by the Commercial Law League

THE Commercial Law league OF
America has designated Monday, Feb.
4, 1901, as John Marshall day and a
general movement is being made
throughout the United tates toward
celebrating the occasion. Students of
civil government need not be told the
reasons for honoring the memory of
this great chief justice, whose success
ully labored in his high Office to pre-
serve the rights Of the nation. as well
as the states in blended harmony, and
who taught us to appreciate an indie
structible union of indestructible
states"
The state superintendent suggests
to the school officers and teachers Of
the state, that special exercises in
honor of the great justice be conduct
ed in the schools Of Wisconsin on
February 4, next. 1t is not necessary
he says, to interfere with the regular
school work of the day more than to
devote, perhaps, the last hour thereof

Holton, Kas, Oct. ia decision that
is of great Importance to the commits
sion firms of Kansas City. Chicago. st.
Louis and Omaha live stock interests
generally was rendered by Judge Gep-
hart in the district court. 1t was to the
effect that the charging of commits
sion prescribed by the Kansas City Live
Stock Exchange for the purchase OF live
stock by the members of the exchange
is illegal, and that the commission can
not be collected by law. In other words,
according to Judge Gephart, the ex-
change is monopoly and it's transact
tons are in violation Of the statutes.
All other western exchanges 1t is said,
operate under the same rules.
The matter came up in the case of
Andrew Young, who in 1898 purchased,
thru Gilmore & Cooper, commission
firm at Kansas City stock yards, several
hundred head of cattle and gave the
commission men his notes, secured by
chattel mortgage on the stock. The
notes included the commission charged
by Elmore & Cooper for purchasing the
cattle. The notes were sold to the In
terstate National Bank Of Kansas City,
which took a large number of the cattle
from Young under the mortgage. Young
then sued the bank, attacking the legal
ity Of the exchange methods.

BANKERS ON BUSINESS

to require what you suggest would IN
volve tie-up of SO much of the bank
capital, all Of which We think ought to
be available to the uses OF industry and
trade. We thing general industries and
business affairs should be involved to
the smallest degree possible with gov
eminent finances. It is doubly impor-
tant that the general business should
be protected from rather than exposed
to the perturbations in government
finances when the latter are under
stress and strain. We deposit our idle
funds among the eight banks. and they
serve as an important aid to industrial
activity, while they are always subject
to our call when needed"
Commenting on the apparent reason
ableness Of the South Americans state
ment. Mr.. Gage said: "On three par
ticulars, legal tender paper money. bank
note Issues. and the keeping of the
public MONIES we pay no regard to the
opposing argument. Nevertheless the
reasons set forth by that finance min
lister for adhering to a policy SO radicals
ly at variance with our own are desery-
ing of deep consideration. Have we not
been guilty of an economic waste by
reason of our peculiar treasury system?
Permit me to summarize into several
brief propositions and expressions my
own financial convictions.
First: l believe it to be most desir-
able that the demand liabilities CT the
government known as legal tender notes
should be put In the way of retirement
and cancellation.
Second: I believe that this can be ac-
complished without any burden of in
terest cost to the public treasury.
Third: / believe that our system OF
bank note circulation can be and ought
to be SO modified as to make 1t more
responsive to commercial and Industrial
without any increase OF
risk to the bill holder.
Fourth: believe that beyond acting
as guardian and trustee for the people
In relation to national banks, the gov
eminent guaranty to bank note issues
should cease.
Fifth: / believe that the public mon
egg in excess of reasonable working
balance for daily use should be deposit !
ed in national banks. That simple |
and cafe system of distribution Of funds
can be devised have no doubt
sixth: / believe that In periods OF ma
tional peace and prosperity the public |
revenues should be somewhat in excess
Of public expenditures and that the
surplus revenue should be applied to the /
reduction Of the public debt
After presenting some statistical facts
showing the present strong and salts :
factory condition of the national finan- |
,es, Mr.. Gage in conclusion said:
Looked at from the standpoint of
true craftsmanship, 1t would appear
that the present Is the most propitious
hour in all our history, and as favorable |;
as any period we may hope for in thei
future, to enter upon reasonable and

ments of financial weakness which ex-
