from him as to the number of deputies
he is willing to appoint TO protect the
properties OF the operators and the

the necessary protection that the Op-

forming Of a patrol guard Cf their own

hands of the civil authorities.
They ask that the county. appoint
enough deputies to afford like am

conditions as a state militia.

THE TELEGRAMS
main

Following are the telegrams that
We're sent from the President to the
Govrnor Of Nevada setting forth his
reasons for recalling the troops from
Goldfeld:
81 sent troops at your request be-
cause from the tenor of your telegram
and from the presentations made
me by the two Senators from Nevada
and the members Of the Lower House
Of Congress from Nevada, It appeared
that an insuFrection was imminent
against which the State authorities
would be poweriess The troops have
now been in GoIdfieid 10 days and no
insurrection has occurred. and SEEM
inglyincly no circumstances exist to
justify your calling on me- for action
by the troops under the provision of
the constitution The troops were
sent to GoIdfield to be ready to meet
grave emergency which seemed
likely to arise and not 20 provide a
substitute for the exercise by the
State of its public functions. do not
feel at liberty to leave them indefi
njteIy under such circumstances that
they will in effect be performing on
the part of the United States those
ordinary duties of maintaining public
order in the State CT Nevada which
rests upon the government OF the
State. As the Legislature of Nevada
has not been convened, | am bound to
assume that the powers already vest
ed in the police officers of the State
are adequate, and that if they choose
to. they can maintain order them
selves Under these circumstances.
unless there be forthwith further
cause shown justfying the troops at
GodfeId. | shall direct that they re-
turn to their former stations.

mend that sufficient money be appro-
priated by the several school boards
for an adequate equipment OF labora-

grading pupils is necessarily burden

create false notions in the minds Of

The teachers institute adjourned
yesterday afternoon after p busy ses'
sion lasting over the entire week,
Before adjourning the following rcsc-
luton was adopted relative to the
meeting u this city:
Resolutions adopted by the teach
era OF the Fourth District institute
held at Carson City. Nevada, Decem-
Der go. 1907:
At this time Of rapid educational
progress in Nevada. It is fitting that
the teachers here assembled declare
their attitude touching important edu-
cational policies. and to that end your
committee submits the following res
olutions for consideration:
We hereby express our apprecia-
tion Of the interest in education taken
by the last LEGISLATURE and congratu-
late the State upon the important
progressive legislation enacted. The
system Of supervision adopted for the
State is we'll adapted to its needs and
will in time confer great lenefits up-
on the schools.
We wish to emphasize the fact OF
the need for better professional prep
aration on the part Of tachers, in or
der that our schools may attain TO the
highest standard OF excellence, and to
this end We favor the use Of apDro-
pirate means. We pledge cur support
10 the State Board Of Education and to
the District superintendent in their
efforts to increase the efficiency Of
our schools by requiring hIgher edu-
cational and professional attainmen.s
on the part Of teachers. If the schools
are to attract into their service the
most capable young men and women,
in sufficient numbers, and retain them
when they have become highly eff
cient. the salaries must be reasonable.
With the cost OF living as high as it
: now, the salaries are too small.
The demand is for better service and
for better service there must be bet
ter pay.
AS a means to more efficient work
or the part of teachers we advocate
the systametic reading of the liter
lture of their profession and the at
tendance upon Institutes and summer
schools.
I'VE recommend that there be ap-
pointed a committee of the State
Teachers Association to confer among
themselves and with the teachers OF
he State concerning the feasibility OF
establishing an educational journal
snd to report at the next meeting OF
the State Association.

The unions. on the other hand. are

We're sent from the President to the

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-04-01
investigate the Banks.

President Benjamin l.. Winchcll of
the Rock Island railroad system in
comparing the prosperity of the rail
roads of the country with other insti-
tutions. points to the big banking in
stitutiUns of the country. which are
earning in some instances as high as
60 per cent, as worth regulation. He is
right. There is not the shadow of a
doubt that these big financial institu-
tiOns which are made repositories of
government funds are receiving COnCeS-
SiOns they should never have and that
these concessions are of immense val
lie to them. There is no apparent rea-
son why the government should not re
Iceiye interest on its deposits just as a
state or municipality or even an indi-
yidual does.
Why should $500. 900 of customs
revenues be deposited in the banks
without interest being paid? There are
also immense sums Of surplus funds of
the government on deposit continually
which do not draw dollar of interest
in return. Then there is the bank cur
rency secured by government bonds
which does not give any return to the
government. There may be a reason
for this, but the average citizen fails to
understand what it is. We know that
these banks are paying big dividends
| in some instances bigger than the
| Standard Oil pays We hear occasion
ally of surplus earnings being issued il
the form of stock dividends. but no one
seems to think that this is unsecmly
We also know that these banks never
! fail to take advantage of the high loar
rates in doing out these government
| funds.
The Standard Oil. the steel trust anC
other industries and the railroads are
the subjects of severe criticism anC
searching investigations. Why MOI
look into the 60 per cent dividends O
the big banks?
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-04-01

Some years ago the Massachusetts
railroad commission advanced the build
ing or purchase and operation by the
government of a few interstate lines of
railroad TO act as regulator of rates
by force of competition. Governor
Hoke Smith of Georgia is now prOpos-
ing the same plan The United States
lost a very favorable opportunity of
inaugurating such competition when 1t
let so its hold on the Union Pacific
railroad and allowed the Hartman and
Standard Oil crowd 10 get it at their
own price. with the connivauce of the
republican politicians.
