tire assets of the banks. These as
sets, including the double liability
of the shareholders, amounted at
the end of February last year, to
$1,009, 612, 23S and ample security
for the $62,434,S93 OF. bank notes
in circulation at that time.
National banks in the United
States have no incentive to increase
their note circulation. On the con-
tracy, in times like the present, they
hold tightly to their notes, gripping
all the funds they can and accentu-
ating the "stringency of cash." Ca
madam banks have a direct incentive
for keeping up an active circulation
of their notes. in addition to the
interest they earn from the 1oans
they make, they have also the per
cent derived from the government
for cne-twentieth part of the notes
they have in circulation. Through
their branches they are in closest
touch with steady flow of money
! through all the channels of COM
merce, industry and agriculture.
When crops have to be moved the
banks do not take cash out of their
ordinary business, they do not, in
other words, call in loans, but they
issue notes and thereby increase the
volume of money in circulation pro-
portionately to the demand for 1t.
On the security behind these notes,
on the management of the branches
of the chartered banks, on bank in
spection and cash reserves, on "elas-
ITCHY of currency" and other por-
tions of the general subject much
might be written, but for some rea-
son in our own country acquaintance
with the matter is slender in spite
of the fact that the Canadian system
seems to give to the Dominion those
verv qualities of elasticity and auto
matte adjustment. combined with Sc
curity, which the system, or no sys,

atchee-Approximately $780,
600 has been distributed among the
farmers during the past three days
by the three grain companies which
have resumed grain buying. The
farmers are not satisfied with the
prices being quoted as only 81 cents
is being offered for blue stem and
many are refusing to sell at these
prices. Grain dealers, however, pre-
dict better market within short
time and believe normal grain condi-

BANKING SYSTEM OF CANADA
How Our Neighbors to the North
Administer Her Finances

We have never heard any one deny.
that Canada has more stable, scien-
tific banking system, and a more
scientific, elastic and automatic cur
rency system than the United States.
Canada fortunately avoids periodi-
cal panics such as every one in this
country is familiar with, and mon
ey stringency," either local or gen
eral, is unknown within her bor-
ders.
IN the United States national
bank may begin business on capt.
tai as low as $4,000, the amount
being determined by the population
of the town or city in which the
bank establishes itself Only one
half of this capital need be paid up
in cash. The government is content
with a sworn statement that the
half has been paid in. Only one,
fourth of the capital need be invest
ed in government bonds. And no
national bank is permitted to estab-
fish branch.
Compare with this the Canadian
method. In Canada a bank is char
tered by the dominion government.
The bank must have capital of at
least 100000 Before the charter
can be issued the bank must deposit
with the government one-half it's
capital, $250,000 at least This must
be deposited in gold. Each bank
must have at least five directors. No
limit is placed upon the number of
shareholders. Canada has "a banks.
They are owned by $4,000 share
holders, an average of 765 for each
bank These banks have many
branches, as many as are justified by
the demands of business. The sys-
tenn of branches equalizes the inter-
est rates throughout the country. In
branches of Eastern banks. The
Vancouver merchant pays no more
for money than if he were in Mon
trePl, Toronto or Halifax, where the
banks have their head offices.
Each shareholder in Canadian
bank is liable for double the face
value of his shares. Thus a bank
capitalized at 100000 has the back.
ing of 81, 100000. Each bank is per.
mitted to issue to the amount of its
actual paid-up capitalization. The
gold deposited with the goernment Is
J returned by the government wheT
the bank is ready to do business
That is to say, the $250,000 depos
its is returned minus per cent o.
J the capitalization. This per CEN
is held as redemption fund which
would be drawn upon to meet the
liabilities of any bank which NIGH
} fail, Thus all the banks contribute
to the redemption fund for the gen
eral safety, doing officialiy and b!
law what certain eminent financieri
. in New York were called upon to dc
two or three weeks ago. This re
demption fund meanwhile earns in
terest, the goernment paying pei
J cent for it. All the banks are in
this way responsible for one an
others circulation. Then, again, the
note issues are first liens on the en-

Walla Walla-A new jute mill
with double the capacity of the pres
ent plant will be installed at the
state penitentiary during the next
three months. The machinery for
the new plant has been ordered and
it is expected the greater percent of
the grain bags for eastern Washing
ton will be supplied from the state
plant. The present plant has a ca
pacity of about 5000 sacks day
and gives employment to 275 men.
The state will make improvements
to the extent of about 100000
which sum was appropriated at the
last session of the legislature.
Observation-Disclosures are be-
ing made by Corbett brothers to han
die bulk grain from the thresher
machine into the cars and 1t is ex-
pected within a few years this plan
of handling the crops will eliminate
the annual sack bill which has be-
come burden to the farmers of the
Inland Empire. The grain will be
received in bulk and stored in bins
from which it will be elevated into
the cars by the agency of gasoline

This Morning

ton was sprung in the public lands
convention today by the making of
eharges by both the administration and
the anti administration forces that the
convention was being packed The
antis charged that a number of men
who were not properly accredited del
egates had been given seats. An order
was made to issue new cards of ad-
mission and to see that only genuine
delegates received them. When the
committee on credentials reported 1t
was found that 4e6 delegates were ac-
credited TO Colorado. 145 TO Wyoming
and scarcely 100 to the remaining
states. Colorado's representation was
later cut to ss6, it being stated that
The first figures were erroneous. 1t
developed that all of Colorado'S ac-
credited delegates, whether present or
not. had been counted, while in the
case Of the other states. only those
present We're 10 be allowed to vote.
The report was sent back to the
committee with instructions to bring
in its report according to the call Of
the convention. The committee will be
heard the first thing tomorrow morn
ing and II il Obeys its instructions ii

credentials have been sent to the con-
vention whether he is present or not.
F. " Mondell was the first speaker
at the afternoon session. There was a
demand for some OF the delegates at
the conclusion of his address that some
of those from the other side" be heard
and the chairman called upon General
Irving Hale Of Colorado
General Hale spoke of the great i'm
portance OF preserving the timber in
order 10 conserve the water for irriga-
tion. The forest held the snow, he said.
and in this way il became a natural
reservoir. Important as the forests
we're for the timber in them they were
much more necessary as reservoirs.

estry department was of the greatest
use to the west
Delegate Chris Ellerbe of Arizona
spoke in favor of forest reserves. Ell

and said that the forest reserves in his
neiEhborhood had been the salvation of
his business. It was the little man.

for protection. The big man could pro-
tect himself.
Judge D c. Beaman Of Colorado was
the last speaker Of the day. He told
Of a number Of abuses under the pres
ent regulations. Most of the casas he
cited were minor annoyances due to a
great extent TO red tape.
The convention agreed that all res
olutions must be ready at the opening
Of tomOrrow's session. They will at
once go TO the committee on resolu-
tions and viii be discussed later in the
