BANKING PLANS.
Commissioners al Wash
ington for Conference,
Relationships Of the Proposed
Natl Reserve Association
Discussed with Plans Of Federal
Charters for State Banks.

Washington, March There was
much discussion of the relationship OF
state banks to the proposed national
Reserve Association at ii conference to-
day between the National monetary
Commission and the Currency Commits
sion Of the American Bankers Asso-
citation over the Aldrich currency bill
All the members of both the Monetary
and Currency Commissi ms appeared
to recognize the necessity of taking
care of state Institutions and a number
of suggestions were mado.
Tie plan which appeared to receive
the most favorable consideration was
one looking to bringing state banks
under federal charters. Ii was said
that this end might be accomplished by
broadening the privileges of the ma
tional banks. Under the present Jaw
these banks are not permitted TO loan
money on real estate or doing a saw
ings bank or trust business and it was
suggested that if these features could
be 2dded many of the STATE banks would
accept national charters III order to
obtain the added security which would
be assured by that step. Incidentally
there We're many references to the
postal savings bank system and there
was general concurrence Of opinion
that whatever be the outlook, the postal
system, in 50 far as bringing funds
out of hiding and into tie banks is
concerned, has not met all the expecta-
tions of seine OF its friends.
The committee also discussed the adj
Visibility of accepting bills of Iading
as security. Senator Bailey raised the
question of advisability of this portion
of the Aldrich plan, but the bankers
responded by saying that this course
in every way is fair and reasonable and
Is common throughout the civilized
world

GENERAL SITUATION.
Optimism in Advicss to Taft-Reyes
Called Home-Conferencc.

Washington, March 2S.--Advices received
by the state department today and con-
seycu to President Taft give a most hope
full view of the Mexican situation. 1t is
declared that in diplomatic circles in Mexico
City. the resignation of the old Daz cabine;
is expected to have better effect than has
been generally predicted
Another decidedly favorable feature of
the situation as viewed in Washington is
the fact that Gen. Bernardo Reyes is 10
be called home from Europe at an early
date to take up the portfolio of minister of
war in the new cabinet. Some surprise was
felt here and in Europe that President Daz
should have retained his old minister Of
war. Gen. Manuel Gonzales Cosio, in the
new cabinet. 1t was learned today. how
ever. that Gen. Cosos retrention is mere
Il temporary and that Gen. Reyes will soon
replace him.
According to the advices received here
tho new cabinet carries great hope with it
because OF the fact that the members have
been selected for their ability, their youth
and their freedom from any alliances con-
nected with the old reign.
President Taft had an opportunity today
TO talk over the Mexican situation gener-
ally with several members OF the Senate
committee on Foreign Affairs. There was
nc set conference on the subjcc', but Chair
man Culom and Senators Clark of Wyom-
ing and Smith of Michigan were among the
White House callers. Senator Lodge, also
member of the Foreign Affairs committee,
called, but the President had previously
talked with him.

STATE INCOME TAX.

The House of Representatives of the
Maine Legislature Tuesday afternoon
by vote of 81 to IS refused to ratify
the income tax amendment to the Fed
eral constitution and Immediately
adopted and passed to its second read
ing a bill providing for a State tax on
incomes of $4,000 or more. The vote
came after a debate, which started
near the close of the forenoon session
and was resumed at 2.3O P, NJ. and con-
tinued until nearly p. NJ. without Il
dull minute.
The line was sharply drawn between
those who believed that Maine needs
every cent she can get by any method
of taxation whatsoever and We're will
ing TO disregard party pledges on that
account and the members who believed
that no situation had arisen and no
new light had been shed on the sub
iect, which could justify anyone in
disregarding the party platforms. The
Republican and Democratic parties i'll
their State conventions held in June of
last year in Augusta had both declared
i'll favor of the proposed Federal in
come tax and frequent allusiOn to that
fact was made by the speakers on both
sides of the debate.
The State income tax bill which was
passed, was drafted accordingly 10
suggestions made to the taxation com
mittee by Former Senator Harold NJ.
Sewall of Bath, who was an interested
spectator of the debate. The bill pro-
vides for a tax of So 80 ON an income of
$4,000 and is gradually increased up to
= per cent. on an income of $50 1000.
