~ Possibly because TINS new ruling,
adopted by the banking board was
suggested and fathered by Governor
4. B. Hanna himself banker some
people will expect the Broadaxe to OPP
pose the action and on purely politi-
cal grounds, because the governor is
a stalwart and the Broadaxe is in
surgent. Nothing could be further
from the truth. The Broadaxe ap-
proves the resolution most thorough
ly. It believes it to be the best thing
that could have happened-from3 a
political standpoint. The Broadaxe
holds no brief for the bankers. If
they have been circumvented it is
their funeral, and if they want to
handle it in political way, the Broad
axe is Indifferent.
The political viewpoint dismissed,
let us look into the matter in a dis
passionate light, as a cold business
proposition. If the reader is interest
led enough to read the resolution, he
will notice the various "Whereases"
that form the preamble of the resolu.
ton, and find in them the ostensible
reasons for the resolution. The gist
of these reasons is that it is necessary
to keep down the number Of banks
in order to protect the depositors'
money in the state banks. The argu-
ment is that the more banks a town
has, the weaker the banks are and the
more likely they are to be insecure
because the business is cut up-and
not only that, but that the men who
are hereafter permitted to start banks
in the state must be OF good financial
standing and Of good character. It is
|propounded as an axiom that banks
and bankers must have the confidence
Of the communities in order to get
trusted with the peoples money. and
that to get this confidence the banks
must be strong and must be in the
hands OF men. Of good reputation and
reliable financial standing. @-7'- '... .''e,~.'
Before we discuss this matter any
further, let it be stated that there is
not a shadow Of authority In the, Law
Of the state for such action as the
banking board has taken. It is hoped.
however, that the example Of the ma.
tional hank OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

take the case into the counts, it is en-
tirely possible that he may find the
decisions the courts in other states
used with effect against him. And in
the meanwhile the man who has a
little money to invest and who is not
looking for trouble will steer clear OF
the banking game. The sign is up:
Keep OF the Grass, You Dogs" in
more places than you think of.
But to return to the question Of
protection to depositors and the need
for one strong bank rather than two
weak ones in order to secure the con

School are making plans to raise 500 for
the erection of an addition to the present

COMMISSIONERS DECLINE
TO TALK OF RUMORED CUTS


ENum states that it would be impossible
Tor him TO give out any information on
the budget at this time
As ii was generally considered that the
commissioners "cut everything down to
the last ditch" when they adopted the
'si2 budget, the statement of Mr.. Wealth
erly's cannot be taken for very much
either way; for it is generally believed
that the commissioners will not endcagor
to make any further serious retrench-
ments in any department, in spite of the
fact that the city treasury is carrying
large deficit which appears not 70 be in
clined to grow smaller.
Mr.. Weatherly stated yesterday that
they had hoped to have the budget com-
pleted and ready for discussion tomorrow
and probably take official action on its
adoption at the regular meeting Tuesday
but that there We're some doubts now
as to whether the comptroller's office and
the other departments working on the
compilation of the budget data could be
ready by that time. The commissioners
hope to settle the budget, however, some
time this Week. Reports OF all the city
department for the fiscal year ending Oc-
tober have been made to the commission
and it will be upon these reports that
the budget will be based.

NOT BELIEVED THAT ANY
GREAT RETRENCHMENT WILL
BE MADE IN ANY DEP ART
MENT OF CITY

The usual rumors and reports of re-
in different departments of
the city government on account
of the beginning of the new fiscal
year, October !, are in eircula-
ton. but so far the city officials VIII
make no direct statements in regard to
the subject 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the annual budget to be adopted
by the city commissioners this week VIII
be little changed If any from the lslT
budget adopted October l. 1912.
City Commissioner James Weatherly
stated yesterday afternoon that while he
could not confirm or deny that there

partments, one reason for which was that

Girlish, Wrinkle Free
Skin Easy to Have
{ From Pilgrim MagaSine.)


since its remarkable astringent and
tonic properties became known.s,lever
women all over the world have been
using the saxolite face bath to tone
mn their faces, remove wrinkles and
draw flabby checks and neck back to
normal. After using the solution, the
face Immediately feels much firmer
The skin tightens evenly all over the
face, thus reducing lines and sagginess
The formula is Powdered saxolite,
or. dissolved in witch hazel, 1a pint
Another wonderful facial beautifier
and rejuvenator that has become quite
a rage in the United States, as in
Europe, is mercolzed wax. Druggists
report a great demand. The wax lit
orally absorbs a sallow. blotchy or
sgithered complexion, giving the fresh.
vigorous, healthy-hued young skin
underneath a chance to ''breathe'' and
to show itself. Applying the wax at
night, like cold cream, washing it off
mornings. will completely renovate a
poor complexion in week or ten days
One ounce usually is sufficient.

NEGRO CLAIMED
WAGES WERE SHORT

According to the accounts OF tha
employees of Mr.. Camp, the shooting
was over the paltry sum of 80 cents.
Carpenter had been in the employ of
Mr.. Camp for two weeks and last night
came to collect his wages. The money
handed to him by Mr.. Camp was un-
satisfactory to the negro, as he claimed
shortage of 80 cents. Mr. Camp is
said to have replied in a calm man
ner that his clerks had made the ne
gros time correctly and that the ne
gro was getting all that was coming
to him. At this the negro grew i'm
pudent and Mr.. Camp is said to have
slapped his face, whereupon CARPENTER
left the premises. This happened about
$50 o'clock.
At o'clock Miller Carpenter re-
turned and entered the warehouse of
Mr.. Camp He called out to Mr.. Camp
who was sitting at his desk beside Mrs
Strickland and Mr.. Lamb:
Cap, y'u all s'wine to pay me9"
Mr.. Camp looked up from his desk
and seeing Carpenter back again rose
and, approaching the negro, said:
mo, and YOU get out of here.
