Decision Blow to state Banks.

Attorney General Kuhn handed
down an opinion In which he
holds that Michigan state banks can
not pledge their assets as securities
for postal savings bank deposits.
The opinion meafs a blow to the
state banks of the state and will
give to the national banks a decided
preference over state banks in the
matter OF securing the deposits of
postal savings banks.
The question has been under dis
crssion for several months and re-
Gently Banking Commissioner Doyle
asked the attorney general If Mich
igan state banks would be allowed
to pledge municipal bonds as Sc
deposits. In his opinion the at
torney general refers to the fact
that the federal act governing the
securing Of postal savings bank
deposits calls for security in pub
lie bonds. The section of Michigan
banking law governing this point
says that no bank or bank officers
shall give preference to any de-
positor or creditor by pledging the
assets of the bank as collateral Sc
curity.
Kuhn holds that If state bank
pledged its municipal bonds to Sc
cure postal savings deposits that it
would result in the bank pledging
it's securities, which are portion
of its assets, as collateral security
for the deposit of postal savings
| funds, and in the event of failure
of state bank under these con-
ditions it would give postal savings
| bank depositors a preference over
the general deposits of the bank.
Commissioner Doyle when asked
concerning the opinion said: "The
opinion of the attorney general
clearly defines the law and his
opinion will be followed. l trust
! however, that the government will
see their way clear to accept surety
or personal bonds in lieu of munich
pal bonds as now required"
When asked what action he
would take in cases where state
banks have already pledged their
securities, he said:
"As | see it, the recall is quite
popular these days and it looks tc
me like sure recall of the pledged
municipal securities, unless the
Michigan state bankers take actor
and bring about desired results
which will conform to the state
law"

Injunction to Save Huron Fish.

Deputy Game Warden Daniel laid
a complaint with the prosecuting at
torney against the reduction plant
for discharging liquid material
into the Huron river and destroying
the fish. The complaint was supported
by a report from DR.. M. l.. Holm,
state bacteriologist, in which he
says:
"The wastes from the reduction
plant appear to consist of the water
in which the garbage has been boilee,
and contain a very large amount OF
organic matter in solution and sus-
pension. The suspended matter is fine
and it Is not believed that it is likely
to kill fish by mechanically obstruct-
ing the gills. At any rate, we would
regard that as factor of minor i'm
portance.
Our findings show that the water in
the Huron river before it reaches the
reduction plant is very highly pol
luted, but possesses fair degree OF
stability. Nevertheless, 1t Is in a poor
condition for receiving very much ad-
ditional organic material.
1--WE therefore feel justified in con-
cluding that fish would die In this wa
ter from lack Of free oxygen and pois'
oning by hydrogen sulphide."
Assistant Prosecutor Aldrich will ap-
ply for an injunction.

figures on Iron Mines Attacked.

About the only enlivening feature
of the hearing before the state board
of equalization was the argument
made by Attorney Frank A. Bell of
Ishpeming, who represents the Michi-
gan mines owned by the United States
Steel corporation. He declared that
in estimating the value of the iron
mines Professor Finlay has assumed
various factors which were not ap-
piled to the valuation Of other prop
erty throughout the state. He took
direct issue with the Finlay method Of
valuing the ore, and said that the val
uation placed on the mines was too
high by at least fifty per cent.
I'm his report Professor Finlay
states," said Mr.. Bell, that one fac
tor used in estimating the value of
ore yet in the ground was the quality
and quantity of ore mined In the past,
at a price secured by striking the
average received for ore in the last
five years. 1t happens that from 1906
to 1910 were the five most prosperous
years in the iron ore industry. Had
the year 1911 been included the aver
age would have been considerably
reduced, as iron ore has fallen off SO
to 60 cents per ton. We do not quar-
rel with Professor Finlay's estimate
of the quantity Of ore yet to be mined
but no man can estimate the future
quality of the ore any more than he
can fix price for ore a year in adj
vance. We have had lean years when
ore dropped 1926 a ton"

Reveals Weakness Of State Tax Plan.

Reveals Weakness Of State Tax Plan.
There is a growing Keeling among
the delegates and the officials of the
board as well, as the present equali-
zation session proceeds, that Michi-
gan is distributing it's state budget Of
expense among the counties for the
last time. With each county heard
the farcical character of the present
system of equalization becomes more
apparent.
1t is safe to say that the eQualiza-
tion meeting has made great many
new supporters for Governor Os-
borns plan for the separation of state
and local taxation and the substitu-
tion of corporation tax to pay the
state expense.
1t is becoming more and more the
opinion that the equaliZers will stick
pretty close to the tax commission
estimates in apportioning the tax af.
ter the hearings are concluded. In
the face of conditions there seems to
be little else they can do unless they
make fat reduction over the whole
state. The tax commission offers the
only pretense of a detailed eXamina
tion of property values outside of the
counties themselves, and in every
case the delegates sent to the state
meeting depreclate the tax commission
report as grossly excessive so far as
each his own bailiwick is concerned
Allowing for the tendency of the
counties to belittle the report of the
commission as affecting themselves
the hearing is developing many weak
spots In the tax commission system
of checking up the local assessors
valuations.

Lansing.-"Dairies and milk depots
in the southwestern section OF the
state are in a most satisfactory sani-
tary condition." said George M. Whip
pie, dairy and food inspector, on re-
turning to the city from having COM
pleted an annual inspection OF milk
conditions in the seven principal cities
of this locality.
The inspection was ordered by
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
G. NJ. Dame, and for the past few
weeks the efforts Of corps OF ~
inspectors and clerks have been con-
centrated on that particular line of
work. From the Detroit Office inspec-
tions were made in Ypsilanti, Ann Ar
Dor, Port Huron, Adrian, Mt. Clemens,
Monroe and Flint. So quietly was the
work carried on that the public was
not aware an inspection was being
made. About 140 dairy farms were
visited by the Detroit officers.
Very good sanitary conditions pre-
vail in the great majority Of cattle
barns, milking sheds and creameries
that we have inspected" continued
Mr.. Whipple. There were only about
four places in the 140 that we visited
where sanitary methods were not be
ing employed. In these four cases we
notified the owners tney would have
to withdraw their products from the
market or take more precautions fol
sanitation.
"Unsanitary stables and careless
methods in handling milk are the
principal causes of impure milk now
but the filthy old frame COW barn i!
nearly obsolete"
While making the trip through the
state the inspectors also investigated
a number of ice cream factories
These were found to be in exception
ally good shape. The state requires
IL per cent. butter fat in this line o
goods, but some samples showed al
high as 1S and 20 per cent. Any vic
lations of the law seem to have beer
made through ignorance. A few for
eigners, who had not investigated th
law, we're putting out an inferio
grade of cream In small quantities
1t tested as low as five and seven pc
cent. One or two complaints wer
made against such manufacturers.
