ALL PORTUGAL IN
 STATE OF SIEGE
Troubles Not of Bolsheviki Nature, Being Due to
 Interparty Quarrels
By Associated Press


 Paris, January 21-Circumstances Of the outbreak of the monarchial revolu' ton in Portugal are given in an agency dispatch from Lisbon, filed at 11:45 a. m. Monday It says:
 The minister of war, with a number of officers. took special train to Oporto and arrived there yesterday. They were received at the station by officers of the garrison who conducted them to headquarters. They were in- formed that monarchy was about to be proclaimed at Oporto.
 The minister and his suite were able to take a train for Lisbon. On their way they received confirma tion of the proclamation of a monarchy in Oporto.
 The monarchist manifesto calls upon the population to fly the old blue and white royalist banner
 The cabinet has taken vigorous measures to maintain order
 "A state of seige has been proclaim ed throughout the country.
 The warships Vasco Da Cana and Guardiana have been called home and two other war vessels have been sent to Oporto. At Coimbra two divisions of the reserves have been called to the colors.
 The Lisbon garrison remains loyal to the government.'-
 The message states that the troubles are not of bo1sheviki nature, but are merely due to inter-party quarrels.
 From a conversation between Pre- mier Barbosa and Ayres Ornellas, chief agent in Portugal of ex-King Manuel. adds the message, "it appears that the former King considers the present mo : ment inopportune for an attempt to restore the monarchy"

 YEAR IN 1913

 Says Report
By Associated prsss

Washington, January A.-Despite tre- mendous war burdens national banks grew and prospered last year, their re- sources, earnings and deposits estab- fishing new high records, according to the annual report of John Skelton Will Hams. comptroller of the currency. The report, made public today, said the suc- cess of the financial management of the war was largely due to the conserva- tive principles maintained by the banks and the federal reserve system, and the efficient direction of the individual in stitutions.
 It was the last report of MT. Williams in his present term, which expires Feb ruary 2. It covered the year ending Octo- Der a1, 1918, and said that half the S17,- ooo 900 900 of Liberty Bonds marketed up to that time were sold through the na- tional banks, yet the banks deposits in creased nearly two billion dollars. Inter- est rates were kept low and stable in spite of a big demand for credit from many sources. MT. Williams said. and there were only two failures during the fiscal year. These are outstanding situ- ations which should make the nation proud of it's national banking system, the comptroller declared

 and they will be attached to the post
 office appropriation bill. The bill will
 of necessity be rapidly enacted, and thus the amendments will be secured.
 The amendments increase existing ap-
 propriations by s50,00o,0O0 for 1919, S5,ooo,o 900
 for 1920 and like sum for 1921. These
 increases, together with residues from
 unexpended appropriations and appropria-
 tions to be made by the respective states

 the agricultural department, make avail
 able this year s170, 900 900; in 1920 $190, ,0O0,-

 jority of which are now in session, show interest and energy real era of good road construction, with adequate funds
 available will immediately ensure. Sen
 ator Bankhead notified State Senator John Craft of the Alabama legislature today of the necessity for action on the part of the Alabama body. The legis- lature must, first accept and embrace the terms of the federal legislation, and must pledge itself to raise as much money as it will demand of the federal gov ernment Alabama incidentally, is the only state of the union, which has not already accepted this legislation as orig inally introduced. Alabama's tardiness IS due to the constitution which prevents other than quadrennial sessions Of the legislatu The Bankhead amendments give the Secretary of Agriculture the right to construct portions of highways which may be subsequently available for transportation of mails. This amend ment will prevent negligent county fail ing to raise it's pro rata share Of the expenses from rendering incomplete any highway extending throughout a state. The amendments also empower the Sec retary of War to turn over to the high way commissions all road building ma chinery not needed for war purposes As to the interests of the states in meeting the federal appropriations, Sec retary Houston declares that in other years, such appropriations have been ex- ceeded

 Of income profits tax the governor said in part: What is true of the business and fairness of the graduated income tax is also true of the excess profits tax. This tax is levied by the United States gov ernment on profits over and above req sonable returns on capital invested in business and normal profits of a pre-War period. This touches no business that IS not making abnormal profits and surely no business can reasonably opJect to making contributions from the abund- ance of it's profits. I advise that you levy a tax of not less than per cent on excess profits based upon the system of exemption and other regulations in mar mony with the practice of the general

FEW FAILURES

Discussing failure of national banks, the comptroller contrasted present con ditions with those of the panic of lS93 when 153 national banks, with liabilities of more than sS0000 900 suspended. In the first year of the war, on the other hand. there were only four national bank suspensions representing liabili- ties of about SS00,000
 An insurance premium of 50 per n1il- lion dollars of deposits would be suf- ficient to guarantee the deposits of all national banks against loss. provided the percentage of loss shown in the last four and a half years is maintained, said the report, commenting on the tee of deposits of 5000 or less. This leg many millions of dollars from their hid- ing places.
 The comptroller's report shows that between June, 1916, and June, 1918, de- posits in savings banks increased from s5 0SS, ,0O0,0Oo to s5,471, 100000, despite the large purcahses during the war of Lib- erty Bonds The number of savings de- posits also increased from Il JAS, 900 to Ill., 979, 600.
 The comptroller renewed many of his former recommendations for legislation including the following:
 To prevent officers of banks from DOT rowing from their own institutions; 10 limit direct and indirect loans to one in dividual, firm or corporation; to provide for removal of directors guilty of per sistent violations of the national bank acts; to authorize national banks to es- tablished branches, and to provide for TO- tations and vacations for bookkeepers'
