The “insurgents” refused to join the Democrats in their effort reduce taxes to the extent of §300,000,000 annually, and voted with Senator Smoot's Finance ( ittee for a $203 000,000 reduction.. The bill, as the “insurgents" woted for it, leaves the 1627 remain as at present.

Bank Merger (Seattle Business Chronicle.) nnouncement is made this week President of Marine Bancorpo tion, of purchase from stockholders of a majority of the capital stock of the Naticnal Bank of Com- merce of Seattle, which has deposits of approxi- mately $22,000,000 Also officially, it may be stated that it is the intention of the First Na- ticnal and Metropolitan National interests to go ahead and namalgamate ownership of those two banks in a holding organization to be called First National Corporation, with each bank retaining its own separate identity. Combined deposits of these two banks about $25,000,000. This is the outcome of negotiations from two different angles that have been in progress for E week and which aroused intense intere Seattle and attracted atention through- out Pa orthwest's banking world Stockholders of the National Bank of Com- merce had before them definite purchase offers |trom the Marine Bancorporation based upon a price of $700 a share in cash, $388 in cash and ‘(i shares of Marine Bancorporation stock, or 13.36 |shares in exchange for 1 share of Commerce, as | they might ele It understood there will change in Commerce perscnnel, continued a separate institution for the time- being; although later, in fuller develcpment of far-reaching program, National sBank of Com- merce along with National City Bank (recently acquired by Marine Bancorporation) will be con- solidated with Marine National Bank.

Marine Bancorporation is now the largest financial institution in Washington, and when comprehensive plans which contemplate acquisi- tiop of other strong banks in principle cities of Washington are ‘completed, it will take rank as one of the bigger combinations of banking capital in America. Marine Bancorporation's potential and power for constructive development of the industrial resources and commercial business of vashington is something to fire the imagination of men of vision who take the long look ahead.

Memories of a famous Seattle mystery—the robbery cof the internal revenue office in March, 1920—were revived in the United States Senate recently, when Senator Dill obtained the passage of a bill to credit the account of David J. Wil- liams, a fellow Démocrat, with $22,160. Mr. Wil- liams had no actual responsibility for the loss of the money to bandits, but the Collector of Internal Revenue his business was to see that every dime reached the coffershof Uncle Sam. The relief measure was designed to ecredit his account with the amount of the loss so that it would balance. The robbery of the internal revenue office during the rush hours of collecting taxes was an exceptionally bold and well-executed affair. The bandits ade a clean getaway with their loot. No progress whatever seems to, have been made toward solving the mystery. Tt was the con- sensus of police cpinion that it was case of “just too bad.” Uncle Sam has a mighty long criminals take any of his money. Individuals are disposed to accept such losses philosophically, but not the Federal Government. Untjring sleuths keep on the trail year after year. Every phase of the crime is investigated.” No case is con- sidered entirely closed until the bracelets are on the malefactor. The enactment taken evidence as a memory when of the relief measure may be that the Federal detectives about ready to call it a day. After eight s the scent is faint and there are other crimes to investigate. The $22,160 robbery of the Seattle internal revenue office probably will remain an unsolved mystery. A Memorable Campaign.

His Guess His wife was very much inter- ested in a new outfit a friend was wearing and was trying to get a line on it from her husband, whe had seen her in it. He had about the usual success men have when trying to describe what a woman was wearing. Finally his wife, in desperation, exclaimed: “Well, what was her gown made of?"” “I should say it was made of the hole of a doughnut,” he grin- ned. \ Spring Meditation of the Man With a Lawn In spring I'm glad I'm not ‘The busy sower; But know I soon will be That kind of mower.
