FOREIGN OPPOSITION.

The opposition of foreign countries
to various features OF the tariff bill
before our Congress became so pro.
nounced and widespread that President
Wilson WAS forced 10 yield, The for
eign nations objected to various ad-
mlnistratiye features of the bill, such
as the propose! to have an official
valuation Of Imports ard an inquiry
| in the exporting country, showing cost
and price, and the provision which pro-
ldes bounty on goods imported IN
I American ships, this bounty to be IN
the form OF decrease IN the tariff
rates Of five per cent on such 9oods
imported in American ships,
TIL valuation clause is directly III
the interest of honesty and the head
ing off oil litigation. Under tariff dn"
ties which apply or the ad Valorem
basis there arc ALWAYS enormous oppor
tInit,es for fraud IN underva luatIons
and in dummy invoices. The otilclal
declaration of values when the goods
are imported or withdrawn from the
bonded warehouse would stop these
forms Of fraud and dishonest dealing,
and would head off the flood of lltl-
CATION which usually accompanies the
al valorem basis of duties. The for
cign governments that are protesting
against this official valuation are
therefore making themselves ridiculous
BY pleading for opportunities tor fraud.
No concessions are made on this point
By President Wilson. But he yields
on the proposition to compel foreign
merchants sending goods to this coun-
try to open their books to the inspec-
ton of an American official with a
view of ascertaiuing cost and true
value.
The other proposition, where those
governments protest against the reduc'
ton in tariff duties where the goods
are brought in in American ships has
a substantial basis. for our treaties
with foreign governments very com
mouy provide that the commercial yes.
sells of such nations shall he permitted
to bring goods into our ports on the
same terms that goods imported IN
American ships are hruoght in. SO
th.t this provision in the tariff bill is
direct V volatioG Of the treaty, and
on this proposition President Wilson
also yields.
But we do rot soc any such hust-
ling oG the Part Of the administration,
though it comedies the two points
stated to get in line with foreign de-
mands as to these points that there
was to get in line with the Japanese
demands with respect to the Callfor'
MIA legislation. Why is this? How
does it happen that Japan can bring
our Government to its knees with re
spect to the legislation of a State
when united Europe can hardly bring
our Government to the full recognition
of its demands with regard to an
agreed-on partisan tariff bill? Is there
any connection between the academic
partisan propositions involved in the
tariff revision and the overriding oil
the plain right Of the State to deter
mine its land policy and its land ii
ties? Has the Democracy turned Its
back completely on State rights, even
to the extent of maintaining the right
of the National Government to dictate
in a matter that has never been re
ferred to it by the States at all, in ia
vor of an importunate insistence upor
passing a merely theoretical tariff
bill?

INTEREST ON U. S. DEPOSITS.

We see that the u. S. depository
banks of Salt Lake City have received
notice from the U. S. Treasury, accord
ing to the recent ruling of Secretary
McAdoo, that they will be obliged to
pay two per cent interest on all de-
posits Of the National public funds
which they receive from and aft
er the first Of June. They, in com
mon with other depository banks
throughout the United States, have
paid two per cent right along on inac"
tive deposits and Que per cent on ac-
tive deposits that is. deposits that are
subject TO be checked against daily.
The tive per cent rule has applied to
deposits that are fairly constant, and
that are not likely to be disturbed
by the ordinary checking Of business
routine.
We note that number Of the banks
in the East are obiectlng strenuously
to this new order which requires them
TO pay two per cent on active deposits,
and that the Chemical National Bank
posits on these terms. A number of
the financial papers are urging that
other banks follow the example of the
Chemical National, and also decline the
temporary deposits subject to daily
check on the two per cent interest
terms. We Judge, however, that not
many Of the Eastern banks will follow
the example Of the Chemical National
Bank of New York, but will continue
TO receive such National funds as they
can get, and pay the two per cent rate
on the daily balances on the active as
well as on the inactive deposits by the
Government, And as long as the banks
continue to do this. they concede that
the argument for the interest policy is
unanswerable.
The real test in all this Of course,
is the money advantage received by
the banks in taking and handling Gov
ernment deposits on the terms imposed.
If the banks find that deposits are not
valuable under the restrictions i'm
posed, Of course they will decline to
receive them; but as long as they do
receive them On the terms imposed, the
inevitable presumption is that they
find the deposits advantageous, and
that their profit in them is worth
while, over and above the interest
which they have TO pay,
