THE BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT |

through their troubles, and relying
upon this promise he accepted the
presidency of the bank. As soon as
Kelly was indicted into office, the
president of the Clearing House left
for Europe and the bank was soon
forced into the hands of a receiver.
Then Kelly realized that not only
had they reached out one hand and
ruined Jones, but that with the other
hand they were crushing him. He
wanted every depOsitor paid at once,
and negotiated a deal with the Met
ropolitan Trust Company whereby
they took over the assets of the
Oriental AM paid the depositors in
full, without waiting to wind up the
receivership. For this they paid the
trust company 100000. They paid
every depositor every single cent
they had in the bank. They paid the
expense of the receivership amount
ing to s245,OOO more. a total expense
of $445,OOO. They have paid the
stockholders dividends amounting to
81 IL per cent, and still have $780,
600 of assets left untouched, showing
that at the time the bank was fore
ed oT of business it had assets in
its hands that have actually paid
of 200 per cent on a forced market.
And this is the story of the Orien-
tai Bank. The financial pirates of
Wall street broke up the Brooklyn
Bank and the Borough Bank; they
broke Jones, plundered the Oriental
and sent it to the wall with a crash;
they blasted the reputation of Kelly,
broke his heart, and he died in less
than a year. But before he died he
left written statement, giving this
story as have given it to you.
But this is only one of the many
instances that could be given. One
hundred and ten banks and trust
companies have been bought out, con-
solidated, o. forced to the wall in
New York City during the last ten
years, and il is for the people to say
whether o. not this financial brigand-
age shall longer be tolerated.

was sound and solvent and in good
condition; that it was doing a legit-
innate business; was being neither
used nor abused by anyone, but re-
quired that it discontinue its clearing
relations with the two Brooklyn
banks. The result was that the
Brooklyn Bank and the Borough Bank
promptly closed their doors.
Jones had also been engaged in
promoting an electric railroad from
Boston to New York City. He had
negotiated the sale of its securities
and had a profit of 5000 almost
in hand when he was advised to dis
continue his operations. He declin-
ed to comply with the request and
the next day certain New York news
papers printed a story that Mr.. Jones
and the affairs of the Oriental Bank
We're being investigated by the dis
trict attorneys office.
This story, together with the action
of the Clearing House, caused run
on the bank. Jones converted the
assets of the bank into cash, and
paid every depositor on demand. His
deposits dwindled down from ten and
a half millions net to three and a hal
millions, but no suits having been
brought, and no prosecution having
been instituted, public confidence be-
gan to be restored, and the deposits
climbed back to S4,5OO,00O. It was
then that due to the strain and wor-
ry incident to his troubles, Jones took
sick and while he was confined to
his bed, with periods of delirium, a
committee representing the Clearing
House went to his home and demand
ed his resignation as president of the
bank. This was according to a rule
Of the Clearing House requiring any
bank officer to resign his official po-
sitiOn upon demand by the Associa-
ton. Jones protested against such
action. He told them that every dol
lar he had in the world was invested
in this bank; that not only was his
money at stake, but that his reputa-
ton and his very all was involved,
but that if such action were neces-
kar3 to save a single cent to a SIM
gle depOsitor he would gladly resign.
They insiste upon his resignation,
he signed it and they took it away
with them.
They then went to Mr.. Hugh Kelly,
president Of the board of directors,
and requested that he accept the
presidency Of the bank. Kelly told
them that if he was to be a three
day president he wanted nothing to
do with it, but they assured him. that
the Clearing House would see them

year will be estimated. In order to
raise Just the revenue needed, con-
gress will set the income tax rates
to fit the case. There will be few
custom duties. There will be, how
ever, an Inheritance tax to relieve
some of the tax burden ON incomes. F"
The estimates of the Ways and
Means Committee show vividly how
wealth has concentrated in this coun-
try. Although incomes of as low as
$4,000 per year will be subject to tax
alton, yet less than one per cent Of
or total population is affected by
the bill.

TRIPLE MILLION CUT.
By Clyde H. Tavenner. Member {

~ OAyNc II. 1o'CuuCi, MtuDer OF
Congress.
Washington.-An immediate cut of
$SOO, OO0. 900 in the cost Of living
eventually a slash of half a billion!
That is what the Democratic leaders
of the House believe the income tax
will do for the American people. The
relief promised by the Democratic
party for the terrible pressure Of the
cost Of the necessities of life seems
to be at hand.
Only experience will reveal the full
benefit to the public of the income
tax. The annual saving over the
counters Of the nations grocery
stores, butcher shops and clothing
emporiums is expected Ultimately to
reach $500, OOO,O 900. Some of the more
sanguine regard even this estimate
as too conservative. The saving may
reach 5000, OOO, 900, or even more.
The estimate is reached in this
way:
From British income tax experience
tables, the experts figure that the an
nual revenue to be derived from
income taxation under the terms of
the pending bill will be from $50, OOO,-
600 to 100000, 900. In writing the
new tariff rates the Ways and Means
Committee has taken cognizance of
this probable revenue and has Topped
off duties on necessities which under
the present Payne-Aldrich law ag-
gregate $4,000, 900 annually. This
$50 ,OOO, 900, now paid by the people in
the cost Of living, is to be paid out
Of the income tax revenue.
But every dollar saved in tariff
amounts to five. or six dollars in the
final retail prices paid by the con-
sumer. This is because the many
middlemen who handle an article
from the stage Of raw material to
that of the finished product each as
sesses as profit a certain percentage
of the value Of the commodity he han
dies. But in assessing this profit he
, includes the tariff in the value Of the
commodity. Thus the people pay not
only the tariff but also pay profits on
the tariff. Every dollar of increased
price for the raw material assessed
by the tariff becomes five or six dol
lars by the time it reaches the con-
sumner.
Representative Cordell Hull, Of
Tennessee, the member of the Ways
and Means Committee who drew the
income tax provision, propheticalg
sees the day when all government
revenue will be derived from just two
principal forms of direct taxation
the income tax and the inheritance
tax.
"The rates in the pending bill are
but tentative" he said. They can
and will be changed by succeeding
cong: esses.
"The measure is designated to fit
in with the budget system of esti-
mating government expenses. The
day will come when government ex-
penses will be appropriated for in an
annual budget bill. On the basis of
this the amount of revenue needed
by the government for the succeeding

THE ORIENTAL BANK.

aBy Congressman George A. Neeley.)
Several years ago Richard W. Jone
Jr., then president of the American
Natioaal Bank in Kansas City, dis
posed Of his interests there and went
to New York to accept the vice-pres-
idehcy in the Seventh National Bank.
This bank failed to measure up to-
the desired standards and in 1902 he
and his associates purchased the
control of the Oriental National Bank

desired to make name for himself
In the financial world. He put all his
western energy and force into the
business, with the result that the de-
posts Increased to $1O,5OO,O 900. He
built up Q cash surplus of 81 200 900,
and paid the stockholders an annual
dividend Of u per cent on their
stock.
His bank cleared for three non
members banks, the Brooklyn Bank
and Borough Bank, both of Brooklyn,
and Ae Chelsea Exchange of New
York City and was rapidly forcing
Itself to the front rank of New York
financial institutions, when he was
notified by the Clearing House to dis
continue clearing for the two Brook
Ign banks. Mr.. Jones advised his
informants that these institutions had
large balances deposited with his
bank, and that to Immediately de.
priye them of clearing privileges
would result the prompt withdraw
q d such balances; that since the
rules of the association required that
his bank guarantee the items passed
tor clearance, a committee be ap-
pointed to examine his bank and de-
1ermine whether or not they were
able to commply with the rules of the
association. The committee con-

Washington, Jan. 11.--Out Of al the
gossip that has floated to Washington
from Princeton. New Jersey. concern
ing the makeup OF the new cabinet
but one thing seems definitely settled
William j Bryan will be secretary of
state There has been no question
about this place being offered to Mr.
Bryan since the election The only
question tNere has been at any time
was whether Mr.. Bryan would accept.
The correspondent of the Capital
News is Informed by Democratic
senator who is one OF Mr. Bryan's clos
est friends that the commoner prac-
tically decided before the holidays that
when the place was formally rendered
to him, he would accept as a matter
of duty TO his party.
Mr. Bryans choice OF cabinet place
was not limited to the portfolio of
state. He was offered his choice OF
cabinet positions. Mr.. Bryan told one
Of his close friends in congress that
If he followed his personal inelina-
tions he would prefer to be secretary
of the treasury, because of the oppor-
tunity 1t would give him to carry out
certain policies. But he explained that
his appointment as secretary of the
treasury would embarrass President
Wilson's administration because it
would precipitate panic. Mr., Bryan

AN IDAHO ATTEMPT TO THRoT-
TIE THE FREEDOM OF
THE PRESS.
spokesman Review

During the presidential campaign
in Idaho last year the supreme court
of that state struck the names of the
Progressive party's nominees for
presidential electors from the Off
cial ballot.
The decision was a technical one
and was disputed by many who had
studied the Idaho law as to elections.
Mr. Roosevelt was indignant and
expressed his views. They we're
published by the Associated Press
as general telegram which ap-
peared in newspapers all over the
country. The Capital News of Boise,
Idaho, published the Roosevelt opin-
ion as news and the state supreme
court construed its course as con-
tempt of court.
The fact that the case of the pres
idential electors had already been
disposed of before the criticism of
the decision appeared makes it i'm
possible to share the courts charac-
terization of the criticism as con-
tempt.
Then the court that was criticized
and therefore was not an impartial
body itself tried the case OF the
stakeholder. publisher and editor
whom 1t had charged with contempt.
In view OF all the facts and cir
cumstances it is inevitable that its
decision of this contempt case should
fail to be indorsed by the majority
of the thinking people of Idaho.
The vitiating fallacy In the deci-
sion is that it ignores the funda-
mental right of the citizens and press
of i nation to criticize the courts
that they have created. This SUI
preme court In effect sets the Great
ure above its creator.
The court has gone out of Its way
to find grounds for justifying it's de-
cision. Its judgment Is farfetched.
When it speaks of alleged "vilifying
the courts" as the cause of more
than 100 criminal cases of dynamit-
ing" 1t drags in matters that have
nothing to do with the case under
consideration.
