covered into the treasury the same as any other revenue He read the compromise proposition showing "that the $3 000000 appropriation provided by the house would remain in the bill and the cost of inspection would be paid therefrom In reply to a ques tion from Senator Hale he stated that the tax would amount to about one half of the appropriation i Position of the House The third conference of the day had been concluded a short time be fore Senator roctbr made his state ment At fhat conference he offer ed the compromise proposition which was met by the house con ferees vith the argument that it would be' unconstitutional on thq ground that congress has no au thority to levy a direct tax upon chattels In making his statement Senatoi Proctor said the senate conferees had agreed on practically all items but that the house conferees had positively refused to consider any compromise He then related the particulars of the provision regain ing the cost of inspection and added that

positively to join in Senators Hemenway and Hopkins objected to giving in the senate de tails of what had occurred in the conference because the house of rep resentatives could not be present to defend their own position Mr Proctor replied that hehad only spoken the truth and added that the senate conferees had exercised the greatest amiability in dealing with the house of representatives Mr Hale then in pursuance of his suggestion to let the matter lie over moved an adjournment but he subse quently withdrew the motion in order to permit an executive session "necessary to redeem within

National City bank ofGrand Rapids who delivered an ad dress of welcome on behalf pfv the Grand Rapids bankers Potter Jr vice president of the State Savings bank of Detroit responded fittingly President Address President Waters in his annual ad dress said: "Congress has Just passed a bill which affects the interests of the national banks more than any other bill passed in late years This law is eminently satisfactory to the national hankers and it is to be hoped not dis tasteful to the state banking interest In allowing the national banks to Ioan 10 per cent of their capital stock and surplus to any one individual or cor poration provided this amount does not exceed 30 per cent of the capital stock the law nas broadened the field of the national bank It unties much money that has heretofore been idle It allows national banks to take on larger lines of credit and makes them more useful to their customers "Some" criticism has been heard or that clause restrictingHthe loaning ca parity to 30 per cent of the capital In my estimation this was Had the law been simply that? a national bank was permitted to loan 10 per cent of Its capital and surplueitbe tendency would have been to accumulate as much surplus as possible "Tn such cases it become fop Tieavv avoiding the double liability of share holders which ought to be somewhere in proportion to the amount of busi ness a bank is doing must take into' consideration that the confidence of the people is our stock in trade and that every measure which increases that confidence is just so much more business started our way If tliis were not' the case the preponderance of the amount of sav ings deposits in Michigan would not exist The vest pocket reserve the amount people carry about with them be increased and bank deposits decreased and general business would suffer accordingly 4 "It is not the loss of money in times of panic that drives us close to the wall it is the loaning up of capital therefore any law tending to broaden the sphere of activity and at the same time retain the con fidence of the business public is an excellent thing" Col James Branch of New York secretary of the American association was called on for an address and responded brief ly praising President Hamilton for the excellent work which the as sociation has accomplished during latter's administration The annual reports of various officers' were received and several matters of routine business disposed of at the afternoon session: A com mittee of five men was appointed to prepare nominations of officers to be elected riday
