The greatest obstacle in eliciting anything
more than facts which might create suspi-
cion in the mind of the referee in court, but
ordinarily nothing more substantial, is large-
ly due to the difficulty of finding a start-
ing point from which to begin the exami-
nation. In other words, without books of
account in which are kept at least a fairly
accurate record of the bankrupt's business
transactions, including his ledger accounts
with his creditors as well as his debtors

most -of the small bankrupts are careful to
keep accounts with their debtors, but rarely
with their creditors), and with no inventory

burned. It seems, therefore, that a proper
amendment to the present bankruptcy act

doing business over a certain amount per
annum to keep at least the elementary books
of account, and providing that a failure so
to do would be a bar to a discharge, re-
