TACKSON'S administration stands
d forth In the half-century between
Jefferson and Lincoln because of two
measures. One Of these was the over
throw Of the United States bank.
That great institution, patterned
after the Bank of England and the
Bank Of France, was an efficient but
dangerous partner for democratic
government. 1t was money monop-
oily which could make or break any
enterprise In the country; 1t held In
Its grasp the financial life Of Amer
lea; 1t received and distributed all the
revenues Of the nation and half of
Its deposits were public moneys; but,
with only n fifth Of Its directors ap-
pointed by the government, It was
not under public control.
When Jackson began his audacious
fight upon the bank, 1t was at the
height Of Its power. Against heavy
odds, he vetoed the bill for reCharter-
Ing It; took his case to the people IL
his campaign for reelection, nnt
scored q complete victory. On til,
strength of that ronnlar verdict he
removed the government deposits
and left the bank to Il slow and igno.
minlous collapse.
For this action the senate censureG
him. After n bitter fight, in which

Jackson's one-time antagonist, Thomas
H. Benton, now a senator from Mis-
souri,, was his champion, the rcsolu-
ton was expunged by drawing about
1t In the records heavy black line.
Jackson was equally bold and vic
torious in meeting the threat Of multi
flcatlon, although 1t came from his
own section, from his own party and
from his own vice president, John c.
Calhoun. Shortly before his nnugu
ration congress passed the first tariff
that was framed for the benefit Of
the new manufacturing Industries
which were springng up in New
England. This bestowal of special
privilege aroused the jealousy of the
agricultural South.
At Democratic banquet In Wash
ington In 1880, President Jackson
rose and proposed this toast: "For
Federal Union; 1t must be pre-
served" Then Vice President Cal
houn got up and toasted the rights
OF the states. Thus the two highest
officials OF the government Joined
Issue across that dinner table on II
question which great armies would
fight out in another generation.
Two years afterwurd convention
In South Carolina solcmnly adopted
an ordinance multiplying the tariff act
FOR that state and forbIdding within
he boundaries of the state the col
lection of customs duties under It.
While recommending to congress Il

Jackson appealed to the patriotism Of

is no business firm in California
in which there is more perfect
cooperation between employees

tirm has so many veterans in its
service. There are men in the
Fuller Company who have been
with it for fifty years. Twenty
five years is a common length of
service. A ten-year man is CON

man class.
Efficiency and service are re-
Warded almost Immediately. and
raises of pay are made freely and
frequently, while bonuses are paid
quarterly and annually. Always
the best methods are adopted that
science and practical experience
can furnish, and always the most
competent help is employed. The
result of this broad business
policy has produced harmony
and cooperation that is splendid.

AN INTERESTING
INSTITUTION
The Vast Plant of w. P. Fuller &
Co. Paint Manufacturers,
Color Grinders and Cor
roders of White Lead

One of the oldest firms in San
Francisco is the historic house of
w. P. Fuller & Co. Unquestion-
ably the leading paint dealers this
side of Chicago, with one of the
largest paint factories in America,
and with thirteen branch houses
scattered at strategic points
from the Canadian line to Mexico,
taking in the greater part of the
Western American Continent.
The output of the firm is enor-
nous, and its export range covers
China, Japan, India, Australia,
New Zealand, Mexico, Central
America and South America.
The branch houses are situated
in the following cities, each fully
stocked with every variety of
paints, oils, varnishes and lead (:
Sacramento, Oakland, Stockton,
Los Angeles, San Diego, Pasadena,
Long Beach, Santa Monica, Calf,
Portland, Ore, Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane, Wash, and Boise,
Idaho.
This great firm is part of Cal
ifornia, one of its institutions that
has grown up with the state from
early days participating in its
fortunes, and sharing in the glory
of its achievements.
W. P. Fuller & Co. is not only
old in age, its existance going
back for over seventy years, but
it is also old in traditions repre-
senting at its best the creative
spirit of the great pioneers, whose
energy and brains built up the
West out of wilderness and the
desert. The founders of the firm
belonged to the class of early
ArgonautS.
The Fuller Products Saved in The
Great Disaster
w. L. Fnller q Co., under
which name the firm has been
known since the Incorporation in
1894, had only been settled in
their new home for a few months,
when it was burned to the ground
in the great disaster Of 1906. Still
the firm was lucky in a way, and
in a much better position than
many another house, for it retain
ed intact all its great stocks of
raw materials and finished pro
ducts at its factory site, several
miles away from the flames. For.
tmately, its purchasing agent had
accumulated a vast amount of sup.
plies, and these saved the day for

The statement that more than a
thousand teachers have resigned from
the schools Of New York City during
the last few months need occasion no
surprise. The public schools Of the
country. whether in city or rural dis
tricts, are having much the same ex'
perienco everywhere. Nor is the situs
tion likely to change until the readJust-
mcnt of wage scales for teachers has
been made as drastic as that which has
taken place in other vacations.
A recent report of the United States
commissioner of education indicates
that the average rise in teachers sal
aries during the threeyear period,
lal5-Ials. was about 10 per cent. Since
1915 there has been further increase
which probably brings the total up TO
25 per cent. But the scale Of wages in
all branches Of business has advanced
far more rapidly than that. In the
Cleveland and Chicago districts, which
were selected by the commissioner of
education for inquiry, IL was found that
public school teachers were quite, the
most poorly paid among skilled workers
in the whole community. In New York
City. where teachers are relatively bet
ter paid than anywhere else in the
country. their wages arc substantially
the same as those paid to clerks and
walters who require no special prepare
ton for their work.
There are said to be over 10000 va.
cancies in the public schools of the
United States to-day. vet never has the
need of a full teaching force been
greater than now. The schools are our
chief agency for the Americanizstion
of the people, and this is especially true
Of schools in the larger cities. II the
next generation is TO be 100 per cent
American the schools viii have to make
il so. We cannot well afford, there
fore. to practice false economy in this
/ field of public effort. Schools must
have more money and must find some
wav Of getting it.-Boston Herald

How VIII II Work.

a new plan for eliminating industrial
conflicts has been advanced in the pre-
liminary report of the presidents indus
trial conference, which has asked for
suggestions and criticisms fEJm both
capital and labor, Frank Waterhouse,
president Of the Associated Industries
of Seattle, makes the following APPROX
ais and suggestions of the plan in the
February issue Of The Nations Bust
ness:
I'VE approve the proposed triple
classification of disputes and govern
ment workers right of association. but
not their utilization with striking bod
les.
Eve disapproye the apparent hmits =
ton to government workers in the ad-
ministration Of justice, public order and
safety. We think this should include
teachers, those in the postal service
and others.
I'VE approve the provision that bod.
les controlling services and rates OF
public utilities should also control
wages and condition of work.
I'VE suggest that in the event OF a
pending strike a regional chairman IN
his discretion might take vote OF the
strikers on the question of whether
they would appear before the adjust
ment board by appointment of repre-
sentatives or not. We assert that ~
per cent of strikes called are called by

CANADA NAY TAKE OYER

The Proposal May Pc Laid Before the
Stockholders of Grand Trunk
System Soon.

/ London, Wednesday, Feb. tCanadi-
an Press Proposals by which the
Canadian government would take over
Che Grand Trunk railway system, in.
Guiding lines controlled by the Grand
Trunk in the United States, VIII be
laid before stockholders of the com
pany by Sir Alfred Smithers, chairman
of the board, Feb. ID. With his call
for the meeting sent out to-day, sir
Alfred issued a circular stating the
board of directors advised acceptance
Of the proposals, which were in the
form Of an agreement approved by the
Canadian parliament last October.
Rate increases granted the Grand
Trunk have been inadequate to keep
pace with the enormous expenses IN
Cured during the last few years, the
circular says, and the situation OF the
company is declared to have been great
ly exaggerated.
"When the Canadian government be-
comes the owner of the system the
circular continues, sit can speedily
bring about such a readjustment OF
rates as viii permit fair return on
the capital invested.
The government agrees to assume
the debentures of the company and also
an issue of per cent guaranteed
stock" the holders of the latter re-
reiving in exchange for their stock 4
per cent non-voting certificates. Inc
common stock and the several preferred
issues of the company are TO be pur-
chased by the government at a price
to be fixed by arbitration. The holders
will receive pro-rata 4 per cent non
voting certificates, redeemable at par
any time after 10 years.
As soon as the shareholders accept
the agreement, management OF the road
win be taken over by board OF hye
members, appointed partly by the gov
eminent and partly by the company.
When the sale is finally concluded, the
| Grand Trunk will formally become part
| of the Canadian National system, which
| includes the Inter Colonial, the Nation
al Transcontinental and the Canadian
| Northern.
The difficulties Of the Grand Trunk
date back to 1903, when the late
Charles NJ. HAYS. then president of the
company. undertook to extend the sys-
+, tenn westward to the Pacific coast. BY
the Arrangement with the Canadian
government, the Grand Trunk Pacific
was constructed. from Winnipeg to
| Prince Ripper on the Pacific by the
Grand Trunk. the government and the
| Grand Trunk guaranteeing the con-
struction bonds. At the same time
the government constructed the Nation
al TranseontinentaI from Winnipeg
eaS to Moncton, ~ B.. on an agree
| ment with the Grand Trunk to lease
and operate the road when built. The
government built road cost so much
| that the Grand Trunk could not meet
interest on the guarantee bonds. The
government came TO the aid Of the
company year after year until 1918,
when il was decided TO hold the Grand
Trunk to its 1903 bargain. Negotiations
for the taking over Of the system thep
commenced.
