Steps Taken for a New
York National Association,
Small Depositors and Custo-
mers 10 Have Equal Protection


Washington, July GA. B. Hepburn,
president of the Chase National Bank OF
New York, will call for Friday, July 80
a meeting of the national bank of the
New York Boroughs and of Long Island
for the purpose of forming National
Currency Association as provided in the
Aldrich- yreeland emergency act. The
bylaws of the proposed association have
been drawn and improved by the Treas
ury Department and no doubt Will be
adopted by the meeting without sub
stantial change.
Two important provisions affecting ma
tional currency associations have been
made feature of the bylaws, and are
expected to remove the objections to or
ganizing which have existed heretofore
One permits the withdrawal of bank
from membership in the association
with the permission of the executive
committee and the approval of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, provided the
bank has no unredeemed emergency cur
rency outstanding The other, which Is
local for it's immediate purpose but gen.
eral in its scope, permits the nine small
banks of Long Island to become members
Of the association. This action Is intend
ed to establish a line Of policy whereby
in the formation of associations in other
clearing house districts, small banks will
be taken care Of The Treasury Depart
ment recognizes that to be workable a
law must he applied impartially, hence
1t has insisted. in the case of the New
York banks, that the small banks of
Long Island should have equal rights OF
membership with the great banks Of
New York city.
With this principle carried into effect
and customers will have equal protection
with those of the great banking institu-
tons 1t is hoped by the Treasury De-
partment that other cities will follow the
lead of New York and organize like cen
trail associations. Boston bankers have
canvassed the question and given recent
assurance that they will follow suit.
Business is fairly good and the financial
mind of the country at ease. hence no
more favorable time for organizing could
be found. The suggestion of Secretary
MacVeagh that the National Banks form
the Currency Associations now should
not be construed to indicate that dis
turbing conditions are in sight On the
contrary, important opinion here is that
business prospects are good and that the
New York stock market already has
measured about the degree of business
recession which may be expected for
some time.
ssIt is understood that the organization

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician out in Oregon has views
about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cessa
with treating the sick, but that we owe
it to humanity to teach them how to
protect their health especially by nv
gienic and dietetic laws.
With such feeling as to my duty l
take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation | have
found no food to equal Grape Nuts
and that l find there is almost no limit
to the great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases of sickness and
convalescence
1T is my experience that no physical
condition fOrbids the use of Crane
Nuts. TO persons in health there IL
nothing so nourishing and accountable
to the stomach especially at breakfast
to start the machinery of the human
system. on the days work. In cases of
indigestion l know that a complete
breakfast can be made Of Crane Nuts
and cream and / think it is necessary
not to overload the stomach at the
morning meal. l also know the great
value Of Grape Nuts when the stom-
ach is too weak to digest other food

costly divisions to such an extent
that the saving to the State in con-
sequence Of the latter competition,
conservativeiy estimated, must reach
the round numbers of from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year.
Especially gratifying from the
standpoint of the State is the fact
that Legislative printing seems at last
to have entered the competitive class,
and the latest competition brought the
the prices considerably below those
Of 1909.
Constructive Printing.
BY the comparison on preceding
page we show that in the ballot
printing of 1908, there was a saving
Of $6,250.S2, equal to over 70 per cent.
when compared with 1905 statute
prices. In arriving at this result we
have not applied the principle of
constructive printing in detail, but
rather applied the higher prices sof
1905 on composition and press work
to the bill as our experience with the
matter indicates the printer would
have rendered.
constructive printing" as contem-
plated by the statutes, according to
the findings Of the Legislative COM
mittee on State printing in 1905, (see
Senate Document 245) would have
permitted a charge of 1858 ~ for
this work, which cost under COM
petitive contracts S7863.37.
While we use this instance to Illus
trate one of the possible vagaries Of
the former system of statute governed
prices il NAV further serve to show
that the former State printers, by in
Producing the human element. were
able to find a middle ground of action
that savOred of equity more than did
the law.

NO TAXES
Will Be Collected in Minnesota Nst
Year, State Is So Rich.

Minneapolis, July 29-Minnesota
presents the unusual spectacle. of
state with its treasury filled to over
flowing. If the recommendations Of
Governor Eberhart are followed all
taxes will be abrogated for the year
1911, as there will be plenty of money
coming in through ordinary collec-
tions, together with the surplus Of al
most 100000, to keep the state ma
chinery moving.
The unusual amount of money on
hand and which will continue to pour
in is due largely to the settlement OF
cases in a manner highly profitable to
the state. The largest of these are
lumber cases, the gross earnings tax.
the Kennedy Inheritance tax cases
and others.
With the money constantly piiing
up the state officials have been hold
ing secret conferences for month TO
devise some way to dispose OF the
fund. and the proposition to abrosate
the taxes, thus distributing the sur
plus among the taxpayers, seems u
find most favor.

In the foregoing tabulated statement
1t will be observed that there is a
marked increase in the general print
ing (for departments, etc) in 1903,
over previous years. The 1908 record
Is the lowest of the four complete
years. Comparing 1906 and 1907, the
first two year period under the COM
petitive system, there is an increase
of cost the second or legislative year
over the first year of $3.s6S.5s. TAX
ing the second period Of two years,
1908 and 1909, there is an increase of
cost in the legislative year over the
preceding year Of s8.095.73. Our first
contract ruled the prices of 19O6-1907,
while the second contract, with dis
tfnct1y lower rates, governed the prices
of l9O8-19O The figures, therefore,
indicate considerable increase in the
amount of printing, due to the demand
arising from increased departmental
work as required by the enactments OF
the Legislature Of 1909.
Remarks on Legislative Printing.
The legislative printing of 1909 cost
$11,248.88 more than that of 1907. This
is accounted for in part by the larger
number of bills introduced at that
session, and the larger number and
volume of laws enacted, and in part
by the increase in prices on the legis-
iative printing in 1909 over those OF
1907 Confirming statements in for
mer reports of this department, events
have proven that conditions under
which this class of the printing is ne
cessarily done almost preclude COM
petitive prices
The Legislative printing of 1909 was
opened to bids under three distinct
and widely advertised competitions
extending from October 25, 1907, to
Feb IA, 1908. In the first of these

net saving for the years 1906 and 1907
to be $e0,5O3.27. Thus we have

SobtTaStS IOT WV. ISIIs
Present contracts for printing and
binding entered into in 1909 extend
from Jan. l. 1910 to June 80, 1911. The
year and one-half period was adopt
ed to bring the fiscal year to close at
a comparatively slack time when
work in hand could most promptly be
cleared up, rather than at the busiest
season. The plan is now under con-
sideration to make our next report
cover the year and one-half period
corresponding with the contracts.
The printing contracts are now held
by the following firms: Class A,
book printing, Burleigh & Flynt, Au-
gusta; Glass B, job printing, Wallace
S. Laid. Augusta; Glass C, Legisla-
tive printing, Burleigh & Flynt. Au-
gusta; Glass D, ballot printing, Bur-
leigh & Flynt, Augusta; Glass E,
half-tone inserts, Lewiston Journal
Company, Lewiston.
The binding contracts are held by
the following firms: Class A, book
and pamphlet work, Harry w. Reid.
Augusta; Glass B, ruling blanks. Mer-
rill & Weber Company, Auburn;
Glass c, Legislative work, Harry w.
Reid, Augusta; Glass D, blank books.
Merrill & Weber Company, Auburn;
Glass E, miscellaneous binding and re-
pair work. Harry w. Reid, Augusta.
These awards were made after the
sharpest competition among bidders
known in the history of these COM
