reasons therefor were clearly set forth.
One of these has just received vivid il
lustration- The National Bank of IL
linois has failed and carried down in the
wreck several other banks and num-
Der of large business houses. Among
the depositors in that bank who must
now be esteemed creditors Of the de-
funct institution was the county OF
Cook, Illinois, and the city Of Chicago.
These two had something like a cool
million of dollars on deposit in the
bank. II the better policy had pre-
vailed of keeping the county and the
city funds out Of private banking insti-
tutions the people of Cook County and
of the city of Chicago would not to-day
be mourning over heavy losses and the
probable percentage they may be able
to secure from the general wreckage.

ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES
At AtkinsOn'S Business College Yes
ferday.

Atizinson's Business College celebrat-
ed it's twenty-fourth anniversary with
appropriate exercises yesterday after
noon. The students, with invited
friends, assembled in the college hall
and listened to a very pleasing literary
and musical entertainment, after which
diplomas were presented to the gradu-
ateS.
The following programme was sue
cessfully carried out: Piano solo, Miss
Constance A. Mielenz; vocal duet, the
Misses Helms; address, Assemblyman-
elect Scott F. Ennis; piano solo, Clar-
ence Morten; recitation, Miss Lillian
Helms; presentation Of diplomas.
The musical numbers were vigorous
ly encored, and Miss Helms recitation
was very favorably received.
Mr.. Ennis delivered a short, stirring
address, replete with wholesome advice
and valuable suggestions. He remind
ed the graduates that but eight years
ago he occupied seat in the gradual
ing class of 1883 and was proud to re-
ceive his diploma. He could therefore
tender his congratulations with some
thing of a fellow feeling. Mr.. Ennis is
a ROOu -lldllu Sp-dheI oLIld puts Ills
points in q clear, concise and forcible
manner. His remarks concerning the
relations Of employer and employe
should prove beneficial to the graduate
seeking employment.
The President of the college, Profess
sor E. C. Atkinson, then briefly address
ed the graduates and gave them their
diplomas.

FREE PASSES ON RAILROADS.

In the tenth annual report Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission just
filed under the heading Free Trans
portation" the practice of giving passes
or reduced passenger rates TO shippers
or their employees, and Of issuing com
-plfrnentary passes" to persons on ac-
count of the profession in which they
are engaged or the public duties they
perform is strongly condemned. In the
official synopsis of the report it is said:
No reason is suggested why the penal
provisions Of the statute should not be
made TO apply to those who, not COM
ing within the classes specially excepted
in the statute, obtain or receive free
passes or REDUCED passenger rates, as
well as TO those who by any device So
hcit obtain or receive concessions from
established rates of freight While
suoh amendment would have deterring
influence upon many who are now will
ing, If not eager, to travel under a pass
unlawfully issued by a railway official,
1T seems doubtful whether that provis-
ion alone would operate TO completely
suppress this denloraliZing transporta-
ton practice, and the subject IS SUBJ
mitted to Congress with the general
Recommendation that suitable prohibi-
tory legislation be enacted.
The coming State Legislature will
conserve the public good II it will place
upon the statute books OF the State a
law making 1t obligatory upon railroad
companies operating lines within the
State to conform to similar require
nlentz that are enforced under the In
terstate commerce law as to lines OPP
Grating In interstate commerce and
transportation That is to say, 1t should
free transportation within the State
that is prohibited under interstate
transpor tation regulations. Such a law
should require all railroad companies
operating within the State TO file at
stated periods a full and complete state
ment of all passes issued for free travel
upon their lines, either ANIMALS or trip
passes Such official statements should
contain a detailed schedule of the
names to whom the passes are issued,
the dates. the mileage which may be
ridden, the reason for which the pass is
issued. the service performed or TO be
performed for the free transportation
granted, etc.
II should be provided in this law
to control the giving of passes over lines
within the State that to make false
report of such issuance of free trans
portation tickets and passes should be
deemed a felony and punished as such
making the State law, as said before
correspond in this respect with the pro-
visions of the interstate law regarding
Interstate transportation. 1t Is notori-
ous that an immense amount Of free
TRANSFORMATION is now given to men who
can afford to pay and ought to pay fol
being carried as passengers. The rule
should be that, save In the excepted
cases where passes may be properly
issued. a valuable or a sufficient con-
sideration must pass to the stock
holders Of the railroad corporation II
all cases where free transportation i:

LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS.

The incoming Legislature should
promptly pass bill providing that II
shall be an offense with severe penalty
attaching for any person to act as
Director of any corporation formed un-
der the laws Of this State who is not
a bona fide holder of stock in the cor
poration.
Indeed, it might be we'll to require
that Directors hould be stockholders to
a given number of shares in order to be
competent for the office. In other words
it should not be possible under our laws
for a person to serve as a dummy" Di-
rector of a body given corporate ex-
istence, privileges and rights under our
laws. The reasons for such prohlbl-
ton being injected into our corporation
laws are many and obvious. 1t is not
necessary to catalogue them, but one
most important and overshadowing rea-
son for the passage of such law 1ndi-
Gated we outline.
Under the law as it is 1t is possible.
nav. It is not uncommon, for stockhold-
ers wishing to control all the activities
and business of corporation to name
persons as Directors sufficient in num-
ber to fill the legal majority, who
are not bona fide stockholders. A share
or two Of stock is passed on the books
to their credit nominally, but is not re-
ally owned by them. They are then
elected Directors, and in that capacity
are expected to and do act as the con-
trolling interests dictate. In this way
the innocent stockholders interests are
imperiled, If the control pursues policy
that is Injurious to the business, or that
has in view the conduct of the corpora
ton in a way to freeze out the lesser
| interests.
The dummy Directors, having no in
terests at stake, are not moved by any
economic considerations, and are care
less as to what is done, or as to the
| success
More than this, they are liable to be
and often are individually incapable of
responding In damages to stockholders
for mismanagement or violation of the
obligations imposed upon them. But if
all Directors are stockholders, bona fide,
they will be moved by self-interest to
conserve the interests Of the corporation
and all the stockholders in 1t.
| Again, if the responsible and fully
solvent Directors who are largest own
ers in interest desire to wreck or en-
barrass a corporations business, they
NAV absolve themselves from liability
! by voting against the scheme in hand,
while the dummy Directors, being in
solvent or having but little that can be
pursued to respond in damages, vote
/ by direction and understanding for the
uneconomic or wrecking proposition.
For the law now provides that those
who vote in the minority are excused
from personal liability, while those who
vote for the scheme that wrecks or robs
the corporation are, in the event of its
dissolution, held to personal liability. II
is true that the Civil Code now provides
that Directors must be Chosen from
among the stockholders: but what is
needed is a declaration that these Di-
rectors shall be bona fide stockholders
and not dummies, and that a penalty
shall attach making the offense, say 6
misdemeanor, for any person to act as
a Director of corporation who is not II
good faith an actual stockholder.

Priceless Vision,

The eye is one of the organs most IL
able to render life a miserable failure
and a loathsome burden. Loss of sight
is the very king of terrors, while any
impairment of vision Is a source of

sickening mental worry, to say never a
word OF acute physical anguish. Again,

is, and how essential 1t Is to have

Frank Ortega's Friends Petition the
Governor in His Behalf

Frank Ortega's Friends Petition the
Governor in His Behalf
A petition for the Communication of the
sentence of Frank Ortega, confined in
the San Quentin Prison under life
sentence for murder, has been received
by Governor Budd
1t is signed by State Senators Toner
and Henderson, Assemblyman Boothby,
Harbor Commissioners Colnon and
Chadbourne, Adjutant- General Barrett,
G. M. Shortridge and several others.
A similar petition, but with different
signatures was. presented to Governor
Markham during his term of office, but
he declined to grant the Communication.
The murder was committed in San
Bernardino County fifteen years ago.
Ortega bet on a horse race with another
man and Edward Bixby, the man whom
he killed, was stakeholder. Ortega and
one of his friends, named Jaramillo,
claimed that some Americans were
swindling them, and he demanded that
Bixby return the money he had staked
in his hands.
This Bixby refused to do and tried
to escape on horseback Ortega and
Jaramillo pursued him. firing at him as
they rode along. He fell from his horse
dead, and it was proved that one of
Ortega's shots killed him.
The men were convicted, Ortega be-
ing sentenced for life and Jaramillo
for nine years for manslaughter, but
he died before his time was up. The pc
tition is on the ground that Ortega has
behaved during his imprisonment so as
to win the good win of the prison Off
Gals; that he has filled several posi-
tions of trust and that if liberated the
petitioners think he will make an honest
and respectable citizen.
