THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION

The proposition to amend the con
stitution so as to provide for longer
sessions OF the General Assembly
when necessary commends itself as
most sensible. In view of the patent
fact that the present length OF the
session is inadequate it seems that
some step in this direction should be
tlken as soon as practicable. The
session OF the legislature now in
progress, while it will no doubt re-
suit in much good, will in the whole
be unsatisfactory, and this nOtwith-
standing the fact that members have
worked zealously and earnestly, be-
cause of the mass of unfinished bust
ness which will be left unattended to
when adjournment comes, and we
may expect good deal of detective
legislation because of the haste with
which measures must necessarily be
considered and passed With over
fifteen hundred bills offered the COM
mittees are literally swamped with
work, and in the closing days chaos
is likely to reign supreme. The next
session, two years hence, is likely to
be even more confusing than the
present one because in addition to
bills not acted on by the present one,
there will be new bills in vast num-
beers offered in both House and
Senate. With the session drawing
near its close, we desire to offer felici-
tations to the members of bOtl
houses. They have performed their
duties well, have worked hard and
have shown no disposition to shirk
any task assigned them. If they fail
in any instance to come up to expee-
tations it will benofault oftheirs, but
rather on account Of the haste with
which they have had to transact i'm
portant business.

MUCH NEEDED LAWS

The present laws of this State reg

believe, from what has been told us
by wholesale merchants here and
elsewhere, that these merchants,
when an assignment smade by some
debtor. secure in most cases'Wereiy
Il pittance of the assets In the first
~place the trustee in these deeds, not
being required by law to give bond
except upon motion OF some cred
itor, in many instances dlSSlpateS
the trust fund in almost any way in
which he deems fit and the costs and
expenses Of executing the trust gen
orally consume the major portion
OF the assets. as our wholesale mer-
chants know by bitter experielIce. In
the second place the Court OF APP

mIrkable extent. For instance, III
most States clause in the deed
granting to the trustee power to
continue the business for number
of years has been held TO "hinder
and delay the creditors and is sui
ficient 10 invalidate the deed but un-
fortunately the Court OF Appeals OF
Virginia takes the opposite view and
allows this condition. More unfOr-
tunate still is the attitude OF our
highest court in upholding what are
known as release clauses. lnmost
States a clause in a general deed OF
assignment. STIMULATING for the deb
tors release from further liability to
his creditors as condition precedent
to the creditors sharing in the bene-
fits of the trust fund, Is held to be In
valid and renders the deed so; but in
Virginia. if the debtor conveys all OF
his property, such condition Is al
lowed. Among the principal enact
ments which are needed, and which
the wholesale merchants OF this State
should unite to secure, are First, a
requirement that every trustee in a
deed OF assignment should be COM
PEELED to give bond before the clerk
OF the court before exercising his
trust: second, that he should be re
Quired TO render to the clerk a COM
plete, itemized. sworn account OF his
administration for the inspection OF
creditors; third, there should be
enacted statute abOlishing the re
lease doctrine of our Court OF APP
peals, and fourth, there should he a
statute compelling the trustees to
sell Immediately upon the request OF
creditors owning a majority OF the
total debts, and this nOtwithstand-
ing any provision in the deed for a
continuation of the business by the
trustee. These are a few OF the rem
edies needed, and on behalf OF our
wholesale dealers we respectfully re-
fer them to our REPRESENTATIVES.
