State Building Associations.

Secretary ROyse in his annual re-
port on the condition Of building and
loan associations compliments the or
CARNATIONS on their prosperity. The
report shows the condition of sixty
six building and loan associations fO7
the year ending June 80. 1907. Five
new associations were organized dur
ing the year. There were 315,372
shares in force June 80 and the num-
Der of borrowing stockholders had ln-
creased 1873 and the no~n-bOrrOwing
6.492. The increase in assets during
the year was $2.461,lO
There are some practices obtain
ing among the associations which I
believe are subject to just criticism
says the secretary. For instance. IT
is the practice of some associations
having agents soliciting loans to COT
lect a membership fee in advance. This
practice works no hardship and gives
no ground for criticism where tie
loan is accepted. However, where the
loan is rejected for any reason it is a
hardship On the proposed borrower
and could hardly be classed a square
deal. This department receives nu-
merous complaints against this prac-
tice and believes associations should
prohibit it, if for no other reason than
it leaves a suspicion often in the
minds of the applicants that the men,
bership fee is the ruling incentive with
the agent. If the loan is rejected the
membership fee should be retui nd to
the proposed borrower"

ment Of SIS 600. It was thought ct

pecial attention was called to the rec.
OmmendatiOn made by the examiner
and urging the necessity Of rigjl

completed until. November q. 1t was
found that the losses incurred during
the last five months and more espe-
cially since August Is, e disastrous
and for the entire year the losses in
Cured equal so per cent of the prem
ium income.
It was also found that the ex-
penses had increasd rather than de-
creased since the previous examina-
Zion and that for the year they were
equal to 20 per cent of the net income.

had been received from the govern
ment to pay OF the enlisted men in
the Third Nebraska regiment for the
time they went into the service as
National Guard members until they
were mustered into the army. He has
paid out during the year all of this
except $1O.S45.S5. Every effort il be-
ing made by the governor and by the
adjutant general to locate the soldier
boys to whom this money belongs,
but the work is proving a tedious job.

Secretary Junkin Reports.
Secretary of State Junkin told the
last legislature he believed he could
collect $4,000 in two years in fees IL
the law was amended &c as to in
crease the fees for filing articles Of
Incorporation, requiring the reiiling Of
brands and make the 81 license fee
for motor vehicles an annual license.
These changes were made in the law
and the estimate OF the secretary Of
state is being closely approachd. His
semi-annual report shows the collec-
ton of SIS, 354.49 in six months. This
with $12.373.72 received during the
previous SIX months makes a total Of
$27,90S.21 in fees received during the
year. This is about double the amount
ever received in one year by any pre-
vious secretary of state. tn Office ex-
pnses for the six months exclusive of
salaries amounted to $1,465.97. The
fees received during the six months
aggregated $~15,354.49.
Mother Appeals for Son.
Mrs. NJ. A. Loar of Leavenworth,
Kas., has written Governor Sheldon a
very pathetic letter asking for the re-
lease from the p~enitentiary of her
son, who a sent up from Greeley
county. The o has an application
pending before the governor for q
pardon. The mother writes that she
fully expected the son to be home by
Thanksgiving but inasmuch as he was
not she asks the executive to cheer
her declining years by allowing him
to come to her in time to eat Christ
mas dinner at his old home.
