TIE TORRET BILL
The Chief Justice ofthe Supreme Court
of Alabama Favors It.


MONTGOMERY Jan. 3L-Hon. George W.
Stone, the chief justice of the supreme
court Of Alabama, who is noted by reason
OF the soundness of his views upon the sub
Jet of the integrity of commercial transac-
lions, and whose views upon Jurisprudence
are always interesting and instructive, was
called upon by reporter at Montgomery,
Ala, with a result as follows:
In reply to the question as to whether he
mad examined and considered the Torrey
bankrupt bill, which had been passed by
tine House OF Representatives, and is now
pending in the Senate, the eminent gentle
man said: Eyes, have examined that
measure and considered it very much bet
ter act than either Of those of 1910 or
When asked as to the reasons of the un-
popularity and consequent repeal of the
former bankrupt laws, he answered:
There were several reasons. Remotness
from the place of holding the bankrupt
courts deferred many creditors from giving
proper attention to the prosecutions Of
their claims, and the result was that many
of them, particularly the small ones, failed
to anticipate In the distribution Of the as
sets.
THE panding act 10 a great Improvement
on the old statutes, first, in simplifying the
machinery and reducing the expense, and,
second, In providing that controverted
questions, most of them, may be prepared
for hearing before referee, whose sitting
may be ordered to some point near the
house Of the bankrupt, and, consequently,
to place which will generally be con :
venient to creditors. l would suggest that
this duty be made imperative"
Speaking OF the provisions of the pending
bill, the judge said: "Viewed from a
moral standpoint, doubt the policy of vol
untary bankruptcy; but the principle is so
firmly rooted Ia the public mind that to
oppose that would defeat all bankrupt legis-
lation. A bankrupt system has two aims:
to prevent fraudulent preferences by secur-
ing to all the creditors alike an equal par
ticipation in the bankrupt's assets.

save those of public nature.
as of equal dignity and binding ohliga-
ton. This Is strict honesty. Its second
ann is to restore to honest debtors, who are
born down by their obligations, the power
and privilege of employing their energies
and business qualifications in acquiring an
honest living, and thus adding to the
general welfare. This last object is the
only justification or excuse for granting the
privilege Of voluntary bankruptcy. Hon
estly exercised, it leads to beneficial,
economic results. Its facile psrversion to
abuse Is the argument against itn
