Lincoln. Neb-The federal court
has made perpetual the temporary re-
straining order against Governor Shall
lenberger and members of the State
Banking board, preventing them from
enforcing the provisions Of the guar
anty banking law enacted by the re-
cent legislature.
Circuit Judge Willis VanDevanter
and District Judge Thomas C. Munger
filed the decree, holding the law un-
constitutional. being in violation Of
the constitution Of the United States
and of the state of Nebraska.
The court holds the provisions
which forbid an individual from en-.
gaging in the state banking business
without Incorporating is in violation
of the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution, and section 3, ar
ticle 1. of the Nebraska constitution
as is the enforced contributions to
the guaranty fund.
The decree makes the temporary
Injunction perpetual and taxes the
costs of the case to the defendants.
Governor Shallenberger and the mem.
bers of the State Banking board and
the secretary to the banking board
appointed by the governor, Samuel
Patterson.
Syllabus Of the Case.
The syllabus in the case is as fol-
lows:
1. Constitutional Law. Due Pro-
cess of Law. Banking. Restricting
Business to Corporations. Guaranty
Fund.
The Nebraska act of Mark Is. 1909
uaws Neb.. 1909, oh. 10, p. 6S), which
prohibits individuals from engaging In
the banking business. unless they do
SO through the agency of corpora
ton, and which also conditions the
right to engage in that business In that
form upon the making of enforced
contributions from time to time to a
depositors' guaranty fund to be en-
ployed in the payment of the claims of
depositors of any bank which shall be-
come insolvent, is In conflict with Sec
ton 1 of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United
States. which provides:
mo state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the
United States: nor shall any state de-
prive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process Of law"
and is in conflict with section of ar
ticle of the constitution of Nebraska,
which declares: mo person shall be
deprived of life. liberty or property
without due process of law" and
therefore is void.
2. Same. Void provision, when in
ducement to passage of act, renders
entire act invalid.
The provisions of the Nebraska act
Of March Is, 1909, supra, which pro-
hibit individuals from engaging in the
banking business. unless they do 50
through the agency of corporation,
and also condition the right to engage
in that business in that form upon the
making of enforced contributions from
time to time to a depositors' guaranty
fund to be employed In the payment
of the claims of depositors Of any
bank which shall become insolvent.
were the inducement to the passage
of that act, and as those provisions,
SO coupled together, are void. the en-
tire act is thereby rendered invalid.

The Squirrel Harvest.

Squirrel hunters are reaping a rich
harvest around Lincoln. The rodents
are not hard to shoot, which led to a
law a few years ago to protect them.
Now that they have multiplied ex-
tensively in the timbered stretches
of the state under this very law, and
a recent law passed gives them over
to the nimrod for two months each
fall, the results have been apparent.
hunters going out to the woods near
this city have returned usually with
as many as they cared to carry. Far
Their east in the state it is said the
supply is much greater.

of the Republic of Mexico occurred
here Saturday. Outwardly 1t was at
tended with q display of soldiery, a
blare of trumpets, a boom of can
non and a pomp of ceremony sug-
gestive of supreme authority, but in
the actual hand-clasp of the two ex-
ecutives and in the exchange of
courteous words which passed from
lip to lip, there was simple but cor
dial informality.

The State Teachers MEETING.

Inc state Je1cnerS MeeS1n9.
At the state teachers meeting to
be held in Lincoln November So the
plan for the annual banquet has been
changed. Last year an immense
union affair was pulled of at the Au.

structure or any other that could be
obtained in the city was not commo-
dious enough to accommodate all the
applicants for plates. So this year
there will be banquets in four divi-
sions. One of these, the normal
training. high schools and the junior
normal schools. has already sent out
its program and called on all men,
bers of the association affiliated with
this branch of public education to en-
roll at once if they wish to attend
the yearly spread. 1t will be held at

i'm case some one else in the family
may suffer from stomach trouble or
