**SHAM BATTLE," SAYS BAILEY
; "I think I can make it manifest that

roics and that this battle, which has
been waging here for days and weeks
Irwas. nothing more or less than a sham
"battle."
'Recalling incidents in the. late na
liosal campaign, Jn which he had taken
jpart; Senator Bristow declared that
"President Taft in Kansas had favored
a revision of the tariff downward and
Jie <Bristow) had been elected to the
cenate on that issue.".' y
.' "It was. then said the cost of produc
tion had been reduced and, that the
rate of duty should be reduced'propor
tionately," he explained, "and I have
endeavored to keep that pledge."
2VO REDUCTIOX OBTAIXED
The fact was,' he said, that practical
ly no reductinn had been obtained. ":'
"The tax." said Bristow, -has been
taken off hides and it has been added
to. the sole, leather suit case that' the
American citizen buys. And yet it Jias
been advertised that a reduction has

\u25a0the benefit of the American citizen. .
". "Apparently," he continued, 'the only"
thing considered in formulating, the

BANKS' CAPITAL IMPAIRED
CHANGES ARE ORDERED
Superintendent Anderson Directs Institutions
To Make Good All Deficiency H
Thirty-five banks in California under the supervision of Superintendent
of" Banks Alden Anderson show an impairment of their capital of, from 5
t0. 50 per cent, .and Anderson yesterday issued notices to make the impair
ment of deficiency within 60 days,'or he would take charge. The discovery,
that 'the -capital of- the 35 banks was impaired was .made through_the new
form of reports adopted by Anderson. \u0084
When he assumed his new July I,, he, issued a call to all state
banks for a report of their "The; blanks* sent out' were entirely
different from those formerly issued by : -the bank commission. Every- Hank
•*— — — """''was required to list the collateral held
for : loans, the date the loan expired
and other necessary .information.
Through these -reports -Anderson" dis-,
\u25a0cohered that many of the ;banks; were
not conducting a proper, banking busi^
ness. Several of the institutions had
large overdrafts— some secured,; otli- :
ers not secured. , ' \u2666
. * "An- overdraft secured or not- se
cured is not proper banking," said
Anderson yesterday, "and it must be
stopped. If a bank must have an
overdraft occasionally it should be list
ed a's aVloan and should be \well se
cured. I know : that' it has been a cus
tom among- bankers to, allow their cus
tomers to overdraw their accounts, but
it will not be. tolerated any longer."
A bank must have a minimum of
$25,000 paid up capital and if that capi
tal isimpaired to any extent Anderson
will hereafter insist that it be made
good'or he will close the bank^ Active
examinations of all banks^uhder the
supervision of the state - banking'; de
partment will begin in the next' few days
and- unless every thing "has"; been con
ducted in a proper.: manner AndersonV
will submit the same: ultimatum as he
did yesterday to the 35 institutions. '
\u25a0 Anderson left last night for Los An
geles, where he willi listen to a' plan
for. the of the Citizens', sav
ings bank; of Long Beach/ which; was
closed by the. bank 'commission sev
eral months ago.- While in the south
Anderson- will probably appoint; John
W. Wilson," examiner; for the ;Los An
geles house association, one
of : his examiners. His, staff Of exami
ners will ~ then be as follows; W. C.
Watson, H. E.f Sherer, Milton He'yne
mann, John AY.; Wilson and R. H. Bea
mer of Woodland. '
.Anderson! will also Ipok-into the af
fairs of the Lo's ": Angeles branch of
the Kimmon Ginko, or Golden Gate
bank. It is reported that the south
jern* branch is in a good condition, and.
he may allow it "to reopen as a new
institution. , _. ; . \ /.
.The report of the condition, of the
State savings and commercial and the
Union state banks will probably/bete
sued before > the" end "of the present
-week. Examiner Young has nearly com
pleted his investigations, and will re
port to Anderson about Thursday. '
vote to* send him a bill for approval
that is in violation of. his party's
pledges, and which is also," In my opin
ion, fundamentally wrong and, in many
of its details, iniquitous.
"I set up no standards for other sen
atbrs. Every man should vote as his
conscience and judgment dictate. But
I fael that had I supported this bill I
would be recreant to ray duty as. a sen
ator and unfaithful to the people who
sent. me here to represent them, and I
can not do it."
Senator Bacon express Ccl himself as
extremely anxious that . there . should
be no question as to the responsibility
of senators fow the framing of that
measure. Me had prepared a collection
of every yea and nay vote taken on
the many amendments: to the bill, to
gether with an explanation of the
method of voting in the, senate, which
he asked to have printed in the; record.
This request was granted. The table,
he said, showed the attitude of the
members of the two parties on allythe
questions presented.
Philippine Tariff Bill
WASHINGTON. Au g. 2.— Th c confer
ence report on the" Philippine tariff bill
was agreed to by the house today.
The measure is supplementary to the
Payne tariff bill and .is intended to pro
vide enough additional revenue to
make up the amount which will be lost
to the Philippine government by the
enactment of the provision for free
trade between the United States and
the Philippines.
The remainder of the session was
taken up with a- discussion of the ur
gency deficiency appropriation bill as;
amended by the senate. , ; . .' I
One of the amendments provided for
carriages for the vice president and
the speakers and all of them were dis- .i
approved. . ;
Must Stay to Vote
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.— Five repre
i sentatives were "held up" at the union
station by the sergeant at arms of the
house and compelled to remain in the
city until a vote is taken in the senate
on the tariff bill. They are Denby of
Michigan, Ashbrook of Ohio, Kelllher
of Massachusetts, Ho well of New Jersey
and Cassidy of Ohio. They were about
to board a train for their homes when
the officers of the house spoiled their
plans. Countless excuses were offered,
but the officer was firm.
Agree* to Income Tax
MONTGOMERY, Ala., "Aug. * 2. — The
house today passed the' bill agreeing
to an income tax amendment -of the
constitution of the United States.
Pulp and Paper \u25a0 .
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.— -John Norris,
chairman of the committee on paper
of the American newspaper publish
ers' association, has issued a bulletin
relating to the tariff, on pulp and
paper in which he says:
"In' the proposed tariff bill publish- |
ers have secured the abolition, of the
duty of $1.67 per ton on ground wood.
They obtained a reduction from $6 >er \
ton to $3.73 per ton on print paper— a
saving of approximately $2,700,000;' per
annum in the cost of news print paper
to consumers.
"American paper makers hold leases
on 12,000 square, miles of lands
in the iprovince 'of Quebec," for which
they pay an annual rental, and in ad
dition a fixed price ,of 65 cents for
jevery cord cut. These leases expire In
1910, and it is given out that within
three,- days of the date of. signing of
the Payne bill the terms -of the' new
Quebec" leases will be promulgated.
"It is barely possible * that Quebec
may regard the new .legislation as the
best obtainable and abolish' its stump
age tax- If it should prohibit the} ex
portation of pulp wood cut from crown
lands" the American owners of" timber
rights.- are prepared to . set up a com
plaint of confiscation; A serious tangle
is threatened with . possibilities of a
pulp wood shortage and a trade war
between . Canada, and the United
States."
How Sherman Would Vote
UT|CA,vN. V., Aug.. 2. — "I am quite
sure that the tariff bill wHI pass the
senate successfully," said Vice Presi
dent Sherman here today. ,
"If the vote Is so close that I am
compelled to "decide a tie I shalt of
'course vote for the adoption of Jthe
conference report.;
"But I don't think that It will be
necessary. The situation compels an
optimistic point of xiewS'* .' °.:: r/:L.:.'AI
