INCREASE ON TINE DEPOSITS
First National Pays Half Per Cent
More on Certificates.
KOUNTzE SAYS NO AGREEMENT
Maintains that individual Certifi-
Gates Are Different Propositions
from State and City
Open Deposits.

Something OF a controversy has arisen
among> the banks OF Omaha as to the per
cent to be paid on time deposits The de-
bated rates are per cent, which has been
paid by the Omaha banks for deposits for
a term Of one year, and sM per cent, the
proposed increase. The First National
bank has broken away and is now paying
S1A per cent on time deposits.
There is nothing in the nature OF an
agreement between the bankers In regard
to the interest to be paid" said c. T.
Kountze, president Of the First National
when interrogated In regard to the situa-
tion. The rates paid by this bank since
have been here have been changed prob
ably eight or nine times,'
No Relation between the Two.
The rate paid on state and city de-
posits has no relation to that paid to the
private deposition. The private depositor
gets no bond while we must give bond
to the state. Then, too. the interest of 81
per cent is paid only on deposits for at
least one year. Such deposits cannot be
Withdrawn in less time. and, on the other
hand, the state and city deposits are sub
ject to withdrawal at any time
Mr.. KOuntze declared that he did not be-
lieve that the increase Of a half per cent
in interest would have an appreoiabe et-
feet on the amount Of deposits.

COUNTY BOARDINHOTDEBATE
Request Of Organized Labor for An
other Inspector Turned Down.
GRANT CASTS DECIDING VOTE
Representatives OF Labor Express
Their Views end Commissioners
DO the Same in Warm
COnfab.

Request Of organized labor that an eddi-
tionsl inspector be placed upon the new
douglas county court house was denied
Saturday by the Board OF County Commis-
sioners By vote OF three to two follow
ing two hours Of hot debate between mem
bers of the board and representatives OF the
Central Labor union ana the Building
Trades council.
The vote came at noon Immediately fol-
lowing a telephone message summoning
Commissioner John Grant to his home
where It was said his father-in-law was
dying. Mr.. Grant was about to leave, but
at the request OF the other commissioners
stayed half a minute to vote. Had he not
done so there would have been no de-
cision. for his was one of the votes cast
against the srecial inspectorship. The
other two men voting similarly were Com
missioners Bedford and Picksrd. Fred
Bruning cast his vote the other way, ex-
planning that he thought the. request ought
to be referred to the architect. John O.
Troutan, who kept silent through tho de-
bate and did not explain his vote as did
all the others. cast the second ballot for
the inspectorship.
The question of inspectorship has been
before the board several times before and
no action taken. Saturday the delegation
Of labor men came, asking definite
answer and all members OF the board ex-
cept Bruning declared that the matter
ought to be settled one way or the other at
this time.
Labor Representatives Speak
A. ]. Donohoe, president Of the Central
Labor union, Frank Painter, business agent
for the Structural Iron Workers union,
and Dan Sullivan, president of the Build
ing Trades council, took q prominent part
in the debate on behalf OF the union men.
Early in the argument Commissioners
John Grant electrified the meeting by say
ing bluntly:
you gentlemen come here protesting to
bo interested as taxpayers in the good
construction Of the court house. You know
we'll that your object Is to get a union man
on as inspector and make trouble for the
contractors,
I'VE want to see the work done right"
returned Mr.. Donohoe.
Views similar to Grants were soon ex-
pressed by Commissioners Bedford and
Plckard and then came attacks on the
record OF Caldwell Drake by Frank
Painter and Dan Sullivan.
The question OF the construction OF the
Little Rock capitol building by this firm
was threshed over and Jeff w, Bedford OF
the board explained that he and the other
commissioners who had gone to Little
Rock had investigated the matter thor
oughly and found that Caldwell s. Drake
had been victims OF political attack.
The meeting adjourned with divergent
statements by Messrs Painter and Sulii-
van,
There's an election time coming" said
Sullivan, while Painter, who was in less
angry frame of mind. asked the commits
sioners to remember the iron workers on
the new bridge over the Platte"
I'VE can't specify in contract that
union labor shall do the work." declared
Commissioner Piokard. s1.
