CALL COMES AT A BAD TIME
Catches Banks Short Because Of
Merchants Drafts.
HAVE MUCH MORE MONEY TODAY
BANKERS Say the Comptroller Gould
Not Have Picked n Worse Day
for Accounting Of Their
ReHourccs

Omaha banks were caught at bad time
when the comptroller issued his call for a
statement Of the banks at the close OF
business last Saturday. The total deposits
IN the banks was Si91j9.22f as against a
little over S530OOOoO on November 10. and
loans amounting to S3Ln922S are also
about sLOOO.OO0 less.
The Omaha National gave credit to the
first call made on II in It's new home by
showing itself to be in first place with
N0OtO.33i deposits Tho United states Ma
uonal pushed ahead OF the First National
p few hundred thousand. and took second
place in the ranking instead Of third. The
Union Stock Yards National 81 South
Omaha and the South Omaha National
had been united just before the call for
statements was made and the new bank,
called the Stock Yards National. made a
very creditable showing
~ Statements year ago in January were
made on January 81. and found the Omaha
banks fairly we'll fixed, better than the
1911 statements did
Omaha bankers declared with unanimity
that II the comptroller Of the currency
hunted the calendar through to pick a
worse day for a bank statement he could
not have done better or worse
The end OF the month is the day when
mercantile accounts are settled and mer-
chant after merchant OF omaha Saturday
drew drafts on New York OF Chicago tc
settle his bills. These bills were unusually
large because they represented holiday
trade Consequently deposits were greatly
depleted when the banks closed Saturday
at p. m.
To-day this and other banks have S4O0
900 more IN deposits than on Saturday
declared an official OF the Omaha National
This bank. the United states Nationa
and the First National, which are the tire,
largest banks Of the city We'd with on,
another in declaring this catches us a
bad day. We shall be way down the list
We are worse off than the other fellows.

DUNN AFTER THE BACK TAXES
Submits Plan of Compromise with the
Pacific Express Company,
OLD SUIT STILL HANGS FIRE
Has Been Tn Controversy for Eight
Years and Dunn Says He Looks
for settlement Before He
Leaves office.

Litigation between the city of Omaha and
the Pacific Express company over taxes
for the year 1902 will probably be settled
by compromise in the near future.
Assistant City Attorney I. J. Dunn. who
is representing the city, mas made sug~ s.
lions to Attorney Edison Rich, representing
the express company, whereby settlement
car. be effected.
The litigation arose in 1902, when holdings
of the Pacific Express company, whose
general offices were in Omaha, was as
sessed at S5,OOO,OOO. An injunction suit was
brought by the attorneys OF the express
company and n temporary injunction
granted, restraining the city from levyinS
on a IS, 10000 assessment.
The company claimed the amount was
unreasonable as II should not be made to
pay taxes on properties and franchises
which covered territory of twenty-five
states and the Dominion of Canada. Since
the injunction was granted the case has
! remained stationary
Wants to settle Litigation.
; AS Mr.. Dunn's term of office expires
! soon he wishes to get the litigation settled
! Attorney Rich now has the offer Of Mr.
( Dunn under advisement and a reply is an
! ticipated within a few days.
Mr.. Dunn has suggested that the entir'
earnings Of the express company for tina
year be taken as the basis on which to ar
rive at an amicable settlement
BY taking the entire earnings OF the com
pany and determining the intra state earn
ings, Mr.. Dunn contends that the interstat
earnings can be computed and in this wa
the value of the franchises of the compan
in the various states can be determined
Then 1t will be an easy matter to get a
the bottom Of the assessment differences
! according TO Mr.. Dunn.
"Once the value OF tho franchises ar
determined, It will be an easy matter [
regulate the assessment" said Mr.. Dunn
when the express companys holding
were assessed at $5,OOOOOO. the foreign hold
ings were estimated at 100000 In fact
] that was the amount the company was In
corporated for. That would leave $500 u
assesssble property and that was tn
| amount OF the assessment
The case has laid quiet so long that
is time for something to be done. The cit

another many yards In front. as in
earlier times he had led the heavy
brigade at Balaclava against three
times its numbers. To soldier of the
younger school 1t seemed a preposter-

a Fine SAVAGE Custom.

The untutored mind Of the Indian
or savage often appears strange to
us. but there is sometimes reason in
what at first sight seems eccentric. A
South African tribe has an effectual
method of dealing with bores, which
might be adopted by western people.
This simple tribe considers long
speeches injurious both to the orator
and his hearers. so to protect both
there is an unwritten law that every
public orator must stand on one leg
only when he is addressing an audi
