how the Standard Oil Trust compelled
nearly every railroad in the country to

BY Change in RATE
Those Who Suffer Now Are Men
Drawing Between $4,000 and
100000 Yearly.
LEADERS PREDICT PASSAGE

The Senate Finance Committee has
made another change in the income tax
rates. This time the men who have in
comes ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year have been hit. Under the increases
on larger incomes voted by the commit
tee the other day only those in excess Of
$4,000 were hit by the higher rates.
Now the committee has started the
boost" ON incomes beginning with $4,000.
The bill in its original form provided for
a surtax of per cent on portions OF in
comes from $4,000 to $4,000. and per
cent on all incomes over 10000. The
change made yesterday levies a surtaX
Of , per cent beginning with $4,000 up TO
$4,000. and per cent from 100000 to
$1,000. Thus, the income tax bill as
finally altered for submission to the
Democratic caucus today Will provide
these rates:
One cent on incomes UP to S20OO0. minus
the 1900 exemption: l per cent additional
on that portion of the income from $1,000
to $4,000; . per cent from $1,000 to $75,0 90:
3 per cent from $500 to SlO0,Co0; I per
cent from 100000 to $50O,OU0; 5 per cent
from 5000 TO 81. 100. oO0. and 6 per cent on
all incomes over N.OOo.0OO.
Democratic leaders predicted this after
noon that the new rates would be ACCEPT
ed Notwithstanding the opposition OF
Senator OGOrman and other Democrats
from the big Industrial States.

TWO AMENDMENTS TO
CURRENCY MEASURE
TO BE INCORPORATED

The perfunctory review OF the Glass
Owen currency bill by the House pro-
ceeded harmoniously yesterday. and two
amendments will be Incorporated in the
measure as the result OF the tri-party
conference.
In reserve city banks, as defined by
the law. reserve equal to % per cent
of the aggregate amount OF its deposits
will be the standard set by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury instead of 25
per cent, as first provided in the bill
similar change will be made in the
central reserve city banks, where the
Secretary of the Treasury will authorize
20 per cent reserve instead of 25 for the
sixty-day period previously provided
At the expiration of the sixty-day Pc
riod the permanent reserve will be as
in the original draft or the bill, Is per
cent.
The other amendment to the bill per-
ra1ts Federal reserve banks to begin ope=.
ations with only a certain per cent Of
their stipulated 100000 of capital stock
paid in. This amendment was offered
by Representative Lindbergh Progress
siver and was referred to a committee
consisting of the chairman and Repre-
sentative Hayes. Republican, and Lind
bergh, Progressive. In the Lindbergh
amendment as first drawn the provision
is that banks may begin operations with
90 per cent of their capital paid in. The

MR.. ANDREWS FAVORS
A DISTRICT DELEGATE
President of Merchants Association
Will Call Meeting to Discuss
the Subject.

Ross 2. Andrews, president of the
Retail Merchants Association, has de-
clared in favor of the District of Co.
lumBia being represented in Congress
10y delegate. He has said also that
he intends 20 call a special meeting
of the Retail Merchants Association
in the near future to consider action
on the proposition. and if the associa-
tiOn faYOrS il Il provide for the ap-
poinjmeut Of a committee to cooperate
with the District Delegate Association
in securing The passage OF legislation
providing for delegate.
Last winter the lady tailOTs' sec
tion Of the Retail Merchants AssOcia-
tiou went on record as favOrIng rep
lcsentation for the District in Con-
gress. and it is considered that this
forecasts favorable action by the en-
tire association.
In speaking on the subject. Mr.. An
drews said:
I am emphatically in favor of del
egate in Congress representing the
District of Columbia. l think it takes
nerve 10 ask any man elected to serve
the interest. for instance, of Mime
sofa, TO devote his time to the con-
sideratiou of District Of Columbia af-
fairs.
1T is an inconsistent situation that
allows this community no right to par
ticipate in the discussion of legislation
for its own government, and I am most
heartily in favor of the efforts of the
District Delegate Association to secure
this muCh-needed representation"

the elimination OF the charges now
made by banks for collecting checks and
transferring funds: and the provision
requiring, in times of emergency, that
Federal reserve banks shall redscount
the discounted prime paper OF other
Federal reserve banks
Discuss Farm Loans.
Joseph Chapman. vice president Of
the Northwestern National Bank, of
Minneapolis, Mimi, stated that banks
regard farm loans as safe assets, but
not as liquid assets. but that the ma
tional bankers in Minnesota favor a
change in the law which will permit
them TO make farm loans
Later on Senator owen asked Rob-
ert F. Maddox. vice president Of the
American National Bank. of Atlanta,
Ga, II he thought 1t would be well TO
allow national banks to make farm
loans with part OF their savings de-
partment funds. The banker thought
II would be well to permit them to
do so.
Mr.. Maddox was the bankers rep
resentative to present their views on
the question OF permitting national
banks to continue to operate savings
departments under the terms of the
existing law. His argument dealt with
the Importance OF this branch OF the
business
Senator Owen favored permitting the
national banks to continue to have the
privilege OF conducting a savings de-
partment under existing requirements,
except that they shall have to maintain
a certain reserve from the savings funds.
MIsunderstands the Bill.
A two-hour discussion OF the bilrs re-
quirement that no member banks should
make any charges for handling the
checks Of other member banks or de-
positors OF other member banks enmeshed
the members of the committee in what
seemed for time a hopeless tangIe.
II developed the fact that Senator
Owen was laboring under a wrong i'm
preston regarding the purpose OF that
paragraph OF the bill. 1t seemed to be
the impression of the chairman Of the
committee that the bill did not contem-
plate preventing the member banks max
ing an exchange charge on the checks
Of depOsitor Of another member bank.
but only the prevention OF any charge
by one member bank for handling the
cashiers check or draft of another MEM
Der bank.
The bankers finally succeeded in making
il plain that the banks have voluntarily
established this procedure and that what
the questioning committee members
wanted was exactly what the bankers had
not the slightest objection to-
What the bankers strongly protested
against is that provision which would
compel them to handle depositors' checks
OF other member banks at par. The bank
ers declared that it is only the country
banks that are opposed to this feature OF
the bill, adding that the city banks would,
in fact, be benefited by the bill as 1t
reads.
They claimed that they were represent
ing both city and country banks and ex-
planned the current exchange system in
each detail. They claimed that the
fundamental reason for the opposition to
this feature is the practice Of ''kiting'
that is in vogue with a large part of the
merchants. They also contended
that large number Of the country banks
could not exist without the collection
charges because of the small deposits
which they have as compared with eheir

were half a dozen private detectives in

in wait across the Vermont border, and
whose avowed purpose is to prevent
Thaw being kidnapped by the New York
authorities and rushed back to Mattea-
wan without being allowed a breathing
spell in Vermont.
AS told in these dispatches yester-
day. Capt Lanyon had numerous oper-
atives waiting at Nortons Mills, and it
is Jerome's hope to speed Thaw direct
ly through to Matteawan without a
single halt except for gasoline.
There will be no railroading of this
man back to Matteawan," was the
warm assertion of NJ. Marchal. when
told of the scheme. IF we decide to
deport Thaw to Vermont, we shall see
that he is turned over to Vermont au-
thorities, and that he is locked in Jail
in that State. Any man who attempts

or even money for current expenses.
None of Thaw's coterie of Canadian at

paid the cost of proceedings so far them

of Thaw's attorneys withdrew from active
participation in the case today.
