The Chicago Pneumatic Tool Com pany of 1470 Michigan avenue have tho best motor truck mado In the Lit tle Qlant. Addison street, one of the widest and longest east and west streets on the north and west sides, should be made a boulevard. John T. O'Mnlloy of 1222 North Wells stroot, tho popular proprietor of the big Wells Boarding Stables, Is ono of tho best liked Democrats in Chicago. Ho Is one of tho coming men of tho party and should ho ovor run for office would bo a certain win nor. R. McDonald of Clinton and Adams Mrnpts Is popular with printers, manu facturers and everybody else. Both as a judge and a citizen John R. Caverly Is liked by everybody who knows him. Chicago bankers opposo tfio pro posed ordlnanco now bofore the coun cil for city supervision of prlvnto banks. , The reasons advanced against tho pnssngo of tho ordlnanco nro as fol lows: 1. Unprecedented. 2. Questionable constitutionality. 3. Would provide another excuse for blocking proposed state legislation. 1. Would not provide for regulation of downstnto private banks. 15. Very llttlo or no tlmo would bo gained if legislature does net this bos hIoii. C. Incorporation under the banking laws of this stnto is essential to suc cessful modern banking: (a) In order to provide duflnlto capital mid liability. (1)) In order to provides double- lia bility. (c) In order to distribute responsi bility for ownership, control, direc tion and management. (d) In order to pormlt satisfactory auditing. (c) In order to provide for proper supervision and regulation. (f) In order to provont Interrup tion of business upon death of princi pal. (g) In order to soparato bank in-, vestments from those of principal. 7. Confusion of public over still nn other class' of bank created by ordi nance. 8. Certainty of public mistaking license by tho city for Indorsement of tho city. 9. Necessity of prUnto bunks hav ing to adjust their affairs twlco when state enacts law. 10. Might lncrcaso number of prl vnto bank failures if not given amplo Highly Respected tlmo to convert nsaots in order that they might comply. 11. City probably would not de posit own funds In "city banks." 12. City comptroller not equipped to porform highly technical and ex pert duties provided by ordlnanco. 13. Somo existing stnto banks with $200,000 capital might surrondor charters and bocomo "city bnnkB." 14. Effect would bo similar to that of branch banking. 15. Public mennco if many "city banks" nro established. STUCKART NOT TO BLAME High Taxes Are Work of Assess- sors and Not of County Treasurer. Honry Stuckart, county treasurer, objects to being blamed for tho In crease In taxes.

Federal officials discovered tho ex istence of city ordinances which If enforced would provont tho hoarding of food articles in cold storago plants nnd would aid In tho campaign to reduce tho high cost of living. Why tho ordlnanco which specific- Superior Bench. ally forbids keoplng articles of food in cold storage for purposes of fore stalling tho market or Increasing the prices has not beon discovered by tho city authorities, or why, It known, it has not been invoked, Is tho question which somo of tho federal olllcials nro asking, "Tho fact that eggs are put Into cold storago when thoy soil at 17 cents for tho purposo of holding them thoro until tho prlco is raised to moro than 45 conts Is n clear caso of fore stalling tho market nnd clearly in violation of tho ordinances dealing with that question," snld Assistant United Stntos District Attornoy John H.
