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 time* should have taken etapa 'to pro- tfcot UhasK» who, through confidence in them, had been induced to make invest ment* 'With the Union Building and Sav ings GOtmoem. Theno i« tconfflnuatfly such a misuse made otf (the name* of ‘prominent’’ men and of 'those who have some reputation dn tho community as fbuslnam men, •thait ithese plain words ore neccewary.

If he does not tfake this view of the matter, he i* robbing ithe poor people who may put the’l- m‘>ney to such a concern be cause of t'hfcMr must in him. We have had hare in Ds Moines itnstances of bank prealdenis *elWi»g the use of tiheir 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. ENTERTAINMENT »AT PRATTS- BURG.
