Government draw it out.

money in New York, and refused to turn

They loaned nearly every dollar of the

twice on the same money invested in the

National Banks.

Briefly stated, the National Banking
System, as created by the law of 1864,
is this: Any five citizens having surplus
cash to the extent of $4,000 can open up
a national bank by purchasing United
States bonds to the extent Of $4,000. The
bonds having been purchased, they are
deposited with the Government, which
undertakes to keep them safely in vaults
constructed at public expense for that
purpose. The taxpayers of the country
not only pay for the place in which the
bonds are kept, but they also pay the
salaries of the custodians of these bonds.
Upon this fifty thousand dollars worth of
bonds the Government pays to the own
ers thereof the interest stipulated in the
face of the bond, and this interest is near
ly always paid in advance, so that the
bondholder may lend out his interest and
get interest upon interest, before the origi-
nal amount which the Government owed
him as interest fell due.
The Government also prints, at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayers, $4,000 in paper
currency, called national bank-notes, and
hands these notes over to the owners of
the bonds, which have been deposited
in the manner specified The Government
charges the bondholders one-half Of 1
per cent per annum for the use of this
$4,000 in currency.
The citizens who own the bonds and
who have decided to run a national bank
lend out these notes to their fellOW-citi-
zens, at lawful interest-Whatever that
may be-and this interest can be COM
pounded at regular intervals during the
year. In the state of Georgia, for instance,
the money which costs the national bank
er one-ha1f of I per cent can be loaned
out for at least per cent. In other words,
the money which the Government sup
plies him with costs him S. on the thou
sand and he lends it out for $50 on the
thousand
Besides this, the Government deposits
with the national banks huge sums which
belong to the taxpayers, and these sums
cost the banks no interest whatever. At
the present time the national banks have
the use of about $25o,ooo,ooo Of the Gov
ernment's money, free of cost. This mon
ey they lend to their customers at va
rious rates of interest, duly compounded
at stated intervals This sum of $780,
100000 of course, is paid into the treasury
of the Government by the various tax
payers. Therefore, the literal fact is that
the people who borrow this money from
the national banks, and pay high rate of
interest to get it, are really borrowing
their own money

only refused to pay their depositors, but
they turned down the drafts drawn by
disbursing officers of the Government,
drawn on sums standing to their credit
in the banks.
Then when the Government issued
Panama Bonds, and 3 per cent Treasury
notes, the same rascally bankers, simply
credited the Government for the amount
and never paid out dollar.
Thus, without the investment of any,
thing more than a drop of ink, these ia
vored few will pocket about 100000
of the money of the Taxpayers
In what way was the benefited by
that transaction?
What good does it do the people to
have another entry Of credit on the books
OF these rascals, who already have $780,
100000 Of the tax-fund to use in their
business, free of interest?
The actual fact is that these Wall street
bankers simply got another big mortgage
on the national treasury without having
to pay one single dollar for it.

shocking conditions are allowed to per-

man announced his candidacy !,

stood squarely on the National

THE LAW MUST BE REGARDED.
Attorney General Fletcher Holds that
Two Franklin Justices Have For
feited Their Offices.

The following correspondence
between the Attorney General and
Franklin county is Of interest:
Jackson, Miss, Jan. Is, 1908.
To Franklin county,:
have your inquiry as follows:
"By order of the board of su-
pervisors of this, Franklin county,
| am writing you for an opinion
relative to the following ques-
tions. We have two justices of
the peace-eIect who failed to take
the oath Of Office on the first Mon
day in January; one, Mr.. Priest,
made his bond and sent it to the
president of the board and it was
duly filed and approved by the
president, and clerk of the chan
Gerry court on the first Monday,
though Mr.. Priest was not sworn
in. The other, Mr.. Wilkinson,
did not present his bond until the
next day, Tuesday the 7th. What
the board desires to know is, can
these men be sworn in now, or at
any time Iater,or does their failing
to appear and take the oath vacate
the office!"
Reluctant as am to give an
opinion which may disturb the
tenure Of officers who have been
regularly elected by the people,
yet | am forced to the conclusion
that both justices of the peace
have forfeited their offices.
Section 1859 of the code pro-
vides that:
Failure to qualify voids cleo
tion. IL any person elected to
any Office shall fail to qualify as
required by law, on or before the
day of the commencement of his
term of Office. a vacnacy in such
Office shall occur thereby, and it
shall be filled in the manner pres
cribed by law for filling vacancies
in such offices, unless The failure
to qualify arise from there being
no officer to approve the bond of
such officer-elect, and except the
Governor elect, when the legisla-
|ture fixes by resolution the time
|of his installation
Now SO far as Mr.. Wilkinson is
concerned, he falls directly within
the condemnation of the statute in
two particulars, both essential
prerequisites to entering upon
Che duties Of the office. He failed
both to make his official bond and
TO take the oath of Office on or be-
fore the day upon which his Off
cial term began. That he did not
qualify on the proper day Is too
clear for argument.
AS TO Mr.. Priest, he failed to
take the oath Of Office on Or before
the first Monday in January,
though he did tender and secure
the approval Of his official bond.
Now section 26S Of The constitu-
|tion requires that all officers elect
led or appointed to any Office in
this statee, kept judges and mem
bars Of the legislature, shall, be.

CITYS LAST BOND ISSUE VALID.
Interesting Legal Opinion On Subject
by Hon. A. C. McNair.

AS stated in The Leader a few
weeks ago, the Board Of Alder
men appointed Mayor Lanier and
Alderman Jones. both lawyers,
to look into the question of the
alleged invalidity of the City's
last bond issue for enlarging and
extending the city's water and
light plant. Messrs. Lanier and
Jones, in turn, called into consul
tation Hon. A. G. McNair, and
from him secured the following
written opinion, which was laid
before the Board at the adjourned
meeting Friday night:
To the Hon. Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen, of Brookhaven, Mis-
sissippi.
Gentlemen:I have carefully
investigated the legal question
submitted to me, as to the validity
of the proposed bond issue for
water works and electric light
purposes.
The statute expressly author
ICES the issuance of bonds by the
municipality for the erection or
purchase of water, works, gas,
electric and other plants. y
The city erected its water works
and electric light plants, and is
the owner thereof. It is alleged
to be necessary for the improve
ment, repair and expansion of the
plant, and the bonds are for such
purposes. The power conferred,
in my opinion, is a continuing
one, and if not expressly granted
it is at least, in the nature of
things, such an implied one, as to
Justify and make valid the bonds.
1t is useless for me to cite author
tiles upon which my opinion is
based; if needful, they can be
furnished.
In order to alIay any question
as to the validity of the bonds, /
suggest, that it may be good pol
icy to have Hon. NJ. Mccullough,
the legislative representative, to
introduce and have passed by the
legislature an act validating the
bond issue, if there is inyalidity.
Tie unbroken line of authorities
is that the legislature has such
power even after the bonds have
been issued and are outstanding in
the hands of others than the MUM
Yours truly,
A. G.. McNAIR.
Messrs. Lanier and Jones, as
lawyers, fully concur in the opin
ion above set forth.
