman of the notification commit
tee.
CLARK, as | said, has no underground
entanglements or alliances. Everybody
knows exactly how he stands on every
question, and where he can be found

Ocrat and always regular, and l could

the party any higher compliment. He

ly surprised a few years later, when
Gladstone denied a place in the Abbey
to the memorial of the unfortunate
Prince who died solder of England.
However, was at that time an ar
dent admirer of Gladstone. / heard him
several times in the house of commons
and 1 followed him, step by step, from
platform to platform, during the cleo
tions of 1874. And, though / knew we'll
on what grounds the country had with
drawn her confidence from the liberal
government, I could not help wonder
ing at the sudden fall of the man who
had done such service to his country.
When l recapitulated all the great
measures passed during his five years
tenure of office-the disestablishmen;
of the Irish church, the education act,
the ballot bill, the abolition of pur-
chase in the army, besides the care
fully elaborated and tremendously
balanced budgets which had done so
much to reduce the cost of living to
the poorer classes-I thought that such
an administration amounted to a COM
plete revolution, but to a revolution
without bloodshed, without violence to
person or to property. Before Gladstone
democracy in England was only a name
and dream; he had shaped in into
existence; he had made it living
force and reality.
Now looking at his whole career
after long lapse of years, it appears
to me that under his guidance a great
transformation took place in public
life. He found his party when he en-
tered it "a liberal party, and left it,
when he retired, in the hands of the
radicals.
Radical by Instinct.
1 think that like many other great
men, he was under the curious delus-
ion that the political and social evolu-
ton would stop, where he had stopped
himself. AT all events, he was fitted
to lead his party, through successive
stages, he was himself a liberal by
principle, but a radical by instinct and
temperament.
His authority was decidedly a per-
sonal authority. He dominated this
country by virtue of his prestige,
which was growing with the progress
of years and made sacred halo
around the imposing and venerable
figure, till at last the great political
magician was near hypnotizing Eng
land into accepting the disruption of
the Union, solely to please "The Grand
Old Man.
Such is the temper of democracies,
old and new. They are not stirred by
formulas and arguments; they are led
by men, and by men only Gladstone
was one of those heroes of modern
democracy.

CORPORATION TAX
LAW IS DEFENDED
Solicitor General Files Governments
Brief in Supreme Court-In Reply
To Is Appeals.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-the
brief of the government in the cor
poration tax cases was filed in the SUI
preme court today. IL was prepared
by Solicitor General Lord Bowes IN
response 10 the Is defendant appeals
against the imposition of this tax.
The appeals came from miscellaneous
companies, Insurance companies, pub
tic service corporations and real
estate corporations and the solicitor
general specifically considers each or
these classes.
His argument is that the tax is not
a direct tax upon the property real
or personal of the corporations. He
SAYS the tax is an excise upon the
Carrying on or doing business by
such companies and therefore needs
apportionment among the states &C
cording to population under the con-
stitution. Neither, IL is argued, is
the tax a direct tax upon the shares
of the stockholders nor upon their In
come from their shares. IL denied
that the tax becomes direct tax In
the special case OF company en-
gagged in dealing in real estate. Realty
companies have made a strong plea
on this point II is further denied
that the tax Is an infraction on the
general power OF the states TO author
ize the formation of corporations and
Joint stock companies.
Contending that the business or
puhlic service corporations, such as
railroads, street railways, telegraph.
lighting and power companies, Is not
intrinsically an operation OF the state
which created the comuany, IL Is
further held that the United Statev
may tax even a business conducted
for or by a state itself. IL Is held that
the income received by company
from state and municipal bonds Is to
be included In the computation OF It's
net incomes.
An important part OF the argument
for the government is that the tax as
an excise is uniform, in accordance
with the constitution and that II does
not take property without process OF
law.
II 8 further argued that none OF the
special rules prescribed by the law
concerning exemptions Of computa-
lions of the tax produces any lack OF
necessary uniformity.
The solicitor-general declares no
company is subjected TO any unreason'
able search or censure. nor Is improp-
erly required TO incriminate Itself by
any of the provisions of the law. He
argues that the tax could be properly
collected this year although measured
by the net income Of the tax paying
