Voters who are dubious about their
taxes are urged to write back to their
old home county and ascertain CON
ditions there. 1t is the contention of
the Republicans that nowhere else
in the United States are taxes so high
with so little return as they are right
here In Tulsa county.

w. n. Robinson Disposes of
Kupper Hotel for Large
Sum of Money.
BOUGHT BY COMPANY
Desired to Give More At
tention to Interests in
This City.

In order to have more time for the
management of his Tulsa property
w, y. Robinson, owner of the Hotel
Tulsa, has sold out his share of the
ownership of the Kupper hotel in
Kansas City for a consideration said
to be $500 to the company which has
been operating the hotel W. $. Mars
of that city has been made president
Of the company.
Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Mars became
associated in the operation of the
kupper when they purchased it more
than year ago. Since that time Mr.
Mars has been in actual charge of the
hotel, Mr.. Robinson going to Kansas
City only at intervals. Mr.. Robinson
said his week that in the year and a
half that he has been at the Kupper
business had increased far beyond his
expectations and that now the busl-
ness is in an excellent condition.
Bought in 1918.
Messrs. Robinson and Mars bought
the hotel in March, 1915, from Messrs
w. j. Kupper and +. A. Benson, who
had conducted the place for about
eleven years. 1t is a 200-room house
with all the modern improvements.
Mr. Mars will be president of the
recognized company, Mrs. Mars.
vice president. and l.. Newton Wylder,
Mr.. Mars son-in-law. will he score
tary.
Mr.. Mars ras had long life in the
hotel business. having followed the
rrofe ssion for forty years, 80 of which
have been spent in Kansas City. He
is therefore probably the oldest hotel
man in point Of service in Kansas city.

Collect Checks Quickly.

Rnt that isn't all The new method
will collect all checks much more speed
ilv than they have been collected. A Hat
Itiesburg merchant. for instance, SENDS
n check for $500 to some small town
lin New York. Under the present sys-
lem. that check passes through several
different banks, probably, before il I'm
,allv reaches Hattiesburg and is pad.
The time required is about eight or
nine DAYS. The drawer of that cheek
figures that he does not have TO have
the money in actual deposit until his
check gets back to this bank. But I'M
der the new system it will be sent at
once to the nearest Federal Reserve
Bank. that bank will send it at once
TO the Federal Reserve Bank in New
Orleans and the time required 10 col
lect il will be only four days, instead
,of eight or nine.
Under the present system, therefore,
the Hattiesburg bank and through 1t
the Hattiesburg merchant gets five or
six days use of that $500 which they
viii. not get under the new system-ll
THE banks of Hattiesburg are as strict
in their application OF the system as
some Of them think they Will have to
be. The difference in time on CHECKS

the local banks Of at least Slio,e'o

referred TO forces every bank that is
Ia member of the Federal. Reserve Sys-
TEN to remit in currency or some other
lpaper that is acceptable TO the Federal
Reserve Bank for all checks drawn on
il and handled through the Federal
Reserve Bank. Naturally, all banks
that are members of the system Will
handle their checks this way. for it IS
the only way they can handle them
without exchange. Now the act fur
Their provides, that the bank accepting
The check from its depositors cannot
claim this check as an available asset
until il has been paid by the bank on
which il is drawn to the Federal Re
IserVe Bank.
Heretofore. Hatiesburg bankers,
for instance, have been sending
ing each day large quantity of checks
to their Chicago. New York. New Or
leans and other agent banks, with
whom they keep a sufficient sum on
deposit 10 justify the agent banks in
handling the Hattiesburg banks items

credit for these checks as cash reserve
as soon as they are in the mails, the
agent bank credits the account OF the
smaller bank as soon as the checks
are ceceived and before they are I'M
allv collected. Under the new sys-
fem. which will be put into effect July
IS, banks that are members OF the
Federal Reserve System cannot take
credit for these items until they have
been actually collected by the Federal
Reserve Bank.
Such items constitute what the bank
ers call float" and the three Hatties-
burg banks send out each day an aver
age total of something like 100000
worth of float. Heretofore they have
been considering this float as cash on
deposit with their city correspondents.

fore. estimating that the total float o.
the three Hattiesburg banks is q trific
more than 100000 day-and that 2S-

will be constantly deprived of the use

Reserve System, will be forced to place
the same restrictions on him that are
placed on them by the federal reserve
system. And If this is done. il is not
at all improbable local banks will be
forced to refuse to give their depositors
credit on checks until these checks are
collected There is where the rub Is
going TO come TO the business public
generally-if it comes.
Not Alarmists.
George J. Hauenstein. cashier of the
First NationaI Bank of Commerce, is
vitally concerned in the new regula-
tons and vitality opposed 10 them.
We don't want to appear TO he
alarmists," said Mr.. Hauenste.@, ~it
The officials OF this bank can't see any
thing in The new system that is needfal
and we see many things that are iniur-
ious. II looks to us like we will either
have To call in enough loans to take
care of this float, or refuse to give our
depositOrs credit on ont of town checks
until they are collected and the cur
rencv placed TO our credit at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank. In either instance.
it would be a serious Inconvenience to
our depositors. From the depositor's
if we did not give him
credit on the checks that come TO him
from out of the city until they are col
lected, he will need more capital to
take the place of these checks. And
we certainly viii be in no position 10
extend him more credit. for we viii he
deprived of the use of a great many
items which we have been considering
as cash.
"The only reasonable excuse that has
been offered for this provision, con
tinued Mr.. Hauenstein. is that il will
stop the use Of lot Of fictitious money.
t is argued that the personal check
system has been abused; that a cheek
is not money and should not be SO con
sidered until it is paid. OF course it IS
true that a check is fictitious currency
for few days. but as soon as it is pre-
scented at the bank it is drawn on, II
becomes real currency. and we can
see where anybody has been hurt by

to stop that practice. | think the law
here is too drastic. | think that if a
bank carries large account in New
ork in order TO make remittances with
Jew York money. it ought TO get some
revenue from this account and the only
way 10 get ii is by charging exchange.
But the bankers especially the bank
ers in towns where there is only one
bank-have persisted in charging eN-
.cessiye exchange rates for so long that
there just had 10 be a halt called.
There are a great many features that
will develop in the operation Of this
law. see in it an attempt 10 force the
state banks into the Federal Reserve
system. But the state banks are by
no means powerless and there are
good many ways in which we can take
care CT ourselves"
STATE Banks Affected.
G. Nj. McWilliams, cashier of the
Citizens Bank, believes that the state
banks will be affected just exactly the
same as the National Banks.
There can be but one clearing sys-
TEN in the cC"ntry." said Mr.. McWil-
liams. "All OF the large city banks
that are not already members of the
Federal Reserve System Will have to
become members in order to take
care Of their spOndentS and get
their items cleared at par And they
are not going to forfeit all their eX
change and then allow us to charge
them exchange. Not only that. but the
Federal Reserve Bank can send our
checks 10 the First-NatiOnal Bank OF
Commerce for collection. Out OF c0ur-
tesv 10 us. the First-NatiOnal may re-
fuse TO present them for collection
Then it will be an easy matter Tor the
Federal Reserve Bank TO send our
checks to the HattieSburg postmaster
and when the Hai1iesburg postmaster
or anybody else passes a check through
our teller's window, we have got TO
pay it right then and pay it al par. SO
the state banks will certainly be de-
prived of their exchange profits. and
It will be the same way with their
cash reserve. 1t will shrink in just
the same proportion as that OF the
National Bank. And sooner or later,
we are either going 10 have to defer
credit on checks deposited with MS by
our customers on out OF town banks
or call in some loans. For the pres
ent. we are going to continue hand
ling our business just as We have al
ways done, but how long we can keep
this up. ! can't say"
