NATIONAL DIVORCE
LAW NEEDED

The following letter is one among
ed last October by the Pictorial Re
view. These letters form a convinc-
ing argument for national divorce
law, and We print with a great deal
of pleasure one of the prize winners:

the news of it in a morning news

In the matter of news, most es-

last word that the public wants but
the first, and it generally finds that

There is perhaps no branch of in
dustry that has received more atten-
ton or developed more rapidly in Min
neapolis in the last few years than
the automobile business. The value
of the automobiles in service in the
city now runs into millions of dollars.
approximately one-fourth of the total
number of cars owned in the state are
to be found in Minneapolis. All the
large manufacturing firms have sales
offices here and many of them use
their Minneapolis Offices as distribut-
ing centres for the surrounding terri
tory.
In 1912 there were listed for taxa
ton in Minnesota 21,218 automobiles.
Every county in the state, with the
exception of Cook, reported cars.
That year there were in Minneapolis
5,023 cars assessed at $2,296,470.
This represents an increase of 1877
in the number of cars reported the
previous year and $574,SO5 in the
value.
Minneapolis is an ideal city for au-

AUTOMOBILES

tomobiles during the summer months
The many miles of boulevards which
are well kept and along which is to
be seen some of the finest scenery in
the country offer an irresistible in
ducement to those who can afford the
luxury to become owners of cars that
they might take advantage of the op-
portunities to breathe fresh air and
see beautiful country. Combined with
the boulevards is the attraction of the
lakes many of which are within easy
reach of the city.
Although the number of automo-
biles driven in Minneapolis is large,
the number of serious automobile &C
cidents is comparatively small. The
Automobile club is one of the factors
to which credit is due for this condi-
ton of affairs. The club has always
urged on its members observance of
the laws governing traffic. Not more
than six miles an hour on curve and
not more than ten miles an hour in
the closely built up districts of the
city has been the rule.

HAVE EXTRA CENT
 READY AFTER DEC. 1
 FOR LONG DISTANCE

The local exchange manager of the Southern New England Telephone company announced today that, be- ginning on Tuesday, Dec 1, the com pany's operators would be compelled to collect the federal war tax from all persons passing telephone calls or sending te1egra1ns from public pay stations where the charge exceeded fifteen cents. This is in accordance with sthe law called the emergency revenue law passed by Congress and signed by the President of the United States on October 22. 1914.
 It was explained toa representative of this paper that the law requires that the company collect a tax of one cent, in addition to the regular charge for the message. where that charge amounts to fifteen cents or over. The company then reports, monthly. to the collector of internal revenue in each district and pays over the penny per call tax that has been collected
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-11-27

in this manner.
 The telephone company, expecting fair treatment from it's patrons in this matter, will instruct it's operators to advise public Telephone users, when the charge for the message Or tele- gram is fifteen cents or over, what the rate is, adding the request that the calling party have already the additional one cent for the federal tax When the connection has been established the customer will. be re- Quested to drop in the regular charge for the message and then the penny for the tax. The operator will advise that this be dropped in the twenty five cent slot.
 It was explained to a representative on all messages and telegraIns costing fifteen cents or over from subscrtb- ers stations will be included on the regular bills sent out by the com pany. It was stated that, at this time, it was impossible to compute what this tax would amount to in the local Exchange.

OPINION CONCERNS
 BANK DIRECTORS

Attorney General John H. Light has given an opinion to Bank Com missioner Fred P. Holt regarding the state banking law. Parts of the opfn- ion fo11ows:=
 ''You ask my opinion to wheth- CT under section 3443 of the General Statutes a savings bank is violating the law because among it's directors (who number f1fteen), there are four directors of one national bank, three directors of another national bank and four directors of a, trust company, and you further ask whether the saw ings bank in question should be re- quired to reduce the numbers of di- rectOrs who are also directors in a national bank or trust company, to three in each case,'' says the attorney generals opinion.
 He then quotes Section 344s of the General Statutes, as follows:
 No more than three officers of any one savings bank shall be officers of any one bank of discount or circuIa- ton or trust company; and. no cashier of bank of discount or circulation

shall be treasurer of any savings bank

shall be treasurer of any savings bank having over S50O,OO0 deposits
 After citing legal authorities and quoting the statutes, the opinion says:
 The varied provisions permitting savings banks to deposit (n other banks and trust companies, and to purchase or loan upon the stock of other banks and trust companies, and to measurabIy compete with them in making loans are unquestionabIy the reasons for the continuance of the provision in regard to limitation upon officers of a savings bank, being con nected with other banks or trust com panies.
 'tIn view of the history of the act in question, and the evident purpose in tended to be observed thereby, it is rny' opinion that Section 3443 of the General Statutes, concerning which you ask, uses the word officers as including directors and that therefore the bank in question should be com pelled to change it's directors so as to comply with the law"
