usuRlous BANKS

A few weeks the comptroller Of the United state
treasury issued statement critiosinE national bank
for usurous practices. Many bankers challenged hls
report and him of defsmng their profession In
reply these critics Comptroller Williams has made
a more explicit statement.
He points the sworn admissions Of 246 national
banks as showing that while those banks unable
get all the money they needed from the federal
banks at from l2 to per cent they charg
ing from Is to 100 per The loans they made.
In % states he says, there banks that admi
charging 10 per or on all their loans. and
these institutions constitute than onethrd of all
the national banks Most of these banks, presumably.
are in states whose laws permit of interest
and thus there is technical justification But in many
other cases there is no such defense. There 81
states in which it is illegal to charge high Il
per bank loans; and yet according the comp
roler's statement banks states admit charging L.
per cent or more on some of their loans
The only states in which the comptroller found no
evidence of usury in the national banks are Comet
cut Delaware Mississippi Rhode Island. New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Wisconsin. There ought to be q
rapid addition to this honor roll And there can
be- the honorable bankers who the big mapor
ty will use their influence against the practice.

"War Tax" Law SUITS.

w dF IdA Law OuIUO'
Every dollar of the hundreds
and thousands paid by trust com.
panies to the government under
the provisions of the war tax"
law may have to be returned be
cause of Democratic carelessness.
Practically every trust compa-
ny in the United States which
has paid, under protest, the tax
provided by paragraph l of Sec
ton 3 of the "war tax" is pre-.
pairing to litigate the right of the
government to collect. Test cas-
es have already been brought in
various federal courts. The fOun-
datiCn for these suits was laid by
the Democrats through an appar-
ent oversight in drafting the law.
The oversight lay in the failure
to properly define bankers. !"
The blunder is emphasized by the
fact that but a few months be-
fore the "war tax" was levied,
the Democratic Congress ha1 ar
propriated thousands of dollars
to pay back to trust companies a
refund ordered by federal courts
following litigation on the same
question.
Section 3 OF the "war tax" de-
clares that bankers "shall pay 81
for every $1,000 of capital used or
employed" It then defines who
shall he termed a banker" under
the act. The definition of a bank
er" is identical with that which
the federal courts but a short
time before held inadequate to
render trust companies liable to
such tax.
The Democrats had ample war
ming. The language of the fed
eral courts decision conclusiveIy
showed that banker" must be
more adequately defined to in.
clude trust companies.

decision, 'the plaintiff is not {
