The Credit CLEARING House.

There is an institution in New York
thing. 1t is supported by the savings
banks and other loan associations for
the sake of protection against unscrup-
ulous borrowers. In short, it reports
on mans moral standing, just as Dun's
Agency reports on mans financial
standing. IL might well be called the
clearinghouse Of character. The fol-
lowing incident that occurred within a
short time illustrates its value:
A man, whom we will call Smith,
went 20 u savings bank to negotiate u
loan of ten Thousand dollars. He was
to open grocery store. He exhibited
evidence of assets to the amount ol
sixteen thousand dollars, and thu,
proved the loan a safe one.
The president Of the bank told hin
to come back in week, when the mat
ter would be decided. Meanwhile hi
referred Smiths case to the Credit
Clearing House. At the appointed
time Smith returned.
Il am sorry, said the president, Nv,
caunot advance you the Ioan.''
"You saw my books" exploded thu
disappointed man. .'You found my as
sets as represented there
s'Yes," assented the president, rising
to terminate the interview. ..Youl
money matters were all right, but 20,
lied to your landlord. You told hin
that the bank had given you the loan
and on that false representation Undue
ed him to make improvements. w,
can lend no money to a liar. Coos

Widest Market In Half Century.

This line, il formed, would be COM

No matter what a man may have dons

LEGISLATIVE EVILS.

One OF the greatest evils OF a legisla-
tive session in this, or any other, state
is the result of trading 1.-The cold and
unblnshing bartering OF one vote for
another without taking into considera-
tion the merits OF measure that IL Is
proposed to enact into law. Men are
sent to state legislature who have u
pet hobby to push through; they begin
to talk II among the members from the
first day OF the session and invariably
wind up the conversation by asking
what bill or law their listener wishes
passed. An answer TO the question
gives the trader his cue. II the victim
shows his hand he is Immediately made
acquainted with the fact that he can
have so many votes for his bill il he
will give his support to the measure OF
his new formed friend. This process
is repeated with varying success, and
if the manipulation is shrewd enough,
he will manage 10 yet his bill through
before the bills % his victims get out
OF the committee. He generally man.
ages to get on the most important COM
mittees where his influence is used 70
prevent an early report on the measures
OF those who have been caught in his
drag net. He trades his one vote for
as many votes rs there are dupes to be
caught by his willy methods. This leg,
islator seldom, il ever. uses his con
science. Occur d Alene Press.
The NEWS has mentioned this evil
and warned Legislators of the state
against it for number of terms, bu'
to no perceptible good. But few biil'
have been passed in the Idaho legisla
ture on their merits. The majority ha'
been gotten through on the barter ant
trade system. 1t was that way in tn,
beginning, is now and apparently eve
will be.
