NEW TRUST COMPANY.

The Federal Trust Company Ia
the name of a new financial institu-
tion organized in st. Louis last
week for the purpose of handling
bonds and other securities. Former
State Insurance Commissioner W.
ID. Vandiver has been elected presi-
dent and Hon. NJ. r.. Smith of
Pennington secretary. The Fed
eral Trust Company was chartered
last November with u capital stock
of $500,000, more than one-half of
which has been subscribed. Toe
men behind this institution repre-
sent more than million and a half
capital, and as 1t occupies new
field In the West, the promoters of
the enterprise are sanguine of its
success. One feature of the COM
pany is to furnish surety bonds, and
as the records of the State Insur-
ance Department show that nearly
$400, 600 was spent In Missouri last
year for surety bonds alone, large
business is anticipated from that
source.

WANTSITM MINIMUM
Senator Landee introduced Bill to
Make $1,000 Lowest Possible
Saloon Fee.
SHARE FOR THE COUNT
Measure Provides for Payment Of 5000
lis in Line With Supervisors
Resolutions.

Senator F. A. Landee Of Moline yes
terday introduced bill in the legisla-
ture to provide for a minimum license
fee of $1,000 for saloons in Illinois,
and also providing for the payment OF
portion of the fee to the county in
which the saloons are located. Under
the present regulations the city or
town licenses the saloons and the
county derives no revenue. Under the
bill proposed by Mr.. Landee, the coun-
ity will receive 5000 from each license.
$50, Suggested Here.
The bill, or that portion of it relat.
ing to revenue for the counties, was
the suggestion of the Rock Island
county board of supervisors, which at
its last session passed a resolution re
questing the legislature to adopt some
such measure. 1t is argued that the
saloon is responsible in large meas
nre for the work of the courts, and
that the county pays the expense of
maintaining the courts, and therefore
should receive portion of the rev.
enue from the sale of liquor The bill
was referred to the proper committee.
