PROPOSED BANK Legislation

That congress will be urged to make
some notifications Of the national bank
ing law, with view to imposing restric-
lions upon the officers and directors of
banks In tho matter OF loans and en-
dorsements, is indicated in reports from
Washington. It is stated that TREASURY
orncials are considering the matter and
one OF the suggestions is that there
should be added to the bank statement
an item which will show clearly the aR-
gregate amount of money loaned bv
each and every bank TO fits officers and
directors, and also the amount OF paper
which they have endorsed in their own
institutions. 1t is pointed. out that such
data is now conveyed to the CONN.,
troller's office IN the regular process NJ
bank examinations, but the Office has no
power beyond the enforcement of the
law and the law has no provision as 70
the amount Of endorsements that NAV
be made by n bank officer on paper held
by his own institution.
In the judgment OF treasury officials
what Is needed now is such legal proyi-
sion as will warn the public as to con.
ditions IN banks which, although not I'm
violation Of the law. are not wise. II
Is remarked that could these be made
public by the insertion OF an item IN the
bank statements showing gross liabill-
ties Of officers, people would have a val.
liable check upon the operations Of the
institution. II is the opinion that this
would largely diminish the present evil
The suggestion seems JudiciOus and we
can conceive Of no reasonable objection
TO II. II Is perhaps true that as a rule
bank officers are careful to keep within
safe limits in the matter OF loans and

WESTERN OIL DEVELOPMENT.

1t is announced that negotiations have
been virtually concluded for the finan-
cling Of great oil company and pipe
line project for the Indian Territory and
Kansas oil fields. The statement is
that options have been taken on terri
tory with daily production of 10000
barrels and arrangements have been
made for a pipe line from Chanute
Kan, to Port Arthur. on the Gulf of
Mexico, where the Gulf Refining COM
burg paper of few days ago reports
the arrival in that city of prominent oil
producers from the Kansas and Indian
Territory fields with the purpose of clos
ing deal for their properties. 1t was
understood that bond issue for $1,000
900 will be underwritten by Pittsburg
trust company to provide funds for the
building of a G50-mile pipe line from
the fields to the Gulf refinery, which
has a daily capacity of 10000 barrels.
1t has heretofore been supplied from
the Texas oil field
The syndicate is said to be composed
of men who are abundantly able to
carry out the project and who will have
no difficulty in securing whatever fnan-
cial aid they may require. If the ar
rangement is consummated, of which
there appears to be no doubt, there will
follow rapid development of the oil
fields of Kansas and the Indian Terri
tory, the value OF which has not yet
been fully demonstrated. The syndi-
cate, If its project is put into effect, will
become a competitor of the Standard I'M
less it should form some sort of ALI
ance with the trust, which is of course
possible. Indeed 1t may turn out that
the Standard is behind the project,
though there Is nothing at present to
indicate this. Suspicion that such may
be the case, however. is altogether nat
ural, since 1t would be quite in line with
the policy and practice of the trust. At
all events the rapid development of
these western oil fields is assured, with
great material benefit to the regions
producing the oil.

THE UrNrAH RESERVATION

The opening Of the Uintah reservation
IN Utah. for which all the preparations
will be made, probably will be marked
by a repetition OF the struggle and ex-
element which has characterized tho
opening Of other Indian reservations,
though the attractions in the present
case seem not to be so great ms in some
OF the preceding openings. According
to the commissioner Of the land office,
speaking from information obtained
from the agents Of the office, who have
inspected the lands, there are not over
500 claims on which anybody can live.
He is reported as saying that undoubt-
eddy great many people who make
filings will he disappointed and in an
interview he especially warns old sol
diers who may be contemplating taking
up land In the reservation. The com
missioner is quoted as follows: II don't
want to see people disappointed. At
every drawing / ever attended there
have been lot OF disappointed people
such disappointments would be partic-
ularly pathetic in the case Of old SOL
diers. II these registrations
are to be undertaken in good faith there
will be dlsappolntments; IL not in good
faith, they are speculative and ought to
be discouraged for that reason"
On the other hand 1t is said that the
reservation contains a great deal Of
good land and has resources of very con-
siderable value. Meanwhile there is a
good deal of complaint in Utah regard
ing the course Of the commissioner Of
the general land Office. He is charged
with having so expressed himself as to
practically warn away Gentle migra-
ton to Utah to secure lands In the res
ervation and so strong is the feeling
that petition to President Roosevelt is
being signed asking that Commissioner
Richards be removed. In a late issue
the Salt Lake Tribune vehemently de-
nounces the commissioner and urges his
removal. 1t is unfortunate that there
should have arisen any trouble Of this
kind, but 1t probably will have no mp
preciable effect upon those who are in
tending to secure lands in the Uintah
The area to be opened is
extensive and undoubtedly there will be
a demand for every acre Of It.

RIPENING GRAIN WEALTH.
What the Harvest for the Present
Year Means TO Americans,

that there will be great wheat crop this

OF July reports do not mean 30 very
much, as the critical period OF the oron
has not yet passed, and there may, be rust
drouth, hot winds and storms to reduce
the total in a measurable degree before
harvest time. There will be the usual
number OF conflicting rumors regarding the
condition OF wheat, and the spectators
WIN make merry. as usual, over these
reports, but in any event the crop win
surely be one to tax the resources OF the
railroads which have to move II. The
prices this year are at a point where many
farmers would like to move their oron
promptly, and there will be plenty of
money in the country to do It, according
to the recent bank statements, but the
problem OF occurring cars will come up this
season just as surely as 1t has done In the
past
The railroads In the wheat belt have the
crop as their largest item Of freight. vet the
moving of the crop does not occupy mora
than few months OF the year al MOST

RESPONSIBILITY or AUTOMOBIJIST
A few days ago the Illinois supreme
court rendered a decision involving the
liability of automobiles for injuries
growing out OF illegal driving Of their
vehicles. While this decision may not
directly affect the Automobiles in other
states, It establishes a precedent that
will doubtless be followed by the courts
OF other states and communities that
have enacted laws regulating the speed
Of automobiles.
The case in point was one where an
automobile being driven faster than if
teen miles an hour, the limit prohibited
by the statute Of Illinois, met a carriage
drawn by a team of mules, which be-
came frightened and upset the carriage,
seriously injuring some OF its occupants.
The Illinois supreme court holds that the
automobilist had a right to use the state
highways, but must exercise reasonable
care and caution for the safety of others
and must not violate the state law regu-
lating the speed Of automobiles.
The attorneys for the defense In this
case objected to the law as unconstitp-
tlonal on the ground that 1t was "class"
legislation. but the court bEpshed this OBJ
lection aside with the declaration that
the state properly exercised it's police
powers by regulating the limit Of any or
all vehicles for the general protection Of
the community. The court in its lengthy
opinion also declares that no driver Of a
horse need signal to the automobilist, but
that the latter must exercise reasonable
care and diligence in the propulsion of
his machine and DECIDE how far what he
is doing is endangering others and II
possible avoid such a result.
incidentally the court holds that the
required care and diligence must be rea-
sonable for an automobile driver, that is
to say, he must give due consideration to
the nature of his vehicle Racing and
speeding with machines beyond the limit
fixed by law is, therefore, a risk which
Automobiles assume and they conse-
quently become responsible for any in
jury or damage inflicted when they are
speeding in violation Of the law. With
these responsibilities constantly in view
the owners and drivers of automobiles
will be more apt to keep within the
bounds of'safety and Of the law.

MEXICAN MONETARY REFORM.
Last Lingering Arguments Lost to
Free silver Fanatics.
D.ft


Without much sound of trumpets the
government of Mexico put in operation the
gold standard about two months ago, and
already the beneficial effects of the change
are felt in all branches Of business, Consul
Griffiths, at Matamoras. writes to the State
department at Washington that the new
measure of value is most satisfactory to
business men, especially in the Industrial
and commercial centers Of the republic.
The transition from silver to gold has been
accomplished with little disturbance, and
has been accompanied with a degree of
confidence in business stability hitherto un-
known in Mexico.
In some portions of the interior the popu-
lation is accommc dating itself to the change
more slowly, but even there its good re-
suits are becoming realized. What greatly
promoted the financial reform was the
policy OF the government in spreading in.
formation of the impending change
throughout the republic. Besides, while
the gold standard was generally advocated
by the newspaper press there was no or
ganized party resistance to its adoption.
and few demagogVes to preach the blessing
and beauty Of the double standard to OPEN
mouthcd audiences. With the successful
adoption OF the gold standard in Mexico
the last lingering argument is lost to the
fanatics OF free silver in this country. IL
any such stu exist.

without abating IN the slightest degree

fair and proper 20 concede the advantages
OF unionism without lawiessness.
The business houses which are taking
back their old transfers are doing 30 be-
cause the old men are more efiicient than
the temporary substitutes who were hired
during the strike. There can be no doubt
OF that.
Membership In a union involves a certain
sense Of responsibility, and while this re-
sponsibility has been disregarded by pro-
portion of unionists It Is recognized by a
larger proportion Of them.
Union men are, as n general thing, actual
citizens and permanent residents of the
places where they are employed, Nonunion
men are more likely to be unsettled in
their habitation and consequently less TO
be relied upon in the long run.
This Is a free country and every man IL
entitled to earn his living whether he Is a
union man or a nonunion man. There Is no
reason why the open shop principle should
not be accepted by unionlsts, because. other
things being equal, the unlonlst will all
ways enjoy an advantage over the nom
unionist In securing and retaining work.
This is one of the benefits of organization
The average employer win prefer union
labor because. II the union be wisely and
honestly conducted he has to deal with a
centralized, responsible authority instead
of with individual workmen who are re-
sponsible to no one save themselves.
1t is altogether likely, therefore, that the
union teamsters who have been on strike
will in a majority Of cases be restored to
their old positions within a comparatively
short time. This will happen because, in
spite of their mistakes, due in great part
to inefficient leadership, the strikers are,
after all more valuable TO their employers
than new men can be.
We may be sure, too. that the lesson OF
the strike will not be lost upon the strikers
and that unionism in this town will be the
better for the demonstration that 1t cannot
win in an unrighteous cause, though II will
triumph when the right is on Its side.
