fUuANuL NEEDEU
IN BANKING LAWS
Auditor Smith Says Present State
Banking Laws Are
Farce.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 22.-The bank
ing laws of Mississippi are a farce,
and might as well not be on the
statute books, according to State Au-
ditor e. ]. Smith, who is also ex-of-
fioio banking commissioner of the
commonwealth.
Statutes without the means of en-
forcing them, and statements from
banks without any method of verifi-
cation, provided, is the opinion of
Mr.. Smith of the present law,
and he is so thoroughly dis
gusted with the failure of former leg
islatures to frame adequate laws on
the subject that he does not intend to
mention the matter in his forthcoming
biennial report to the legislature.
1T is useless to make recommends
tons when they are persistently ig-
nored by the Legislature, and no in
telligent effort is made to study the
subject" says Mr.. Smith. Express
ing it very mildly, my present duties
as ex-officio banking commissioner
could just as easily be performed by
one of the state house messengers.
am required to call for financial state
ments from the banks four times per
year, and left without any means of
ascertaining whether these state
ments, when filed, are correct. About
all | can do is to see that resources
and liabilities are balanced
Auditor Smith is of the opinion that
the next legislature should provide a
thorough system of state bank inspec-
ton, but he entertains very little hope
that he lawmakers will take action
on the subject.

SEEK RECALL OF JUDGES.

Phoenix. Ariz., Sept. 22.-Recall of
judges is still a live issue in Arizona
and may yet be provided for in the
constitution of the new state despite
the opposition of President Taft. The
central committee of the Republicans
in Maricopa county has issued a call
for conference today of all aspir
ants for office, and it is understood
that all the candidates will be pledged
to vote for the submission of a recall
amendment at special election to be
held Immediately after the territory
is admitted to statehood. Similar
pledges will probably be required of
candidates of both parties elsewhere
in Arizona.

There are thirty-five states in the
Union with official bureau created to
gather labor statistics. President
Gompers states that in every in
stance they have been created at the
demand of labor. Such bureaus have
served as the clearing houses for in
dustrial information and have been
the centralized influence used for ad-
vancing protective factory laws.
Where state bureau has been estab-
lished for several years, there will be
found the largest number of protec-
tive and conserving laws where such
a bureau has only been recently es-
tablished, such laws are proportion
ately fewer in number.
Twenty-four states of the union
have strict laws regarding the venti-
lation and working space of factories,
thirty-three require fire escapes on
factories and public buildings; TWEEN
ty-four demand that there shall be
guards on dangerous machinery;
twenty-seven states insist upon sani-
tary and sufficient toilet rooms for the
sexes; thirty states provide factory
inspectors to enforce observance of
the law.

Consistency.


1t shall follow as naturally as the
day the night that whosoever is good,
is right, is true, shall grow and devel-
op with care, cultivation or constancy.
AS the child's mind is filled with
whatever is before it most, IL should
be seen to that only the good is there,
and this pure infant mind should re-
ceive only the most patient care to de-
velop into the best.
The flower should be tended and
cultivated if you would have it bear
the fulness of natures law.
The wife should receive that same
courteous, kind and thoughtful con-
sideration that first won her if you
would still retain that pure love she
first gave you. And the husband
should always be aboe TO perceive in
the wife that first something thai
drew him towards her. And so il goes
that all things live and flourish and
have their being in the enevitable law
OF "Constancy." That is, tend the
things you wish if you would have
them with 20 railways.
