Incorporated under the Laws of Illinois. By Henry P. Donovan. .100 Llw. - CHICAGO, DECEMBER 28, 1912. FRED W. UPHAM. Fred W. Uphnm finishes a long and useful career In public life with tho close of tho present year. Mr. Upliam as an alderman, and as a member of the Board of Review, performed all ot his duties well and faithfully to the best Interests of the people. Ho leaves the public service with an unblemished record for honor and Integrity and hu will long be remem bered as one of the best officials Chi cago and Cook County have ever had. FOR BETTER FIRE PROTECTION. Mayor Harrison on Monday again called the attention of the Council to tho necessity for better fire protcc tlon. He did so in Impressing on tho al dermen the Immediate necessity ot the development ot high water pres sure systems for different sections of tho city. - "Tho growth of Chicago," he said In a formal message, "has so far ex ceeded the development of the means ot coping with serious fires as to leave many sections ot the city with out adequate protection and In a large measure at the mercy of fire. "This condition is particularly truo of tho downtown district and terri tory adjacent to it on tho north, the south and the west sides and In tho stockyards district. The necessary protection can bo furnished these dis tricts only by tho installation of a high pressure water system operated independently of the present system." His communication carried with it a report ot tho engineering bureau of tho department ot public works upon the method anil cost of constructing the anti-conflagration equipment. This suggested a plan ot dividing tho busi ness section into fourteen districts and contemplated a system ot circu lating mains and hydrants In each and in the stockyards and central manu facturing districts. Tho cost of the entire system was set forth as 94,423,618. Two principal plans wero outlined, one calling tor a system covering all the fourteen dis tricts and tho other Including only tho districts where Firo Marshal Soy ferllch contends tho installation should not be deferred. Two plans wore submitted for tho stock yards and central business dis tricts, one of them calling for five en gines supplying pressure over both districts at a cost of $1,072,000. "Tho necessity for immediate action is great," wrote tho mayor In asking that It bo referred to tho water com mittee before It went to tho linance committee. Later ho said he had no recommendations on tho financial problom, but thought It could bo met by the issuance ot certificates. EAQLET8. Isaac A. Doff, who Is one of tho 'rooht popular Democrats In Chicago, is said to bo slated for the position "ot assistant bailiff of the Municipal court under Anton J, Cermnk. Mr. Doff came within a fow votes of being nominated for Sanitary Trus tee last spring. He Is now personal bailiff to Judge Owens and has a host ot friends. Heads of all the union labor or ganizations will be asked to send to the finance committee of tho County Hoard schedules of tho pay tho men in tho different branches of their unions receive, according to a resolution that was Introduced beforo the board yes terday by Commissioner Frank Ilagen and passed by tho board. The plan Is, first, to have on rec ord a list ot pay scales so that tho finance committee can make offhand estimates on cost ot work planned; and, second, to have at hand relative scales of wages paid workers, so that when a union demands a higher pay scale a comparison of tho pay mem bers of tho complaining unions get can bo mado with other unions. Chicago's Municipal Court judges at a meeting In tho city hall issued an EDITORIAL AND PERSONAL NOTES Pungent Paragraphs on Live Topics, with Some Comment on the Leading Men of the Day.

BURKE. ultimatum that they will refuse to occupy tho South Clurk street pollco court. The old Harrison street court, famed for its grlnio and malodorous atmosphere, in comparison with tho present quarter farther south, was a luxury, they said. "Worse than tho Black Hole of Calcutta," "tho most disgraceful and filthiest pollco court In tho United States" and "a fit ob ject of attention from tho health au thorities" wero a few expressions. "Let tho city fathers ride every day in elevators crowded with pickpockets, thieves and burglars and they soon will find money to Improve tho pollco court," said Judgo Hopkins. A reso lution was adopted declaring that after Janunry IS tho old courtroom will bo vacated and temporary quar ters obtained In tho city hall. Judgo John R. Caverly Is making tho flno record on the Municipal Court bench that every ono ot his big army of friends predicted ho would make. Moro real practical education and less fads is what tho people want In tho public schools. James S. Hopkins stands foremost among Chicago's leading attorneys and citizens. Sanitary District Trustees, aroused by a court verdict against tho district for $6,000 and attorney's fees, are go ing to ask tho Legislature to modiry tho laws under which Illinois farmers are permitted to sue tho district for damages. Tho enso in question Is ono brought for alleged damage to land by tho overflow of water from tho Sanitary District's channel In the Illinois Val ley. It Is only ono ot scores ot a similar nature. The trustees assert that under tho present law such suits may bo recurrent and that tho dis trict frequently has to pay plaintiff's attorney fees, which amount to moro than tho real damage verdict. "Tho law Is vicious, Iniquitous and unfair," said Trustco Thomas Sulli van. "Our attorneys proposo to go be fore tho Senators and Representatives and appoal for its modification." The nowly-orgunlzed board has an nounced that Its policy will bo to set tle as many as possible ot tho over flow cases out ot court. In Albert O. Wheeler tho financial and business world of Chicago has for a leader a man who enjoys tho highest esteem ot tho people. Albert J. Hopkins won tho everlast ing friendship of tho people of Illi nois by his honest, clean and fearless record in tho United States Senate. Joseph F. Connery, Recorder of Deeds, has requested tho judges ot tho Circuit Court to grant him addltiona olTice assistance, so that tho abstract department of his oulco may be re habilitated. In n communication to tho judges Mr. Connery said: "Theso abstract records woro In such bad condition and so far out of date nine years ago that they wero re written by contract at an expense to Cook County of $250,000. Tho detail ot keeping theso abstract records up to (Into has been so neglected slnco thoy woro rewritten that 80 per cent of them aro now as badly congested as thoy wero nlno years ago, before thoy wero rowritten. "It Is estimated that all lmmcdlato necessities In rolatlon to tho foregoing mentioned records can bo taken caro of and tho entire abstract plant re stored to good condition by tho em ployment of ono foreman, two drafts men, twenty clerks and two boys." GIvo tho children un education and cut out vocational training in tho public schools. Congressman Lyndon Evans would make a worthy Federal judgo. County Judgo John E. Owens con tinues to servo tho people in an ablo and fearless manner. Ho Is, de servedly so, ono of tho most popular olflclals In Cook County. A. J. Cermak and Frank P. Danlsch, bailiff and Clerk, respectively, of the Municipal Court, appeared beforo tho Council finance committee and suc ceeded in Rotting Increases of about $50,000 for oxtra clerks and bailiffs. They showed that tho Municipal Court was doing moro work than the Supe rior and Circuit courts combined on a much lower appropriation than either. Superintendent of Streets Frank W. Solon appeared beforo tho committee and attacked tho efficiency plan of the Civil Service Commission. Mr. Solon said that the report of tho effi ciency bureau was worked up by ex perts, sorao of whom were not citizens of Chicago and know nothing about lo cal conditions. Judge Edward Osgood Brown would do honor to a seat on tho Federal bench. Harry H. Lamport's many frlonds aro urging him to again mako the race for alderman In tho Twenty-third Ward. The great run ho mado before, when ho cut down a Republican plu rality of 3,500 to a bare GOO, makes his candidacy a favorite one. Tho building and grounds commit tee ot tho Board of Education adopted a recommendation that all schools bo opened indefinitely for public meet ings. Thirty-soven principals woro canvassed for their opinions and as a result tho sub-commltteo reported as follows: "After carefully considering tho matter we recommended tho use of assembly halls be afforded tho general public for any legitimate purpose on tho samo basis as permission was granted for tho holding of political meetings." Edward A. Dicker, former Munici pal Judge, Is tho choice of thousands of Republicans to succeed Superior Court Judgo Den M. Smith. John M. O'Connor, tho popular Stato Senator from tho Twonty-nlnth Dis trict, has announced his candidacy for Superior Court Judge. Payment ot $103,000 to tho Noel Construction Conwany for work on tho now City Hall was recommended uy uio council Finance Committee. About $173,000 is duo tho company, nearly all of which Is to bo paid to subcontractors. Three cash prizes, totaling $600, will bo awarded by tho City club for the best plans for a typical residential quarter section In tho outskirts of Chicago, according to announcement made by Alfred L. Baker, president of tho club. Tho competition, so far as known, is tho first ot Its kind In tho country, and is Intended to Interest professional city planners, architects, real estate men, contractors and per sons who aro working for a more attractive city. Eugene Riley, formerly connected with tho Northern Trust Company, has been appointed prlvato secretary to Thomas A. Smyth, President of tho Sanitary District. He succeeds John Oaynor, recently nppolnted purchas ing agent. State's Attornoy Maclay Hoyno an nounced tho appointment of Everett Jennings as nn assistant Stnto's Attor noy. Mr. Jennings, who has practiced law in Chicago for several years, will tako up his duties Jan. 1. Mr. Jen. nlngs will tako tho place of ono of tho nom-ovors of tho Wayman regumo. Tho Chicago Telephone Company, which Is suffering so much from want ot funds, according to certain city "experts" that it will have to ralso telephone rates on the people In order to exist, paid 8 per cent In dividends last year. Think ot Itl Eight por cent on twenty-seven mil lion dollars! This Is the company that started with a capital stock of halt a million and now has a capital stock ot twenty-seven millions. It pays 8 por cent annual dividend on twenty-seven millions and puts up a twenty-two story modern offlct building besides. The people of Chicago are such easy marks that the phone crowd want to get moro out of them and asks for an Increase in rates at the hands of the City Council. And two "experts" agree that this "poor" company is losing money! In 1911 the Chicago Telephone Com pany paid 8 per cent In quarterly divi dends of 2 per cent March II, I per cent, June 30; 2 ptr cent, September 30; 2 per cent, December 80, 1911. Here Is a nice little nest egg of $2,160,000 divided up among the stock holders. When to this Is added the profit! paid the "parent" Bell Telephone Company, the amount grabbed off the people of Chicago It simply enormous. Instead ot raising telephone rates, the City Council should lower, them. It Is about time that the state ot Illinois came to the rescue of the people and passed a law prohibiting the misuse of the name bank. As matters stand at present,. any one with money enough to hire and equip a store can paint the name bank on the front windows and so licit and receive deposits without let or hindrance. Every year hundreds of people lose their savings through the failure or collapse of one or more of these wildcat Institutions. Legitimate banks which are In themselves a guarantee of security, are passed by by thousand of aim pie and gullible people who are charmed by the advertisements and cunning allurements of men who never did any legitimate banking and who never intended to do any. The Chicago Eagle has often re ferred to this matter before and It again urges upon the legislature and upon men who are seeking seats In the general assembly, the necessity for passing a law protecting legiti mate banks and prohibiting Illegiti mate ones, The Telephono Trust will he fought by the people until It ceases to be a monopoly and until Its charges are as reasonable as the government It self would chargo for similar public service Peoplo who Imagine that the pass ing ot an ordinance by the City Coun cil will do away with a public domand for bettor conditions and lowor rates In tho telephono servlco aro mistaken, Tho telephono Is a necessity to the people and no one knows this better than che monopoly which controU It. Tho purchaso of newspapers or the purchase ot public, officials will not help the causo ot monopoly. The newspapers which support mo nopoly have lost their Influence with tho public, which is Intelligent and possessed of a good memory. Public officials who give away the people's rights or show favors to the telephono monopoly will not be for gotten. On the contrary, they will be prop erly branded and will be retired to private life. The people are In no frame ot mind to be trifled with. They are showing this every day and at every election. The man who sells them out to a trust may win the approbation of some mllllonalro-owned dally paper, but the common citizen, who Is In sulted, neglected and overcharged by the telephone service, will not forget. There is ono thing that the average voter has a knlfo up his sleevo for. That thing is the publlo official who favors tho Telophone Trust. A stringent Btate taw is needed to regulate the establishment of banks. There are too many wild-cat financial schemes now In existence In Chicago. Not wishing to compete with the big banks, Irresponsible people are starting up small banks In the outlying districts of Chicago, from time to time. This practice has had disastrous results upon the business and linancial Inter ests of the entire city. Many hundred small business men and trailers' have been ruined by this class of institu tions. This nefarious practice should be stopped and the only way to stop It Is by municipal legislation. A provision ought to be made In the city charter authorising the city under Its police power to regulate the estab lishment of banks and creating In pursuance of this work a board for the examination of all proposed new banking concerns. Such a board should be given ample power to exam ine Into the financial standing of the promoters of these Institutions, and 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 substantial enough to thoroughly protect their depositors. There can be no question as to the right and the Justice of the city to exercise such power under a properly constructed charter provision. If the city has the right to regulate plumb ers, to regulate engineers, to regulate the elctrlcal business, to regulate pawn brokers nnd the scores of other busl-( ness enterprises nnd Industries over' which It exercises unquestioned super vising powers, It certainly has a per feet right to regulate the banking busi ness, which la of far more Importance than anything In the line of business In the 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 spemlnt)ve concerns only results In failures that Involve Injuriously the In terests of the entire community. How often have we seen It that the failure of ono of these little banks, started upon Insecure and Irresponsible founda tions, and boomed by fraudulent and false representations, have dragged down to ruin hundreds of good, hard working, thrifty and deserving citizens. The licensee Issued by the examin ing board, which, of course, should be composed of responsible citizens and able financiers, should be of a charac ter that wonld be absolutely prohibi tive of all schemes and projects for the establishment of phony concerns of this kind. This would be welcomed by all sound and responsible banking booses, whether private or national. The cutting down of the number of police stations from forty-five to twenty-five as recommended by the council committee Is a mistake. It will take protection away from the people, weaken tho moral Influence of the police force and do no good. William D. Munhall would prove a winner as tho Democratic nominee for Judge of tho Superior Court next spring. C'.ry OFFICES NEW CITY MALL. City Architect Tenth floor. South end.
