Note: In the war Of the American revolu-
ton, Benjamin Franklin, who was the frst
minister to France, and who negotiated the
first treaty for the colonies with the king Of
France. was continually In communication
with DR.. Priestly Of London. and David
Hartley. member Of Parliament for Hull, and
through them, In unofiicial touch with the
government Of England. Negotiations and
understandings established thus. in the end
so weakened Lord North that his cabinet
collapsed about the time Of the surrender Of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown, and Lord Rocking
ham came TO power with q cabinet Allied with
friends of the American colonies. The unof.
heial negotiations set on foot By Franklin
became the basis for the final treaty Of
peace.

No Bank Monopoly Yet.

Although the point involved may not be set
tied short Of final ruling by the supreme court
the cent decision Of Judge A. ]. Cornish Of the
district bench Of Lancaster county against the as
sumed right Of the State Banking board to refuse
charter solely on the ground that the community
where il is proposed TO start the new bank is al
ready sufficiently supplied with banking facilities
has far-reachng significance. Judge Cornish
holds unequvocally that, as our Nebraska laws
now stand, there can be no banking monopoly in
the sense Of being protected by law against COM
petition OF other adequately capitalized and hon.
esty managed banks
On general principles, public opinion is against
monopoes whether in doing banking business
or selling automobiles, in vending money credits
or grocery credits, and If the people ever reach
the point Of acquiescing in bank monopoly they
will probably want it to be a state owned and
state managed bank The fact is that even without
court interference the State Banking board could
not keep down new bank, amply backed, for a
national charter could be obtained, though denied
state charter, but to do so would require cap
ital perhaps not justified by the size OF the
locality What the State Banking board, however,
has right to do, and it is its duty to do, is to
protect the deposit guarantee fund against dan
gers and risks which is quite different matter.
An existing bank, or proposed bank that would
put an extra hazard upon this insurance fund
could properly be turned down or closed down,
and action along this line could in no way be con-
strued as policy for building up monopoly in
banking anywhere.

Those employers who have announced an in
tention to continue for specified length Of time
the wages of any on their pay rolls who may have
been called to the colors, may feel assured their
motives will be variously defined. 1t is not likely
though, that sheer selhshness animated them all
A far better way to look at the movement is to
admit that some of the soulless institutions have
actually developed a spot that can be touched
other than the poeketbook nerve. 1t would be
incredible if all the welfare work developed within
the last decade were solely for exhibition pur-
poses The present manifestation may we'll be
accepted as the result Of determination of the
big corporations to do their bit" along with the
boys who go to the front, and in no finer way
could they do this than by making the soldiers
mind easy as to the fate of those he leaves be-
hind. The action Of these employers is in strong
contrast to the conduct Of some members Of or
ganized labor who have refused to enlist merely
because the pay OF soldier is not equal to the
wage scale commanded in civil life.

Business Methods in City Purchases.

Much improvement has been made in purchas-
ing methods employed by municipal authorities
but there is always room for more improvement
This is strikngly emphasized by paper that
has just come to hand in the printed proceedings
Of the City Managers association" which met
at Dayton last November, and which contains a
discussion of Buying for the City" by the pur-
chasing agent for Dayton. Some Of the exper-
fences cited as examples illustrating how savings
can be effected for the benefit Of the taxpayer,
are so directly in point that they are worth quot
ing. Here are three cases submitted to prove the
value Of closely watching the markets for the
most favorable moment.
l. We purchased cast iron water pipe at an
exceptionally low price by going into the mar
ket at the right time, when the iron market was
at its lowest point and the pipe foundries wild
for business to allow them to keep. running.
We waited three months after we knew we
would need the pipe until we judged conditions
were right. After the purchase was made the
market advanced several dollars ton within
two months and as we used sixty-three hundred
tons, the saving on this one item was sufficient
to pay expenses Of our entire division for more
than four years.
2. We contacted for years supply Of
gasoline on August |, at 9 cents per gallon,
the lowest point in the market here. The ad-
vance to date has been 4 or cents gallon,
and good prospect Of further advance, and
as we will use 5000 gallons, we are already
5000 ahead.
3. Next spring we expect to build three
bridges which will require approximately 800
tons OF reinforcing steel. Instead OF waiting
