ATTACKED
ATTORNEY GENERAL ASKS FOR
RECEIVERS
Protective Savings and Union Mutual
Concerns object of Action Taken
at Instlgation Of State
Commission

In two suits filed yesterday by Attor-
ney General U. S. Webb on complaint OF
Building and Loan Commissioners j. Z.
Transue and Albert Lindley, an ir1unc-
tion is asked restraining the directors
OF the Protective Savings, Building and
Loan association and the Union Mutual
Building and Loan association from pro-
ceeding with the business of the con-
Germs. An application is made also for
receiver for each.
In the complaint it is alleged that an
examination of the books of the Pro-
tective Savings Building and Loan asso-
citation was made July IA, 1906, by d. w,
Field and c. M. Shortridge, then build
ing and loan commissioners, and the af-
fairs found to be in a dangerous condi-
tion. When the matter was brought to
the attention of the stockholders a fur
ther investigation was ordered.
At meeting of the directors held May
% report of the investigation which
was concluded February 28 was submit
ted, with the result that resolution was
adopted authorizing the directors to wind
up the affairs of the association as ex-
peditiously as in their discretion was
considered possible.
In the report of February 28 it is alleged
the books showed q deficit of $6S, 1908
charged to profit and loss, over and above
the assets. This deficit the directors were
instructed to reduce as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t was further ordered that they
cease all new business, which the plain
tiff alleges has not been done.
Not Economical
Further, it is charged, the directors
have not proceeded as rapidly or economi-
caily with the liquidation as the circum-
stances warranted. In an examination
made by the commissioners July 81 II
was found the liabilities have not de-
creased with the same ratio as the assets
fact which is causing great dissatisfac-
ton among the stockholders
Also the plaintiff alleges the majority
of the directors in the Protective Savings
association are officers In the Union
Mutual association, which was reported to
the attorney general as being in an I'M
safe condition August 27. The offices OF
the two corporations are in the same
rooms. Both are under the same manage
ment.
The building and loan commissioners
have notified the directors of the two in
solvent corporations to hold all funds
and securities intact pending the action
of the attorney general.
Similar charges are made in the suit
filed against the Union Mutual Building
and Loan association, besides which 1t is
alleged that ever since the passage of the
resolution by the stockholders the direct
ors through lack of harmony of action
and conflicting interests, have been ut
terly inadequate to settle up the affairs
of the corporation.
Their methods are attacked as being
| inequitable to the stockholders. In eacf
| suit the same request for a restraining or
der is made and the appointment of re
| ceiver Is asked for.

GRAFT RESULT OF
CORRUPT BUSINESS
ReynoId E. Blight of Los Angeles Fell
Iowship Says Private Ownership
Thwarts Democracy-Urges
Direct Government

"All business life is corrupt Political
graft is the direct result of the dishonesty
permeating every business and profession.
Cleanse our commercial world and graft
in politics will disappear.
"Real democracy is a dream as long as
the great public utilities are controlled Ivy
and in the interest of clique of financial
kings"
Reynold E. Blight, associate minister of
the Los Angeles Fellowship, last night
thus arraigned trade in sermon at the
Prohibition Chautauqua tent on Pico
Heights. In 1t he defended the judgment
of the people in politics.
'I oppose the belief that in politics the
people cannot be trusted" he said. This
skepticsm leads to the establishment of
senates, the creation of political machines
and other Intermediates between the peo-
pie and the government. The people are
afraid to trust themselves
Democracy will not prevail in America
until the government rests squarely on
the shoulders of the people. To make
America a true democracy we must first
believe in ourselves and our ability as a
people to govern ourselves. We must
break the yoke of partisan ship and de-
velop the independence of the independent
voter. The initiative, referendum and re-,
call must be Incorporated in our city and
Women Must Vote -
suffrage must be given to women.
True democracy is impossible so long as
a very large number of our intelligent
citizens are disfranchised
.'The tendency of the times seems to
make government ownership of public
utilities inevitable.
Another great skepticism is to the
effect that you cannot kill the saloon.
The liquor traffic is the great obstacle to
human progress, and every reform must
march right through it. The cry that you
can't destroy the saloon seems childish, in
view of the remarkable progress made by
the Prohibition reform in the south during
the last six months. With Georgia gone
dry, with Oklahoma this week rolling
up majority of $4,000 in favor of pro-
hibition, with prohibitory laws before the
Alabama, Mississippi and Florida legisla-
tures with North Carolina, Tennessee and
other states almost entirely under pro
hibition. with the liquor men. panic
stricken at the onward sweep Of prohibit
ton in the north, we have every reason
