ern hardwoods into California, and will
this year experiment with chestnut,
hickory, Eastwood, red oak, and vel
low poplar or tulip trees. Small
patches of these trees will be planted
near the forest rangers cabins on the
national forests, and if these do well
larger plantations on a commercial
scale will soon be established on wider
areas.
There are over 125 different species
of trees in California, a number of
which produce some of tina most val
liable varieties of lumber in the coun
try. Although considerably over one
half of the species are hardwood Or
broad-leaved trees yet, with the excep-
tion of the exotic eucalyptus, there
is not a single species of hardwood
here ranging in commercial import
ance with the leading eastern hard
woods. Climatic conditions in many
parts of California are undoubtedly
favorable for the growth of a number
of the valuable hardwoods, and the alb
sence of these trees is due mostly
to unfavorable, factors of seed dis
tribution.
If the experiments are successful,
a valuable asset will have been added

ATToRNEY-oENERAL SUGGESTS
MODIFICATION OF POLICY
FORM.
Statement Is in Answer to Question
of Comptroller of Currency as to
National Banks Power in
Guaranty Contracts.

WASHINGTON, May LIT is a
matter for the discretion of the direc-
tors and officers of a national bank to
determine whether they will enter in
to contract with an insurance COM
pany guaranteeing the banks solvency
said Attorney General Wickersham in
an opinion forwarded Monday to sec
rotary of the treasury, MacVeagh.
This discretion, says the attorney gen
eral, is "to be exercised in view of the
solvency and general financial con-
ditions of the company making the in
surance and the reasonableness of the
rate of premium"
Mr.. Wickersham says that after the
form of this policy is modified to con-
form to the suggestion he makes, in
his opinion, he sees no legal reason
why bank may not enter into such
contract.
The attornsy generals opinion. is in
reply to a recent letter of the comp.
troller of the currency asking as to
the power Of national bank to enter
into a contract of this kind and trans
hitting to the attorney general "a
form of policy which is proposed to
be organized"
"As a general principal" the at.
torney general says, Il have no doubt
that it is entirely within the powers of
a national bank to contract for the in.
surance of its assets against loss"
But" Mr.. Wickersham says, 1.-The
form of the proposed policy submitted
by the comptroller is somewhat pecul-
lar and the contract Hereunder is, in
effect, an agreement to pay to the
banks any deficiency in it's assets up
on realization necessary to enable it
to pay all of its liabilities of every
kind. One paragraph seems to the at.
torney general to be objectional as
committing the bank to a profit shar.
ing feature, which might be contended
to entail a corresponding liability for
losses.
Mr.. Wickersham advises that this
paragraph he eliminated from the pol
icy. The attorney general also says
he very much questions the legality of
another provision in the policy which
subjects the bank to a periodical ex-
animation by the examiners of the in
surance company without notice and at
such times as the company may elect,
one of such examinations to be within
each period of six months covered by
the policy and all renewals thereof
Mr.. Wickersham at least questions its
enforcibility. He quotes section 5241
of the revised statutes, which he says
while not prohibiting the bank from
permitting an examination of its books
does opearte to prohibit the bank from
Officiating itself to permit such exam
nations. If the covenant to insure
can be considered as in any respect
dependent upon this agreement to per-
NIT examinations it might be vitiated
by the unlawful provision. He advises
that the clause be reframed so as to
make it clear that the agreement to
insure is not dependent on the failure
to permit the examination, although It
might be stipulated that in case at
any time the examiner of the company
showed not be allowed access to the
books Of the bank for making an ex-
animation, the company should have
the option, upon reasonable notice. to
determine the contract.
