Claimed This Plan Would Be
Easiest Way of Fulfilling
Pledges.
REPUBLICANS WILL PROTEST
May Ask Hearings on Many IF
the Schedules in Order to
Block Wholesale
Revision.

Washington, Nov. 17--The form that
tariff revision is TO take before the spc-
cial session of congress next spring ha $
Nccome a matter of individual opinion
among democratic senators and congress-
men now here.
Many members now favor a general
bill, covering many or all schedules of
the tariff law to he framed. as u partial
or complete substitute for the Payne
Aldrich law. Those who advance this
plan claim 1t would be the spccdicst way
of fulfilling tariff pledges. Others favor
combining in a single bill those measures
passed during the last two years but
vetoed by President Taft and the rrepar-
q don of other single SEIZED bills to fol-
low this measure.
Unless the plan to revise the entire
tariff law ia single bill should be
adopted It is believed democratic lead
crs will urge tho calling of the specia I
session before April Is. That date was
set by President-eect Wilson as the
latest upon which he would assemble
the new congress. Democrats now here
believe the new House can begin work
in March, soon after the present adj
mnistration retires from power, and be
organized and ready for tariff lcgisla-
ton early in April.
1t is expected that short hearings will
be ri, on by the House ways and means
committee to industries vitality affected
by proposed tariff changes. The extent
of these hearings. according to deIno-
cratic members OF the House. who favor
them. will not he such as To interfere
with early action on the tariff bills.
Senator Gore to-day expressed the
, opinion that the entire tariff revision
should he concluded before next July, per-
mittjng the inauguration Of the new
schedules with the beginning of the fs-
cal year July |. To secure perfect cooper
alton between House and Senate. Senator
Gore said he proba bly, would suggest a
Joint steering committee of members of
the two houses to act together during
the approaching short session. In the for
mutation of tariff measure for the cx-
ira session.
I'm that way" he said. we could
insure the drawing of a bill that
would receive the support of both
Houses from the start, saving the loss
of much time in subsequent confer
ences"
1t is not the purpose of the repub-
licans to allow the democratic pro-
gram to he put throughout without
rcmonstrance. They will ask hear
ings on many of the schedules and re-
publican Senate leaders expect to be
able to make effective opposition in
many instances.

INDIAN WARFARE.
Clusters Last Fight and the Fight of

1t was Charging Hawk. former
Sioux scout. who first told of an unex-
plained incident of the Custer fight. His
father had been in the fight, and from
him as well as from many others Charg-
ing Hawk had heard the praises OF the
bravest man they ever saw. He was a
long-haired man who fought so we'll that
he won both the admiration and fear OF
hts Indian opponents The father OF
Charging Hawk came up with the second
band to attack. The chief of the tribe,
riding out of the melee to get a fresh
horse, shouted to the oncoming war;
riors:
olive horses to the man who kills
Long Hair"
Wounded again and again, the white
man kept on lighting until he fell. and
the Indians missed not a single one of
his brave acts. 1t was never known
who killed him. No record has been
found on him among the whites, and no
one knows his name. but the fame of his
exploits has been handed down as a
heritage from father to son among his
foes.

the fight. just as the last white man
went down. The Indians first saw the
animal running around among the horses
with a bundle of papers tied To its coll

chase, but could neither catch nor XIII
It, For twenty miles they chased It,
and then lost track. What was on those
papers? Were they Government docu-
ments or the last letters of a soldier 10
the folk back home? 1t remains one Of the
unsolved mysteries of the West.
one of the shortest hardest fights OF
the frontier was that known as the 'Dobe
Walls Fight, between the Indians and
the buffalo hunters north OF the Pan
handle. No one knows when the 'Dobe
Walls We're built. but an enterprising
trader reaching the heart of tho buffalo
land nNed them up as a trading post, and
there the hide hunters bought their sup

all the stories which have been told OF

THE HYDE PARK BANK AND
OUT.OF-STATE LOANS.

At meeting at Montpelier,
October 80, the Farmers Club
listened to a speech by Hon John
II. Senter, who volunteered for
the edification of the Club this
statement:
"The Hyde Park Banl; says it
.loes not loan outside OF Vermont,
but it deposits money outside the
State
SO much has been said in regard
to the attitude Of the Hyde Park
Bank--some truthful, some other
wisc-that perhaps an authorita-
tive statement may interest our
readers.
The bank makes this broad
statement
That, aside from funds deposit
ed on call in New York or Boston,
this bank has never loaned dol
lar since its organization except
ON Vermont security or on paper
guaranteed by frst-cla Yer
mont name or names. If does
not decline to receive out-of- State
collateral if it believes the home
name is good.
1t makes every effort to place
its idle. or so-callod "caIl money"
with Vermont banks rather than
out of-State banks; but every
bank. so far as we ever knew,
keeps a part of its idle money in
those reserve cities authorized by
Section 1863 Of the Vermont Sta.
tutcs. But this bank has never
made deposits West or South even
under this statute. but confined
them to cities III New England
and New York.
1t has been the policy Of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank always
to keep financially strong so that
1t might at any time respond TO
any call upon it by any Yer
monter, and it has to-day on hand
and on deposit "on call" in Bos-
ton and New York and in loans
to Vermont banks $2sO.273.37.
Within the last 90 days this
bank has said to practically every
savings bank in Vermont: eve
prefer to keep our deposits in
Vermont rather than in New
York and Boston Banks. and if
You can use the money of this
bank at per cent, we shall be
glad to place it with YOU"
From the suggestion of Mr.. Sen
ter the inference could be fairly
drawn that the Hyde Park Bank
was Indirectly loaning money out
side the State through this prac-
tee of making deposits outside
the State. What else can he mean

Of making loans outside the State
is entirely gratuitous.
The Hyde Park Bank courts in.
vestigation by everybody, whether
they are interested as dcpositors
or otherwise; and the bank is
more than pleased that Mr.. Sem
YER has given it an opportunity to
bring to the public's notice tho
fact-for it probably is fact
that the Hyde Park Bank carries
a larger percentage of its assets
con call. - and where it can put
its hand upon them at a moment s
notice, than any other bank in the
State. In no other way could this
bank be so powerful a factor in
the financial affairs of the State.
In no other way could it be pre-
pared to respond TO all calls, large
or small, not only from individuals
but from its neighbor Vermont
banks. There are very few banks
in Vermont that do not under
stand that if in need of funds to
take care of their customers they
can come to the Hyde Park Bank
and will probably get the money.
This may not always be true;
but there has not been day in
the last four years when the Hyde
Park Bank has not been in condi-
ton to respond, and has respond
ed, to every call of this kind from
its neighbor banks.
1t costs the bank something in
loss Of interest to do this, for
there hash t been a time for years
that If could not send the same
money West and get from 6 to 8
per cent. But it is entirely salts
fed and content to do business as
it is now doing, because its phe-
nomenal growth shows that it's
action is appreciated by the good
people Of Vermont.
Its average deposits have ex-
ceeded its Withdrawals for every
day in the last five years, barring
Sundays and holidays, 5000 per
day.
The Bank returns its thanks tos
Mr.. Senter for giving this oppor-
tunity through the columns of
the News and Citizen to state itss
position fully and explicitly,
