PEARL FISHING
SEASON PROSPECTS
This Year is Going to be Another
Prosperous One For the
Men.

According To w. r. Ankeny, OF
Bellevue. Iowa. who is an authority
on pearls and travels extensively, of
ten to foreign lands, selling pearls
the 1911 pearl fishing season will net
! as large returns as that of the past
year. And in 1910 the dig river gave
up more fresh water pearls than ever
before. said Mr.. Ankeny, Most of the
profitable pearl fishing will be in the
upper Mississippi river, however
Mr. Ankeny attributes the 1910 III
crease in fishing to the low stage of
water in the Mississippi river during
the entire season. Judging from
weather reports and forecasts, and re-
ports that northern tributaries are not
contributing the usual volume OF
water to the mother stream, the pearl
expert believes he has not erred in
predicting continued low Ns,er in the
season opening.
The past season, says Mr. Ankenv,
brought to light much information that
will prove invaluable to this years
clam fisheries. Because of the shall.
lows many rich clam beds that in
former Years were not discovered be
cause of the great depth Of the water,
were fished out and Welded rich re-
turns in pearls While the river was
unusually low, the fishers drafted
charts which located the unfished beds
and knowing the exact location of the
bi-valves, the pearl seekers expect to
have no trouble in Keeping busy this
season
Strange to say. few extraordinary
or rare pearls were found along the
river last year, despite the fact that
the market was flooded with bushels
of white gems from the Mississippi
Many worth several hundred dollars
We're marketed by clam-diggers OF
Muscatine, Winona and La Crosse
but few brought as much as 81, o0G to
$4,000 as has been the case in other
seasons.
Notwithstanding his declaration that
there are still rich fields for the pearl
fisher, Mr.. Ankenv says that stats
TICS gathered in 1910 prove that the
industry is on the wane in the lower
river. The fertile fields of years to
come are located between ST Louis
and ST Paul. Last year Muscatine
diggeFs were the biggest harvesters
of the shelly eoncretions
But reports of last years great pearl
harvest should not lead the seeker of
good pearls to be mislead into think
ing that he will be able to procure
good gems at lew prices, says the ex.
pert for good pearls were scarce last
year and most likely will be this seas
on. 1t is true that pearls of inferior
grade are cheaper than ever before.
Mississippi river pearls said Mr..
Ankeny, will go to all sections of
the globe this year Some of the
greatest salt water beds have peter
ed out, and as the Mississippi river

BANKS WANT WANT A
DEFINITE BASIS
day Iowa Eankers Ask for a
Definite System OF
Taxation.
THE PRESENT TENDENCY
Rerryhill OF Des Moines Says Presens
Bill VIII Cause Financial
institutions to Decrease
Stock.

A definite basis of taxation of
bank, loan and trust company stock
was asked OF the house committee on
ways and means the other afternoon
by the bankers of the state. The
representatives of Iowa banks ap-
peared before the committee Tor i
hearing on the ways and means com
mittee bill prohibiting the deduction
OF debts in the assessment of the
stock of the banks and loan and trust
companies.
A delegation OF $50 representative
bankers OF the state met in the
morning and drafted resolution con-
corning the committee bill. AS they
expressed themselves in the hearing.
they are willing TO stand for the re-
peal of the law providing for the de-
duction of debts in assessment if the
legislature will pass a bill providing
for definite basis OF taxation.
They ask that tax of per cent
be assessed on the stock of banks.
This system, they believe will pro-
duce as much. If not more, revenue to
the state than the present law and
will be an inducement to bankers to
increase the capital stocks of their
institutions.
AS introduced by the senate commit.
tee on ways and means, the bill will
come up before the senate today.
Important amendments to the meas
ure will be presented then.
James G. Berryhill of Des Holmes
made strong argument for the bank
ers during the hearing. He urged the
amendment to the bill which has been
recommended by the bankers.
II you pass the bill as it now
stands you will cause every bank in
the state to decrease its capital in
stead of working to increase it, said
Mr.. Berryhill. THE bankers will at
tempt to do as much business on a
small capital as possible If you pass
the measure we suggest you will slim
ulate instead of decrease the banking
business of Iowa.
w P. Manley, a prominent banker
OF Sioux City, and Senator Weber
also spoke in favor of the amendment

ASHER KINDS TURN NOW.

Few men have ever gone into Congress more
admirably equipped than will Representative
Asher Kinds of Maine. Since Tom Reed presid.
ed over the House as Speaker Mr. Kinds has
served as parliamentaran OF the lower branch
of the national legislature His has been a
thankless and unremunerative Job Last year
he wearied of abuse, and the title clerk at the
Speakers table," went out on the hastings and
told the people he had inside information which
would make him good congressman and talked
30 convincingly that he was elected
When the Sixty-frst Congress has gasped its
last expiring breath Mr. Kinds will become a
fuilfedged congressman and thus be equipped 10
even some Of the scores OF long standing against
members of the House. AS parliamentarian he
was compelled to interpret the rules of parla.
mentary procedure one way or another. and it
was an eternal certainty that whichever way he
decided the intricate or involved conundrum, he
would make enemies and have uncomplimentary
things said about him The congressman who
raised hairsplitting points for the corrugation
of the Kinds brow were not slow about paying
their respects to him when he coached the
Speaker on the rules, and the result was that the
parliamentarian began to cast about for relief.
His salary was paltry $4,000. and 1t was his
daily duty to look out unon a sea of 81 Zoo faces
In many Of which he saw no single CLEAN of par.

WEALTHY VIRGINIA AND >1ReuNIANs.

That Virginia and her people are in more
prosperous and hourishing financial condition
than ever before in their history is shown by
the statement prepared by the Banking Division
of the State Corporation Commission of the
financial status of the 243 State banks on Janu
airy 7th, when call issued by the Treasu
rer OF the United States. 1t is doubtful II any
State virginias size can boast of such a splen
did financial standing.
The Banking Divisions statement but partial
ly reflects the signs of the times because IL does
not include the scores of national banks and
private banking corporations in Virginia Were
these institutions embraced In the report, Vir-
ginia would be found to have a most appreciate
and enyiabIe lead many States double her
size
Some idea of the progress Virginia and the
South are making is indicated in the statement.
The splendid total of 6,924 29574 in resources
is shown for the State banks alone. The 243
State banks have a surplus fund totaling
$4.704152,33 and undivided profits aggregating
| sl,s60,2S2.5 Sc. Banking is truly paying prop
osition in the Old Dominion. As an evidence of
the fact that the people are making money much
on the order of hand over fst" individual de-
posits subject to check amounting to s23.904.
S95 are shown in the statement Perhaps better
than all else in the report however, is the item
of s13617 ,47s.29. representing tho savings de
poslts in only the State banks which tells of the
individual thrift and trend toward financial in.
dependence.
The statement attests the fact that the State
banks enjoy the confidence and patronage of a
large per cent. of Virginians with money The
total deposits OF all the banks In the State on
January 1st was s137,443,000, and the State
banks are seen 10 have almost one4haif Of this In
their keeping. This is due In large measure
perhaps. to the fact that the last Legislature
passed a set Of State Banking laws, and the yir-
ginta institutions under the same supervi.

rass the Democrats, If they be sincere In their
promise OF a downward revision No more safe
guard for the Republican principle of protection
will be afforded than that for downward revi'
sion. because the commission Will he composed
Of Democrats and Republicans alike, and be non

The Senate has long delayed action on the
tariff commission bill. which passed in the House
with full Democratic approval and a stubborn
filbuster was conducted against it to the last by
Senators Stone and Overman. but on the eve OF
adjournment of the Sixty-irst session the leg
islators realize that the measure will remain in
Congress until favorahly acted upon, and they
might as we'll dispose of it now.
As has so often been said, the commission will

be made known by the commission, because that
