LARGE EXPENSE FUNDS.
building and Loan Evils Which Leg
fslntOrs Arc Cnnsfderinr

There is no subject more talked about
among legislators than that of building
and loan association legislation and before
the present session is over there will be
lively debates and fights, both in commit
tees and on the floor, irrespective of party
over the question of throwing more rigid
laws around these associations There are
number who say that within several
years the State will be greatly scandalized
unless steps are taken to head off the
methods of some of the associations. On
one hand, there Is a clamor for the aboli-
ton of expense funds and on the othep is
cry that the associa tons will be endan-
gered by any such course. The sentiment
that paid-up stock should be taxed is gem
eral, while on the question of assessing
prepaid stock for taxation there is some
difference of opinion. There is also "a de-
mand that the excessive premiums charged
borrowers should be remeded Mr. Stot-
senberg of New Albany. has a bill already
before the House, prohibiting associations
from using the dues of members for ex-
penses. Around the hotel Hobbies in tbs
evenings stories told of how men have
lost money in associations by Withdrawals,
or how they have been oppressed
A bill will be introduced in the House
tomorrow regulating the interest and pre-
Auditor of State showing the detailed ex-
penses. The greatest complaint is against
the expense funds, the associations are
not now required to show what they pay
to officers and agents. 4 great many OF
the associations charge 10 cents dues on
each share of stock month. One of the
associations. taken at random from the
list. has shares in the neighborhood of
10000. Ten cents month dues on each
share would give the first named associa-
ton $4,000 month or $4,000 a year. Its
statement for June. 1893. shows that only
$3.50 has been transferred 10 the loan fund
from the expense fund. This association
does not differ from the others. with pos
sibly a few exceptions. Expense funds
amounting to $4,000 or $4,000 a year are
held by many TO be excessive. and should
no, be raised unless large part of them
revert to the loan fund. The fear is ex-
pressed that too much Is paid out in sal
aries and TO agents. The scope Of the as
sociations has broadened wonderfully since
the beginning of the system in the State
some years ago, and now many of the as
sociations partake of the nature of a gen.
eral banking business.
Paid-up stock is issued a guarantee

ASKS THE COURTS ASSISTANCE
In the Collection of Back Taxes from
the Gallup Estate.


Attorney John W. Kern, representing
County Treasurer Holt, filed a petition in
the matter of the Gallup estate late yes
terday evening in the Circuit Court. The
petition sets up the allegation that there
is now due the county the sum of SCI, 1884, SO
from the estate of the late William 2.
Gallup. The courts attention is called to
the fact that the executor has as part
of the assets of the decedent's estate a
large sum of money, to-wit: $4,000. and
large number of negotiable bonds and other
securities readily convertible into money,
to the amount of $S50,OO0, a sum more than
sufficient to pay the delinquent taxes due
from the estate. 1t is ayerred that since
the making of such assessment the county
treasurer has demanded and has been re-
fused payment by the executor. The court
is asked to issue an order commanding
the executor to show cause within five days
why such taxes should not be paid, and at
a final hearing require payment OF the 1ull

entreaty by Maj. Seward to be taken

THEY PASSED IT UP.
RELIEF COMMITTEE DOES NOT
FAVOR DETROIT PLAN OF
CARING FOR UNEMPLOYED.
1t Would Require Heavy Expense
to Introduce 1t Here, and De-
trOiters Don't Like 1t.

The citizens relief committee met
In the mayors office yesterday after
noon and listened to the report of sub
committee on the Detroit agricultural
plan of dealing with the unemployed,
and upon the advisabilty Of adopting d
similar plan here. The Detroit plan,
as has already been published, consists
In giving the unemployed the use of
land, rent free, for the purpose of rails
ing vegetables thereon for their own
use.
The subcommittee reported that let
ters had been written to Mayor Pin
gree, of Detroit, and other prominent
citizens. In response the subcomnit-
tee received number of letters, in
Guiding one from, Mayor Pingree, who,
after relating what had been accom-
pl1shed by the plan last summer, praised
the scheme highly. But the general
tenor of the replies from the RESPONSE
BILE business men of Detroit, was not
-reaSSuring, SO the subcommittee re-
ported. The majority of them thought
the plan unwise, and cited instances in
which people who were granted the
use of land already plowed, and were
furnished with seed and tools, wanted
pay for their labor in raising the veg
etables which they were to consume.
In conclusion, the subcommittee es-
stinated that from $3.50 to 81 900 would
: have to be raised to give the plan a
lair trial here, and, In view Of the i'm
possibility of securing any such
amount of money, and also because
the plan does not seem expedient in
cities of a scattered population, the
committee concluded that it would not
be wise to introduce it in st. Paul. It
was suggested, however, that if any
members of the citizens committee de-
sired to experiment, that q subcommit-
tee might be appointed to secure the
free use of such land as worthy people
might apply for. 1t was further rec
commended that no expenditure be-
yond that of blowing the land be in
CURED, and that applicants be re-
quired to furnish the seed and tools.
In Detroit they were supplied with
everything, which savored too much OF
charity.

GIRLS MORE LIABLE
TO ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES
THAN THE MEN.
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER
Reports as to the Frequency of
Accident Among Factory
OperGf ives.

Some interesting sta tistics have been
made public by Labor Commissioner
Powers as to the frequency of accident
among factory operatives with refer
ence to sex and age during the eight
cen months ending Dec. 81, 1894. The
figures are collated from the commits
sioners' report, which Is now in press.
Among the males over sixteen there
was one accident for every sixty en-
ployes, and one fatal accident for every
1878 employees; while among boys I'M
der sixteen there was l accident for
every SO employed, and l fatal accident
for every 189. The chance for a boys
being hurt was thus about twice that
a fatal accident among boys was seven
times as great as with those above six
teen years of age.
Among women over sixteen, 1 acct
dent occurred, on the average, to every
1,044 operatives, but among girls under
sixteen 1 accident was noted for every
90 employees. The girls are employed
under conditions 80 times as danger
Gus, relatively, as those surrounding
the adults The difference between
the relative number Of accidents to
boys and men represents the extra
hazard in factory life due to the mex
perience Of children and their lack of
judgment The difference between the
accidents of girls and women arises, in
large part, from the fact that girls, but
not adult women, are employed to OPP
crate dangerous machinery.
