its next session to invite that body to
declare certain portions of that
street, from Main street north. open
for parking purposes. 1t is most
certain that their plea will be grant

The three great life insurance COM

the Investigation into their methods.
1t is most serious matter with them.
which affects the foundation stones
of their greatness. The acknowledge
ment of President Mccall that, it was
necessary to pay millions in black
mail to various legislative bodies
proves almost conclusively that there
was something in the conduct of the
business affairs of that company
which could be used for bIackmail
against their methods. The people
of the whole country are a party in
interest in the Investigations. They
must be thorough and relentless that
the policy holders may secure their
just rights.
Good banking methods never recog-
nize that the members of the direc-
torate of any institution shall be
its largest borrowers. 1t seems that
this was one of the prime causes of
the big bank failure at Alamosa, in
volving several hundred thousand
dollars loss to the depositors. Grand
Junction suffered from the same ex-
perience once upon a time, in one of
its financial institutions. now passed
out of existence. II is not safe bank
ing and only those in desperate straits
and who cannot conduct a banking
business, not as business but as
means to further private business
enterprises, would countenance such
large loans as was made by the Shift

Whether the story Pat Grove tells
is true or false it shows that he is a
strategist of no mean calibre. Who
would have evolved such story as
Grove sets up as defense for steal

and diplomatic and would 20 far tow

Cudahy, even at the early age he was

A very keen piece of satire are
the lines below a picture of the hall I
way in the home of John A. Mccall. 1
president of the New York Life lnsur- .
anee company and which appears in /
the Post Of Wednesday. Here are
the lines: Entrance and stairway
OF Shadow Lawn, the humble little
home Of John \. Mccall" Now the
satire is contained in the fact that the
picture shows hallway exceeding
the delights of the palaces OF a Rajah
Of India. 1t is marble from top TO

everywhere. with large and shadowy
dome, which reaches toward the sky
