Nrrtk JOI Chicago, 111, Full Dress Suits am Ua Mraat, SUPREME COURT DEHED Tho Beef Trust defies tlio Supremo Court of tho United States every day of. Its existence. It denes nnd violates tho pcrinunent Injunction granted ngulnst it by the highest court of tho country January 30, 1005. And such Is Its power for harm, that no odlclnl can bo found who will stand tip for what tho United States Supreme Court decreed on behalf of tho people. Tho Beef Trust continues Its exig ence as a combination In restraint of trade and commerce. It continues to fix nnd to maintain throughout tho country u uniform nnd exorbitant price for meat In deflaneo of tho manduto of tho highest court In tho' land. Tho temporary Injunction Issued by Judgo Peter S. Grosscup May 20, 1002, ngnlnst tho Beef Trust was made jicr timncnt by tho United States Supremo Court In a decision announced Janu ary SO, 1003. Tho decision establishes theso points : Tralllc in Hvo stock transported from State to Stnte Is Interstate commerce nnd persons engaged in buying nnd tolling such live stock arc engaged In Interstate commerce. Tho combination between dealers to suppress 'all competition In the pur chaso of Hvo stock is an unlawful ro Htralnt of trade. Tho combination between dealers to fix and maintain a uniform prlco in tho sa)v of meat throughout tho coun try Is an unlawful restraint of trade. Tho combination of dealers to ob tain preferential railroad rates, Is nu unlawful restraint' of trade. All combinations suppressing compe tition between independent dealers full under tho prohibition of tho Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Tho most awful thing in the history of this Republic from its foundation to tho prcseut time, Is tho open, fla grant deflaneo by tho Beef Trust .of tho permanent Injunction granted against it by the Supreme Court of the United States, If tho Supreme Court can bo flouted by multl-mllllonalre law-brenkers, what has become of our Government? A stringent Statu law Is needed to rcgulato tho establishment of banks, Tliero nro too many wild-cat lluauclal schemed now lu existence In Chicago. Not wishing to competo with the big banks, Irresponsible peoplo aro starting up small banks lu tho outlying districts of Chicago, from tlino to time. This practice has had disastrous results ukjii tho business and lluauelnl Inter ests of tho entire city. Many hundred small business men nnd traders have been ruined by this class of Institu tions, This nefarious practleo should be stopped and tho only way to stop It Is by municipal legislation. A provision ought to bo. mado in the city charter authorizing tho city under Its police power to rcgulato the estab lishment of banks and creating In pursuance of this work n board for the examination of all proposed now banking concerns. Such a board should be given amplo power to exam ine Into the financial standing of the promoters of these Institutions, nnd none should be allowed to be licensed unless such as could show assets ample for the carrying on of their business, sufficient to cover the amount of their deposits, and sound and substantia) enough to thoroughly protect their depositors.

If the city has the right to regulate plumb crs, to rcgulato engineers, to regulate the elctlcul business, to regulate pawn brokers and the scores of other busi ness enterprises nnd Industries over which It exercises unquestioned suier vising powers, It certainly has n per fect right to regulate tho banking busi ness, which Is of far more Imiiortance than anything In the lino of business In tho city, because upon the legitimate and honest business methods of these Institutions depends the welfare of the entire city in Its business and commer cial life, while methods of a contrary kind Indulged in by small. Irresponsible speculative concerns only results In failures that Involve Injuriously the In terests of tlio entire community. How often have wo seen it that tho failure of one of these little banks, started upon Insecure mid Irresponsible founda tions, and booimsl by fraudulent 'and fnlso representations, have dragged down to ruin hundreds of good, hard working, thrifty and deserving citizens. Tho licenses Issued by the examin ing board, which, of course, should be composed of responsible citizens and able financiers, should bo of a charac ter that would bo absolutely prohibi tive of all Hellenics nnd projects for the establishment of phony conccrnc of this kind. This would be welcomed by all sound and responsible banking houses, whether prlvnte or nntlonal. Banks like the Hibernian Banking Association, the Illinois Trust and Sav ings Bank, Graham & Sons, tho Union Trust Company, tlio South Chicago Savings Bank, the Commercial Nation al, tho Continental National, Drovers Deposit National, the Fort Dearborn National, National Bank of the Republic, nnd other banks that have weathered every panic and every storm for years deserve well of the peo plo of Chicago. And yet foolish peoplo pass them by and hand their hard-earned money over to concerns that have not n single banker connected with them and whose leading men hnvo been grafters either In political or prlvato life, and who nl ways hnvo thclt hands out for easy coin.
