Co ercinl Banks Bar tering Such Securitios ers Insurance Company-— ational Lands, ed From Ut A Farme LixcoLs The state banking board and the boara of bank examiners heid an important meeting at the capitol this morning. It was called for the purpose of taking the initial stop for the appointment of a_recciver of tho State bank at Long Pino, Pending final action, a resolution wus adopted that definite causos be specified by Examiner Brink before the necessary proccedings wero commenced in the supreme court, The board decided th cannot issue debentur Laxcons Braeav or Tue OMuma Bee, 1020 PP STREET, , Neb,, Dee. 14, t commercial banks bonds. This class of securities, it was suggested, aro exclusively the right of loan and trust companies, At the request of Examiner MeN an opinion, propared and submitted to him in November by Attorney General Loose, was adopted, and as it bas not yet boen made public, with the self-cxplanatory correspond- ence, is as folloows: Harrixes, Neb,, Nov. 24, 1880.—~Hon. Will inm Leese, Attorney General, Lincoln, Ne —Dear Sir: Does not the law regarding co porations in tnis state limit the amount of indebteduess which can be created by such corporations to two-thirds of its capital stock, which, in the case of bunks, does not mclude its linbilities on account of deposits? 1f 80, I8 not tne paid up capital of the bank the basis upon which such liabilitiey is w be reckoned ! In my examinations I have held to the firmative on boih of theso questions, and « siro to know whether my position is’ right or wrong. 1 a banking corporation subscribod capital stock—of which only 20 per cent (£10,000) is actually paid in—is per- mitted to borrow on “‘rediscounts” or ‘“bills payable,” 10 the amount of §33,000, wo ex- aminers might just as well be husking corn a8 examining dauks, Yo ghton with £50,000 Lixconx. Neb., Nov. 25, FIRO) MecNaughton, State Bank aminer.—Deur Bir: Your favor of the 25th inst. relating to limitation of the amount of indebtendess of corporations, and its upplication to banking corporations, is before me. In answer thersto would say that s 128 of chapter 16, compiled statutes, provides us follows: The articles of incorporation must fix the highest amout of inoebtedness or liability to which the corporation shall be at any one time subject: which must not_in any case exceed two-thirds of the capital stock, provided, however, that the above limitation shall not apply to debts for the risk of insurance companies, deposits in banks, and the notes, bonds or debentures of any loan or trust company organized under the provisions of this chapter. This section of the statute, I think applies 10 your question 8 to banking corporations. In answer to your other question, as to whether the two-thirds limit means two- thirds of the capitul stock subscribed, or two-thirds of the paid up capitat, I would say that [ am of the opinion that the limita- tion is upon the amount of stock paid up. That in o case under the provisions of this statute, would a banking corporation be jus- titled in incurring indebtedness for more than two-thirds of its paid up capital stock, except indebtedness for deposits. Yours very traly, WiLLBaM Leesk, Attorney General. ction Loung vs Tne Bee. The case of W. C. Long vs Tue Ber Pub- hshing compuny, before Justice Snelling, was tried today, Action was brought by Long to extort pay for alleged services of plaintiff in Oklahoma at the time of the boom last Avril. Plaintiff applied for authority to represent Tir Bee through the Lincoln office of this paper, and no attention was paid by the Omaha office to his application. He then went to the telephoue, called up the managing editor and applied for the commis- swon, His running mate, J, Prank McDon ald, testifiedd that within hearing of Long he made the same application in behalf of Long, which is not true. Kach testitiad in the tria! that the managing editor solicited their ser- vices, and as the contract by telephone be- tween the principals bad 1o be corroborated by a witness the plaintiff succeeded, by 80n of the fact that the night editor of Tin Bee, & competent witness, is in the east on Bick leave, and could not corroborate the testimony of the managing editor. The ni editor makes aflidavit, which of course is not admissible in court, that he overieard the conversation of the managing editor over the telephone with a man giving the name of Long; thot Long was told that Tue Bee was not prepared at that time to send a mau to Oklahoma. Finally Long was told that if he chose to send any letters to Tne Bek sub- jeet to approval ha mignt do so. If accepted they would be paid for; if rejected the ex- plicit * statement wids made that they would not be paid for; that Long was uot to represent himself to be a correspondent of Tiug Brr, for he would be considered as such, and that under no circumstances must he send anything by wire, The preponderence of evidence on the part of the plaintiff outweighed the evidence of ‘Iuk BEE on his point, as the latter's tes- timony as to the contrackgcouid not be cor- roborated at the trial, JuStlice Suellmg do- eided for vho plaintiff aud the case wus forth- with appealed to the district court, It was clearly shown at the trial that it 18 customars in all newspaper offices to pay only for matter printed. The plaintiff at- tempted to show that thero was a specific contract; that he was sent to Oklahoma as a ecial correspondent of Tng Bee, notwith- standing tho fuct that he went thero s a represontative of a half dozen other papers. Ho further testitied that he met the rogular |, correspondent of Tne Bee in Oklaboma, who told him that ho was a representative of this paper. ‘The news telegrams which Long scnt 1o Tk 13RE were promptly refused, and he was compelled to pay the telegraph charges, after which every letter ho sent by mail was rejected. None of his matter ever appeaced in Tug Beg, It has just been learned that Mr, Long ap- plied to the Liucoln Journal in a similar way; that he was informed thav his services wero not wanted at any price; that he pro- posed to represent them drovided that he was furnished with transportution for him- self and runving mate, Tuois was sgreed to and 1,700 milef of transportation wero furnished. A few duys thereafter Long made a draft on the Jonrnal for §20 which was paid as a mat- ter of charity. A shortuime thereafter Long sent a bill to the journal in the awountof $100 which was prompuly repudiated and he ‘was told that if he wantea it be might sue for it. Long made claims on other papers on just such slim pretexts and it is saia that he was successful in bilking such papers as did not want to go the expense of contesting his fraudulent claims in court. Mr. Long has.an unsavory record in busi- ness circles of Omaha, Council Biufts and Lincoln that will be alluded to hereafter, Educational Lands and Funds. ‘The board of educational lands and funds, cousisting ot Governor Thayer, Treasurer Hill, Attorney General Leese and Comumis. sloner Steen met this morning and passed upon the case of G. W, Hawey, relating to the right of way over certain school lands leased by him in Antolope county, It ap- pears that the Fremont & Elkbhorn Valiey railroad company had taken possession of it without condemnation or right of pur- chase.

A Correspondent Wants to Know Who Will Pay the Licenso. OwmAmnA, Dee. 14.—To the Editor of Tnr B I am not a butcher, nor am I con- nected with the busiuess, but I am, to some extent, a customer of meat and think myself interested. Isesin Tue Br f the 11th an interview with P. Besen. I wonld like to ask: Is not the price of meat high enough! Does P. Besen intend to say that the butch- ers will pay this license or will the con- sumer have to pay it! It strikes me that the pockets of the customers of P, Beson and others will have to suffer to just that extent. He speaks about pure meat, [t is my exper- ience that I can buy as good meat in a small shop as in a big one, and at & smaller price. P. Besen says u man who cannot pay $100 1s an unsafe man. Upsafe for what! As long us his prices are right and his meat good, what more does the customer want! Let P2, Besen 100k back a few years and remember how he landed in this country, an emigrant, and how he worked by the month, and how he began in a small way, If a “man with 15 cupital can come and take our business,” we who have been here ten or fifteen years, 1 think it is a poor showing. Does it not look like gall for an old established business man to ask the public to defend him against the #15 man so that he can charge his own price for meat} J.oJ L, They Want the License.
