STATE BANK COMMISSIONER
FRANK c. WILLIAMS !
OF Viz ing State Banking Laws, Deceiving
Depositors, Using Misleading Advertising
and Manipulating His Bank Stock
To Avoid Taxation

Newport, Aug. 9-In a statement
issued bq Bank Commissioner Frank
C. Williams, made public tonight, the
yelled charges against Senator Pages
bank are dragged ruthlessly into the
open and every allegation made is not
only substantiated but the record Of
six years of Misrepresentation eyas-
ion of taxes and violation of state law
is set forth in circumstantial detail.
TO the three questions regarding
the conduct of the bank the bank com
missioner answers in the affirmative.
He fixed the date of the misleading ad-
vertising as late as 1912 and declares
that the evasion of taxes has not only
continued for six years but that at the
time of his latest examination GER
tain bank was still being used by
Senator age to avoid local taxation.
Bank Commissioner Williams says:
Summing up the charges which
have been made with reflect upon
the administration of the banking de-
partment of Vermont
First, it is charged that Sena.
tor Page transferred bank stock
stock which he owned to avoid taxa
tion; Second, 1t is charged that the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust company, of which Senator
Page is president, issued mislead
ing advertisements with relation to
the manner in which the money OF
its depostors was invested; Third
it is charged that some directors oil
the bank indorsed or guaranteed ouI
OF state loans by the bank is az
amount very much larger than the law
allows; Fourth, it is charged that thC
bank commissioner must have knowr
of these practices, and If he did moi
correct them, failed in his duty as ar
officer of the state.
AS to the first three charges
must answer in the affirmative.
"As to the fourth charge, ! discoy
cred the illegal acts; the misleading
advertisements; the use of banks
to eyade taxation: that four Of th'
directors, including Senator Page
had incurred liabilities to tho banl
very largely in excess Of the lega

educated to that view is hard to con

A striking evidence Of this hold
which Tirpltz and his policies have

sia. is given in the manifesto in
which four of the principal newspa-
pers of Berlin unite. They tell the
government that he was "the German

or For the government Mr.. Asauith
has defined England's position thus,
rcpeating and expanding his declara-
tion at the beginning of the war:
Eve shall never sheath the sword
until Belgium, and | will add
Serbia, RECEIVERS in fun measure all
and more than all until France
is adequately secured until the
rights of the smaller nationalities of
Europe are placed upon an unassail-
able foundation, and until the mil
itary domination of Prussia is wholly
and finally destroyed"
This last is a larger order but it
does not imply the destruction ot Ger
many: it would he sufficient if Ger
many should get rid of its Prussan
war lords, forget the iron deposits
of France, and decide to be a good
neighbor.
SO far from detecting ruthless de,
sign to destroy Germany, Admiral Won
Tirpitz did all that one man could TO
create enmity between the two ma
tions. No such enmity existed when
he began td agitate for a great navy.
Only menace by sea could have
broken down Britain's isolation and
forced it to Join hands with its old
enemies, Russia and France. If there
Is ring of iron about Germany today,
It was forged by the great man of
one idea whose retirement is now
deplored. and whose enthusiasm car
ried the emperor with him in the
dream of challenging British sea
power.
But beyond that, if England, which
has been pacific, should now become
implacable, no one thing is so much
responsible as the policy of ruthless
ness with which the name of Tirpitz
is associated. For long time TINS
apathy of the English was matter
of comment; what stirred them out
of it was "frightfulness." Every Yep
pelin raid, every sinking of ship
with the loss of non-combatant lives,
has added to a bitterness which has
become almost as intense in England
as in Germany. If Germany would
like to end the war and can not get
acceptable terms, the blame must 90
mainly to the Tirpitz policies, which
these Berlin newspapers are so anX-
ious to have maintained. Unless Ger
many can crush England as some
of its chauvinists have dreamed, it
is the part of wisdom to shelye Ger
many's old man of the sea and all his
