THEY WANT BRYAN
MEMPHIS OFFERS HIM GREAT IN.
JUDGMENTS TO COME.
The Great Commoner Tells People
From Tennessee City That He Must
Remain at Lincoln.

Remain at Lincoln.
A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the New York World says the
assertion is made here that Memphis
is willing to put up a million dollars
to induce William Jennings Bryan to
take up his abode and publish the
Commoner there.
A year ago a movement for a
greater Memphis was started, ano
today delegation Of leading citizens
came to Washington to extend an in
vitation to the thrice defeated can
didate for President to move to their
city and make it his future home.
Mr.. Bryan said he had no inten-
tion Of leaving Lincoln, Neb., except
for his farm in Texas, but the Ten
nesseeans insist they are going to
get him, and on Thursday will enter
tain him at a luncheon and tender
him their formal invitation.
Another Washington dispatch says
William Jennings Bryan Thursday
told the committee sent by the cit
izens of Memphis to invite him TO
make his home in that city that he
could not accept. The invitation was
extended at a luncheon given Mr..
Bryan by the committee.
Judge James M. Greer of Mem
phis, chairman of the committee, as
POSTMASTER presented the Memphis
idea. He was followed by Senators
Gordon of Tennessee, Representative
Lea and Taylor and Representative
Sisson of Mississippi and Robinson
Of Arkansas and Duke C. Bowers Of
memphis. They begged Mr.. Bryan to
come where "the people loved him;
where he would find friends"
Mr.. Bowers said he felt sure that
Memphis would easily raise $2,000,-
900 if that would be any inducement
to Mr.. Bryan to live in his city.
Mr.. Bryan replied that it was not
money consideration, and that II
he looked at it in that light, he would
not be worthy Of such an invitation.
He said he knew he had friends in
the South who would stand by him
and that was why they did not need
him there; they needed him more il
the North. Suggesting that he shoulu
not be on one edge of the country,
he said, his home at Lincoln IL al
most the center OF the country and
only about two days ride to any Sec.
tion where he might be needed TO
help fight for the cause of Dem ocracy.

opment such as Salt Lake City never
had before. and such as few cities in
the world of like population have ever
enjoyed. Public Improvement has kept
hand in hand with private building aud

anew, so that those who come to see
us after m absence of more than six
years arc amazed at the tremendous
progress which they sec has been made.
Salt Lake City, in view of the great
building programme so fully detailed,
can challenge comparison with any
city in the United States for building
activity and substantial progress; and,
AS long as the cntcrprisiug element of
fidence can be had in the continuance
Of this splendid progress, which means
so much for the growth Of the city in

NOT SUBJECT TO TAX.

The Attorney General of the State
of New York is quoted in the dis
patches as saying that moneys on de-
posit in the postal savings banks are
subject to State taxation. In render
ing this opinion the New York official
undertakes to make discrimination
against postal savings banks deposi-
tors in favor Of depositors in State saw
ings banks, by saying that the latter
are protected by the New York stat
ute. while the postal savings deposi
tors are not This decision, however.
is not only ridiculous in law, but i'm
practical in effect; for there will be no
way to require the postal savings bank
depositors TO be known, nor the
amounts of their deposits, The very
purpose and idea Of the postal savings
bank was, that the depositor would be
protected from all levies of this kind,
and would be assured in the secrecy
and immunity of their deposits. which
are made by law exempt from court
process, Undoubtedly if an attempt
were made to collect taxes in New
York or any other State from savings
bank depositors. an order would go
out through the postoflice department
to all postmastcrs to make no return to
the State officers whereby taxation
could be levied. But, even without such
an order, and even if the deposits were
snnVyu tbara tr-nniH ha %, at
at the money. For. every depostor
could leave standing order when
making his deposit. that he wanted the
money applied to the purchase of a T.
s bond. It is likely enough that de
positors would do this any way, since
thereby they would get 219 per cent in
terest on the bond in place of per
cent If the money were merely left on
deposit And, since bond is unques.
tionsbly free from taxation, il would
be the easiest thing in the world 10
avoid tax on the deposits by making
those deposits take the form Of bonds
from the first,
II is singular indeed that the New
York Attorney General could not see
the force Of the dilemma. and avoid
getting himself into the awkward posi-.
tion of making a ruling like that: for.
what IS the sense in making a ruling
that taxation may be levied in 4 case
like this when there IS no practicable
way to enforce the collection of the

undoubtedly make short work of that
opinion. by declaring that New York
should make no such distinction favor
ing State savings banks depositors that
the Attorney General of that State
seeks to make as against postal banks
depositors
On tho merits Of the ease also re arc
convinced that the Federal courts will
rule against that sort of decision on
the main question. We believe that.
according TO precedent and analogy in
other cases, the postal savings doposi-
tors would be free from taxation on
the central ground that there would he
