e g A i THE BEE OMAH SATURDAY Council Bluffs CONGRESSMAN SMITH BLUNT Tells Bankers Guaranty Law ing in Near Future. Com- ALSO POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS Bankers Advised Not to L ing of the Law to Poll but to Jump in and Ald in Making It ve Drawe Bankers nf southwestern Towa who gath- ered at the ‘and hotel Thursday for an al meeting of group & of the lowa State Bankers' assoclation were told In plain language by Congressman Walter I Smith ‘that they might look for both guar- anty laws and postal savings banks in the near future and ghat the sponer they real- ized thls the better. Mr. Smith had been invited. to address the meeting on the question, “Should Bank- ers Ald in the Preparation of the Postal Bavings Bank BIl? He advised them that they should. “It will be the part of wis- dom, almost self-preservation,” sald Judge Smith, “if the bankers of this country cease devoting their time to fighting such @ law and join In the work of securing the very best measure possible. “If there is any. class of men able to comprehend the requirements of such a law, a‘law that will inflict the least dam- age upon the financial institutions of the country, it is the bankers of the coun- tey. If you leave the drawing of the meas- ure wholly to politiclans, as you call them, refusing them the assistance of your knowledge and wisdom, the law as finally framed will be far less acceptable to you. It 1s your province to suggest a way to prevent the draining of one part of the country of the currency and prevent the escape of a large percentage of the capl- tal from its share of responsibility for debt paying and taxes. It is not merely a question of the coming of the postal savings bank, but of the enaracter of the law that wiil create it. Every country in Europe has it, and the idea is uppermost in the minds of many of the people of this country, “The guaranty plan is meeting with mueh favor, not only where it has been adopted, but in almost all of the western states. 1 am inclined to belleve that it will probably become general before con- gress has framed the best Kind of a postal savings bank measure. 1f the bankers con- tinue to place themselves in the attitude of opposing these two measures they will simp.y Increasc popular clamor for the en- actment of both.” Chairman Hunter Disagrees. mes iunter of Minacn, chairman of the meeting, 3 group five, who presided ove did ngt take the view of the situa- tion as did Congressman Smith. In his opening remarks Mr. Hunter sai here have been some changes in the sentiments of the group, when most of the members, taking it for granted that the people had accepted the lead of the politicians and that a law In lowa calling for the guaranty of deposits in all of the state banks was a certainty, had accepted what they thought was the Inevitable and went home to figure the extra cost. But the people do not seem to have followed the politiclans and now about all we hiar concerning the proposed law are declarations that it is inimical to the best intercsts of the people as well as of the bankers, and that its cnactment is in the far off distance.” In the general discussion which followed visiting bankers from Omaha were invited to express their opinions. the Omaha National bank sald that so far same the law in Nebraska had not developed any disturbing influence, but that it would be at loast a year before an intelligent opin- fon could be formed. Cashier French ot the Soutih Omaha National bank declared the Nebraska bankers were beginning to regard the law with favor. Its Dbenefit, he sald, had been to secure safer and saner Inspection of the banks and thi alone would Insure against bank failur Curl F. Kuebnle of Denison, F. P ter of Hailan and D. L. Heincheimer of Glenwood spoke In favor of the forma- tion of a state board of examiners to be composed of cxperts so as to make bank examinations more than a farce. With such independent inspection, they claimed, no disturbance cpuld be made by any form of .a guaranty law“n lowa, for with the rigld investigation, incitding the in- vestigation of the bank directors, there would ;be no chance :of -bank fallures. The fdea met with favor at the hands of the meeting and the matter was ordered to be brought to the attention of the state as- sgclation at its next meeting. Opposes Postal Savings. T. H. Read of Shenandoah read an ex. haustive paper on “Postal Savings Banks Mr. Read opposed the plan as un-Ameri- can and as antagonistic to the successful business methods that have given America its prominence in the world. The argu- ments used by Mr. Read against the propo sition were fully in accord with the senti- ment of the meeting and a resolution was adopted Instructing thessecretary to send a copy of the paper to the National Bank- ers' association at Chicago.

Every reduction in assessment | | asked for was granted and even some that | were not asked for. At its previous ses- slons the board had increased the assess- ment as returned by City Assessor W. D. Hardin approximately $3,00. By the time | it completed its deliberations last night this Increase of $35,000 had not been wiped off the slate, but the assessor's figures had been reduced about $30,000, | The banks fared well at the hands of the { councilmen. In the first prace, T. G. Tur- ner, president of the City National bank, objected to the assessment of $50,000 placed by Mr. Hardin on its new four-story build- ing at the corner of Broadway and Main street. It was too high, Mr. Turner con- tended, although in answer to a question from one of the councilmen he was forced to admit the the bullding and fixtures were carried on the bank's books as as- | sots of $90,000. On motion of Councliman | Rigdon the assement was reduced from | 850,000 to $50,000. Then Councllman Jensen sald that he had been asked by the Coun- cil Bluffs Savings bank to see to it that its assessment was reduced proportion- ately if that of the City National bank was cut down. The bank owns what is known as the Baldwin block at the cor- ner of Broadway and Pearl streets, which had been assessed at $40,000. It was re- duced to $35,000, If you reduce the Council Bluffs Sav- ings bank's assessment, it is only fair that ou treat the First National bank in the | same way,” declared Mayor Maloney, and a motion to reduce the assessment of the) bank's three-story building at the corner of Broadway and South Main street from $40,000 to $35,00 prevatled Incidentally it was stated that the First National bank had filed a protest against belng ed on $167,500 of its $200,000 cap- | ‘llnl stock on the grounds that it had that | amount | invested in government bonds, which were exempt from taxation.. The | protest was laid on the table, as there is litigation involving this same question now pending between the city and the First National bank. F. 8. Cowglll, president of the Transmi sissippl Elevator company, appeared in pet son to protest against an assessment of 50,000 on the company's elevator at the Unfon Paclfic transfer. Mr. Cowglll said his company had expended $,000 in provid- ing its own fire protection and the board promptly offered to lop $5,000 off the nunY-‘ ment, leaving it $75,000. At its previous session the board had raised the assessment of $207,000 placed on the Council Bluffs City Water Works com- pary by Assessor Hardin to $325,000. This increase of $26,000 was on motion of Coun- climan Bellinger, seconded by Counciiman McMillen. It was cut off again and the original assessment allowed to stand M. Marcus objected to the assessment of $7.000 on his residence property at the cor- ner of First avenue and Elghth street and likewise to the amounts he had been assessed -on numerous pleces of property. The assessment on the property at First avenue and Eighth street was reduced to | $,000, but all the others were permitted | to stand as fixed by the assessor. County Attorney J. J. Hess and J. P. | Hess appeared to protest against the rais- {ing by the .Board of Assessment on the Day & Hess bullding on Pearl and Main streets from $9,40, as placed by Mr. Har- din, to $11,00. Thelr arguments prevailed and the assessment was reduced to $10,00), or §00 more than the assessor had placed it. Chris Straub appeared in person and pro- sted against the board ralsing the as- sessment of $16,00 placed by Mr. Hardin on his property on Pearl street, occupled | by the waterworks and the gas and elec- tric light companies, to $18,00. The board admitted it had been in error and lopped off §1,000, leaving the assessment at $17,000. | L. I. Edson and Mrs. Field objected to| | their properties on South First street be- ing each assessed at $3,300, while uxljull\im{" holdings which they claimed were equally | valuable were assessed at $2,800 and $2,50. | | te Mr. Field said his mother had paid $4,500 for ker property, while Asessor Hardin of- | fered to take an option on Mr. Edson's property for $4,000, which the latter de- |clined. The board, at”the suggestion of | Councilman Rigdon, decided to reduce both | assessments to $3,000 each. The action of the board in reducing the | assessments aroused the ire of Councilman Jensen, who declared with considerable | warmth that If he was serving on the coun- cill next year he would certalnly not at- tend any. session of the Board of Review. You have act:d like a set of big chumps,” he declared. “Here Is the city falling be- hind ifs anticipated revenues and yet you g0 and cut down the assessment of those who are I able to pay it. The whole thing 1s simply ridiculous.” Awards for Clean Yards. The judges having completed their work and reported thelr findings, Major George H.

DES MOINES, Ia, May 14—County su- perintendents of lowa, in state convention here, passed resolutions which appear to be a direct slap at the recent legislature.

He was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses from Mrs. Carrie Hamliton, a milliner, formerly of Frankfort, Kan., | by making false pretenses. The sen- tence imposed by Judge Latshaw was the maximum penalty. When Nord was arrested glowing letters, addressed to him from women In a dozen different states reaching from New York to New Mexico, were found in his trunk.

NEW YORK, May I4—Ex-President Roosevelt, in the current number of the Outlook, combats the statement credfted to Count Leo Tolstol that Bryan repe- sented the party of peace in the last presi- dential campaign. On this point Mr. Roose- velt says: “Now, there was but one pomt in the platform of either political party fn 1%8 which contained an element of menace to the peace of the world. This was the plank in the Bryanite platform which de- manded the immediate exclusion by law of all Asfatic laborers and therefore of the Japanese. Coupled with this was the ut- terly meaningless plank about the navy, hich was, however, intended to convey the impression that we ought to have a navy only for the defense of our coasts; that is, a merely ‘defensive’ navy, or in other words, a quite worthless navy." The ex-president expresses the opinion that Tolstol has “swayed or dominated only the feeble folk and the fantastic folk and that his iInfluence over *“men of action” has not been great. CHICAGO, May 4.—There was a silver | ining under the financial clouds of 1907-03 in the form of a remarkable decrease in | the number of ralircad fatalities, accord- ing to a special report made pubiic today by Slawson Thompson, editor of Bureau of Rallway News and Statistics. The re- port, which is based on statistics of the Interstate Commerce commission, savs: “There were 1,932 fewer fatalities to pas- sengers and employes in raflway accidents | during the calendar year 1908 than in 1907. | Comparing the returns of W8 with those of the fiscsl yoar 19067, the decrease in fatalitics was even more gratifying, being 72, or 43.4 per cent, Of these the de- crease in passengers killed was from 570 to 202, or nearly 48.8 per cent, and in em- pleyes from 4,480 to 2,635, or 43 per cent” Fatalities to passengers in train accl- dents decreased 70 per cent in the calendar r 1908, as compared with the flscal Tavon s - she mams iass o€ aectacus. | CONDUGTORS.
