Measure Planned Ruined by
Trading, Claim of Demo-
cratic Senators to Wilson.
UNDERWOOD ISSUES A
STATEMENT OF DENIAL
Party Split Certain Unless Diff
ferent Factions Can Be
Brought Together.
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Despite
every effort to make it appear that the
rrozf6enr and the members of the new
wavs and mean committee of the house
sre working in accord. the cold, unvar-
rlshod fact is that the tariff harmony
Plan so carefully wrought out has al
ready gone to smash.
Democratic senators have protested
30 the president that the tariff that will
b. submitted 20 the house caucus on
April q. is nothing short of a pro
lection grab
Frightened by this project, Mr.. I'm
dervood las issued a statement, that
reports concerning the work done by
the committee are based on scant in
formation and are misleading. This
statement Las served only to pour oil
on the FIRE
Split in COMMITTEES.
The last is that three or four mem
bars Of the committee have got away
from Mr. Underwood and are clamor-
ing for a tariff that shall embrace
sweeping reductions.
Mr. Underwood knows that no such
tariff can set through the senate. He
knows that already an alliance has been
formed between the reactionary and
progressive Republicans to send any
drastic tariff to the waste paper basket
and that the Democrats from at least
Two states-Louisiana and Colorado
will vote against any tariff bill that
unkers with the duty on sugar.
i has been learned that every mem
her Of the committee has been careful
ly taking care of his own constituents
and that trading has been going on to
an extent seldom heard of before.
For example, it is stated that Ham
mond, Of Minnesota, has got a protec-
tive duty on grain; Shackleford, Of
Missouri, a duty on wool, zinc ana
leadi Palmer, of Pennsylvania (who
was the presidents friend till he was
left out of the cabineD, duty on coal;
Garner, Of Texas, a duty on mohair'
cattle and onions.
Wilson Must Adjudicate.
Now, this tariff, which, despite all
reports, has not been submitted to the
president, will be put up to him for
adjudication before it goes to the eau
Gus and human nature being what it
IS 1t will be impossible for him to
make decision that will not start
row.

REvERSES POLICY OF U. S.
ON CITY SUBURB BANKS
McReynolds' Opinion Declares Con-
Germs Cannot Organise With
Small Capital.

Suburbs of big cities in future will be
unable to organize small national banks,
with a capital of $25,OO0 or $jO.O00. Attor-
ney General -McReynolds has rendered an
opinion to the Treasury Department hold
ing that it is not lawful under the ma
tional bank act to consider suburbs as
separate places from the cities within
whose corporate boundaries they lie. and
that If city has a population of more
than 5000 people the minimum capital
for its national banks, whAther in the
city proper or in the suburbs. must be
100000
This will result in complete reversal
of the previous policy OF the government
and, it is stated, will likely cause subur-
ban towns of big cities to. organize only
state banks. The question arose over
applications for the organization Of three
national banks of $o5,OpO capital in the
suburbs of Chicago.
The law provides that $500 banks
may be organized in places" of less
than 5000 population: $4,000 in places
of less than $500: 100000 In places Of
less than G0GO. and $aO0.NO in places Of
more than $1,000 population.
Based upon the opinions by the So
lic4tor of the Treasury Department, 1t
has been the custom TO regard suburban
towns as separate entities or places with
in the meaning of the law, and many ma
tfonal banks of $4,000 or 1880 capital
have been organized In the suburbs of
not expected that the Treasury Depart
ment will make the opinion retroactive
and disturb the charters of these insti-
buttons.
