master general. advocated the estab-
lishment of postal savings banks.
Many other views were expressed and
the only definite action raken was the
adoption of a resolution placing the
federation on record as favoring some
safe legislation giving greater elasti-
city to the currency of the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt had no more definite
suggestion than this one in his mes
sage. Every man in congress and out
side recognizes the necessity that
means should be taken to provide an
elastric currency. But everybody in
and out of congress has a different
idea as to how it ought to be accom-
plished.
And the question naturally arises
will the national legislators ever be
able to agree on some plan which will
be equitable to all interests and which
will provide proper remedies?
Everyone hopes that they will but
few really look forward to a realiza-
ton of these hopes. For the people,
generally, are getting well acquainted
with the congressional custom of fall
ure to take adequate action on affairs
of importance because of disagree
ment over methods.

ROYCES PLAN GOOD.

| Excellent and most opportuns are the
suggestions OF John @. Royce, the state
bank commissioner, to the depositors
In the banks Of the state who are ex-
perfencing panicky feelings and have
desire to hoard their surplus where
| Withal He tells them that If a deposit
| tor feels he must get his money out of
the bank he should go to his banker
ana ask for the amount of the deposit
In bonds or other gilt edged securities
These he can hoard to his hearts con-
tent and at the same time be getting
interest on his money instead Of letting
1T lie idle.
1t is likely that Mr.. Royce has re-
ceived assurances from bankers in the
state that they would be glad to satisfy
In this way the depositors who have
the fever to hoard. II he has not, his
suggestions are equally pertinent to the
bankers for they could have no good
reason for not doing this very thing
OF course, they would lose the interest
which these securities bear but they
would be willing undoubtedly to stand
this loss, trif1ing to them as it would
be, In lieu Of being permitted to keep
on hand the cash of their depositors in
order that the business of banking
might be carried on without any SER
ious hindrance through lack of ready
money.
The time is now fast approaching
when the banks in Kansas will be
ready to take or the lid" When 1t is
taken Off. when the banks cease their
emergency practice Of limiting the
Withdrawals to stated minimum sums,
that will be just the time for the de-
positors to show their continued conf
dence in the banks and bankers. They
should not rush upon the banks and
withdraw the greater portion, or all,
Of their deposits for the purpose of
boarding them at home or In safe de- |
posit vaults. When the lid" is taken |
off the banks will have long since
passed the danger line and a depositor's |
money will be just as secure in their |
safes and tills as it ever was.
If, however, the depositors descend in |
hordes on the banks as soon as the |
lid Is removed, these actions on their |
part will tend to needlessly cripple |
many of the institutions. There will be |
some depositors who will be inclined to |
do this. But 1t is to be hoped that their |
number is not many.
Those who have this inclination, those |
who are panicky, those who have the
foolish desire to hoard their tangible
wealth. will do well to most seriously
consider the suggestions of Mr.. Royce.
By adopting them the scary depositors |
will be able to crafty their desires to
hoard without unnecessarily depicting
the funds in the banks and withdraw
ing much needed money from circula-
ton
