JOHN HARSEN RHOADES. New York, Dec. 7. 1910. \- ui.. t'nat the »ci tiom nexi ; " order, 1H of the ohi banking law and : \u25a0 ot Vm new la w read: Per centum of surplus— Ho* determined. In determining the per centum of surplus held by any savings bank its interest pay- ing stocks and bonds shall not be e*timatfd above their par value or above their mar- ket value If below par. This section merely prescribes this method for estimating surplus in order to ascertain Whether a savings bank has a surplus which equals or exceeds the maximum al- lowed by law. It would have been less ambiguous if this section had read: "Pel centum of maximum surplus. How deter- mined," etc. There is no other provision in til stat- utes in regard to a surplus, except that by section 153 of the present law or section 123 of the old law the trustees are per- mitted to reserve such a surplus as they may deem expedient, not exceeding the legal limit. For all other purposes the condition of a savings bank including the amount of its surplus would be determined from the report of that bank to the Super- intendent of Bank -, made as provided in section 21 of the present law or seel 20 of the old law. As the old law provided that this report should contain the cost. par value and estimated market value of all stock investments the condition of the bank was required to be .shown upon a basis el market values. Under the present law this requirement has been changed and the condition of the bank Is now required to be shown upon the basis of amortized values. Thus the old law requiring a re- port based upon market values was abro- gated by the present law, -which requires the report to be based upon amortization values. Fortunately a superintendent under tlie peneral banking law of the state has the rigrht to demand a report based upon mar- ket values. ~S\r Cheney has availed him- self of this right, ns did even Sir. I lark Williams before him. Colonel Sprague has evidently confused that section of the law referring to the specific method by which the surplus must be computed for the purpose of determin- ing whether the maximum has been reached with that section which pre- scribes how the condition of the bank shall bo determined at semi-annual periods. If the condition of a savings bank is based upon market values, the surplus if any is necessarily involved in and deduced from that condition, and accordingly is neces- sarily based upon market values. For the purpose of determining Income the new amortization law is excellent; for the purpose of determining solvency it is preposterous. QUOTES SAVINGS BANK LAW John Harsen Rhoades Replies to Col. Charles E. Sprague. To the Editor of The Tribune. ; Sir: In reply to the letter of Colonel | Charles E. Sprague, president of the Union Dime Savin?? Institution, entitled "Savinsrs Bank Surplus," dated December 5, I appeal "from Colonel Sprairue's statement of the law to the law itself. • Section 320 of the old banfeinK law, as amended by Chapter 40S of the Laws of IPOT, provided that savings banks should make reports to the Superintendent of Banks, stating among other things^ The cost, par value and estimated mar ket value of all stock investments^ desig- nating each particular kind of stock. Section 21 of the present banking law. which is the re-enactment of Chapter 1-- of the Laws of 1308, provides that savings banks shall report to the Superintendent of Banks, stating among other thine-: The original cost date ofparcfaaae. date of maturity, stated rate of interest, par value and estimated investment va^? I tl^! stock or bond investments. dePißnat.n t , each particular kind of stock or bond- - \u25a0 . \u25a0 The estimate of invcstmein valuou le by and bond investments shall be J™? 9 *£ each savings bank in the manner pre scribed by the Superintendent of Ban provided no stock or bond shall he \u25a0\u25a0 **"- matod at a higher price or value than i *£ Investment value by amortization, as p.« vided in Section 133. Section 122 of the old banking law. which was Chapter «8» of the laws of OS, pro- vided that the trustees of every savings bank shall regulate the rate of interest not to exceed 5 per cent prr annum in sucn manner that depositors shall receive as nearly a- may be all the profit- of so. cor- poration after deducting necessary expenses and reserving such amounts as the trustees may deem expedient as a surplus fund for the coeurity of the depositors which, to the amount of 15 per cent of its deposit* the trustees may gradually accumulate or how to meet any contingency or lot-s "' its business from the depreciation in securities m- otherwise. This section Is now section 17,2 of the pres- ent! nankins- law, and was amended by chapter 124 at the laws of 19« so as to provide thai the trustees of every savings bank shall regulate the rate of interest not to exceed 5 per cent .per annum upon deposits in such manner that depositors \u25a0ball receive as nearly as may be all the profits of such corporation after deducting necessary expenses and providing in a manner approved by the Superintendent of Banks for tl*- amortization or gradual ex- Unction of premiums or discounts on all securities owned by such corporation. ?o as to bring them to par at maturity, and re- serving such amount as the trustees may deem expedient as h surplus fund for the security of the depositors, which to the amount of 15 por cent of its deposits, the trustees of any such corporation may grad- ually accumulate or hold to meet any con- tingencies or loss in its business from the depreciation of .securities or \u25a0--\u25a0-'- Both section 123 of the old law and section 153 of the present law provide that the trustees of any savings bank whose surplus amounts to 13 per cent of its depot at least once in three y*ars shall divide equi- tably the accumulation beyond such author- ized surplus as an extra dividend to de- positors in excess of the regular dividends authorized.

A STREET CLEANING HINT. To the Editor of the Tribune. Sir: The winter is upon us, but it has given plenty of time for preparation. Would that those . preparations included available crave] for the relief of slipping men and horses and skidding- automobiles. In London there are hundreds of half- moon shaped receptacles along the side- walks, and cone-shaped ones in the middle of. th« wider streets that are always ser- viceable In time of need. Why should New York not hay» them.? To-day from one window one has seen live horses . down. One horse screamed in dlstreiss— a dreadful thins to hear. Such a condition' of the "lire streets" adds a new peril. The motor danger is doubled. Cannot the snow cleaning, whether done by house holders or the city employes, also keep the gutters* clear?

An incident of more than superficial significance is reported from Essex County, The metropolitan county of New ! Jersey, in the final assent of the mv- ! nicipal government to the system of \ competitive bidding for the doing of all i work and the furnishing of all supplies amounting to more than $100 in value. | This reform has long been urged, but the Board of Freeholders has persisted in sticking to the old system under which awards _were made by favor. Perhaps it would have stuck to the old system to the end Of time had not the electors of the county last mouth voted to remodel the county government by [ reducing the board in numbers to the size of a mere commission. Eleventh hour repentance and conversion some- times occur under such chastening. How much the reform is needed is strongly suggested by a comparison of some of the county's expenses with corresponding expenses incut Ted else- where. The big hospital for the insane which the county maintains provides an example. Comparison of its. cost has been made with that of one of the state hospitals for the insane in New Jersey, with four in Ohio, with two in Indiana, with two in Pennsylvania, and with four in Sew York, and It shows it to bo the most expensive of them all. The per capita cost of food in Essex County is $97 57, and the average in all the others is §(>T» OS. the highest of them being only $73 03. The Essex County cost of light and fuel is Sol' ">•:. while the average elsewhere is only .sl7 IT. and the highest is $2472. The total cost per capita in Essex County is $l'7!m»<;, while the highest elsewhere Is $246 54 and the average is $li>«°. 7«. There is no ground for supposing the legitimate cost of supplies to be greater in Essex County, N. J.. than in Morris County, in the same state, or than in New York City. Neither Is there any convincing Indication, particularly in view of the recent scandals in its hss- pftal, that it takes better care of Its patients than do these other commu- nities. The noteworthy excesses of costs must, therefore, i-<- gravely sus- pected of being Illegitimate, or at any rate unnecessary and capable of abate- ment by an honest, economical' and businesslike administration. The ab- ; peace, hitherto, of competition in the awarding of contracts or iv the purchas- ing of supplies, may not have been the sole root of the evil, but there Ls reason to. believe that it was one of the prolific sources of profligacy an -^ tt3al th * '"" We suppose .that there are some who will rail at those nations for so doing. They will see in the British lines be- tween New York and CallltO what they regard ns traditional British enmity :::r:iin«t us. and in the Japanese lines between New York and Valparaiso a menace of the Yellow Peril: all of which will Ik? what emphatic rhetoricians call tomm.vrot. It is stupid and worse to suspect other nations for doing what v. c mijrht do and should do but are too indolent or unenterprising or short- sighted to do. and to impute sinister or ••vii purposes to those who are simply outstripping us In open and free com- petition. Our government is setting be- fore the world a monumental example of energy and efficiency- in the building of the canal. The nation will incur re- proach and loss if it is nor equally en- ergetic and efficient in utilizing the canal when it is finished. 77//; USE OF THE CAXAL. The opening of the Panama Canal to commerce is now not more than five, and perhaps not more than three, years away. and already, as is not only fitting but imperative, practical plans for its use as a highway of commerce are being made. It is not at all surprising, how- ever, to Bee that these are chiefly being made in other lands than ours. It should not be so. It is cur canal, built by us. own.-ii by us. controlled by us and de- Fended by us. in accordance with our consistent and approved policy of thirty year-. Yet our backwardness in ocean borne commerce, in sad contrast to the conditions of many years ago, when we led the world, affords to our more en- terprising rivals an opportunity to pre- pare for the major use of the great in- tjeroceanic link. For years Hie ships of several European nations have been far more numerous than ours at Colon, and they are now. in spito of the Increased American activity caused by the -work on the canal; and the outlook is that the opening of the canal will find a number of lines belonging to other na- tions ready and waiting to utilize it. while we ourselves may be in the same plight that this city was in at the open- Ing of the Manhattan Bridge— in pos- session of a splendid thoroughfare, but with ii" vehicles to traverse it. Whatever commerce goes through the canal between our own two coasts will. of course, have to be under our own flag, and it is to be hoped that it will be considerable, though we should feel morn reassured if preparations for such traffic on a large seal*', which cannot be made In a day. were perceptibly in progress. But however great that traf- fic may be, that i* not all that we want the canal for. We want it for com- merce with these great and growing republics on the west c^asr of South America, with which our relations should be intimate instead of remote, and which when tbe canal is open will be only one-third or one-fourth as far away as they now are. Yet it is pre- cisely that commerce which our rivals are preparing to appropriate. It has lone: been notorious that the bulk of commerce from New York and other American ports to Brazil- and Argentina goes under alien flags. Now Great Britain, Japan and orhcr nations are actively preparing to convey under their fings our* commerce between New York and Peru and Chili through the canal which we are building! The principle adopted by Mr. nines is the one that seems to have been uddpied by the railroad witnesses at the recent hearings; but when an attempt is mudc i" apply it not to one road but to all roads, subject, moreover, to the condition that rates must be uniform though conditions vary. £he difficulties appear at once no greater difficulties, however, it may be said, than confront The application of any other principle that has been suggested. It will be interesting to see if the Interstate Com- merce Commission can give any logical reason, for the conclusion it finally reaches. will admit to be reasonable enough as applied to any one road? It has not ruled in regard to the "lame ducks." In which is refused the credit that seems desirable as \u25a0 general principle, and it has not governed in the case of the most fortunate roads, which, have their credit swollen beyond the point hypothetically flxed as necessary. Thus, as regards his own road. Mr. Hines'-s figures are persuasive on their face. If there were only one road In the country the application of The test proposed by him would be simple. But the circumstances of no two roads are alike. One, we may say. is laboring "under a burden of debt which past mis- management heaped upon it. Another \u25a0was built unwisely in a territory that never fulfilled the promise its builders thought they saw in it. Another is in- efficiently managed. Another is advau- tageously placed where traffic is heavy and profitable, but its management is unpropressive. Another is as well situ- ated as the last mentioned, and has in addition the advantage of extraordi- narily efficient management. Other varieties will occur to mind readily enoiurh. Now, it may l>e that there are many roads so fortunate in location, in their previous financial history and in their present management that when the Interstate Commerce Commission sub- jects them to analysis their earnings will be found sufficient, according to the test which Mr. I lines proposes. The earnings of others certainly will not be sufficient. Hut the increase of rates must be uniform for all the roads con- cerned. Obviously, whatever increase is granted, should any be granted, it is likely to be. too much, according to that test, for the most prosperous roads and too little for the least prosperous. Under competition the situation of the most favored lines determined the rates, and the less fortunate ones had to get on as best they might. Are we going to change all that and let the rates for all roads be determined by the most unfortunate roads' need of a sur- plus and a credit that will make a market for their stock? Would that be for the best interest of the people as a whole? And If we lire not to be tender toward the "lame ducks," nor yet to let the situation of the most favored, siV in competition, be the determining factor, then shall the determining factor be the situation of the average road? If so, ifciat becomes of the test laid down bj Mr Hines, which every, one THE RAILROAD VIEW or RATES. Sir Walker TV Efines. chairman of the executive committee of the Atchi- sou. Tof^Kn & Santa Fe Railroad, dte- cus?es iv the*current "Outlook." uitn unusual clearness and force, from the point of view of the railroads, the que;~ tion now before the Interstate Com- merce Commission. Mr. Hines lays down the general principle that a railroad's net orjrnincs should be larue enough to en- able it to pay attractive dividends on \u25a0- stock and to devote a .surplus regu- larly to Improvements and betterments. We suppose every one will concede it to be in the public interest to have the credit of railroads sustained. Mr. Iline^ .seek? to show the Deed of increas- ing rates from the experience of his own road, which has. indeed, been able to devote a considerable surplus to im- provements, bur which, on the basis of lite figures for 1010. compared with those of ](*>'.'. appears to have a rapidly di- minishius surplus for such purposes. The A.tchison railroad, moreover, has the reputation of being managed with unusual efficiency, having employed successfully, at least in its repair shnj;s-. th** principles recommend**! by Mr. Urandeis's witnesses at the recent hear- ings. REGULATION AyI) THE JXTER- BOROUGH. With characteristic shortsightedness the InterlK>rough Rapid Transit Com- l»auy seems to l>e bent just now upon divine the public a demonstration of v. hat it may expect from "regulated monopoly." The strapbanging of which the Public Service Commission com- plains Is iwt straphangiujr in rush hours. That neither; the regulators nor the monopoly «-an cure at once. It is strap- hanirin:r hi the non-rush hour*, when it is possible to supply seat- simply by slightly incrcas-inc the train schedule, and the failure to supply Mats, with which »•\u25a0•"— one -- familiar -who travels la the subway in the non-rush hours either morninc: or afternoon, is in direct defiance of repeated orders from the Public Service Commission. Its obstinate refusal to furnish an adequate service in the less crowded hours of traffic i* characteristic of the Tnterlv«r<<u£rh company, which has al- \u25a0r-ays soucht to keep its BWrvice at the point where there will he "dividends in the straps." It is to be reckoned with \u25a0in considering: the company's proposal I for additional Betrays. We do bo! ! mean that prejudice against the com- pany ari«in=r from its persistent disre- t.ird of public opinion and its wron;r- Lend^d conception of Its duty in per- : forming 1 \u25a0 public service should blind | tlie city to the merits of its plan for additional subways. The question whether the city Is to have a single comprehensive subway system or com- peting systems should be decided \u25a0witb- 'mt undue bias. Bat nevertheless the character of the lmorborou:rh opera- tion -will inevitably be taken into con- sideration. Competition, with it? two systems, -will not give extensive connec- tions at a wncte fare. A monopoly means i!" escape from the Interbof- <»u:rh"s cheeseparing policy, except such as the Public Service Commission by I orders, fines and constant fichrinj: may l>o able to effect And the InterborougU wu] probably always 2° as far as it idares in violating the intent and perhaps ateo the letter of ;.i"; .i" eomniissjon's or- ders. The lav.- of compensation applies. For the convenience of a monopoly -with a UWllHllilii liwii i system the public would pay somewhat in losing the only really Hfective stimulus to a jrood s<>!-- Tice. Regulation in this regard is nn imperfect substitute for competition. It can accomplish many things, but it can- rot change the point of view of those \ v ii«» operate the present subway. They \u25a0wlil remain shortsijrlitpd and stetrnc- ; tivp to the end. as their remindinsr the (public of tboir habitual faults at this ;•!,\u25a0!(•. when they are seeking the favor of he city, sufficiently proves. vidod for vehicular, traffic between the two shores of the river.

THE TALK OF TEE PAY A day or two ago a ii v weekly newspa- per appeared in New York which, probably, is unique in Its object among American papers in Italian. It is "II 'itradino,"— "The Citizen"—a publication issued under, the auspices of the Italian-American Civic League for the purpose of stimulating the development of good citizenship among Italians. It is edited by Professor Alberto Ptcorini, a member of a noble Venetian family, who is well known in Italy, n>>t only as a journalist and an art critic, but for his authoritative work in Italian on the history and institutions of the United States. Professor Pecorini believes that, the intelligent artisan class of Italians, of which there are about 80,000 among the 500,000 Italians in this city, forms the best basis for the establishment of a high civic standard among his fellow countrymen. Itis said that the firFt paragraph Mark Twain wrote when he began his editorial duties with "The Virginia City Enterprise" was this: "A beautiful sunset made Stranger a poet, a mother's kiss made Benjamin West an artist, and $15 a week makes us a jour- Harper's. The passing of the once famous ocean flyer, the Deutschland. is a reminder that passenger liners grow obsolete even more speedily than ships of the fighting navy. Two hundred and fifty dollars to "ac- celerate" th« ministers as recarda rac- )ns' Men with funds for "ie£al pur- ymsF-" in relation to legislation are easy. The "noiseless soup spoon" as an ad- juvant to polite table manners should be accompanied with a knife which cannot be used for shovelling pie into the mouth and a fork which is incapable of use as a toothpick. It was doubtless a good thins to stop the practice of teaching Chicago school- boys to do fancy needlework, but it is an interesting circumstance that -while they were set at such work by a man It took a woman to relieve them of H. When Abdul Hamid was Sultan the German government was his very good friend, and the Relchsbank kept his fortune safe for him. Now lie is a member of the Down and Out Club, and the German Supremo Court decides that the bank must surrender his fortune to the new Turkish government. Political considerations do not. of coarse, enter into the court's decision, but !t will be agreeable to the government at Berlin thus to have its friendly relations with Abdul Harold's successor promoted by an act of justice. Massachusetts continue* to take the Foes campaign calmly. It is gratifying to learn from its an- nual report that the City Club has been restored to a sound financial condition and is prepared- to continue the useful work of a public character which has commanded general approval in the past. It was the hope of doing public service which called the club into es- istenee..and that purpose has never been subordinated in efforts to develop the social life of the organization. The rev- enue which a much larger membership would produce would enable the club to expand its intelligent activities and would lighten the excessive burdens which a few of its members have been unselfishly bearing. " Missionary work amonp clergymen" bids fair to take rank with "improving the breed." Mr. Shorrill. the American Minister to Arprontina, repeats an often uttered but important and ton much ignored truth when hf» says American ships runnins: to Artrpntina would greatly promote trade with that country. It is to be hoped that one of these days thr United States will -wake up to the realization of that fact and will show at least as murh enterprise as some of Its South Ameri- ran neighbors. •Going!

Whatever the outcome of the suits may bo. Gha incident serves as a reminder of the fact which we have already empha- sized, that railroad tunnels under the rivers are not all-sufficient means of tran- sit. Apart from the very considerable number of persons— passengers on the railroads and local travellers between %tm Jersey and New York — who would decidedly prefer boats U> tubes, there is a ianre, iui]x>rtaut and increasing traffic la vehicles which cannot possibly be ac- commodated at all by the existing tun- nels and -which is not likely ever to be accommodated by any conceivable tun- nels, and for ivhicb, therefore, other and adequate provision must be made. The question at once arises concern- ing the terms of the ferry franchise — whether the boats are to be opera is \u25a0\u25a0..••\u25a0\u25a0 extensions of the railroads, pri- marily for the convenience of passengers from the trains and only Incidentally and not at all necessarily for the accom- modation "f jrenenil traffic, or as a gen- eral means of conveyance for ali traffic •which usny present itself.

If the latter, however, it might |v» argued that the general public was not concerned with, the disposition of train passengers, but had a right to in- sist upon the maintenance . of a faiis- factory service for the other classes of \u2666raffle for. which the ferries were estab- lished.
