The Selection of a Trustee

The popular tendency toward the Trust
Company as a trustee is easily found when
comparisons are drawn Every one mas
knowledge of an individual trustee who has
defaulted and robbed those whom he was
appointed to protect. No such experience
ever followed the appointment of a trust
company to any such responsibilities. IT any
trust be committed to an individual there
is no assurance that he will live to execute
it, or that he will keep in such health as
will enable him to give it the proper atten-
ton. Unexpectedly mental arrangement may
come to him: and if in health he will need
recreation, or he may have business or MS
own that takes him away from home at
time when the interests OF the trust demand
his presence.
The Trust Company never dies: 1t never

is never sick; it is always at home, and It's
existence is not affected by war, pesttlence
or famine" Above all, ii is always respon-
sibe and has an invaluable reputation
which its managers are ever jealous to pro-
tect and enhance.
The Union Trust Company offers its serv-
ice to all in need of a trustee.

much praise cannot be given the successive
health boards and their efficient secretaries
Tor the prevention of smallpox in Indian
apolis. Only one death has occurred from
smallpox in fifteen years. and in that period
less than a score of cases have been sent
TO the smallpox detention hospital. Drs.

theodore A. Wagner. Charles r. Ferguson,

should be, with the thoroughness exhibited
by the people of Muncie in the epidemic of
1893, where there were $50 cases and twenty
from Aug. II to Dee. 4.
There is considerable smallpox scattered
over the South, Southwest and central
areas of the United States. It's wide dis
semination is due in part to the incidents
or the Spanish war. Ohio has had 600 cases.
The only prevention of this plague is vac
cination and revaccination it is to be
hoped that the Supreme Court of Indiana
will soon hand down it's decision in the Vfgo
Court case, now over q year before it, and
give our school authorities the power to
make vaccination compulsory on children
attending the public schools. In the mean
time Superintendent Goss the Indianapolis
School Board and the City Health Board
have taken the bull by the horns and ord
cred vaccination or dismissal from school
And il was none too early, for in some of
the baby rooms it was found that less than
10 per cent. of the children were vaccinated

Mr.. Atkins II. and L. Amendment.

Representative Akin takes exceptions to
representations made by an afternoon paper
concerning his building and loan law amend
ment. He says the statement that the
amendment would affect 20 per cent. Of the
associations is entirely untrue; that not
more than Is to 20 per cent. would lie af-
fected by the measure. Indeed, only 10
per cent. would be affected to any extent
he says. The amendment, he insists, Is de-
signed to reach those associations whose
officers are charging excessive salaries and
expenses. He quotes from the state 2uGi-
tors last report to show that number Of
the associations are paying expenses too
heavy in proportion to their assets. Five
associations show the following figures:
Assets 500, Zoo, expenses 49, go; assets $S24,-
900, expenses ST. 400; assets 1851, 900, expenses
$12,5S0; assets $5zS, 900, expenses SIS, 4S9 Mr..
Akin thinks it decidedly unfair to the
stockholders to permit such heavy expenses.
His bill provides that where an association
has assets up to 100000 the expenses shall
not exceed ? per cent. of this sum annually
end ~ per cent. on the additional $4,000.
The next 100000 has d / per cent limit at
tached to it, and all over 100000, UP to
100000, shall be limited to one-half Of /
per cent.
