State Banking Law.
We demand the most careful revis-
ion of the state banking law by the
legislature. to the end that, without
impairing the true and useful func-
lions of we'll conducted banks, by
u~nnecessary and hampering restric-
tons, there shall be the most careful
provisions to preserve their solvency
and safeguard and insure the inter-
ests of depositors. We declare that
the protracted and expensive proceed
ure of receiverships of insolvent
banks under the present system Is a
state scandal and an outrage upon
the rights of depositors, and demand
that the law be so amended that the
state banking board shall have au-
thority to appoint and control the re-
ceiyer and fix his compensation,
which shall not be less than a reason
able compensation for the time nee
essarily employed and If in excess of
one thousand dollars shall not exceed
five per cen of the total sum actually
returned to depositors and creditors;
and providing further, that the attor-
ney general shall, in all cases where
practicable. perform the duties of at
torney for such receiver without ex-
ira compensation other than his nee
essary expense while so engaged; and
that the procedure for ~liquidating the
affairs of insolvent and temporarily
impaired banks and trust companies
shall be as nearly as practicable in
accordance with the model law now
in force in the state of New York.
Income Tax Amendment.
We demand the ratification by the
legislature. of the amendment pro-
posed by congress TO the constitution
of the United States. authorizing an
income tax.

Mining Locations.
Experience has demonstrated chat
development of our mineral re-
sources has been greatly retarded by
the system enabling a few presons to
an unlimited number of min
ing claims in each mining district.
We therefore urge the passage of
laws curative of this evil and provid-
ing particularly for restrictions upon
the number of claims an individual,
group of individuals or a corporation
may locate.
