HON. CHAMP CLARK
TALKS ON BANKING.
Says the Policy Of the Government is
Unwise il Not Criminal.

Hon. Champ Clark addressed
the Missouri Bankers Association
in st, Louis last week, and among
other things said:
The banks should be taken out
of Government affairs aud the
Government should keep out of the
banking business, There is no
reason why the Secretary of the
Treasury should rush 10 the aid
of Wall street gamblers every time
their own greed brings them into
sore straits.
The Secretary might as well
20 To the aid of faro banks when
they arc hit hard. This fnvoritlsm
to New York Is unwiSr, if, indeed,
it is not criminal. The fact that
the Government keeps vast sums
on deposit in II few pet banks in
New York and the readiness with
, which the Secretary goes to their
MD III critical moments possibly
accounts for the fact that so many
Treasury officials quit the Gov
ernment service to take positions
in big New York banks Mt salaries
that Uncle Sam cannot pay. 1t
seems to be a game OF you tickle
me and I'll tickle you.
These positions are, you may
have noticed. always given ont by
the banks which are the chief ben
eliclaries of the Government depOs-
its aud the Treasury Department
favOrltlsm,
There is neither wisdom nor
justice in the Government keeping
on deposit in IL few pet New York
banks vast sums of money. The
profit, as ! understand it, arising
from banking is doing business on
other peoples money but the Gov.
crnmcnt is assisting a few banks
to get rich quick Congress should
pass n bill that the Government
should deposit its money IN those
banks of nndOuhtrd S0lvcncy which
will pny the greatest percent on
daily balances and furnish first
class and abundant security for
repaying the same on demand
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
has such II bill pending, and 1t
should pass.
Mr. Clnrk also declared that the
banks should help the people aud
not discourage them when times
