BANKRUPTCY LAW IS DISCUSSED (Concluded trom Page 1 ereditois, or any of them; or (2) transferred, vvhllij insolvent, any portion of his property to one or more of his creditors with intent to pre fer turli creditors over Ills other creditors! or (.1) en fiend or permitted while Insolvent, any credi tor to obtain a preference through, legal pro erodings, and not having at least Are dais be fore a silo or final disposition of any property nifected by such prcfeunce, vacated or discharged uch preference! or (4) made a general assign ment for the benefit of his crdltors, or, If a corporation, applied for or been put In charge of a receiver or trustee under tho laws of a state or territory or of the Cnlted States, on the ground of insolvency, or (5) admitted in writing his imhlllty to pay his debts and his willingness to be adjudged a bankrupt on that ground " Amendments Proposed. Your committee recommend as an amend mem to section three, two additional acts of bankruptcy to be added to the five already provided for, as follows: "Or (0) vthilo Insol vent risked his money or estate or any sub stantial part thereof, or diminished the se curity of his creditor bv (a) gambling or (h) speculating in anv securities or property out side of his ordinary bmlnoss or (c) so waste fully, recklessly or linprovldently managing his business uUairs as to do substantial injury to his creditors or imperil the claims of such credi tors. Or (7) It a corporation paid, while in solvent, extravagant salaries to its officers or cmploves." lie are well aware of the practical difficulties in tho way of accomplishing what we seek, But we believe that the adoption of this amendment would do something towards reme dying the evil which we have endeavored to set forth, ami would make the bankruptcy act a fairer piece of legislation. We believe it would tin something purhapa much towards the establishment of a more rational bxsis for commercial credi'e. We believe it would bene fit the creditor by giving him an additional remedy against a reckless debtor, and that It would benefit the hontst debtor by giving him a broader basis for the credit that he seeks and by taking away some of the elements of chanc which the creditor has to consider when the ap plication for credit is before him. No Eemedy for Creditors. The present "acts of bankruptcy" give the creditor no remedy whatever unless the debtor deliberately seeks to defraud his creditors or to prefer one creditor over another, or sutfers or permits suh a preference, or commits an overt act in the way of making an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or admits In writing his inability to pay his debts and is willirg to be adjudged a bankrupt on tint ground. There Is nothing in the present law or In the law as amended by the Hay bill that gives a creditor any remedy whatever against a re'ckles or Improvident debtor The debtor, instead of using bis money to piy bis debts, may gamble with it, may spcculat" with it, ma toe it wastefully or improvidently as he chofkses, and the creditor has no remedy except that when his debt becomes due he may tue upon it and collect It If be can. A nun may luve a thousind dollars In cat.li and owe eMits of a thousand dollars which he ought to piv with that cash; Instead, lie may go into a gambling house and bet It on the turn of a wheel, and the creditor has no rcmeely. He may go Into a worie than gunbling bouse on Wall sireet, or State street, or Chestnut street, nnd bet It on the turn of something more than a wheel, ami tho ciedltnr his no remedy. He may Indulge In wild rceklcsnesj in his buslnes venturer, or wild extravagance in his personal outlavb, nnd the creditor has no remedy. It is tho object of our proposed amendments to furnU'n the creditor with a remeely under out ! cireumstan'-rs. When a man is in debt be has no moral and we believe he should have no legal right to use the money or the proper ty with which olono he tan pay that debt, In viii h a way that the creditor takes all the chances In iho of failure, and the debtor reaps all the profit in case of ptictes. Difficulties. We are not at all unmindful of the difficulties In the way of enforcing such a provision In the statute as wo seek to have enacted. It nuy be that In many cue perhaps most eases, the creditor would not discover the wrong that was being done htm until It was too late to apply the remedy. The stable eloor might be locked onlv after tho horse was stolen. Hut the diffl t titty of enforcing a right Is no reason why It should be withheld The least that the legisla ture can do Is to put It in the power of the creditor to protect himself and leave it to his diligent t to apply the reined). Let the legis lature elo its pirt, and the creditor cannot then complain if by any want of diligence or alert ness he falls to do his. Hut there would be no gi eater Inherent difficulty in the way of enforc ing the provisions of the statute that we ad vocate against fraudulent convejances or many nthci statutes which arc liable to be evaded; uuj there are many cases no one knows how nianj vvheic the statute we propose might be a strom; and effective weapon in the hands of justice.
