A LOCAL BUSINESS

The Supremn Court of the United
States has he'll that banking is most
safe when confined to the locality
where it's officers are known and
where they have personal knowledge
OF those with whom they do business.
This is doubiy true of the Building
& Loan business. Spreading out over
a large territory is menace to any
financial instit"tion
This Association confines its bust
ness to Knox county where it has the
means of knowing the persons to
whom it loans money and the value
of the real estate they offer as secur-
ity.
1t makes no effort to grow big and
spread out over other counties but
it seeks to 10 its work well and to
deserve the confidence of the people
OF this locality. We are glad to show
out customers all our securities.

TAKE ACTION ON
TARIFF MEASURES
House Agrees to Wool Conference
Report-Steel Bill
Passed.

The tariff programme of the session
was advanced yesterday IN both the
House and Senate. The House adopted
the conference report on the bill revising
the wool schedule by a vote Of 1eo to
s., twenty-four insurgent Republican,
voting with the Democrats in favor OF
adopting the report. The bill Is the
same one that passed Congress a year
ago, as the result of compromise be-
tween Senator La Toilette and the Demo-
Gratis. The conference report will be sub
mitted in the Senate at noon tomorrow
by Mr.. La Toilette, and 1t appears to
be generally conceded that 1t will be &C
cepted there, and then will go to the
President.
While the House was agreeing to the
wool BILL the Senate took the necessary
steps for sending to the President the
bill revising the metal schedule. BY
vote OF % to 2S. the Senate adopted
motion by Senator Simmons. Democratic
tariff leader, by which II receded from
the amendment II had added to the House
steel bin, providing for the repeal OF
the Canadian reciprocity bill.
There was q sharp debate preceding
the vote. Senator La Toilette was un-
able to deliver all Of his Progressive fol-
lowers in favor Of the compromise plan.
Senators Cummins. Borah. Bourne, and
Gronna broke away from his standard
and voted against surrendering the
Canadian reciprocity repeal.
There appears to be no doubt that
President Taft will veto both bills.

DEAF TO BRYAN's ADVICE.
Judiciary Committee VIII Not I'M
peach Judge HanfOrd.

William J. Bryan's declaration in the
Commoner that the House Democrats
should press the impeachment proceed
ings against Judge Fanford. of Seattle,
has been ignored by the Judiciary Com
mittee. which Is controlled by Demo-
Gratis.
The committee has decided to dismiss
the case. and accordingly will advise
President Taft that It sees no reason
why the President should not accept the
resignation OF Judge Hanford. received at
the White House some days ago. The
subcommittee which investigated the
Hanford case made a report to the full
committee yesterday. The subcommittee
urged that inasmuch as the only thing
to be gained by pushing impeachment
proceedings against Judge Hanford
would be to debar him from the priv
ilege Of being appointed to public office,
the wisest course to pursue would be to
allow him to resign. 1t was pointed out
that as Judge Hanford is sixty-four
years old. the possibility Of his ever be-
ing appointed to public ONCE again was
very remote. Members OF the committee
expressed the opinion that they did not
care to kick a man when he was
down." and would therefore favor letting
up on him.

SBAMEN MEASURE
PASSED In HOUSE
Wilson Bill Abolishes Involuntary
Servitude in Merchant
Marine.

The Wilson bill proposing ito abolish
the involuntary servitude imposed upon
seamen in the merchant marine Of the
United States" was passed yesterday
by the House of Representatives. The
measure has been under constellation in
the House for many months and has the
approval Of organized labor.
The Wilson bill relieves saamen from
criminal proceedings for violating a con-
tract to labor. leaving only the civil
process as remedy available to a per-
son or corporation that desires to proceed
against seamen. The bill practically
gives seamen the right to quit at the end
Of voyage. and to demand one-half the
wages due them. notwithstanding any
contract to the contrary.
According to the report on the bill. II
will accomplish three things-Firet. II
will give a freedom TO the sailor: second,
II will promote safety at sea: third. II
Will equalize the operating expenses OF
foreign and domestic vessels engaged in
oversee trade and tend to build up our
merchant marine. The Wilson bill now
goes to the Senate. Doubt is expressed
that II will be enacted into law at this
session. The bill has stirred up a good
deal Of controversy In the House. and
probably will be made the subject of ex-
tended debate in the Senate.
