LIFTS STANDARD OIL BAN
Missouri Supreme Court Sus-
pends Custer Order.

Jefferson City. Mo. June 2S-The MIS-
souri, Supreme Court to-day handed down
a decision allowing the Standard OH COM
pany of Indiana, which had been ousted
from the state, TO continue business IN
Missouri.
The decision does not revoke the oTder
of custer issued some time ago as re-
suit Of proceedings Instituted by the state
under the antitrust law. but merely sus-
pends the order for so long time as the
company complies with the laws OF the
state The decision provides that the
Supreme Court shall retain jurisdiction oil
the case: that the Attorney General, II
the company violates the antitrust law
may move to vacate the suspension OF
the custer and that, independent of the
Attorney General, the court may order
evidence TO be taken to ascertain whether
the company is complying with the laws.
The court also overruled the demurrer
filed by the fire insurance companies
which had announced their intention TO
cease writing business in this state. ana
Issued a temporary order restraining the
companies from cancelling policies This
IS a victory for the Attorney General.
The decision allows the companies to file
an answer to the quo warranto proceed
ings OF the Attorney General, who asked
that they be lined for combining to with
draw from the state. After the answer
is filed the court will appoint commits
sioner 10 take testimony.
Judge Woodson. who wrote the opinion,
made clear therein that the Attorney Cen
eral had not sought TO prevent the fire
insurance companies individually from
leaving the state, but that he sought to
prevent them leaving in body by agree
ment.
on this point the court held that the
companies had no legal right by agree
ment to withdraw from the state in a
body in pursuance to said unlawful agree
ment or to cancel their policies on prop
erty in this state in pursuance to said
agreement"

said:
"On the assumption that the average

has been claimed that the country banks
could create a reserve by rediscount say,
per cent. which would release that
amount Of money 20 be loaned at per
cent. This, in theory prevents any loss
But were this proposition 10 be carried
out it would result in practice In a tre-
mendous initiation OF credit and in largely
using up the elasticity in the proposed
system. The basis OF reserve. ! suggest,
would be / 2 per cent Of which per cent
TO be in vault. 3 per cent in central re-
serve bank and per cent In reserve

TO be thankful for what they have already

points right at the start when YOU com,

no reason to feel discouraged about this.
