to do 80, did it admit that the charges
were really true; and that then it
sought TO EXPLAIN instead of TO DENY
Mr.. Smiths offenses against his con-
stituents.
How weak and unsound the explain
atoms are, is shown in the foregoing.
The question of why Mr.. Smith
SHOULD ACTIVELY SUPPORT the Can
non-Aldrich machine and the Trusts
is of course hard one to explain to
those UPON WHOM TIE TRUSTS ARE
FATTENING. But unless Mr. Smith
can do this to the satisfaction of seve-
raj thousand outraged constituents, his
case is really in a bad, bad way.

Counsel Stephens and George. Argu-
ments were made by ]. ]. Darlington Of
the Commercial National Bank. Wilton
j. Lambert Of the National City Bank
and j. II. Ralston Of the Metropolitan
National Bank.
1t was commended that tax OH interest
should net be paid, because it has not
be the custom, and business interests
would ne interfered with were q change
maze. Mr.. Darlington cited the recent
bid for the $2,OOO,OOO Panama canal fund.
upon which the banks offered as high as
81 per cent interest on the theory of no
tax imposed upon them.
A further argument advanced was that
when the law was enacted it was explain
ed to the committee of Congress at hear
to include interest paid to depositors, and
the further fact that. in imposing tax
on bonding companies. Congress used the
words gross receipts instead of earnings.
Also ii was insisted by Mr.. Lambert
that the money SO paid depoSitOrs was
