Telephone Case
Jurisdiction Denied

No Jurisdiction" because the mat

Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today in the Pittsburgh tele-
phone case. Tn. specific holding was
that in view of the fact that no charge
is made or call recorded against
either class OF subscribers in Pitts
bureh by the company for the local
call used in connecting Interstate
lines, there is no discrimination with
regard to interstate transmission.
The complaint was lodged on the

DENIES intent To
PROSECUTE KUHNS
Officials of Pittsburgh Bank
Had No knowledge of False
Statement, Says Kane.

There is absolutely no truth in the
assertion that PRESIDENT James S.
Kuhn and Vice President W. s Kuhn,
Of the First-Second National Rank of
, Pittsburgh, Pa, are to be prosecuted
criminally on a charge of wrecking
tho bank"
Emphasis was given to this state
ment today by Acting Comptroller of
a libel upon the Kuhns.
THE Treasury Department has evi-
dence Of criminal violation of the
national banking laws by the cor
poration," explained Mr.. Kane. but
the department has not uncovered any
vestie ation thus far indicates that
intimations that the Kuhns had
knowledge, or were parties to irreg-
ularities found, are an injustice"
I'VE know that the bank published
q false statement of Its condition,
bly, will be made, but our informa-
tion is that the statement was put
out by a bookkeeper. and there IL
nothing TO show that II was done
with the knowledge or at the in
stance Of either President or Vice
President Kuhn"
Approved As Agent.
Comptroller Kane freely admitted
that his office had approved the closed
st-Second National Bank as a re-
serve agent for the First National
Bank Of Houston, Tex. Criticism on
this score is not well taken, however,
he says. The approval Of the bank
as a reserve agent was given at the
time that examiners were engaged
on its books, end July {, the day the
bank was closed, the bulletin an
nouncing the approval Of the First
Second as q reserve agent was issued
ut is true that examiners were in
the bank at the day named" said Mr..
Kane. but 1t was not suspected at
that time that the bank was in the
shaky condition 1t proved little
later to be.
Approving the First-second Bank
as a reserve agent was something Of
routine matter. Any bank not
known to be in bad standing gets
ordinarily such applications approved
without special examination.
No Examiners.
THE old First Bank had been under
investigation by this office. but since
the merger with the Second Bank in
March the office of the Comptroller
had not had examiners there. Until
the examiners did find things awry,
after June %, there was no partic-
ular reason to suspect anything was
wrong. Consequently the application
of the Bank OF Houston was grant
ed"
1T was the custom Of former Comp
troller Murray TO approve a bank as
reserve on request Of the bank de-
string to deposit its reserve fund with
the agent, without first requiring the
bank to put itself in a condition sat-
isfactory to the Comptroller.
1T was the continuance Of this Gus
tom that caused the office to ap-
prove the First Second National Bank
as reserve agent just prior to its

Canadian Reciprocity.

Peoria Herald-Transcript: When
William H. Taft WAS president, Ameri
can farmers protested vigorously be
cause Canadian recipr Dty bill was
passed by congress So swift was the
tide of public sentiment against the
proposed Canadian treaty that all the
politicians ran to cover in order 10
escape the fury of the storm.
The Underwood tariff, now in the
senate, proposes a countervailing duty
Of six cents bushel on wheat, which
puts the country In the same position
as it was under Canadian reciprocity.
Senator Borah of Idaho called at
tention to this situation the other day
in the United States senate and add
ed:
SO long as the people are crowdina
to the cities and those congested cen
ters are becoming more deplorable
every day, 1t is the duty OF the Ameri
can government. not only through its
Legislation, but in every other way, tc

cultural field. ! am in favor OF paying
a bounty, II necessary, to encourage
the agricultural industry"
Mr.. Taft was criticized severely be
cause of Canadian reciprocity. In
what respect Is the Underwood bill ar

OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

One of the mistakes of the present
city administration has been In as
Stunning that itywas not Its duty to en-
force the laws unless specific viola
tions OF law were called to It's atten-
ton accompanied by evidence suffl-
Gent to convict. Such a view OF the
limitations OF official duty may have
times past, but they are not now re.
garded as valid in Keokuk or any 9TH
er city In Iowa. 1t Is as much a part
of the duty of the commissioner of
public safety, for instance, to ferret
out violations of law, secure evidence
and bring about the punishment of
violators as 1t Is to exercise general
supervision over his department of
city government or to draw his salary.
The Ottumwa Courier in recent ref
erence to conditions in Keokuk we'll
said:
"A Keokuk commissioner, against
whom the recall has been invoked, Is
credited with saying he does not see
what the people are complaining
about, as the commission hasn't failed
to prosecute when someone else has
produced the evidence A city Official
is not selected to sit around while
someone else does his work for him.
The official who waits for someone
else to do the work which he was
elected to do. is not fulfilling his
sworn obligation. A city official who
tries to hide behind the old, time
worn excuse. you get the evidence
and will prosecute. is admitting that
he is incompetent to fill the place for
which he Is drawing a salary from
