ECHO FARMS CORPORATION IN
 TROUBLE.

ECHO FARMS CORPORATION IN TROUBLE.
 The farmers of Washington and Ban tam have lost heavily by the Echo Farms corporation, owing them, it is said. between $SOOO and $9OOO When
 the farmers of Washington stopped sup tplying them milk in July, the Echo Farms people owed the farmers from S2OO to $500 each, serious matter for farmer in ordinary circumstances Manager McNeil was a good promiser, but the money came in driblets, and
 the farmers finally quit in disgust. When the McNeil management took hold a few years ago business was started with a great blowing of trump cts, but the company soon fell behind
 in paying for the milk and there has been anxiety among the farmers over the outcome ever since. 1t is said of late the company has been drawing their milk supply from the Black Riv- CT country in New York state. On last week Thursday w. B. Hickox was ap- pointed temporary receiver by Judge Roraback in the Superior court and MT Holze has been appointed receiver in New York state. A petition has all so been made in the United States court to have the company adjudged bankrupt. The company have a large creamery at Bantam and valuable prop erty in Washington and till of late had record for prompt payments, and was evidently doing a good business.

RESOLVE TO GET BUSY.

AS the time is approaching rapidly
when new resolutions will be the order
of the day, it may not be amiss to
throw out a suggestion or two as to
some resolutions which might be de-
cided on most appropriately by the
bulk of the business and professional
men of this city-the very men who are
most interested, or should be, in the
growth and increasing prosperity of
Topeka.
These men, one and all, should take
solemn resolve to put their shoulders
to the wheel and do whatever things
may fall their way which will be of
service in the advancement of the at
fairs of this commonwealth.
Already there is a medium in exist
ence through which the men of the city
can work, and the women too for that
matter, for not only the growth of the
city in population and in general pros
perity but for it's betterment in untold
ways. This medium is the Commercial
club.
For one reason or another the MEM
bers of this organization have appar-
emily lost interest in it. The meetings
are poorly attended. They might just
as well not be held at all, because the
few public spirited men who gather at
them seem reluctant to take action on
any important matter for fear that it
will not be expressive of the ideas of
a majority of the members of the club.
And because of the lack of interest
shown by the members matters of i'm
portance to the city's interests are not
brought before the club as they used
to be in times past.
No milder term than disgraceful can
be applied properly to the conduct of
the members of this club for the atten-
ton, or rather lack of attention, that
they have given to civic affairs during
the past eight or nine months There
were no meetings at all during the
summer months. The meetings which
have been held during the fall have not
been attended by a corporaPs guard.
There were so few on hand for one
meeting that it was deemed best not to
attempt to go through the empty
form of holding it. The annual banquet
on Topeka Day was dispensed with be-
cause of lack of interest on the part of
the members look over the records
of the club will show that the only i'm
portant thing which has been accom-
plished in months was the action
pledging $4,000 to aid in the construc-
ton of the eka-Southwestern Rail-
way company. And this action was
more in the nature of personal pledge
on the part of the directors of the club
than It was on the part of the club
itself
Certainly the duty Of the business
men to the city and the club is not linn
tied to paying their annual dues and
lacking their names to subscription
lists which are ever circulating around
the city for some purpose or another.
Maybe If the members of the CONNER

cial club would do their full duty to
themselves and their city the necessity
for such numerous subscription lists
would be obviated.
One night a month does not seem
much time for a business man to be
asked to devote to a discussion of the
affairs of a city and the determination
of such steps as should be taken for
the betterment of the interests of the
whole people. No doubt the men of
the city would be surprised at the great
amount of good that they could accom-
plish by getting together in numbers
once a month, or oftener, and exchang-
ing views on plans for the development
Of the city. Results of concerted &C
ton along these lines would be mani
fold
Not much is heard these days of the
cry "Seventy-five thousand in nine
teen hundred and eleven" Its realiza-
ton, or even partial realization, will be
out of the question absolutely if more
interest is not taken in the city's well
fare by its business and professional
men.
So let them all make at least one new
resolution on January 1, 1908. Let them
resolve to get together at the Com
mercial club and get busy with work
that will be bound to make Topeka a
greater city and better place to live
In. It's pretty good now but it can be
improved in many ways

A CURRENCY PLAN.

/ There seems to be plenty of good
food for thought in the suggestions OF
Henry Clews as to the changes needed
in the currency and banking laws for
purpose of averting money panics
like the one from which the country
is now so rapidly recovering. Mr..
Clews presents these views in his
weekly letter on the business condi-
lions throughout the country, during
the course of which he declares that
the recovery in the financial world in
the last seven days has been wonder
fully gratifying.
In the matter of currency and bank
ing reform, Mr.. Clews. whose views are
always worthy of careful considera-
ton, prefers a scientific and elastic
currency system based upon bank as
sets, or something like the following.
to provide for periods of great money
demands:
Authorize national banks to in
crease their circulation to be called
emergency circulation to the extent Of
say, 20 per cent of their paid up capt.
tai. to be issued upon approved saw
ings bank securities, to be deposited
with the comptroller of the currency
and to be taxed to such an extent as
to compel the speedy return and can
collation. of such notes when the BUSH
ness needs no longer exist for the ad-
ditional currency.
Should congress fail to provide an
elastic quality to the country's CIR
rency system, Mr.. Clews suggests that
the government issue emergency
notes. not to exceed $10O,0OO.000
during periods of great panics, and to
banks only, to be held by them as re-
serve. these emergency notes to draw
per cent interest and have six
months to run, subject to renewal for
an additional three to six months at
the discretion of the secretary of the
treasury, by consent of the president.
Such a measure of relief would work
like the Bank of England's back log
method. Whenever great panic oc-
ours in England the Bank of ENGLAND
is authorized to suspend it's charter
act, which admits of issuing increased
Bank of England notes without re-
quiring a corresponding amount Of
gold to be held against same. This
has always been found to end panic
at once. The above plan would sup
ply what is now very much needed in
our currency-an automatic move-
ment at a time VIII en- most needed. AS
matter Oh TACT, II DelnS Known tnat
relief would be always forthcoming
would be a bar against panics occur
ring in this country, such as the recent
one and that of 1873, when money was
almost unobtainable on any terms
This plan of issuing emergency elastic
national bank reserve money would
remove the necessity of a central ma
tional bank. which is now being agi>
tated to a considerable extent. Such
a bank will never be acceptable to the
banks now existing, as it
would diminutize all of them. The
jealousy of bank officials would cause
tn EN- to exert their influences against
such a measure meeting with congress
