Tendency Discerned in Recent De-
cisiOns of Supreme Court.
Springfield (Mass) Republican.
The unanimity Of the supreme court In
sustaining the corporation tax law seems
to reflect an increasing disposition not to
Interfere with the acts OF the lawmaking
power unless very strong reasons exist for
doing so. 1t may be said that this has al
ways been the attitude OK the court, but
we need only point to the overthrow Of
the income tax law OF 1894 and the prece-
dents Of 100 years to disprove the saying
There has been a good deal OF court
notification Of statutes in recent years
particularly on the part OF the lower fed
oral tribunals, and II was arousing no.
ticeabIy large body Of resentful public sem
timent. The disposition Of the reorganized
supreme court TO apply the brakes to that
tendency among lower court judges may
possibly be reflected in the recent unan-
lmous judgment sustaining the validity OF
the bank deposit guaranty laws OF certain
western states, which had been overthrown
by lower federal court.

Judicial Reform.

The Bee in another place on this
page prints the sections of the new
judiciary act passed by congress and
approved by President Taft just be-
fore adjournment, relating to the is
sue of injunctions by the federal
courts. Although this act has so far
attracted little attention and ELECTED
no public discussion, it is by all means
the most important and far-reaching
legislation put upon the statute books
at the short session Of congress. BY
this act republican president and
congress have completely redeemed
the promise to do away with the
abuses Of government by injunction so
widely complained of.
While the arbitrary use of the in
junction power had perhaps been the
exception rather than the rule, some
most fragrant instances had resulted
from the unrestricted authority of a
single federal judge TO issue such
writs in star chamber without a hear
ing Of the parties affected. In this
way laws passed by the states in re-
Spouse to unquestioned popular de-
mand had been nulliAed on the eve Of
their going into effect by court orders
restraining state officials from execu-
! ting them. This was the procedure
here in Nebraska when the railroads,
through the federal courts, enioined
the maximum freight rate law and
later enjoined the collection Of taxes
on their property, and again when the
banks held up the operation of the de-
post guaranty law.
The new judiciary act will make
such performances difficult. IL not inn
possible, in the future. First, writs
of injunction or restraining orders
hereafter may be issued only by the
district judge of the district, and not
by an outsider called IN for the pur-
pose. Second, no injunction suspend
ing the enforcement OF a state law is
to be issued except by three judges,
one of whom must be a justice of the
supreme court or Of the circuit court
and only after Ave days notice to the
governor and attorney general of the
state affected, except when irreparable
loss is threatened, when a hearing
must be had within Ave days.
The state platform adopted by Ne
braska republicans in 1907 contained
a plank favoring the enactment of 9
law to forbid the federal courts from
issuing writs OF injunction against
state officers charged by law to enforce
state statutes. This new judiciary
act, although it does not absolutely
forbid such injunctions, throws such
safeguards around them as to be g
substantial compliance with this de-
mand.

Inadeouate Bank examinations.

The indictment of the head of the
Carnegie Trust company on the charge
of larceny in the sum of $835,OOO,
following the collapse of the Robin
chain OF banks. suggests inherent
weakness in the system of bank ex-
aminations in New York and should
serve to direct attention of other
states to their method Of bank in
spection. AS the Wall Street Journal
observes, even sending to prison men
guilty of reckless fnanciering seems
to have been no deterrent on theis
successors in some cases.
Surely, it must be the system, as
we'll as the individual, with which the
state should concern itself. No state
or federal government has a right to
leave undone anything 1t can do to-
ward protecting men under such cir
cumstances from themselves and from
every outside influence that might be
exerted over them. As proving that
the system in vogue in New York is
prObaly to blame, the Journal cites
the fact that II the Carnegie Trust
company fails to pay it's depositors in
full from It's assets, 1T will be the
first case in the history Of trust com
pany administration In New York
In Chicago and some other places
in the west many banks are inspected
under the supervision of the clearing
house and the plan has proved a good
one. The Wall Street Journal com.
mends IL to New York bankers, OF
rather to the state for adoption. Here
is another business situation where II
will not do to guard too closely the
secret OF assets and the character OF
transaction. Such jealousy and tim
idity, as the Journal contends, mus
give way to the demands OF publ,
safety and the banking reputation o.
the city and state.
