ALTERATIONS IN LAW, ar case to that decided Yes- was that of the San I'rancisco y National Bank against Assessor Dodge of the city and county of San Francis- co. This case was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States and was de- cided against the people. It was lieved that this was a final decision an would affect all simllar cages, but as the Federal Government ha$ a statute allowing each State to nx its own method of assessing national banks, subject to some restrictions, and as some alterations have been made in the law, the validity of the State law is subject to the State Supreme Court and the decision yesterday will be effective in the rulings of the future in all cases of the same kind.

Of the nine Federal Supreme Justices five made one interpretation and the other four another. As a result of the local decision yesterday the action of the Federal Court affects only the Dodge case, which does not test the validity of the Callfornia statute in its present form. 4 NOT DOUBLE TAXATION. It was the contention of the plaintiff in the case decided yesterday that to tax her shares of bank stock would be & { form of double taxation and that the law, if valid, would discrimnate against national banks and favor State banks. In answer to ®his it is explained that a State bank is assessed for its real prop- erty and for stock in excess of the value of that property. The national bank property is not assessed directiy, | anad to assess the stock therefore would not be any form of double taxation. Justice Angellotti wrote the Crocker decision and Justices Shaw, Sloss, Lori- | gan and Beatty concurred with him in the decision. Justice Henshaw con- curred and added twg or thrée pages of itten matter on the taxation of kinds of franchises. Justice McFarland dissented from the decision, but failed to give his reasors for So doing. The case will not go to the Federal Court. ————————— Cooper & Co., the stationers, 42 years on Market st., now 1427 Fillmore, near Ellis.

Mr. Dohrmann said also that the| Fireman's Fund had been doing busi- | ness in San Francisco many years. After | the firé the officers believed they could | pay dollar for dollar, but their books | were burned and they did not know | what could be done. . Incidentally Mr. Dohrmann spoke of the Fireman's Fund as “not of the class of such as we call | our enemies.” More thin $10,000,000 of | insurance was involved. The assets of the Fireman's Fund were very large. Attorney Redman made a statement| which supplemented Dohrmann's and | containéd some additional facts. He said | that the Fireman's Fund policy-halders | numbered 6000. The company’s officials had done all that they could and had | now come to the place that was styled by: themselves “the execution. point.)' Tiie time had come for action and the company must deal with some body of citizegs competent to handle and solve the present problem. Hasty legal ac- tion could have but one result—a ¢om- | paratively &émall dividend. Redman also | spoke of the “splendid plant that the Fireman's Fund had built up” and the reputation all over the United Stat of the managemant of the company for | honesty and integrity. Paymentg would begin very soon, Redman said, if the policy-holders would register with the Policy-holders’ League. It was necessary to have an organization to deal with the Fire- man’'s Fund. Nothing under the plan proposed would be left for the com- pany except enough to continue in businese. The heaviest possible practi- cable assessment would be laid on the stockholders. Any larger would defeat its own purpose. In answer to a question Redman sald he did not believe that the assess- ment would pay policy-holders in full Many stockholders did not live in Cal- ifornia; perhaps one-third of the whole lived elsewhere. Some would not pay. The thing to do wWas to levy an assess- ment that would realize the most. If the company's securities were thrown on the market at once their value would be greatly depreclated.

Scott said that the plan suggested would give policy-holders twice as much as they could recover at law, and they would get their .money in six months instead of waiting five years for it. H. T. Hobson asked whether the Poli- oy-holders’ League would be able to defeat an attempt to throw the Fire- man's Fund into bankruptey, and At- tornéy Redman sald that he thought not. Four months had already passed and no one had brought suit, and that cireumstance was indicative of the In- tent of the policy-holders. “If the assets cannot pay the claims in full as adjusted will the Fireman's Fund issue promissory notes for the balance?’ Seth Mann asked. *That has been discussed,” Mr. Dohr- mann replied. “The company cannot g0 on in business until it has satisfied every policy-holder.” W. H. Davis moved that a committee of five should be appointed by the Fir man's Fund policy-holders to conter with the Policy-holders’ League and that the policy-holders should join the league. When this Was put to vote there was no opposing voice. The gigning of the powers of attor- ney then proceeded. The committee of five will be named ih a few days by Chairman’ Dohrmann.
