Madison.-Not a dollar of loss to
any depositor in any state bank, mu-
tual saving bank or trust company
under the supervision of the Wiscon-
sin banking department is the crafty
ing statement of Commissioner of
Banking NJ. C. Bergh in his report
made to Gov. Davidson.
The commissioners report shows
that during the year, ending Nov. 10,
1910, there were organized thirty
eight new state banks, with a total
capital of 1868 500, while one bank,
with $4,000 capital, liquidated,
making total net gain of thirty
seven banks, bringing a net increase
of capitalization of $653,50C, which,
with the increased capitalization of
seventeen old banks, brings the total
increase of capitalization for the year
to 81, 138,500.
Commissioner Bergh reports the
Institutions under the control of the
department, with few exceptions,
have had very prosperous year; that
the trust company law of 1909 is in
certain respects defective, and should
be modified; and that the department
itself is in need of additional assist
ance if the highest results are to be
obtained. 1t appears from the tabu-
lations submitted with the report that
the deposits in the state and mutual
savings banks increased $19,523,-
697.S3 during the year, and that
there was an aggregate gain of
$21,9IS.064. in total resnnrces

SAYS LAW IS INADEQUATE
State Railway Commission in Report
Asks for More Power Over Stock
and Bond Issue.

Madison.--The annual report of
the state railway commission for the
year ending June 3 has been filed
with Gov. Davidson.
Among the recommendation are:
That the law in regard to the issue
of stocks and bonds be amended so
as to give the commission more power
over railroad and public service cor
porations
That it should be empowered to
ascertain if the issues of bonds and
stocks are within the statute, and
whether or not the amounts are
reasonable for the purposes for which
they are to be issued.
That the present law in regard to
grade crossings be more specific; that
the state make an appropriation to
pay its share of the cost of mainten-
ance of crossings, or that the act be
amended to exempt the state from
paying It's share of the cost.
In reference to the elevation of
tracks in Milwaukee the commission
reported that negotiations were going
on and that it was to be hoped the
problem would be soon solved.
According to the report there are
forty-seven railways doing business in
the state, operating 1852 miles of
road, an increase of SO per cent dur
ing the year. The total earnings
We're 5,170,471, an increase of
IL CLIO per cent. The operating ex-
penses were $42,142,597, an increase
of IA 7-10 per cent. The revenue
from other sources was $22, 622,8S1.
There are over COS miles of cleo
trio lines in the state, an increase of
p per cent. The revenue amounted
to $6,788,101, an increase of liz
per cent, and the operating expenses
were $4,67S,363, an increase of 10
per cent.
The express companies do not sepa-
rate their earnings in the state, but
the revenue of the Wells-Fargo COM
pany amounted to $903,795.
There were S51 public utilities in
the state, consisting of 1919 electric
light plants, 80 gas plants, 119 water
works and SOC telephone plants. All
of these show increases in income as
follows: Electric light, 20 per cent;
gas, 10 per cent; water, 10 per cent;
telephones, 8 per cent.
During the year 432 complaints
were made to the commission against
railways and 144 against public

California is one of the western
states which shows rapid growth. The
census figures just announced give
California a population of 2,377,549, a
gain of SOL per cent over 1900. This
is the largest increase made by any
state from which the final census
returns have yet been received, and
shows that the glorious climate of
California and other allurements are
attracting settlers quite as numerous
ly as did the gold fever of 40 and
later.

CITY TAKES OVER LIGHTING
kaukauna Plant Lost Franchise on
Allegation That II Did Not Give
Satisfactory Service.

Kaukauna.-At a special election
recently, the question of municipal
ownership of the electric lighting sys-
tenn was decided for the city by a
majority of 500, with total vote OF
552.
The question came up for the rea-
son that the Kaukauna Gas, Power
and Electric Light company, it was
alleged, had not given satisfaction
and had forfeited its franchise, so the
state rate commission decided that
the question should be decided by
vote.
After the company had lost its
franchise on the forfeit, it began
making propositions to improve its
plant.
