SomeExamples
of Democratic
Administration.

Washington, DC, June 2nd.-
"As compared with the Repub-
licans We are an unframed mob,
with little knowledge ofparliam-
entary law and with very little
effective knowledge of the rules"
Senator Tillman. Democratic
senator from South Carolina,
spoke these words III an address
to the United States Senate. In
the light of subsequent events
they have become warning and
a prophecy.
The laws enacted during the
last two years are crude and
faulty to the last degree. AS i'll
ustrative of this fact, a few not
able examples of the many blum
ders contained in the tariff bill
alone have been hitherto publish
ed.
Lest we forget" a brief sum
mary of these examples follows.
merely to emphasize the general
principle of inaccuracy prevailing
in the Democratic laws:
/. The tariff bill as a whole was
blunder, because it was re-
venue measure that produced
many millions of dollars less than
was needed, a depleted treasury
being the result.
2. The provision for FIVE per
cent discount in duties on merch-
andise imported III American ves-
sells, involving millions ofdollars,
was declared imperative by the
Attorney General over year ago
and went to the Court of Gust
. oms Appeals.
I g. Another provision affecting
! hundreds OF business concerns is
!, before the same court because OF
J the insertion OF an obscure phrase
that neither custom officials,
/. lawyers nor business men affect
ed could understand.
4. A vital provision in the in
come tax law. Il part ofthe tariff
bill, relating to deductions al
! lowed in computing gross income
must 90 to the courts like hund-
/, reds Of others.
: S. The entire income tax pro.

The Taxation Committee of the
. American Bar Association, a non
!. partisan body, "as open to the
! gravest objections both i'll struct-
+ ure and specific defects" twenty-

 Elmty, Says UltsTntyer.

Washington, May 19.-Concluding arguments on the motion of coun- sel for the government to dismiss the temporary injunction secured by tho Riggs National bank against Secre- tary McAdoo, Comptroller of the cur rency Williams and Treasurer Burke, which charges the first two officials With having conspired to wreck it, were begun today before Justice Me- Coy, in the supreme court of the District of Columbia
 Samuel Untermyer of counsel for the treasury officials, presented the closing argument in support of the motion to dismiss. He argued that hostility of the Riggs bank and the National City Bank of New York against Secretary McAdoo and MT. Williams was the basis of the present suit. He declared that the rem oval of a .spipe line' between the treas ury and the banks and the withdrawal of special privileges aroused resent ment which eliminated in the legal action, to which, he argued, MT Me- Adoo was rightfully not a party and he described the secretary's inclusion in the banks bill as '.wanton, un- provoked and indefensible.
 Remarkable Situation Disclosed.
 teWhen MT. McAdoo became secre- tary," said MT. Untermyer, The found that the vice president of the Riggs bank was an official of the National City bank at $12,0oo a year What was the purpose of the National City in Keeping a high salaried official with staff in the capital of the nation?

 From 1898 to 1913 the National City was receiving funds of the United States on deposit and paid no interest. At times, from one-fourth to one-tenth of all the deposits of the United States in national banks was in the National City, and of these funds it held at times twelve and thirteen million dollars.

They were voted in at the morn ing session by the pastor and one dele~ gate from each church and when q question as to the legality of the vote was raised in the afternoon session. they were made members of the asso<l citation a second time by the entire ns.4 sociation.
 Rev ID. B. Hubbard, Rev. C.. Ws~G Hill of the South church, and Rev Samuel Fiske of Berlin were appoint ed members of the nominating com mittee, which will report on officers of the association at the fall meeting.
