THE NEW BANK LAW,
Attorney for the state Files HI,
Brief.

| Brief.
Judge I. l.. Albert, attorney for tn,
state In the defense of the banking
law enacted by the late legislature
has filed in the federal court his brie,
in reply to the brief of John L. Web
ster and William v. Allen. II is be
lieved an early decision will be handed
down.
In discussing the right of the state
to limit the banking business TO in
corporations and the right to issue
notes for circulation, Judge Albert
[ said:
| Counsel comedies that the right ia
to issue such paper is no longer a
common law right, to be exercised at
the pleasure of the citizen, but one
that rests on grant from the state.
NOW we have already shown that it
Is one of the incidental rights which
accompanies the right to engage in
banking generally; that it is SO es-
sentially a part Of banking that an
institution without the power to issue
such paper Ia not bank. The court
VIII take judicial notice of the fact
that there Is nothing in the federal
constitution which prohibits the issu-
ance or such paper and that it is pro-
hibited by no act of congress. II it is
true, then, as counsel concede. tYat
the right to issue such paper must
rest on grant from the state, and.
that the right to engage in banking
generally carries with 1t the right to
issue such paper, does Il not follow
that the right to engage in banking
generally is no longer a common law
right, but one lawfully exercisable
only under franchise from the state?
Does 1t not also follow that the legis.
lative act under consideration, which
deals with banking generally, is to be
regarded as one designed, not to regu.
late the exercise of a common law
right, but to fix the terms and condi.
tons upon which a franchise may be
obtained and enjoyed.
I'VE come now to the guaranty fea.
ture OF the law. Counsel call atten.
ton to the brevity of our argument on
this branch of the case. Speaking
for himself. the writer would say that
one of his excuses is that his argu-
ment was prepared exclusively for
this court and not for distribution
among laymen. For that reason he
assumed that elementary principles,
matters of history and OF common
would be noticed without
an elaborate argument or citation OF

lble. Another and stronger reason |
influenced him in this respect, and |

shown that the right to do a general
banking business is no longer a com.

opinion that he has established that

To Make Fish Secure,

Heavy, half-inch glass is to be
placed In the catfish tanks in the
fisheries building at the state fair
grounds. This will be done on the
recommendation OF Superintendent
O'Brien, of the state hatcheries. He
says that fairly bulky catfish, given
a swimming start of eight feet, can
splinter an inch pine board. This is
the reason that thin glass will not do
for fish tanks.

Office holders are mainly interested in
the distribution of the patronage and
the naming OF delegates 70 the con-
ventIons. 1t is not to the interest OF
these Office holding cliques to elect
republican congressman or to bring
about party growth or party success.
of the control of the patronage.
The conditions in regard to the ac-
tiviry of unclassified federal Office
holders in politics are at their worst
in the south, but throughout the coun-
try, in accordance with established
custom, they are expected to be active
in primaries and conventions IL the
interests of those to whom they owe
their app iutnlert and by whose fav n
they are continued in Office. This leads
to neglect of official duty and atsen-
teeism on large scale, and the gov
eminent is now paying large sums in
salaries to officials whose main inter-
est and activity is devoted to politics.
while their Offices are left in the con-
troll Ct subordinates.
The active participation by per sons
who have a personal interest at stake
in caucuses, primaries, conventions
and elections seriously interferes with
a free choice of candidates by the peo-
pie, and in some parts of the coun-
try actually prevents 1t. The federal
Office holders number over 100000.
of which number 1-3 are still out
side the civil service rules. These
higher officers, welding wide political
influence through their official posi-
lions and subject to possible distation
from Washington will, as long as they
are permitted to take an active part
in politics, constitute menace to free
institutions.
AS the most effective and immediate
remedies for existing conditions, the
committee urges: Cd the extension
by the president of the classified,
competitive service to the utmost
limit that the law allows; CD legis-
lation by congress permitting the
classification of the officers whose
appointment is now subject to con-
firmation by the senate, but who per-
form merely ministerial functions;
CD a clearer definition and strength

ing political activity in the unclassi-
fed service and the vesting of the
power to investigate cases arising I'M

ACTIVITY Of FED
ERA[ OFFICIALS
OF THE REPORT OF A
SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE
FORM LEAGUE.

New York, N. Y, April g.
Reports of undue political activity
on the part of federal Office holders
appearing in the press of the coun-
try were gathered together through
the aid of an efficient clipping bu-
reau. These were examined AMI the
persons mentioned in them were writ
ten to, with requests for full informa-
ton, correction or denial The re-
plies were carefully inspected and the
most important of these cases were
followed up by an investigation by an
assistant secretary of the league, on
the spot. Final drafts of our con-
illusions were submitted to all Office
holders and political leaders who were
unfavorably involved.
Charges of coercion of oficehold-
ers by the president to secure the
nomination of particular candidate
have been inquired into, but evidence
to sustain those charges is wholly
lacking. President Rosevelt's ap-
pointment lists for considerable Pc
rioi were, with his permission, ex-
amined. From those lists it would
appear that presidential appointments
prior to the convention were made in
the usual manner on the recommen-
dations of senators, congressman
and others claiming the patronage of
the Office involved.
President Roosevelt took a decided
step in advance toward checking the
evils resulting from the activity of
Office holders in politics by his order
of June 8, 1907, amending the civil
service rules by forbidding employees
in the competitive service from taking
part in political management or politi-
cal campaigns This order was en-
forced in the last campaign.
The official roll of delegates to the
Republican National convention at
Chicago was compared with the latest
government blue book. It was found
that Of the delegates to the Chicago
convention federal Office holders con-
stituted one in ten and of the delega-
tons from the southern states nearly
one in three, and of some southern
states, more than half.
These Office holders were political.
that is, outside of the jurisdiction OF
the civil service act, and In most cases
their appointment was subject to the
confirmation by the United States SEN
ate.
The Office holders in the south prac-
|tirally control the republican party or
ganization in their respective states
end frequently resort to unfair me ans
in order to retain their power.
Their support is a tremendous po-
litical asset to any candidate for nom-
nation. AS the southern democratic
states have as many votes in the ma
tional convention as the republican
states of equal population, under ordi
nary circumstances the southern dele
gates would control the balance Of
power in the national convention.
These organizations controlled by

The man who spends his life in
prison costs more, because he has to
be more securely housed and because
the cost of catching and convicting
him must be added to the cost of
keeping him.
Even the nomadic hobo costs not
less than 500 for every year he
lives his wasted life. He spends lit
tie, it is true, upon clothes or loig-
ing or anything else, but if all the
goods that he gets by begging, bully
ing and thieving be added up, togeth-
er with the expense entailed in pre-
venting him from Citing more and in
moving from place to place, it will be
found that his life from first to last
entails the expenditure of sum
which, If expended at his birth, would
have procured him an annuity large
enough to have maintained him de-
Gently.
Regarding Annuities
The question may be asked whether
in view Of these facts, it would be
worth while for the community to
advance to every individual, either at
his birth or on reaching the age of 81
years, a sum equivalent to the total
estimated cost of his particular life.
It may be suggested that the pauper's
expectation of life at birth being Al
years and the cost of keeping him
$3.50 year, the estimated cost of his
whole life would be s6000-a sum
which would purchase life annuities
for two paupers instead of one.

WHAT It COSTS
A MAN To LIVE
FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS EX-
PENDED FROM THE CRADLE TO
THE GRAVE, DECLARES SOME
STATISTICIAN.

Has it ever occurred to you to try
to calculate the cost of mans pas
sage from the cradle to the grave?
1t is one of the essential character
istics of a civilized community that
its members are mutually dependent
upon one another for the means of
existence, says an exchange. Even
the agriculturist who grows his own
food and whose wife spins and weaves
the materials of clothing-even he
cannot live upon his own labor un-
less he has a surplus. The man who
lives in the center of commercial life
is forever taking money from one set
of men and giving some of it to an
other set. Fortunate is he, indeed,
if the dollars come in a little faster
than they go out, for they are hardly
got and too easily spent.
It costs money to come into the
wor1d-for the doctor and nurse have
as much right as the baby to liv-
ing. Nature ordains that man must
eat to live; civilization ordains that
he must pay to eat. The law and the
climate demand that we shall have
roofs over our heads and clothes upon
our bodies; neither can be had with
out money or the equivalent of
money. From infancy to old age one
is surrounded with other peoples
hands outstretched for dollars, and
even when the end comes the dead
mans purse is opened to pay for his
interment.
Result is Surprising
Strike an average of the annual
cost of your life until now; multiply
it by the number of years you are en-
titled by human calculations to sup
pose that life may last, and you will
be surprised at the result, says the
New Bedford Sentinel.
You are perhaps a young profess
sional man, earning $4,000 year.
You are only 81 years of age, and
you anticipate, of course, that your
income will increase every year.
Consider, however, only the bare cost
of your own personal maintenance;
the money spent in your education,
in nursing you through the ills of
childhood, the cost of board, lodg-
ing, clothing and other essentials to
your health and success. Suppose
we take it at an average of $1,000 a
year. The insurance company tells
you that from it's point of view you
have another 81 years to live. If
that is so, when you depart from the
world at the age of 81 you will have
paid $4,000 for the right to live so
long.
