Nebraska representative! put them
selves on record as opposed to any
treaty which would taxe protection
from the farmers on their wheat and
allow Canadian wheat to come In from
cheaper wheat lands. In support of
hit resolution, Colton said:
"Mr. Speaker: I with to make a
few remarks in support of the resolu
tion I offered a week ago, objecting to
the removal of the duty of 25 cents
per bushel on Canadian wheat and
also against admitting everything our
farmers produce free of duty.
"In the first place. Nebraska raises
about 45.000,000 bushels or wheat.
About 10.000,000 of this amount we

Some of you will say that Liverpool
makes the price. This is false, as 1

"Anyone who Is familiar with the
grain business will tell you that when
ever the mills of the northwest shut I
down on account of poor flour demand
It means the lowering of several cents
per bushel In the price of wheat. If
the Canadian wheat comes in free of
duty it will make our grain a drug on
the market. Why, In common sense,
should a Nebraskan be in favor of
free trade with Canada, when It
means lower prices for our grains, our
meats and our butter and eggs, and
everything we produce?
"All the howl from the east has
been about the high cost of living. We
have supported the protection theory
for years and by doing so have al
lowed the eastern people and Interests
to accumulate their millions and now,
when protection Is likely to do the
farmers of the west some good, they

TELLS OF BANK GUARANTY
Secretary Royce Discusses 8ituaton
in Oklahoma.
Lincoln, Feb. 6.---Secretary Royce
of the Nebraska banking department,
who has Just returned from his trip
to Oklahoma in search of Information
about the workings of tbe guaranty
law, will report to the state banking
board this week of what he learned
regarding details Of the system. He
will also submit recommendations as
to the amount of help needed by the
Nebraska department to carry out ef
fectively the provisions of the guar
any law here when It goes Into force.
"The Oklahoma state officials con
nected with the administration of the
guaranty plan seem to think It is quite !
a success," Mr. Royce stated. "They ;
assured me It Is working nicely and ,
has proven very satisfactory.
"The state treasurer In Oklahoma j
has the custody of the guaranty fund.
The amount taxed against each bank
It taken and handled by the treasurer,
where the Nebraska enactment will
ieave the money in each bank, merely
requiring that it be set aside as a par
tlcular fund until the state shall call
for it.
"In Oklahoma, assessments are
made for a year ahead and collected
quarterly, while In Nebraska it will
be flecessary to make a new assess
ment every six months. The law here
limits assessments to one-quarter of 1
per cent on deposits until a total levy
of 1 per cent has been made, after
which the tax shall not exceed one
twentieth of 1 per cent, but a special
contingency assessment may be made j
not exceeding 1 per cent In a single
ypar."
