New YEAR BRINGS PROSPEROUS TIME

taken with respect to the American
Telegraph & Telephone company,
which combination has been dissolved
by its own act without any suit by
the government, affords an example
which will be followed by other large
combinations.
AT every opportunity the president
expresses his keen desire to so bring
about the breaking up of the large
concerns, as required by the Sherman
law, in a way that will disturb bust
ness the least. The results which have
followed the dissolution of the Bell
system make plain that all which is
desired by the administration can be
accomplished easily. smoothly and ami
cably without upsetting existing con-
ditions. Through the adoption of this
moderate policy it is now assured that
the trust question will be finally set
, tied without the occurrence of any
thing more serious than has marked
the passage of the tariff and currency
bills.
by far the greatest achievement Of
the Wilson administration was the sue
cessful passage of the Owen currency
! measure and the enactment of this cur
rency bill into law. Naturally, the
question now uppermost in the minds
of all is, What will be the effect of
this new system upon their particular
business? Most bank officers admit
that, despite the strenuous objections
they have raised over some of the
points of the bill, it nevertheless offers
much stronger financial system than
we have in operation.
Many of the dangerous and unde-
sirable features Of the bill as passed
by the house were eliminated in the
senate. while in conference it was
saved from some Of the ill-advised pro-
visions inserted by the senate Among
these may be noted the provision for
the guaranty of bank deposits and the
use of the new reserve notes as re-
serves by the member banks. 1t has,
indeed, seemed that in every step of
its progress the measure has been per-
ceptibly improved, either by addition
or subtraction. and thus the bill which
was heretofore pronounced 60 per cent.
good is now rated as a go per cent.
measure, with every possibility Of i'm
proving, by amendment, the remaining
10 per cent. This is most gratifying
sequel to long and tiresome task"

Court Issues Order Com
pelling Comptroller to
Show Why Salary
Should Not Be Paid

Albany, n. Y, February Civilian
Suizer today instituted legal proceed
ings before Justice Alden Chester of
the supreme court with the purpose of
regaining the governorship, from whicn
he was removed last October.
An order was issued by the court
Comptroller Sohmer to ap-
pear and show cause why writ of
mandamus, compelling him to pay the
former governor his full salary as
occupant of that office, should not be
issued Mr.. Sulzer previously had
made a written demand on Mr.. Sohmer
for his salary.
When Attorney General Carmody not
ifiec Justice Chester that he would op-
rcse the granting of the writ, the court
said he intended to refuse II as
matter of law, holding that the court
CT impeachment had been passed on
the contentious of Mr.. Sulzer.
Agreement Made
An agreement then was made be-
tween the attorney general and Col.
Alexander Bacon, counsel for Mr.. Sui
zer to facilitate the determination of
the questions involved by the state
courts The appellate division will be
asked to affirm Justice Chester's pro-
rosed order denying the granting of
the writ and then the case will be car
riad to the court of appeals where
similar request will be made. Thus
Suizer will be able to file his case In
the supreme court of the United States
with little delay it is believed. Doubt
is expressed. however. If final de-
cision can be obtained from the supreme
court before the term of Governor
Glynn, successor to Mr.. Sulzer, shall
have expired on December 81, 1914.
