SUGGESTED REFORMS

The present legislature, which
meets next winter. will have the op-
portunity to pass some leeisIatioh
which will make history. There h
need for considerable legislation
along certain lines. and II the present
attitude Of the two big political 'tar
ties remains as 1t is at present, thoTe
ought to be little difilculty In doins
some legislating for the people. Both
parties apparently favor . revision 81
the present tax law. In fact, bUeh
parties have been pledged tora thor.
ough revision which will In large
measure relieve the smalf property
holders from carrying the present ~
equal tax burdens. Insurance rsftfh

ties have pledged themselves. Dotk
parties have declared for Z priIn0fy
law. whereby the voters may declafs
their choice of candidates to be placod
on the various tickets. including th9
nomination of United States senator.
Besides these measures, for which
nearly, everybody has declared, there
is the county local option measuSe,
for which tho temperance elements IN
both parties are working and asainst
which the liquor interests without re-
gard to political creed will work with
all their might.
That there should be SOME radical
changes IN the municipal code as n
stands now has also been agreed by
most persons who have watched It's
practical application. There are a

which win probably have the atten,

bring men who study taxation together
and to get the best thought Of the time
before the delegates, who will return
to their respective states and use
their influence before legislatures. It
is true that much property escapes

property pays widely varying rates IN
the different states, w W.
Demands for uniformity in laws are
numerous. The divorce congress ad.
vocates a uniformity In divorce and
marriage laws. Insurance men think
there should be uniformity in ,ns,ir.
ance laws. or national control should
prevail Students of sociology coansel
the same laws in all the states to gov
ern the parole Of prisoners. The Tor
rens land law for the registration Of
titles, enacted in this state last win
ter, is a uniformity law. The national
association Of members Of the bar has
often recommended uniformity In GER
tain kinds Of legislation. The move
ments for uniformity appear to go
along with the movement for increased
national control and, in fact, they are
national rather than state, The mod
ern states rights advocates have rea-
son to be concerned about the conven-
tions and congresses to promote the
same laws on a given subject in All

New York, Nov. 15.-Comparatively
sound conditions in commercial and
manufacturing interests are indicated
by special dispatches to r. G.. Dun a

cities of the country. Conservatism
in accommodating stocks is reported in
most cases and there are many in
which working hours are being re-
duced and men laid on AS a rule,
however, the reduction in production
is not great and is taken rather as a
measure of precaution than because
of greatly diminished orders. All
New England points report reductions
in production, but do not indicate any
serious crisis.
In all the New England cities ade-
quate currency Is on hand to meet pay
rolls and to carry on business, al
though the bankers are not making
many new loans. The check system
has been introduced in few cases in
New York and Pennsylvania. At Scran.
ton, however, Wilkesbarre, Columbus
and other important points currency
is being provided for pay rolls without
resort 10 any substitutes. Some scare

are in use at Cleveland. There is some
curtailment of production at Reading,

and Indianapolis.

the case when the money stringency
first became acute. Factories are
working on full time or nearly so at

some manufacturers are talking OF

still employed and have not made no

Some reductions in output and In

A. President of the knickerbocke er

$60,o0o,o 900.

New York, Nov. 15.--Charles Tracy
Barney, the deposed president of the
Knickerbocker Trust Co., and until re-
Gently power in the financial world,
shot and killed himself Thursday in
his home. His loans with the bank, II
is said, are amply secured, and when
he was forced from it's presidency he
was, to all intents and purposes, elimi.
mated as a factor in banking circles.
What i'll effects his unexpected taking
of might have had on the financial
situation generally had long since
been discounted
In distress of mind over the dissipa-
tion of his private fortune and the loss
of his high standing among business
associates, intimate acquaintances find
the hidden drift that broke his health
and reason. And even much of his
wealth might have been saved. At the
time that Barney was dying at his
home handful of friends at a down
town Office were concluding an ar
rangement by which the loose ends of
the bankers many enterprises were
to be gathered up and financed by a
stock company which, If not wholly
successful, would at least rescue from
future financially. The conference
broke up at the announcement that
Mr.. Barney was dead.
Mr.. Barney, who was in his fifty.
seyenth year, shot himself early
Thursday while alone in his chamber
on the second floor of his home The
bullet entered below the heart and
lodged under the left shoulder blade.
He. died about 2:30 p. m. after suffer.
ing intensely.
Mr.. Barney was president of the
Knickerbocker Trust Co., which clos.
ed its doors at the beginning OF the re.
cent financial crisis. The institution
was one of the largest trust companies
in the city and had liabilities estimat.
ed at from S60.O00,O00 to S70,O00,OOO.
Mr. Barney had long been prominent
in The financial life Of New York and
was interested in many enterprises.
He was born in Cleveland, o., Janu.
