comes from, so long as it is good and the
charge for it is reasonable. For this reason
it opposes a monopoly. 1t desires to see
the rock come from every source where it
can be reached, and it wants competition.
This is what every good citizen desires.
1t has not been explained why Mr.. King
absented himself before the second vote
was taken. He may have had private
business which was more urgent, but, if
so, it needed to have been very important
indeed. Admittedly he had excellent
company in the first vote. Those gentle
men represent important interests, and
have personal regulations of high order.
No one would think of entertaining the
slightest suspicion of their motives, and
their vote was clear expression of their
desire to live up to their regulations and
exercise their power for the City's good
Hence the vote of the whole board on this
matter is very important, and all the more
so If hereafter it should be repeated on
other occasions that present choice of
this general character. While it is not sug-
gested that those who voted for the refer
ence of this order to the committee of the
whole should be regarded as desiring to
set themselves up as leaders, it is certain
that the honesty of those Supervisors who
vote with them will not be questioned. 1t
would be fair and generous to assume that
the majority have voted without due con-
sideration. They can give evidence of that
fact by undoing their action of Monday
night or produce reasons why they should
not. Any good man may do wrong thing
inadvertently, but he will lose no time in
rectifying the wrong if he can.

that in this way the destruction of the

A bank in little town in New Hamp-
shire has devised way of escaping the in

obtaining another from the Legislature
which allows it to reorganize as mutual
savings bank. The scheme is not com
mendable in itself, but as it reveals the in
justice of the law in taxing one kind of
banks and not another, it serves a good
purpose in exposing as well as escaping the
iniquity OF this un-American statute.
