Bank Amendment No, Authentic.

The attorney general gave two rulings
to State Bank Superintendent +. E.
Baxter. In one of these he holds that
the part of Constitutional Amendment
No. 81 which relates to inspection of
private financial institutions that use
the word bank" or bankers" Is not
effective until suitable legislation has
been provided. The superintendent's
own notion that the amendment is not
automatic is verified.
In another request Baxter asked
whether the same amendment provid-
ing double liability of stockholders Of
corporations authorized to receive
money on deposit means that stock
holders having half of their capital
stock paid in will be liable for the un-
paid portion of their subscription and
then double that, or whether in banks
where only one-half of the capital
stock is paid in 1t will mean that the
stockholders will only be called upon
to pay the full amount of their sub
scriptions."
| A construction of the language used
in the amendment convinces Mr.. Ho-
| gan that the stockholders are liable
for unpaid as we'll as paid stock owned
by them and double the amount of the
stock subscribed. Any other construc-
tion would defeat the amendments
own purpose. He says: For instance,
if person subscribes for one share
of stock and pays in fifty per cent. of
the value of the same he would be
liable for the fifty per cent. remaining
unpaid on his subscription and for
one hundred per cent. in addition"

Railroads Lack Tracks.

rtdlIFOdoS Lack rdCtsS.
Grain men, in meeting at the Neil
House, were told by Chairman o. P.
Gothlin, of the Ohio public service
commission, that the present lack of
sufficient transportation facilities Is
not so much the result of short car
supply as it is the inadequacy of rail-
road tracking. Mr.. Gothlin pointed
out that under average conditions the
equipment of most of the railroads
would show a surplus of from 10 to
80 per cent. The meeting was the
regular fall business conference Of
members of the Ohio Grain Dealers
association. At the morning meeting
reports were received from every sec
ton of the state, showing an enormous
crop and cord quantity of grain to
be moved. 1t was the consensus of
opinion among the grain men that the
problem of transporting their large
supplies is the worst that has been
experienced in years. They called in
Mr.. Gothlin in the hope that he might
show them the way out OF their diff
culties.

Dee. 6. 1a11-Trlal Of the ten paek.

Dec. 6, 1911-Trial Of the ten pack
ers begun before Judge Carpenter.
The trial was one Of the longest
criminal trials in the history Of the
federal courts. It began Dec. 6, 1911,
and the jury was sworn in Dec. 10.
The first witness was called by the
government December &c. The gov
ernment put forty-nine witnesses on
the stand and introduced 1888 docu-
ments in evidence. The record OF
the case contains 100000 words.
1t is estimated that the trial cost
the packers 100000, and the gov
eminent about 100000.
The first witness called by the gov
ernment was Albert H. veeder, the
dean of counsel for the packers and
personal legal advisor OF the late
Gustavus F. Swift, founder Of Swift
and Company. He gave a graphic
description Of the old packers pool
which met every Tuesday afternoon
prior to 1902 and gave the details
of the method by which the fresh
meat business of the country was
controlled. He declared that no at
tempt was made to fix prices and di-
vide territory after the old packers
pool was dissolved in 1902. He also
told of the attempt of Armour, Swift
and Morris interests to combine the
packing industry into a billion dollar
corporation and how the plan was
dropped because of the inability of its
promoters to finance it.
Nearly every witness called by the
government in the trial was either an
employee or former employee OF
