Ruling win Be Made.

A temporary Injunction enjoining
the governor and the other defendants
named in the bank guaranty case was
issued, and restraints the banking
board named under the status from
taking possession Of the books and
papers of the present banking board.
restraints them from interfering with
the plaintiff banks, and from enforc-
ing any of the provisions Of the bank
guaranty act, and Sam Patterson. who
was appointed by the governor to act
as secretary of the new board. is re-
strained from taking charge of the de-
partment The order was signed by
Willis Van Devanter, circuit Judge.
and T. C.. Munger, district Judge. Of
the federal court. No decision on any
of the constitutional questions in
volved was given. and, both parties
cOnsenting it was ordered by the court
that the case be submitted for the
final decree. The demurrer was filed
by the attorneys for the state and the
case is now before the court for de-
cision on the decree Counsel for Nie
state was given until July 20 to file a
brief in support of their demurrer and
five days will then be allowed the
counsel for the banks in which to
make their reply. The court will then.
at their convenience. pass upon the
constitutionality of the law. though
Judge Van Devantcr stated that de-
cision would be handed down in a
comparatively short time. In case the
circuit court should decide the law I'M
constitutional the Injunction would
be made permanent and the case
would be appealed to the federal SUI
preme court. In case the circuit
court should hold the law to be con-
stitutional. the law might or might
not be enforced pending the hearing
before the federal supreme court. In
the latter case the counsel for the
banks would apply for writ of super
sedeas, which the court might or
might not grant. If it saw fit to grant
the writ in such a case the effect
would be that while they regarded the
law constitutional it should not be en-
forced pending the decision of the
United States supreme court on the
case It is thought by some lawyers
that should the circuit court decide In
favor of the constitutionality of the
statute it would refuse to grant the

Riaht to Refuse to Buy Hogs.

Has a firm or corporation or individ-
ual the right to go into community
and buy hogs from one farmer and re-
fuse to buy hogs belonging to another
farmer? Is such practice discrimina-
ton and against public policy? These
are the questions which farmer out
near Ainsley has asked the state rail-
way commission. He wrote to the
commission that a firm bought his
neighbor's hogs, but refused to buy his
and he desires the commission to is
sue an order prohibiting the firm from
discriminating. In answer to the
queries the commission said it had no
Jurisdiction in the matter. but sug.
gested that the aggrieved person might

TREASURY IS SHORT
DEFICIT, HOWEVER, NOT As
LARGE As EXPECTED.

About $1140o0,000.

pleased at the present showing Of the
government finances. Ordinarily de-
felt in the government revenues Of
SIS, 811. 156, as shown by Thursdays
statement, would not be matter of
congratulation. Nevertheless, at the
close of the fiscal year 1909, the treas
ury officials express much qualification
that the Official estimate of deficit of
$114. ZOO, 900, made last December. has
not been verified and are hopeful for
a continuance of the improvement
which has been especially noted dur
ing the last four months.
Since the December estimates were
submitted to congress, however. the
receipts and expenditures have shown
marked irregularity. and as late as
February last the expenditures were
increasing at such a rapid rate, and
the revenues falling of SO sharply,
that it was greatly feared the balance
on the wrong side of the ledger might
by the close of the fiscal year reach
$13O. 100000.
But a slight upturn in customs re-
ceipts was noted about the middle of
December. improvement was slow,
however. until about the beginning of
March. when large importations were
made. probably induced in part by the
prospective tariff changes. The re-
suit, both of improving revenues and
the strong holding down of expendi-
t,,~n hoC tod IN
duced deficiency:
The customs receipts for the year
aggregated 1901, 2U9, 1868, which is an
increase as compared with last year
of $15,O0O.OOO. The internal revenues
produced $246.s29. O63, a decrease of
about $5.OOO.OOO. Miscellaneous re-
ceipts from all sources during the
year aggregated 1904 .432.S46. which is
an increase over last year of $780,
900.
On the side of expenditures, the
total for the year was $694, .0O2,
which is an increase over 1908 of
about $37,OO0.OOO.
The civil and miscellaneous expend-
itures amounted to $164,28S,5 38. an
increase of $5.OOO,OO over last year.
The War department expenditures
aggregated $164,1OO.242, an increase of
s40,O0O.000. The navy account is the
only item in the list to show a de-
crease, the figures for the year being
$115.98S,869 as against $118, 780, 233 for
the year 1908.
Pension payments for the year
amounted to s161. $50 ,423, an increase
of about $8,6OO,OOO.
The expenditures on account of the
Panama canal were 100000 less
than for last year, being $31, 420,2S6.
1t is fully expected that the new
fiscal year will start with a series of
monthly deficiencies, notably for July,
when the new appropriations made by
congress become available. July last
year resulted in a deficiency of $24.-
$4,000, and this would have been
nearer $4,000. OCO had it not been for
the anticipation of about $4,000
representing the last payments to the
government account of the last indebt-
edness. In July, 1907, there was de-
ficiency of $4,000, 900, and in July.
1906, another of $13,511.OOO.
