SCOTT. LEWISTON. Idaho, March 19. Policeman Tabor tried to quell a dis turbance at the local option election. Mrs. 11. F. Tweedy, prominent tem perance worker, handed him an up per cut in the eye. The women of the church voted on her action and decid ed she was right and should have hit Tabor harder. To the Editor of The Courier: Sir: 1 notice your suggestion to discuss the merits of the Scott bond ing plan in your columns and think a perusal of the national bank act ought to effectively dispose of the matter. Before a national bank is author ized to do business, and after all other requirements of the national bank act have been complied with, its stockholders must pay in at least 50 per centum of its capital stock and the remainder in ten per cent installments at the end of each month. Also, any association, before it is authorized to transact business, must transfer and deliver to the treasurer of the United States reg istered bonds of the United States bearing interest, or Panama canal bonds as security for the redemp tion of its circulating notes. Mr. Scott's Taxpayers' National bank, in order to secure a charter to do business with a capital stock of could only have like amount of cir culation, would be obliged to pay in its capital stock in full and then could onyl have like amount of cir culating notes issued to it if it was able to buy registered interest bear ing Uuited States or Panama canal bonds at par and deposit them with the treasurer of the United States. Assuming it possible that the bank could obtain circulation by de positing any other class of secur ities, the funds would necessarily have to be placed to the credit of the proper county officers for disburse ment; and under the national bank act a bank cannot loan In excess of ten per cent of its capital stock to any person, firm or corporation. So the county could only avail Itself of the use of $330,000 of the bank's resources under any conditions. It Is fortunate that Mr. Scott can not possibly secure a charter for his bank to do business, as the results would certainly be much different from what ho anticipates, and other banks following on the same lines the consequent inflation of the cur rency would cause a more dire dis aster than any power our country has ever experienced.

This Is the reason assigned today by the Countess of Warwick for the few alliances entered into by American men and the daughters of Albion. "The men and women of today have a right," the countess con tinued, "to love as they please. It Is perfectly right for English noblemen to marry American women. I think it is just lovely."
