UNDER A NEW CHARTER.

The city charter was extensively re-
vised at the last session Of the legislature
and to us falls the duty Of Installing the
city government according to its prov
visions. That involves careful study Of
the charter itself and much patience and
wisdom in adjusting the relations Of the
different departments OF municipal
government under Il.
At present the only official copies We
have of this charter is act No. 96l of the
LAWS Of Vermont for 1906. The distri-
button of this book is so limited that it
would seem advisable that an Official
copy of the charter be published by the
city for general distribution among the
voters and city officials. The present
published ordinances Of the city are so
Anticipated and have been SO largely adj
ded to or changed that n revision of tho
ordinances should be authorized and the
revised ordinances published in connec-
ton with the charter These two matters
are of such Importance that they should
receive immediate attention.
Another matter calling for revision ana
further regulation is the issuance of
licenses TO hackmen, peddlers. auction
GERS. inn-keepers. and other lines of busi-
ness requiring licenses from tho city
council. A license to hackman or
carter should be for only one carriage.
which should he numbered and the
number always displayed thereon. The
regulations imposed for the conduct of
any business should he posted in plain
sight within a carriage or place of bust
ness Under the present method Of issu-
ing licenses the license Is used to cover
multitude of sins. The city's regula-
tons should not only require a license,
but actual regulation of the business
subject to them.

NEW YORK, Nov. Mrs. william

the custom officials at the White Star

When the custom house officers came

The recent beauty contest in America
has been responsible for a worldwide
series of beauty quests in which the
great newspapers Of Europe, Asia, and
Africa are engaged.

engaged, When it was announced that

Naturally the publication Of her pho

the American beauty with those OF
other countries. Our lovely women were
praised. but each country believed its
own fair daughters were more beauti-
ful. And so the leading neWspap ers in
the world became involved in beauty
quests.

flying from the barn door, preceded
by the sound of vigorous kicking and
a crash of tin, all followed by the APP

faster and making more noise than
the kicking COW, dented pail, and

B()OMS CARL
Minor Teller Pays Fine Tfib.
ute TO the Deputy
Z. Auditor

Minor Teller: There has been con-
siderable comment upon candidates
for state offices and suggestions made
as to the best men to be placed in
these ojces. Up to the present time
the Teller has not noticed any men,
ton made of the state authorship,
whatever. 1t is generally understood
Mr. Holmes does not seek another
term, in fact would not accept it if
rendered. In that event it appears
that the voters of the state need not
put themselves to any great trouble
in picking a new man for the place.
Mr.. Holmes deputy, Mr.. Carl O.
Jorgenson. certainly stands in line
for promotion. Mr. Jorgenson is one
of the keenest, brightest and most
thoroughly reliable and competent
young men in the state today, while
his six years of most efficient service
as deputy state auditor has won for
him a most enviable reputation; a
record far superior to men twice his
3 y ~
years; and a friendship as strong as
was ever accorded any man in the
state. His thoroug hness, his up-to-
date methods, his ability to plan and
perfect and carry into execution those
methods, are things that many a
state officer during his time has mar
veled at and talked about. Those
who best know can judge best.
Il such man is recognized by our
people they will be justly rewarded
and the Teller hopes that Mr.. Jorg-
enson will consent to become can
didate. II ne does it will be a case
of the Office seeking the man as it is
our impression Mr.. Jorgenson has
seldom, if ever, thought of such a
thing as becoming candidate for
the Office of state auditor. -

& Another extremely important fea-
ture of 5today's news was the an
Enouncement by the National City
bank that it had engaged So, 000, 900
in gold for import. It is believed by
bankers and exchange brokers that
his engagement is the beginning of
what will probably be a continuous
movement of gold to New York from
abroad. The exchange market is very
favorable for the importation of gold
and it is believed that no difficulty

and their. ABILITY to deposit proper
collateral. No limit was fixed to the
amount to be. issued, but it is hoped
that the amount asked for viii be
small.
Another step was taken, also of
the first Importance, designed to Off
set any unfavorable effect which
might be produced by the fact that
clearing house banks We're in a po-
sition to obtain certificates while
trust companies were left out of the
arrangement. The fear that the trust
companies would be unfavorably af-
feetsd by such a decision was the in

ing house committee to oppose the
issue Of certificates. The step taken
to offset this danger was the presen-
tation Of a resolution by the clear
ing house committee to the meeting
Of tho association to the effect that
the trust companies should be admit
tied to the clearing house. It was
provided that this resolution might
be considered at a meeting of the
association to be held hereafter.
Thus far there, have been no apps
| cations, by trust companies for admis-
sion TO the clearing house and the
exact conditions on which they might
be admitted have not been fixed. The
requirement made of banks admit
tel to the clearing house is that they
snail keep in their own vaults re.
serve of % per cent Of their deposits.
This is a larger reserve than most of
the trust companies have carried,
since the requirements of the law of
1906 did not go beyond 10 per cent
4 for other banks. While action takekn
today is not immediatel effective
lso far as it relates to the trust COM
panies, it shows the willingness of
the clearing house banks to coop
1 crate with the trust companies, which
greatly relieves the situation and re-
moves the danger which some have
feared, that each individual trust
company would be left to shift for
| itself, while the associated banks in
the clearing house stood firmly to-
| gether. 1t is felt by conservative
bankers that under present conditions
it will not be prudent to pursue a
narrow policy and if it is necessary
to bring the trust companies to full
fellowship with the clearing house
it will be done. g5sss @
The clearing house certificates au-
thorized today will be issued in sub
stantially the same form as those
authorized from 1860 down to 1893.
Banks desiring to obtain certificates
will be required to present their ap-
plications to the loan committee,
which will consist of the regular
clearing house committee with the
addition of FIVE other bank kofficers
who are experts in the judgment of
credits and in dealing with banking
/ matters. When the bank has sat
isfed the committee that clearing
house certificates are needed and the
| request is granted, the bank will be
required to deposit first class bills
receivable or other good collateral,
and will receive seVenty-iye per cent
| of the ascertained market val
ne Of such collateral In clearing house
certificates. These certificates will be
accepted in all settlements Of debit
balances against the bank at the
clearing house. The effect of the is
sue Of the certificates will be to leave

paired, so far as demands through
