Failure otf an lowa “Naitonal" Building
Association.
In the district court aft Des Moines,
la., John F. Pitt has filed a petition
asking for tlie appointment otf a" re
ceiver for the Union: Building nnd Sav
in gB Association (0/ "national’^. He
charges frauds and many irregularities.
He days that he put in $250 and that
he held a share valued .it $1,000. The
association how been under the-manage
ment of W. 8. TUdimond, who is now
in Minneapolis. Pitt #ayo that the com
pany hae been mismanaged, that busi
ness has been conducted at a loss, tliat
kuge and unprofltble loans have been
made, ami 'ohat the expenses nnd tht
cahirits of the ofllcere have been
largely in excess of the amount <ux-
thodzett 'by the" articles of incorpora>-
tk>n. _ ^
On account of the exdtament over
this failure representatives of most of
the building ail'd loan oompotaies of Des
Moines appeared before the executive
council! on Dec. 14, and presented a pe
tition asking the council to appoint
«omo bank examiner :{*> make .a thor
ough examination of the affairs of all
of them and make a detailed report of
each for publication. The council de
clined to make the appointment as re
quested, but signified Ha willingness to
appoint txaimlnera if left free to say
who and how many should be named to
make ithe exaiuation. To meet this re-
qulrermmt rthe .association modified Its
requeet.
Tho Ibwa Stiate Register of Des
Marne* says:
The failure otf a loan and building as-
Bociatton ha* caused 111 tie surprise In
Des 'Meant*, aud no excfltemont what
ever, except among some who are un-
fortjunatHoy, directly concarned. F\>r
ycAum the ending which ha* come has
been, expected. The Register ha« re
peatedly said that ft would come lo
this. The particular company lias been
grossly mismanaged. No company bo
mnnagdd could be expected to succeed.
Tlie officers *wlio resigned at various

had hare in Ds Moines itnstances of

names for a Idutde favored stock. Ko
bond Investment concerns swindles on
their very face. No •man should allow
the use of his name in connection with
any financial concern that auka for -the
savings of others unless he 4a wholly
•persuaded that such concern Is safe.
Tho principal of the building and loan
associations is safe; all that is necessary
in conservative management and compe
tent, honest nveft os managers. The Reg
ister a year ago spent much time and
space in promoting the passage of a
law regulating theso companies.' Those
efforts were opposed by a few Inside
companies, uniting with the outside swin
dlers, /Which have <been • robbing the
people of lowa. The officers of the com
pany which has been forced to the wall
were among those who opposed the en
actment of a law requiring state exami
nations, as banks nre now examined.
They opposed such a law for obvious rea
sons. We think that when the next leg
islature meets tho lawmakers will be
more disposed to heed, the public demand
than the machinations and money of
lobbyists, who defeated all such legisla
tion by cross purposes and divisions and
disagreements.
*A Burlington, la., despatch to tho State
Register says:
The Des Moines Union Building and
Savings Company; wreckers, havo caught
Burlington people for about $100,000. It
is said tho actual cost of this community
of Mr. J. W. Muffly’s brief sojourn as the
original agent of the concern will never
bo known. Its plan was attractive and
it attracted many level headed men to Its
support. Some of the Burlington subscri
bers can ill afford to stand tho loss.

That we are selling our Instru
ments hero cheaper than you can
buy them In New York, and we
