South, it may not be possible for the
banks to continue paying depositors al
the rate of 4 per cent annually unless
the field for investments by the banks
is somewhat enlarged, and it is my opin'
ion that the legislature may well con
slider the advisability of extending the
right to invest in municipal bonds to
states which are now excluded and the
right to invest in the best class of Cana
dian municipal bonds. | think it may be
well also to investigate the advisability
of allowing the banks to invest in first
mortgage bonds of some of the strong
est and best industrial and public service
corporations in this country, and in the
bonds of foreign countries. There is a
difference of opinion among bankers as
TO the wisdom of charging the invest
ment law along these lines. and at the
present writing | am not sufficiently well
informed so that / am willing to advise
definitely with relation to all these differ
ent classes of investments, but ! do ad :
wise the legislature TO investigate as sug-
gested.
With relation TO proper investments
by the banks, ! can only repeat what
have said in former reports that banks
or the private investor in making invest
ments outside the state should select
with great care the companies or men
through whom the investments are made,
examine carefully the territory where
the loans are located, and inspect regu-
larly the property securing the loan. In
making investments at home the same
care should b. exercised
Our state now stands at the head OF
all the states in the amount of deposits
in savings banks per capita OF population
and over 100000 inha bitants OF the state
have deposits in the state banks. and
when we consider that there are 40 ma
tional banks in the state, many of which
have savings departments, ] am i'm
pressed with the remarkable position
which Vermont occupies in the number
and amount OF its savings deposits, but
il is entirely possible to very largely IN
crease not only the proportion Of deposi-
tors in the savings banks in the state, |
but also the amount.

Report the Price of Aid to
the Raider to Be
100000
DESTROYERS NOW
PATROLLING COAST
U-53 Is Reported Sighted Off
Nantucket Lightship by
a Steamer

Washington Oct l4.-The government
is informed, according to an official con
nected with the administration, that a
vessel laden with oil has succeeded in
leaving the port of New York and is sup
plying the German submarine U53
which recently raided merchantmen off
the New England coast after its visit to
Newport.
The further statement is made that
the sum of 100000 was paid to the own
ers of the oil ship to undertake the dar-
ing adventure.
The government official who is the
source of this announcement made pri-
vately-holds a position which makes
any statement from him authoritative.
He says the navy is engaged in a search
for the base of supply of the u-53, as
the navy department does not believe the
undersea craft could operate so far from
home without a tender. 1t is because of
this belief that outgoing steamers have
been turned back and patrol of torpedo
boat destroyers has been established
along the coast.
The government has placed enough
credence in the story referred to not only
to institute wide search, but to take eX-
traordinary precautions gaainst ships de-
parting from New York harbor. If the
report be true that the U-53 is lowering
outside the three mile limit and is being
supplied with oil, the conclusion follows
that more raids are contemplated. Hence
the order OBTAINING boats in port.
Should the government confirm its sus-
picions. it will have a basis of interfering
with the exploits of the U-53. If sup
piled by vessel which left the port of
New York it will be regarded as breach
of neutrality and will furnish ground for
federal intervention.
The Washington authorities are dis
turbed by the report that the Stephano
was fired upon without being signalled
and fears are entertained that there may
be violations of international law of
which the German government can plead
ignorance, as it is not in touch with the
commander of the U-53, and such viola
tons might continue for long time, be-
cause the U-boat may not reach its home
base during the complications.

HOW TO AVOID
TROUBLE OVER
U-BOAT RAIDS
St. John, NJ B., Favors Transfer of Trans
atlantic Trade to Canadian
Ports.

st. John, n. b., Oct. l4.-The use Of
Canadian ports as the terminals OF
steamships in transatlantic trade to
avoid difficulties arising from submarine
raids such as that which occurred off
the Massachusetts coast last Sunday, was
urged in a resolution adopted by the ex-
ecutive council of the board of trade
yesterday 1t was ordered sent to the
government at Ottawa.
The resolution points out that such de-
Election of trade routes from United
States ports would obviate compiled
tions because trade with Canadian ports
is protected by the British navy, and any
submarine menace could be dealt with
directly and more effectively. The sup
port OF all boards OF trade in Canada Is
requested to the end that Canadian ports
should be used instead OF American.

Taxes

The amount OF taxes paid the state of
Vermont upon deposits by the state
banks during the past year is $500,
1872, being an increase of S2s.05l.74
over the previous year. As very large
proportion of the savings deposits in the
state banks belong to people of small
means and the average deposit is only
S449.29, it is apparent that large pro
portion of the tax upon deposits is de
rived from small savings which otherwise
would pay no tax whatever.
