institutions of learning, trade unions
and professional organizations to the
second class mail.
The postoff1ce department maintains
solicitor, whose task in recent years
has been largely one of inventing and
prompting little tyrannies in the postal
service. A trade union paper in this
city was ordered from the second class
mail because the subscription pay
ments did not come from individual
subscribers, but from the organizations
making up the Central Labor union.
The postoffice also forbids the sending
of papers to subscribers more than
three months in arrears. What is it to
the government what manner of sub
scription list is made up? Why should
the postmasters be troubled whether
the newspaper gets its dues paid
promptly or not?
The house of representatives did the
right thing by making it impossible
for the service to continue one form of
bullying. But the house ought to go
farther. 1t ought to start the machin-
ery for recognizing the postoffice de-
partment upon lines of good business
and common sense.-Toledo Blade.

DELIVERS ADDRESS ON
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Elliot H. Goodwin of New York
Speaks Before City Club

Elliot H. Goodwin of New York, sec
rotary of the National Civil Service Re-
form league, delivered an address be-
fore the City club at its luncheon IN
the Hotel westminster yesterday on
1.-THE Merit System and It's Application
to state and County Service"
The speaker scored the use OF pubic
office to obtain votes as rewards for
noliticaI service, and said that it was
no less bribery than the use of money
for the same purposes. He comph-
mented Mayor Gaynor and Governor
Hughes of New York on their reforms
in the city and state government.
Civil service reform is the greatest
enemy of commercialism in politics,
he said. "Tammany Hall believed that
money could be made in politics II
enough persons could be banded to-
gether with the same object in view.
Salaries in the New York city hall are
more than 100000 a year, and they
can be used to reward the falthIul.
THAT was the condition, but 1t is not
so any longer.
"Under Gaynor we have a better ad--
ministration than we have ever had
before. There is now strict enforce
ment of the civil service rules, Gov
ernor Hughes had done his part too,
and accomplished great good along
those lines.
II believe that if civil service reform
is important for the national and city
governments, it is also a good thing
for the state government"

CLEARING HOUSE BANKS
ISSUE WEEKLY STATEMENT

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The statement Of
the clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold sl0.4e4.000 more
than the requirements of the 25 per cent re-
serve rule. This is a decrease OF S3S6,OOO
in the proportionate cash reserve as conf
pared with last week.
The Financer will say:
The statement of actual conditions as is
sued bv the New York clearing house banks
on October % showed loss of cash Of only
So 1881, 900, or about half the amount indi-
Gated by the known loans OF the week.
AS loans made a further decrease of $4-
43g.7 700, this operating with the decrease
in cash brought about a contraction of ST.
4147OO in deposits. and the excess reserve
was lowered only $1,027325, making the
present surplus about the % per cent re-
quirement, $9.543425.
The statement based on averages re-
vealed very nearly the same changes IN
totals, the surplus figured on average basis
standing at 1O,463,625. The summary OF
state banks and trust companies now re-
porting to the clearing house was interest
ing in that 1t showed a cessation OF the
expansion of loans which has been so much
in evidence since the clearing house banks
have been shifting the burden of loan com
mitments to outside institutions, and for the
first time in some weeks the trust com
nantes and other institutions reported a
decrease amounting to about one and a
fourth millions in loans. and decrease OF
4S53 900 in deposits. The loans or the
clearing house banks and of the trust COM
NAMES are still considerably above deposits
and as the outflow of cash of the banks to
other centers and to Canada is not over

BANKS READY TO
FORCE UP RATES
Show of Ease in Call Money Mar
ket Is Thought to Be
Deceptive
ELECTION HURTS DEALINGS
Fears of Sensational Develop
mentS Keep Wall Street
Dealings in Restraint
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The tone of the
market was affected today by the at
titude of the banks toward borrowers.
The show of ease in the call money
market is thought to be deceptive and
due to the desire of lenders to keep
resources available for prompt recall,
in expectation of higher rates. The
placing of $4,000, 900 of one-year Az per
cent Michigan Central lots in Paris
has had an unfavorable influence on
sentiment, although indicating posi-
BILE recourse for credit needs.
The easier tone in the foreign ex-
change market in New York was as
cribed to the action of the London
money market in part and to the effect
of the sale of the Michigan Central
notes in Paris.
The approach of the last week of
the political canvass makes for spec
uative restraint and depression, be-
cause of fears of sudden and sensa-
tional developments which might
threaten a violent shift in the proba-
bilitv of the results.
There was less than the estimated
decrease in cash traceable in the bank
statement. but il outran the reduction
in the reserve requirement secured by
loan contraction and the scaling down
of deposits and resulted in an inroad
of over $1,000,000 of the surplus item
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,

bonds were unchanged on call from
