ENDORSES NATIONALS ACT.
Utah Association Of Credit Men An
proves of Shcrlcy Bankruptcy Act.


The Utah Association of Credit Men
has formally endorsed the action Of
the National association IN New York,
n Pushing through Congress an
amendment 10 the National Bank
ruptcy act embodied i'm the Sherley bill
OF. r.. 21,g29.)
The accomplishments of settlements
between "a debtor and his creditor IS
authorized, after he has undergone a
proper examination, but before he has
been adjudged bankrupt The object
Is. when possible. 10 relieve a dcserv-
ing debtor of the stigma of bank
ruptcy and TO facilitate his resump-
ton of business usefulness under con-
ditiou4 satisfactory TO his creditors.
Another amendment does away with
"a practise which has caused much
just complaint. The courts have REM
dered decisions, I'm effect, that IN a
debtor owes his creditors say $1,000,
and the creditor, having no security,
makes subsequent loan Of $40 to
the same debtor and takes security
covering both such subsequent and
preceding loans. his security is good
as to both loans, even within the four
months period, or perchance the day
before the bankruptcy. These deci-
sions are now being made use OF by
creditors TO secure unjust aud inequit-
able advantages over other creditors,
and are subVersive of the plain pur-
pose Of the law. that all creditors OF
the same class shall be treated alike.
Another change I'm the law is a provi-
sion that it shall apply 70 amy
moueyed. business, or commercial
corporation. except a municipal. rail-
road. Insurance, or banking corpora
ton" In effect this makes a general
rule OF application with definite ex-
ceptions. and any corporation is IN
cIuded which does not clearly come
within these specified exceptions
Heretofore the exact opposite has been
the case, and a good deal Of confusion
aud delay have resulted.
