The morning news., 1897-08-18

the committee authority to adopt it for
recommendation to your association"
In speaking of the merits of the new
law, the report says: a more useful or
thoroughly prepared statute on CONNER
ciaI law would be difficult to find All the
fundamental principles and essential def
nitions of the law on commercial paper,
the law, in short, of some ten thousand
reported cases. is in substance condensed
into thirty-siX pages.
The disputed points and variant laws,
whose discussion occupies so large a share
of two and three volume treaties on the
subject are decidedly harmonized. This
law has already been adopted in the
states OF New Jersey, Tennessee and Col
orado. 1t has become a law in the state
of New York, to take effect Oct. 1, 1897.
Shall we not hope that the efforts of the
bankers association, added to those of the
American Bar Association. will result in
placing the law on the statute books of
all the remaining states within a reason
able period of time. The report concludes
by recommending the appointment of
committee to correspond with the several
state associations and look generally aft
er the passage of the law by the state leg
islature.
The remaining report on the programme
was that of the committee on formation
of a bureau of education, submitted by
Chairman William c. Cornell. He said If
the DdnkcIS OF ll6 0ilit6u otdttS WOuiN GS-
tablish bureau and employ speakers TO
present the claims of the banks properly
before the public-men who could in plain
speeches show the farmer and others that
if the banks charge for a convenience, il
is the fault of legislation, and not of the
banks themselves-much of the present
hostility, which exists against banks,
would be removed.
Letters favoring the idea of such a bu-
reau of education were read from Con-
troler Eckels and others. The committee
will be ready in a short time with the first
pamphlet to be issued, and the matter of
establishing a bureau can then be taken
up and tried in small way at first, and,
if successful, it will be gradually devol-
oped.
After the announcement of meetings Of
sta te delegations for the appointment of
committees and other routine business the
convention adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
