A Notable Victory For His Attorney,
H. 7. Reed.

Washington, Feb. 3,-The Supreme
court today decided that the laws of
Iowa regulating state banks are not
applicable to national banks. The
case was that of Easton VS. Iowa. Eas-
ton was president of the National
bank Of Decorah, and was sentenced
to prison for five years under the laws
of the state for accepting deposit of
Sl00 after the bank was insolvent
In announcing the conclusions of
the court, which he said were based
upon principles and authority, Judge
Shiras said:
Congress having power to create a
system OF national banks is the Judge
as to the extent of the powers which
Shall be conferred upon such banks,
and has the sole power to regulate and
control the exercise of their opera
tions; that congress has directly dealt
with the question of insolvency of
such banks by giving control to the
secretary of the treasury and the
comptroller of currency who are au-
thorized to suspend operations of
such banks and appoint receivers
thereof when they become insolvent,
or when they fail to make good any
impairment of capital, that full and
adequate provision have been made
for the protection of the creditors of
such institutions by requiring fire.
quent reports to be made of their con-
dition and by the power of visitation
of federal officers: that it is not COM
petent for state legislatures to inter
fere. whether with friendly or hostile
intentions, with national banks or
| their officers in the exercise of the
powers bestowed upon them by the
fedral government.
Undoubtedly the state had a legiti-
mate power to define and punish
crimes by the general laws applicable
to all persons within it's jurisdiction.
So, likewise it may be declared by
special laws, certain acts to be crlmi-
nal otfenses when committed by
officers or agents of its own banks or
institutions. But tits without lawful
power to make such special laws ap-
plicable to banks organized and oper-
ated under the laws OF the United
States. e- g
This ends the prosecution of Mr.
Easton and he goes free, the U. S
courts never having obtained juriSdic.
tion of the case by commencing pro
secution, and it is now too late as the
) statute of limitation has run aud the
matter can not now be brought up
again.
H. t. Reed, of this city, his attor
ney, raised the question just decided
in his favor and has persistently
fought the case through all the courts
on this point, and recently appeared
and argued the case before the U. s.
Supreme Courtand the decision comes
in the shape of a personal victory fol
him. u

All Notaries' Commissions Will Elk
pire July 4th.

The commissions of all notaries public
in Iowa, about 1000 in number, will ex-
pire July 4 Of this year, and prepare.
tons for the issuing of new commissions
are already being made at the state
house. The task involved large one.
Yesterday the office force Of Secretary
of State Martin was busy sending out
notices to the notaries, to the effect
their commissions would expire July 4,
1903. In case the notary receiving a
notice desires renewal, he is expected
to fill up the blank attached to the
notice and send it to the governor, re.
questing renewal Of his commission.
Along with the application for arenewal
there is expected to be sent bond and
the required SIS fee. On receipt of the
application for a renewal, the bond
being satisfactory, the governor will
issue the commission, and it will be sent
out from the office of the secretary of
state. The number of commissions that
are now in force exceeds by about 5000
the number in force in 1900. By act of
the Twenty-eighth general assembly it
was provided the commissions of all
notaries public issued prior to July 4,
1900, should expire on that day. 1t
was also provided that commissions
subsequently, issued shall be for no
longer period than three years, and all
such commissions shall expire on the
4th day Of July in the same year.
