forestall in their case the general ten
dency to the formation OF undue COM
binations and trusts The prohibition
should be so explicit that it's spirit as
well as its letter could be enforced.
We must prevent perpetually the con-
centration of the banking power in the
hands OF the few--a concentration
which under our present system is in
evitable by the mere operation Of fl
nancial evolution"
The new banking system, the secre-
tary of the treasury AYERS, must pro-
vide with distinctness and complete
ness ample banking facilities for the
foreign commerce of the United States,
which, with proper government en-
couragement he believes will be world
wide and world-varied.
Tt is idle to expect" he adds, that
we shall ever have a developed foreign
commerce without a developed foreign
banking system. Our present system
grew up in period Of isolation"
Specific Duties.
To a congress which is expected to
remodel some of the tariff schedules,
Mr.. MacVeagh urges from the stand
point of experience the establishment
OF specific duties, instead OF ad valor-
EN-, wherever the nature Of the article
involved makes that possible. He
says:
The practice of adopting ad valor-
EN- duties adds to the ease with which
legislation may be prepared; but that
] is it's only hopeful quality--and that
lonely quality has it's palpable draw
backs. AID valorem duties lead d.
rectly to the great majority of all the
frauds upon the revenues with which
the treasury department has to con-
tend; and they do all they can to drive
| honest importers out of business.
They add exceedingly to the expense
and responsibility of the administra-
ton and are responsible in largest
measure for whatever decentralization
exists In the importing and customs
business. Theoretically ad valorem
duties may have an appeal. but in
practice they are delusion and q
snare"
The principle of scientific revision
of the tariff Mr.. Macveagh continues
should be applied not only to the ques-
ton of duties, but also to classified
ton Of articles and the language OF
the law so there may be no doubt as
to the intent of congress. When the

ting on this subject is reduced to prac-

al saving OF useless expenditure is an
additional reason OF great weight FOR
the enlightened method OF tariff legis-
lation to which the best sentiment OF
the country has been looking forward
for more than quarter Of a century,
Mr.. Macveagh recommends the ap-
pointment of q commission. consisting
OF representatives OF congress and the
executive departments, to evolve a
budget system for the government
This is necesitated he says by the
widely scattered and disintegrated re-
sponsibilfties governing estimates, ap-
preparations and revenue
The abolition of all the assay offices
except the one at New York is urged
by the secretary. They cost the gov
eminent $1S5,o00 yearly, and THE
whole amount is thrown away" he
adds.
Declaring the work of rehabilitating
the customs service has been vigor-
ously prosecuted, the secretary says
that developments as to undervaIua-
tions and frauds continue to be most
impressive and to make it evident that
the end of the reform is not yet in
sight He hopes to complete the ref
ormation within year.
The customs districts are being re-
organized and the secretary announces
that he will ask congress later to
abolish considerable number of USE
less and expensive customs offices.
Other recommendations of Mr.. Mac
Veagh include. A contributory sys-
tenn of civil service retirement; trans
fer to the classified civil service Of a
number Of customs officials from coll
lector down; the imposition of the
nominal fee OF 81 for protests to the
board Of general appraisers in customs
assessments: extending the 800 ex-
emption from duty granted returning
residents to include articles for house
hold use, souvenirs, curios or gifts;
provision for at least two vessels a
year for the revenue cutter service;
authority for the use Of certified
checks in the payment Of all dues to
the government; revision of the sink
ing fund law so as to make it some
thing more than practically a dead let
ter; laws adequately prohibiting the
importation of opium and revision
Of the oleomargarine statute.

estimated expenditures Of $6s5,1S4, 56s.
With all the preliminaries for revis-
ing the financial system accomplished,
Mr.. MacVeagh declares there is no
reason to postpone action.
The tentative plan of the national
monetary commission. outlined by it's
chairman, former Senator Aldrich, he
says satisfies in its essentials the larg-
ser part of the expert opinion Of the ma
ton and is supported by the business
men. The secretary pledges the adj
ministration to do it's part in keeping
this financial issue wholly non-par-
tisan, believing that the result should
be the product Of both parties.
Guard Against Money Trust.
In the contemplated reorganization
OF the financial structure. Mr.. Mac
Veagh emphasizes tho absolute need
of prohibiting all banks, national and
estate. from holding stock in other
banks. as safeguard against any pos
@sible formation Of much feared mon
ey trust" in the future. He urges
equality of national and state banks in
doing trust company and saving bank
business.
I'VE must provide. and without res
ervation," he declares, "for a perfect
equality Of privilege and opportunity
between national and state banks.
State banks must have every advant-
age national banks have; and national
banks must have every advantage
state banks have. And this equality
can not be attained unless national and
state banks are on the same footing as
to trust company banking and as to
savings bank functions.
And 1t is indispensable that the
new law shall deny with great precis-
ION to any bank included within its
provisions, whether national or state
the right to own stock in any other
Independent bank. The law should
not fail to conclusively forbid such
ownership. There is no immediate
danger to be apprehended from such
holdings; but now is the time to pro-
tect for the future the independence
and individuality of the banks and tC

changed by the pardon board from life

nine years. We have an idea that
Remington Will be different man
when he again is given his freedom,
but that fact does not weigh for much
in the minds of people who knew his
victim and appreciate the terrible
wrong committed not only on Flett
but on his family. The pardon board
at its recent sitting made 1t possible
for about thirty convicted men to soon

great weight of opinion is against les

FIRES.

The fire department has had two
fires SO far this week to put out. The
first was on Monday morning when
the o. X. Restaurant took fire which
was easily extingushed with but lit
tie damage
The other call was about $3.50 last
night. The fire was in Klug's meat
market and bakery and booked for
while as if the entire coper would be
burned out. The blaze was between
the meat market and bakery when
the fire department arrived and they
had it under control in about five
minutes. The chemical and water
lines we're brought in from the east
end of the building as the wind was
in the east and in go minutes the fire
was all out. However, it did consider
able damage especially TO Rudy
Klug. He carried $3.50 insurance
on furniture and fixtures and $4,000
ON stock and win probably have a
total loss as the heat and smoke was
intense in his building and what was
not burned was badly damaged by
smoke and water. The Lotta roomint
and boarding house above had consid
cradle damage by heat and smoke,
covered by insurance. As there was
only board partition between the
meat market and Kinkel'S store, the
smoke, came through but the doors
were all opened and little damage wa
done. The building was owned by
Frank Ladenberger, ST., and suffered
some damage which was covered by
insurance.

good will and interest in the town by
