hAGEL HEADS CHI
CAGO LAUNDRYMEN

The installation Of George w. Nagel
of the Peerless Steam Laundry Com
pany, as President of the. Chicago
Laundrymen's Club, last Thursday
evening, marked a deserved promotion
of one of that organizations best
known and most active members. The
Chicago Laundrymen's Club, let it be
said, is the most influential body of
the kind in the world and known
everywhere for the pleasant habit it
has of pulling off, big things as
matter of course.
Mr.. NageI, as chairman of the Clubs
Transportation Committee. has had
charge of two important special trains
and his initiative and ability have con-
tributed much to their success. Each
year the Club runs a special Pullman
train to the city where the Laundry
owners National Association holds it's
Convention. LaundryoWners from
other points are invited to share the
privileges of these splendid trains.
The 1919 Convention was in New
York; the 1920 in San Francisco. Some
three hundred representative laun-
dryOwners, with their wives and fami-
lies, enjoyed the trip through the Can
adam Pacific Rockies to Vancouver
and Victoria, and from there through
Seattle and Portland, to the Golden
Gate. Mr.. Nagel made the arrange
ments for the trip and was in charge
of the train.
The installation dinner, at which he
took office, was held at the Metropole
Hotel, where the Clubs attractive and
distinctive quarters are located and
where it may be expected to take a
larger place in the city's social life.
The other officers of the Club in
stalled with him were: Louis Levitetz,
first vice president; ]. P. Kerwin, sec
ond vice president; c.. A. COmstOck,
secretary; F. W. Casterlin, treasurer;
| J. H. McNally, sergeant-atarms.
The directors of the Club are: J. w.
| Mclaughlin, D. S. Mann, William
| Farley, Hugo Pellage, Fred James,
| S. A. st. Peter, Fred Hicks and NJ H.
Epps.
With such a cabinet, Pres. Nagel
will certainly have a record year.

Continues SKIP
STOP CAR SERVICE

Skip-stop service on the Chicago
Surface Lines has been ordered con-
tinued by the public utilities commits
sion.
One-man cars for outlying districts
and a continuation of the experiments
with trailers was provided for in the
order.
The skip-stop plan has already been
approved by the city council.
The order, after providing for the
skip-stops, declares that one-man cars
provided with safety devices have
proven practicable where the traffic is
not excessively heavy.
Use of the one-man cars, the order
say, will release many cars for down.
town use.
Immediate purchase and use of
more trailers is provided for in the
order.
The car company's engineers are in
structed to draw up tentative plans
for the rerouting of lines, so that a
maximum of efficiency may be OBJ
tanned.
The order marks the end of an old
case started at the instigatiOn of the
Cook county real estate board for bet
ter street car service.

SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1921.
LEGISLATURE MUST ACT.

The coming session of the legisla-
ture promises to be one of the most
important ever held. Both Chicago
and Cook County are looking forward
to this session on account OF financial
need. Eighteen thousand city en-
plOyes are waiting to see what the
legislators will do in the way OF giving
them increased salaries.
The city council finance committee
put the matter up to the general as
sembly.
Increases totaling S6,5O0000 have
been asked by 10000 employees to
date. If the remainder ask like in
creases the total will reach $8,0O0,OOO,
statisticians say.
In considering the increases the
committee adopted the following reso-
luton:
mo hearings will be held nor ap-
plications considered for salary in
creases until it is known what finan-
ciaI relief will be given the city of
Chicago for 1921 corporate purposes"
A state bonus for WOrld-war veter-
ans will be asked of the fifty-second
general assembly by the American LIE
gion as a result of the recent referen-
dunn in all posts of the state, at which
80 per cent of the members voted in
favor of the bonus.
In the bonus bill, which will be in
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive D. S. Meyers of Pontiac, conscien-
tious DIRECTORS will be excluded from
the benefits of the proposed act. Ser
vice requirements to receive benefits
of the bonus will range from mini
mum of two months to a maximum OF
twenty months.

HITS FONE RATES

An appeal from the final order of
the state public utilities commission
fixing telephone rates in Chicago was
sent to the Sangamon county Circuit
court at Springfield by Chester E.
Cleveland, special assistant corpora
ton counsel for the city.
The appeal to the downstate court
was taken under the provisions of the
state public utilities act.
It asks the court to set aside the
commissions order fixing telephone
rates in Chicago on the ground that
the valuation of $7O,0O0,O00 for the
company's property in Chicago is ex-
cessive and the rates fixed will return
an unreasonably large profit on the
actual investment.

BANK OF NORTH DAKOTA LITIGATION.

On the application of citizens of Stuts11an couh-
.ty, the Bank of North Dakota has been temporarily
.enjoined from the transaction of banking business,
the plea of the plaintiffs being that the institution
has no legal existence as a bank, its organizers hav-
ing not complied with the laws Of the state govern
ing the creation and operation of banks. The effect
of the decision, unless it is modified, overturned or
|defied, will be to discontinue the operations Of the
bank until the time fixed for the formal hearing on
the application.
It is not at all unlikely that the order will be
ldefied. Ilnsthe government of North Dakota as now
constituted, there is scant respect for the authority
and orders of the courts. Appeals are taken to the
courts by the administration when that course pleas
les its members, and the court orders are observed
or not, as maybe convenient. The governor himself
has set the example Of. defiance Of court orders, and
it is not to be expected that his subordinates will be
any more regardful of the dignity and authority of
the courts than the chief executive himself Unless
there is such a defiance Of the order, the state will
be saved by it from the dissipation of a considerable
quantity OF its funds between the present time and
the day set for the final hearing on the application.
Money paid into the Bank Of North Dakota IS paid
into an institution whose managers have no regard
for the conservation Of the states property or the
protection OF its interests. These men have used the
funds Of the state whenever it was convenient to do
50 for the promotion Of private and political ends,
while the taxpayers to whom the money belonged
have been ohligedto finance their own public bodies
out Of their own pockets by use Of their own credit.
This conditionsof ~affairsis one of the things that has
brought the credit of the state into tie condition in
which It now q, and if the temporary Injunction Just
issued can save the taxpayers even a portion Of this
waste and loss II will be 4 most desirable thing
