NEW BANK STOCK
NEARS 100000
Sale Taken as Expression of
Confidence on Part of
Depositors.

Subscriptions for stock in the new
proposed Hamilton National Bank
merger today were understood to be
nearing $1,0O0,00O.
This substantial showing was at
tributed by officials not only as an
expression of confidence on the part OF
depositorS and stockholders in the
seven member banks. but also fore
cast of the banks opening around the
first of next month.
Since July l falls on Saturday and
the following Monday is the day be-
fore a national holiday, it was inti-
mated in reliable quarters that the
probable opening would be wednesday,
July 5.
Stock Sales Pushed.
Meanwhile subscription committees
for the seven member banks continued
to push forward their campaign to sell
stock and directors called in person
upon depositors to solicit their sub
scriptionS.
In some quarters it was predicted the
total might go over the million marx
within the next "a hours.
The new bank is building capital
structure OF S1,250,000 out of the sale
of stock at $25 a share at par value OF
SIC.
Some controversy still appeared to
center around the United States Saw
ings Bank. the latest member to JOIN
the merger. Col. Wade H. Cooper,
president of the bank, insisted he had
been unable to get access to the ilst
of depositors in his efforts to reopen the
bank as single institution.
Petition Reported.
There were reports that a petition
had been circulated to support move
ment for this bank to go into merger,
but Treasury officials said they knew OF
no such petition Col. Cooper intimated
he might resort to court action in his
efforts to reopen the United States Saw
ings alone.
Wilbur H Zepp, conservator and vice
president of the United States Savings,
who has agreed to sign a contract
merging that bank with the Hamilton
National, continued his efforts to sell
stock in the new merger.
The Franklin National is still en-
deavoring to reopen alone and was
pushing its sale of preferred stock in its
own reorganization plan.

Canadian.Mined Radium
Soon to Be on Market

OTTAWA, Ontario.-Several grams OF
radium. which have been extracted
from pitchblende taken from the de-
posits at Great Bear Lake. in Canada S
northwest territories, will be mace
available by chemists Of the Federal
Department of Mines early in 1888.
Under a new process OF extraction
developed by Canadian chemists, the
pitchblende is concentrated to one part
of radium in 100000, the best record
made by any country by very high
margin. This concentrate Is virtually
free from all other impurities save
barium and represents 95 per cent OF
the radium in its original ore. After
the Canadian concentrate has passed
through the refinery the rad1um Will De
Sc to SO per cent pure.
BY the new Canadian process the
tihe involved in the production of the
radium containing 96 to SO per cent
will be three months instead of six
months, as in the case of other proc
esses.
w. A. Gordon, Canada's minister Of
mines, in discussing the new Canadian
process, stated: Fortunately for the
new field and fortunately for humanity,
the Canadian process, we believe, will
permit as great If not a greater per-
centage of recovery involving a shorter
time and less complicated operations
than any of the known methods.
have every confidence that Canada will
be able to supply not only our domestic
needs of radium for therapeutic, scien-
tific and industrial purposes, but will
be able to enter world markets"

oro- British or anti-British, it Is not
hard to predict what the South Irish
peasants and farm workers will do
They are stanch Republicans, come
what may. And since they are likely
to have to draw in their belts anyway,
they reason it is better to starve as free
men than as British economic vasSals
The woman vote also will be a factor.
Ordinarily Irish women are not inter-
ested in politics. but De Valera's ro-
mantle personality appeals to them.
Much as Herbert Hoover won the Amer
ican women's vote in 1928 on the myth
that he saved starving Belgian babies, u
so will De Valera profit by the feminine
vote of South Ireland and even the
cities.
When the De Valeraistas won control
of the government a year ago, they did
SO on platform which promised abol-
shment Of the hated oath to King
George. They also were pledged to pro-
test the land annuities, a payment
which. according to British admissions,

To do this. however. he will have to

nation while he seeks new markets for
Irelands produce If he receives a
clear-cut majority he can carry through
such a program, even though the price

To some extent the real issues are
clouded. Every one who speaks against

for Cosgrave will be tantamount to

will stand.
An important factor in the election
may be the Republican army. which

Italy Warned Against
Boost in Tax Rates

ROME.-The pressure Of Italian tax
alton has now reached the point where
any increase would injure economic ac-
tivity without yielding the sums required
to balance the budget and the Govern
ment must turn to borrowing for that
purpose, the court of audit asserts in
its report to Parliament on the fiscal
year l930-3l.
This decision was reached after the
court had calculated that, despite the
hard times, the yields from taxes dur
ing the fiscal year 1930-31 and the
first half of 1882 were SO per cent
and II per cent, respectively, greater
than the yield during relatively pros
porous year like 1926-27. In other
words, the country is paying much
higher taxes out of much lower incomes
Not only are the sources of income
exhausted, the court reports, but the
governments expenditures-like those
in other countries-are exceedingly
difficult to reduce. Substantial reduc-
ton is impossible, according to the
