.SCoTTSBLUFF
BANK FIGHT IS
N|pPED IN BUD
Grant Shumway Withdraws
Application for Charter;
Field Already Covered
by Five Banks.
BY 4 Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, April ia prospective
airing Of banking differences al
Scottsbluff, Neb., was nipped Fri
day afternoon when former Land
Commissioner Grant L. Shumway
withdrew his application for a char
Ter for a state bank at that place.
Shumway was slated to be vice
president of the bank. Four banks
already are doing business at Scots
Bluff and the other, which recently
obtained a charter, is now opening
up. The bankers there thought the
field already covered and filed a
vigorous protest with the state bank.
ing board against charter for a
sixth bank being granted.
Their protests set forth these
grounds in opposition to the pro
posed Shumway bank:
/. Illegal stock selling,
D Gross Misrepresentation TO facilitate
itS sale.
sale of stock above par.
l. Some Of the directors and stock
holders not men Of integrity and re-
sponsibility.
NlOldtiOu VI LILO HcW law
prohibits paying Of commission for the
sale of stock.
Demand Hearing.
I'VE demand a hearing" S. X.
Watrick, president Of the First Ma
tional bank at Scottsbluff, wifed
the board.
Attorney General Davis, presid-
ing at the board meeting, called
attention to the fact that the state
banking board has recently adopted a
rule which requires each stakeholder
in 4 proposed bank to submit an af-
iidayitl showing that he owns prop
erty worth twice as much as the
amount of his stock so as to meet
his Individual liability for double its
value as provided by the state con-
stitution The property is to be
listed under the headings of real
estate, personal property and chat
fels.
The only showing made on be-
half of the new bank in this re-
spect was by Mr.. Shumway himself.
Charged Commission.
II was claimed by the protestants
that in selling stock for the new
Scottsbluff enterprise, an extra
81 commission was collected OH
every 500 subscription to cover the
bank guaranty law and $40 more
for commissions to promoters, or
STA in all.
The legislature Of 1917 passed a
law forbidding the sales of stocks
at a higher price than par. The
present session passed S. F. 224,
which provides that no premiums,
bonus, commission, compensation,
reward, salary or other remunera-
tion shall be paid or promised for
selling stock or inducing any SUBJ
scription thereto.
The withdrawal Of the application
prevented an airing of the matter.

Institutional institutions at cost to
the state of $50 a month, covering the
period of education up to four years.
1t has not been fully determined how
many service men and women will
take advantage of this unusual oppor-
tunity, but Gov. Philip estimated the
number will be about 10000.
There was never any doubt about
the passage of the bill at the special
session, the only surprise being the
number of votes cast against it in the
assembly. Those voting "No" were:
Assemblymen P. M. Anderson, Bortin-
gale, Becker, Bowman, Defer, Grim
stad, Hewitt, Larson, Lorfeld, Nc
Clone, Mcdowell, Mitchell, Nolan,
Olmsted, Olson, Ploetz, Porath, Ruka,
Scharpf, Vaughan, Williams and
Zarnke.
After the passage of the bill Senator
Nye said the measure would not cost
Sic, 100000 but that it was decided to
place the amount that high in order
to meet any emergency.
Both houses adopted amendments to
make more convenient the administra-
ton of the blue sky law. One amend
ment will allow the taking of subScrlp-
lions for securities for the sale of
Glass A securities before the permit is
issued upon giving bond of $4,000 to
protect anybody signing the subscrip-
tions for such securities, the sale not
to be consummated until the matter
has been passed upon by the railroad
commission. Another amendment re-
duces the fee from 81 to SO cents per
thousand on stock authorized, the
maximum charge not to exceed $500.
A third amendment allows the sales Of
,ecurities which have been in the
hands of the public for one year prior
to Aug. 1, 1919, after less formal In
vestigation than is required for new
issues.
The Jennings bill, restoring soldiers
relief commissions which were abol-
Ished by an act passed at the regular
session of the legislature, went thru
without opposition.
By a vote of 81 to 80, the assembly
killed a resolution by Metcalfe, calling
upon the state board of Cancellation to
attempt to settle the Cudahy packers
strike. The senate refused to receive
a resolution by Bennett indorsing the
socaIled plumb plan" for the national
ization of railroads in the United
States.

BIG AWARD TO SOLDIERS

SPECIAL SESSION is ENDED
Expense of Education Bill Is Estima-

Adopted to Make "BIue Sky"
Law More Effective.

Madison-The Wisconsin legislature
closed its special session with the
passage of the Nye educational bill,
and provided for a tax levy of $751;
100000 to carry out the act. This sum
added to the $15,000000 soldiers
bonus approved by the people in the
referendum of Sept. is the biggest
reward for service men and women
voted by any state, and makes Wis
consin's war record unexcelled.

CURED in the bill So to o. There was
no debate in the senate, but a few
sratorical skyrockets were shot off in
the assembly after Assemblyman
Nolan and Bowman said the $4,000.
600 tax levy to carry out the bill was
too much of burden on the people
following the approval of the $15,00O,-
600 soldiers bonus.
They contended that there was no
demand for the Nye bill and that only
a small percentage of the soldiers
would share in it's benefits.

C. w. SPENCER, JR.

Mrs. C.. Spencer, wife of the
freight solicitor for the Tonopah 4
Goldfield railroad. gave birth to a
1914 pound baby boy at $40 last
night. Mrs. Spencer was to have
left for the coast this morning. MAX
ing one instance of the T. & G..
being ahead of time that will go on

wife of DIR. Brown. who is attend
ing Mrs. Spencer, states that the
child is a blonde, like its fathe..
but f. nj. Rebard and c. l.. Huntley
of the uptown office, say the boy
is good looking. Mrs. Spencer is
reported by DR.. Brown to be doing
nicely at the Association hospital.
There is no joke whatever con-
nected with the statement that
Spence ran wild last night when
he heard of the happy event. DR..
Brown, who has had considerable
experience in restraining newly
made fathers, says Spence" was
the craziest met with in his entire
career and that he could only be
brought back to earth by threats to
lock him in the furnace room of
the Goldfield hotel. where he was
when he heard the news. The rail-
road man thought the most appro-
pirate name for the boy would be
Excl, which in years to come would
provide him with the nickname of
sex Spence" but he was talked out
of this and agreed to the more dig
nified Curtis Warren Spencer. Jr."
and as that some day he may be
president.
