more offices for more agitators and
90 on. It is the same old story ef
creating fat Offices for worthless agi-
tators who could not live otherwise.
After awhile, the awakening. comes
when the cost has to be paidsinth
shape Of higher taxes, higher freight
and interest rates. For capital is
easily scared. out Of q. state that at
tempts any restrictive legislation and
the state itself. has no capital except
what it takes from its citizens Iii the
shape Of taxes, and as the farmers
.oVa 30 per cent Of the properly they
WI have to. pay most of.sthe5 taxes.
II am, interested in a small way in
several lines d. business in, this dis.
trict. But in none of them does the
profits compare in any way with the
profits from my farming business,
which actually has been enormous in
the last few years, and why any far
mer should support these agitators
who are publishing all over the union,
that we have been robbed to such an
extent that we are all broke, sur
passes my understanding.
My advice to farmers who are dis
satisfied with marketing conditions
is to join one Of their local elevator
associations or build a good granary
on their farms and ship their own
grain land if not satisfied with the
Minneapolis Tor Duluth markets, ship
it to St. Paul or wherever they get
the best price&sfo it. They are bound
to get the full value by thus handling
it as the Federal government con-
trol--the grading and weighing espe-i
tally for their benefit. The idea Of
manufacturing all our wheat into
flour is a dream as we could not COM
pete with the great milling and SELL
ing agencies Of the east any more
than we could compete with the great
transportation lines in hauling freight
with farm wagons.
Yours truly, ls57

AFFECTS JOINT
ACCOUNTS IN
SAVINGS BANKS
Decision of Supreme Court in
Bennington Case
JUDGMENT is REVERSED
County Court Awarded Charles A.
Maurer Possession Of $4,000
Account in Local Bank

A Supreme court opinion has revers-
ed the verdict of Bennington county
court by which Charles A. Maurer OF
this village was named the surviving
owner of a bank account amounting TO
$4,000 and deposited in the Bennington
county savings bank in the name OF
the late Richard M. Houghton of Ben
nington.
The case in Bennington county court
was heard at the December term, 1918,
and was brought by Houghton Rice
and Fred Bugbee, executors of the
estate of Richard NJ. Foughton. The
executors claimed that Mr.. Maurer's s
name appeared in connection with the
account in the capacity of agent. At.
torney Maurer's claim was that the
account was in the joint ownership OF
himself and Mr.. Houghton.
The account was originally in the
name OF William f. Hawks and was
transferred to Mr.. Houghton when the
latter sold several parcels of real es-
tate on School street. The bank was
involved in the case indirectly in that
it had declined to deliver the account
to the executors of the estate when
demand was made upon It,
Several days was consumed in the
hearing of the case in which Henry
Chase and Collins NJ. Graves appeared
for the executors and James X. Batch
elder and r. E. Healy for Mr. Maurer.
The jury was out but ten minutes
when it returned with verdict for
the defendant
The Supreme court opinion was read
by Justice Leighton p. Slack The
court was divided, Justices George NJ.
Powers and Willard NJ Miles dissent
ing. The opinion is in effect that the
executors are entitled 10 the fund in
question and that taxable costs should
be paid out of the fund. The defen,
dant's costs shall be reckoned from
the time OF serving the citation.
The opinion will have a far-reach-
ing effect as it holds that when a per.
son whose name appears on a bank
deposit other than the depositor
claims an interest in the fund. either
by reason of gift or otherwise, he must
show IN fact that he has such an in
