BELIEVES IN CHICKENS

Representative Charles r. Davis
of Minnesota is leyel-headed fellow
with few superstitious notions; but he
believes nearly everything he hears
on the subject of rearing chickens.
There is absolutely no doubt in the
mind of Davis that, with trifiing in
vestment. a man could clean up not
less than $4,000 annually, out Of the
chicken business. with practically no
work to do except court money.
Davis explains 1t plausibly enough.
You buy dozen or so hens and build
a few coops and roosts at trivial cost.
Every morning you go out with a lit
tie sack containing some prepared
chicken food. such as one can buy at
any canary bird store, and call in
shrill tones: Chick chick chick E

John Burke Is Chosen
Better Roads Treasurer

John Burke. Treasurer OF the United
States. has accepted the office of treas
urer of the American Highway Associ-
alton. succeeding Lee McClung, who
died abroad several weeks ago. Treas
urer Burke, in taking ZIP his duties,
emphasized the fact that many of the
most serious questions in connection
with the obtainment of better roads
were those connected with taxation
and finances.
On account OF the fact that many
legislatures will be in session during
the winter. the association will direct
its efforts toward obtaining revision OF
road laws and the adoption of such
new legislation as will tend to pro-
mote simplicity and efficiency and at
the same time safeguard the handling
of public funds.

In taking such stand courts proceed
on the theory that the dishonoring Of
his check necessarily results in material
injury to the drawer. and, therefore,
hold that the law will conclusively pre-
sumo such to be the fact without the
necessity Of any proof.
But the fact, the bankers say, Is Of

Desiring to limit their liability for
r1onpayment of check through error
Washington bankers are preparing TO
have introduced in Congress bill to
this end. The subject will probably be
taken up at the next meeting of the
executive committee or the Washington
Bankers Association.
At the instance OF the American
Bankers Association, Thomas b. Patton.
general counsel for that organization,
has drafted the following bill to be
introduced in the various State legis-
latures:
BE it enacted, etc. No bank shall be
nonpayment through mistake or error
and without malice of a check which
should have been paid unless the de-
damage by reason of such nonpayment
and in such event the liability shall
not exceed the amount of damage so
proved
If the local banking institutions de-
terminc to seek such legislation, 1t is
said that the measure for which they
will ask enactment will be similar to
the Patton bill.
Would Change Present Rule.
The purpose of the proposed act is
to correct the rule established by many
courts to the effect tnat II a banker
refuses to pay the check of customer
who is a merchant or trader, drawn in
favor of third person, when The
drawer has funds on deposit sufficien.
to pay the same. tho banker will be
liable to such drawer in an action for
q nj al a a without nrnnf
actual damage or any malice on the
part of the banker.
Some Of the courts place the right Of
the drawer to recover substantial Ison,S
times called compensatory damages,
without proving actual damage. on the
ground Of public policy: others, on the
ground that the wrongful act Of the
banker imputes insolvency. dishonesty
