The annexation Of Cuba by the United
States and the admission Of sugar and
other products free of duty to this coun-
try We're advocated before the Overman
lobby committee yesterday by Senator
William Alden Smith of Michigan. He
said he always had been opposed to
Cuban reciprocity, but after annexation
he would favor the free admission OF her
products on the theory that eventually
large consuming population would ex-
ist in Cuba which would give the islGnd
economic independence from the con.
sumption of sugar in the United States
Senator Smith said he meant no criti
cism of the present government there
However. he said. he would vote for an
nexation tomorrow IL he had a chance.

Washington and always will be and I
think there ought to be-" said Senator
Smith. He insisted that every one has
the right to attempt to influence legisla-
ton II ne Is respectful and honest He said
that he had been 'lobbied" all his life.
He mentioned John Norris as represent
ing the newspaper lobby.
Mr.. Norris wants free print paper"
said Senator Smith. II own a newspaper
and am opposed. I guess I am more of
a protectionist than a newspaper man"
He said that labor unions, seamen, pot
terry interests and the sugar people MAIN
tained lobbeies. That "the citrus fruit
people ought to II they don't" and that
in all his experience as a legislator he
had never attempted to do anything i'm
.portant that he did not find a lobby
seeking to influence him.
AS long as they are respectful. am |
glad to give them a hearing. I don't !

The Munsey Trust Company
And That 40 Interest Rate

cent rate on checking accounts and four-per-cent
rate on savings accounts.
Furthermore, it initiated system of figuring
interest that brings f1measure interest to the de-
positor 1t initiated the daily balance plan of gr
ing interest, which means computing interest on
the average balance in the bank for calendar
month"; instead of computing interest on the lowest
days balance in the month There is an enormous
difference between these two systems.
And it initiated as we'll the fairest and squarest
and most liberal plan for savings deposits ever de-
vised and put in force in any community anywhere
in the world
The establishment of The Munsey Trust Com
pany is therefore the best thing in banking sense
that has ever happened to the people of Washing
ton-the people of Washington who have bank
account, whether checking account or savings ac-
count.
And the establishment of The Munsey Trust
Company will, in the end, prove to be the best
thing for the best banks of the city.
Itmeans simply this, that the innumerable little
banks little in capital and some of them little in
volume of business cannot meet the new conditions
inaugurated by The Munsey Trust Company and
do business proftably. The overhead charges, COW
erng rent, heat, light service, officers, and clerks,
aggregate too large a sum to be borne by small
business working on small margin of profit. And
the small margin of profit inaugurated by The
Munsey Trust Company has come to stay.
The logic of the situation is that all banks in
direct competition with The Munsey Trust Com
pany will have to meet the interest rates of The
Munsey Trust Company and will have to square
themselves to the methods of figuring interest put
in force by The Munsey Trust Company.
One word more, Mr.. Depositor, concerning our
interest rates. If the time ever when find
that four per cent is interest than we should
pay on savings accounts and that three per cent is
more than we can pay on checking accounts, You
may rest assured that we shall know it first.
And you may rest assured, too that we shall
have the courage to square the interest rates of
The Munsey Trust Company to changed condi-
tions, whether it means bigger or smaller rates.
The one thing beyond all else that The Munsey
Trust Company stands for is safety.
It cannot be fancied by any intelligent person
that would lend my name to a banking house and
have that banking house do business on unsafe
lines. My ambition for The Munsey Trust Com
pany is that it shall become great powerful bank
here in the National Capital bank that will be
of great usefulness to the whole community.

self-propelled vehicle using the public
highways in interstate commerce the
license shall be recognized by all other
States, Districts. or Territories and no ad-
ditional fee be required of the operator.
The Washington herald., 1913-06-18

The four-per cent rate of The Munsey Trust
Company on savings accounts has created lot of
discussion in Washington banking circles The
comments, in the main, that we cannot pay four
per cent and live and that four per cent is not a
safe rate
Comments of this nature, made by competing
banks paying a less rate of interest, are exactly
what we should expect. They mean nothing. Money
is now, and has been for many months, loaning at
very high rate of interest. No time money is being
loaned at less than five per cent, and most banks
are getting much six per cent-some even
more.
My contention is that the small depositor
should share in this high price for money in the
way of bigger interest the money he has in bank
Let me ask these bankers who criticise our big
ger interest rate to depostors how much profit they
think they should make on the depostors' money!
Do they want to make margin of three or four per
cent profit? If so is such a margin necessary in
the interest of safety-in the interest of good
banking and is it giving the depositor his share'
Let me say to you, Mr. Depositor that such
margin is not necessary in community where
banking is conducted on right lines.
Washington banks are now, and have been for
long CIne, paying lie peHdlIy ol ldlse ecouoHuC
theory, theory that has brought into the banking
field two or three times too many banks for the
city This excessive competition has worked alike
to the disadvantage of the people of the town and
to the banks themselves.
It has required so little capital on which to
start bank, and so little volume of business on
which to live, operating on the big margin of profit
plan, that banks here in Washington have sprung
up like mushrooms all over the town and at all
times of the year. So much competition has made
it necessary for banks to work on large margin
of profit. Fewer banks would mean more business
for each bank, and with more business banks will
be equally successful in doing business on smaller
margin of profit. This would mean bigger interest
to depositors.
The best thing in banking sense that has ever
happened in Washington is the establishment of
The Munsey Trust Company, with it's new ideas
its new policies, and its courage to do things in
new way. When The Munsey Trust Company
opened it's doors for business on the 18th of May
it inaugurated policy of iberality to the commun-
ity. Instead of two per cent on checking accounts
and three per cent on savings accounts, the pre-
vailing Washington interest rates, The Munsey
Trust Company at once established a three-per-

older machines will be reserved for
training
The army has decided on the design
and obtained one specimen Of the mill
tary aviator's badge 1t is considered
the handsomest thing in the way of a
badge that the government has ever
assigned. 1t has plain gold bar with
the words Military Aviator in black
enamel. Beneath the bar there hangs
an eagle with extended wings carrying
In his claws crossed signal flags in
gold and platinum.
Several of the students officers in
the Philippines are just ready to try
for their military pilots license. They
are Lieutenants Chapman Of the
Seventh cavalry, Rich Of the Philip
pine scouts and Dargue of the coast
artillery. They have all been trained
as aviators under Lieutenant Frank
Lahm. who was the first Of the army
officers to be trained by Wilbur Wright
at College Park. Lieutenant LAhm
has not been flying continuously, but
he is in point Of service the oldest
military aviator in the world.
Another of the student aviators who
are about to take their military test Is
Lieutenant e. l.. Ellington at San
Diego.
According to present arrangements,
when the officers have qualified as
military aviators they will be retained
at their posts to act as instructors to
other student aviators detailed to the
service. Some of the older men prob
ably will be sent this fall to the main
aviation center at San Antonio, Tex.
Considerable interest has been arous-
ed not only among the aviators. but
throughout the army. by the issue Of
the new army signal book by the
signal corps This contains the Amer
lean Morse and the international
Morse, the flag. lantern, Ardois lights
and all the other systems of signaling
used in the army. 1t is the essential
manual Of army signaling. The revised
edition has been compiled by General
Scriven. the chief signal officer Of the
army. One Of the interesting features
Of the rush for the little book is the
general desire Of the boy scouts for
copies The scouts all over the coun-
try seem to be going In for signaling,
judging by the mass Of applications
they have fled for the book
After the house committee on mill
tary affairs had thoroughly discussed
the aviation problem last week 1t was
practically decided to make no change
in the present arrangement in the
army. but to leave the aviation work
under the signal corps. where it has
heretofore been.
