Resume of Wall Street
BY Henry Clews

vember showed the extraordinary
decline of 80 per cent, including
nearly 34 per cent in the Middle
states, % per cent in New England,
| l6 per cent in the Middle West and
! 10 per cent in the South The small
/ est shrinkage was naturally on the
! Pacific coast, where it amounted to
only about 3 per cent. New York. of
course, suffered more than any other
city, the percentage of decline here
amounting to over SO per cent. The
total clearings in all cities for the
month aggregated $4,000, 1000.
or about 4,O0O,000,OO0 less than a
year ago. In New York city the to-
tai clearinge aggregated $780,
100000, a decrease of over 3,0OO.-
100000 within the month. This is
an extraordinary shrinkage and
clearly illustrates the severity of the
late panic.
Railroads Show the Strain
The effect of lessened trade activ-
ity is already being felt in railroad
earnings; the gross total reported by
33 roads in the fourth week of No
vember being $11, 100000, a de-
crease of $163,O0O compared with
one year ago. Considering that for
years earnings have shown steady
increases ranging from 5 per cent to
as much as 20 per cent, compared
with last year, the reduction is
further testimony as to consequences
OF the panic upon trade. The fail
ures in November aggregated S17,-
$780, 600, compared with $4,000, 900
the same time in 1906. Such facts
are not presented as discouraging
features. but simply to show what
has been and to demonstrate the Sc
verify of the crisis. Now, the panic
so far as Wall street is concerned is
over and it is time to face forward
and energetically begin the process
of rebuilding.
Bottom Has Been Reached
The immediate future may seem
and somewhat depressing.
but the process of readjustment is
well under way and both finance
and industry are rapidly settling
down to healthy and more normal
basis on which to construct the next
movement. 1t is premature
to say that the turn has come. The
present depression is likely to be
protracted until all of the weak
spots have been thoroughly elimi
mated. which is not yet the case
Nevertheless, security values have
discounted the worst and are on
much more substantial and safer ba
lis than they have been for the past
I've years, Even should dividends
De reduced, as is not improbable.
nat would be no reason for further
lquidation. Present prices fully dis
ount such possibilities, and good
ecurities purchased during the past
ew weeks are sure to show hand
ome profits to those who hold them
or sufficient length of time. Busi-
less operations of all sorts will have
o be conducted with unusual con-
erVatism during the coming month.
'ut confidence should gradually re-
i've, especially as the monetary sit
Iation begins to right itself.

ferred in the body of the section, pre-
sents no inherent difficulty, the ques-
ton presents itself from which of these
two powers feature is to be taken for
incorporation into the proviso, this
feature differing under the two powers.
Under one power the area is limited to
1000 acres, under the other to 600 acres.
II would seem that if the legislature
to be operative in the provisos it would
have expressed that intention and
would have specified which restriction
as to area was intended"
The meat" of Justice Wilder's dis
senting opinion is contained i'm the fol-
lowing:
The power contended for by the COM
missioner of public lands is undoubted-
ly contrary to the spirit Of the Land
Act of 1895, which included this section
276, and which requires dispositions of
public lands to be in small areas, up .
doubetdly for the reason of encouraging
settlers and homesteaders and also of
allowing others than the very wealthy
the privilege Of acquiring portions Of
the public domain. The majority re-
cognizes that this exchange is contrary
to the spirit of that act. In constru-
ing a doubtful provision Of an action
the act as a whole and its reason and
spirit may be considered. See r. L..
Section y; Elk Parte Higashi, II Haw
437 The course Of legislation i'm these
islands shows that the tendency haC
been to limit rather than to enlarge
the power of disposing Of public lands,
and that was recognized by Congress
when it passed the Organic Act How
foolish it was to limit the amount and
kind Of public land which could be sold
and at the same time to allow an I'M
limited power Of exchange; and yet
according to the majority that is exact
lv what the legislature Of 1895 meant to
do. If that is what the legislature
meant it is within the power of the
commissioner of public lands and the
governor to nullify the whole purpose
and object of the Land Act of 1895 by
exchanging all of the public domain un-
der that act for, say, building sites in
the city of Honolulu or other lands of
equal or greater value, but unavailable
and undesirable for the purposes Of the
act. If this exchange Is permissible
any exchange is permissible That the
LEGISLATURE intended to authorize any
such power in view Of the clear pur-
poses and objects Of tho act, I can
not iand do not believe.

the legality Of officials is in question a
citizen should have the right to in
terfere. No ruling was made upon the
third ground because the whole opinion
is based upon the fourth ground, name
ly the right Of the commissioner with
the approval of the governor, to make
the exchange of lands. 1t was con-
tended by the attorney general that
one source of this authority was given
in Section 254 of the Revised Statutes.
This point is not sustained by the Su-
preme Court which holds that the au-
thority is given by Section 276. And
in discussing this feature of the case
the opinion continues:
Section 276, r. L., authorizes the COM
missioner to sell Unbiased public land
at public auction in parcels of not over
1000 acres for cash, and partly for Gre
dit in parcels of not over 900 acres for
residence and cultivation, concluding
with the proviso with reference to eX-
changes and compromises without auc-
ton sales and quit claiming the gov
eminent title in cases Of defective titles
or legal or equitable claims. The plain
tiff insists that this authority for is
suing patents in cases of exchange or
compromise IS confined to parcels of not
over 1000 acres not under lease on the
ground that it is only to such land and
such parcels that the provisos refer
