Use of the States Money Is Questioned
From the Elko Independent


The Carson News says that a scheme is being incubated in Reno
to place the funds of the State Treasury in the banks of the State
The general plan, according to the News, is about as follows:
That the payment of taxes be not suspended as proposed, but
that the taxes be collected as usual. Further, when the money is
collected and the State receives it's share and the various counties
are apportioned their respective amounts, that the State and coun
ties be authorized to deposit the funds in the various banks, making
the banks State depositaries. The banks will give the State or
county, whichever they may secure a deposit from, State, municipal,
Government or other bonds or securities to secure the deposit
The deposits will be subject to "call' at any time.
In this way it is claimed that from 100000 to $780, 900 will
be distributed throughout the State to the banks from the State
Treasury. and several times that amount from the various county
treasures.
The law now permits the County Treasurers to place the coun-
ty funds in banks, subject to the approval of the County Commits
sioners. The State constitution prohibits the State from loaning its
credit or money, but it may be claimed that money merely deposit
ed in banks. subject to "call," is not loaned.
But, however this may be, the only safe plan for the State is
to keep its money in the State Treasury, where it can be had when
wanted. Suppose the money now in the State Treasury had been
deposited in the banks, before the panic, in what condition would
the State now be in? Its money would be tied up just the same as
that of other depoitors whose money was put in the banks subject
to "call' The Reno scheme should die a-bornin.

The following joint resolution
introduced in the California Leg.
islature last week by Senator San
ford on the subject of "elastic cur
rency' is in the right spirit, and
will no doubt be generally approx

Resolved, BY the Senate
and Assembly of the State of

our Senators and Represen-

quested to support any fea-

object additional elasticity in
the currency to be provided

Government, and to oppose
all measures having for their
object the issuance and con-
troll of such additional cur

ASSESSING NoSAssEssABLE STOCK
California Court FavOrs Proposition
Under Certain Conditions

A report is in circulation about the
local stock exchanges that one OF the
little companies Of Tonopah is figuring
on levying an assessment OF two cents
, share. in order to stave off foreclosure
proceedings. Its treasury stock is ex-
hansted and the shares are now selling
below ten cents in the market. The
rumor has been discussed with consid'
cradle i~nteres, on the street, for this Is
the first time that talk of levying an
assessment on any Of the Southern Ne
vada shares has been heard.
The company in question was ineor'
porated under the laws Of Arizona. and
its certificates declare that the stock Is
July paid and non ~-assessable. So far
as the wise men of the local exchange
know, the Arizona non-assessable law
has never been tested. but the Supreme
Court of California has held in sub
stance that there can be no such thing
as worcestershire shares when the com
pany funds are exhausted, and an IN
d~ebtedness exists without any means oi
raising more money except by means Of
taxing the stock. This decision wa:
rendered in the case Of the Meadow
Valley Mining Company, which did
business in California and owned prop
erty at Pioche, Nevada. When tbs
company was organized the stock was
sold with the agreement that it would
not be assessed San Francisco Re.

Careful comparison of the recon-
