put on metropolitan airs TO poke fun at
some Of the methods Of the country

before these methods cease to be native

a BULLETIN reporter took a plea.
SAINT drive up the new Kaiulani
Boulevard to the Pacific Heights
estate. The road is cut zig-zag
along the face of the mountain,
and as each plateau is reached a
higher and grander view of the
surrounding scenery is obtained.
At the present time the road has
reached an altitude of 700 feet
\ above sea level, the scenery form
ing one of the finest panoramas to
be seen on this island. From the
heights the spectator can see clear
into Punchbowl, Mount Tantalus
rising in lofty majesty, the Pauos
and Nuuanu Valleys and the city
proper lying peacefully beneath,
with the ocean expanse beyond.
The entire road has been macsd
amised, and work is expected to be
completed in another month or
two.

him to ride in partial vacuum. No
straps or two ropes or harness was en-

stout heartedness, and strength of mind

payments above mentioned, and that
If he should fail to pay such monthly
installments as they became due, for
the period of six months, the corpora
ton defendant is entitled to enforce
the payment Of the principal and in
terest on the debt, and the fines al
ready assessed, without deducting the
premiums paid, or interest thereon,
by suit against the borrower, and fore
closure proceedings against the mort
gagged premises.
In the Howells case the evil
dence shows, that the plaintiff be-
tween the Sth day Of September, 1891,
and the I'd day of July, 1898, paid sew
enty-nine of these monthly INSTALL
ments of interest, and pre-
miums" so-called If there
fore, he should be allowed the reduc-
tons, on the interest charge, accord
ing to the rule of partial payments,
each premium" payment, so-called, be-
ing treated as a partial payment of the
principal sum borrowed, he would have,
and did pay off the entire loan, princi-
pal and interest, at per cent per an
mum. before the 1st of January, 1898,
and so there would be a balance due
him. If, on the other hand, the plain
tiff is held to pay interest and pre-
mfums,'' according to the terms of his

ant.
The plaintiff asserts that he ought to
be relieved from further payment, and
ought to have the note and mortgage
Cancelled. and the alleged amount of
money overpaid, paid back, because to
enforce the contract against him, ac-
cording to its terms would be to al
low defendant to take an unconscion-
able advantage of him.
My own Judgment is that. the enforce
ment of these contracts would not be
unconscionable.
The legislature of Utah has passed a
statute allowing the organization OF
associations such as this, and in this
general charter 1T has expressly pro-
vided that, In case. of non-payment of
insEailments, interest or fines, by boz
rowing stockholders, for the space of
six months payment of principal and
interest, and fines, without deducting
the premiums paid or the interest there
ON, may be enforced by proceedings
against their securities, upon the or
der of the board of directors" and it
expressly provides that these contracts
shall not be deemed usurious.

annunl, according to the scheme pro-
vided for in the contracts accompany
ing the note and mortgage, and which
were made a part of the contract, and
which must be read together, to get an
understanding of the entire transac-
ton, which in brief was. that plaintiff
had allotted to himself thirty shares
nthe stock of this corporations Fiji
teen of these thirty shares, the plain
tiff assigned back to the company as
"a bonus" so-called, given to it by
plaintiff, in consideration of its loan
to him of the $1,000, on the conditions
and terms provided for in the. con-
tract.
The plaintiff then agreed TO pay SIS
per month as premium so-called, on
the other fifteen shares, till such time
as the fifteen shares should mature
or reach the actual and par value OF
500 per share, or $500 for the fifteen
shares, and besides this he agreed to
pay $3.50 monthly as interest on the
81, 500 till the fifteen shares OF stock
should mature which was supposed
to be in about seven years after the
allotment of them to plaintiff

plaintiff to pay for them in a certain
specified way.
AS a matter of fact however, it is
not such. The stock considered as a
thing of value or as having potential
existence, is a pure fiction.
The transaction is in fact loan OF
money by the association to the sup
posed stakeholder, with an arrange
fnent by which he shall each month re-
pay part of the principal sum loaned,
and interest every month on the whole
sum. in other words, the borrower does
not get any reduction in his interest
charge by reason of his partial pay
ments Of the principal sum, so that
when he makes the last monthly pay
ment of premium" and interest, on
the maturity of his stock, he pays
the same amount of interest as he did
the first month.
The scheme seems designed to avoid
the statutes against usury, in juris-
dietions where such statutes exist. 1t
has also other objects WHICH are law
full, and in some cases perhaps bene-
fetal.
In addition to the above burden. the
plaintiff agreed to pay certain fines,

| 1t is true in those cases, that the
party resisting the enforcement of the
contract was an assignee of the bor-
rowing stakeholder but he took the as
signnent cum onere, and with full
knowledge of all the terms of the con-
tract The supreme court in those
cases made the reservation, however,
! that it did not thereby decide a case
| between a borrowing stockholder and
the corporation in such a transaction,
but the ratio decedendi of those de-
! cisions is, that the contract ought not
to be enforced in all it's terms, by rea-
son of its harshness and unconscion-
ableness.
In the Sawtelle case the court says
THAT all the stock payments must be

such was the principal purpose Tor

Important Decision Handed Down
BY Judge Hiles.
FOUR CASES, ALL SIMILAR
EoWELLS AND OTHERS VS.. PA
CIFIC STATES, ASSOCIATION.
The Court Finds the Issues For the
Plaintiffs, Basing His Opinion On
Previous Decisions of the State
Supreme Court and Not On Any
Other Grounds.

Judge Hiles yesterday handed down
his decisions. in the cases of Thomas
T. Howells VS.. the Pacific States Saw
ings Loan & Building association, and
in the three separate cases of Brigham
W. Ashton, Mary T. Hendry and John
II. White against the same defendants,
all involving substantially the same
facts and considerations.
The decision, which is for the plain
tiffs, is of considerable Importance,
governing, as it does, a great many
building and loan society investments.
The full text of it is as follows:
The plaintiff sues to have Cancelled
a certain note and mortgage, and to
recover S6S9.95 for value of fifteen
shares of stock and money which he
alleges he has overpaid, on the debt
evidenced by the note. The note and
mortgage are parts of a transaction be-
tween plaintiff and defendant under the
scheme of an ordinary building and
loan association so-called, the defend
ant being q California corporation en-
gagged in that business in this state.
On the note and mortgage, the plain
tiff borrowed from the defendant the
sum of S1,500, which he agreed to re-
