What difference it makes
when a community gets the spirit
Of progress, uplift, boost, go
ahead, or whatever term best
represents the idea. Lake City,
a place that is supposed to have
been dead and buried for twenty
five years, has recently come to
the conclusion that it is alive.
The towns papers, as is nearly
always the case, are leading the
new movement and the writer
can testify to an aroused interest
in Lake City and Hinsdale county
on account of the articles they
are publishing. We never saw
Lake City and had no desire to
see it until it's papers commenced
to boost. Now we would like to
go up there, catch fish and look
around little. We imagine the
preachment of the Lake City pa
pers is having the same effect on
others as the writer confesses it
has had on him, and our brother
editors can feel assured their
work is accomplishing the result
intended.
All this leads to the conclusion
that newspapers are mighty good
things for communities to have
and they ought to be supported
by every man pretending to be a
part of the business of a town.
The bankers, merchants and pro-
fessional men of Lake City might
talk about the glories of their
community until kingdom come,
but no one outside the town
would be the wiser. Newspa-
pers, however, have an audience
to interest every week and if
they boost the town they make
business and money for every
body in the town and consequent
ly should receive support from
all.
We presume, however, that
Lake City has some business and
professional men like Delta, that
are not represented in the home
papers-which constantly help
their business-for various rea-
sons, such as II don't believe it
pays" Il have plenty of busi-
ness already" 1t is not profess
sional," It costs money!" ETC.,
etc., etc. Down here these fel-
lows are not numerous, but they
really ought to be held up to
public gaze and the light of pub
licity turned on their hide bound
souls so that every body could
know who it is that profits by
the public spiritedness and liber-
ality of others.

The Paonia Booster has re-
published several news articles
from the INDEPENDENT without
giving credit. At first we thought
it was an oversight, but the same
kind of sight seems to be doing
business quite regular. Come

tesy" act, Mr.. Booster.

Iowa people living in Mesa

for mutual benefit and for the
purpose of holding an annual pic
mic. A similar organization in
Delta county would have a large
membership and result in better
acquaintance. Who will take the

The special attention of our read
Crs is called to the methodrQl Ameri-
cani2ing Hawaii proposed m the lat
est issue of The Friend. We confess
10 particular pleasure in perusing this
article because it tallies so closely in
spirit with what the b Il | c t II has
been constantly preaching. There
are schemes and methods for refor-
nation that will require generations
10 work out. Improvement of trans
portation and an increase of the pop
ulation which is n part of the tourist
movement are bound to augment the
desirable population Immediately and
exercise an immediate influence.
Transportation and tourists will do
wonders toward correcting conditions
in Hawaii while it is waiting for Con-
gress to amend the laws, and Tor the
children of the small farmers to grow.

SCHEME FOR ASSET CURRENCY.

Congressman Fowler, Chaicman OF
the House Committee on Bankers and
Currency, has a specific panaCea for
financial stringency and it was en-
Gorsed by the national bankers asso-
citation that held its annual meeting
not long since.
Whether the proposition is Fowl
cr's and endorsed by the bankers or
IS rightfully the bankers and endors-
cd by Fowler is immaterial. II will
come before the session of Con-
gress that meets next month with all
the prestige that may be given by
the combined bankers of the United
States. We say all. At the annual
meeting the proposal met with fierce
opposition from the bankers of the
West.
The plan contemplates the issu-
once by national banks of asset cur
rency notes. This provides that ma
tiOnal banks having surplus fund
equal to 20 per cent. of their capital
shall have authority to issue notes in
an amount equal to 40 per cent, of
their bond-seCured circulation sub
ject to tax of 1-2 per cent. per
annum on the amount outstanding; a
further amount of II per cent. of its
capital subject to per cent, tax.
The same reserve funds are to be car
ried against the asset notes as are
now required by law to be carried
against deposits. A guarantee fund
Of 8 per cent. is to be provided from
which to redeem the notes of any de-
posting banks and numerous re-
domptiOn stations are to be estab-
lished in cities conveniently located
in various parts Of the country. The
whole business is to be under the reg
ulation of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
The obvious purpose OF this scheme
Is to provide an elastic currency to
tide over periods of coin stringency,
san Francisco is now doing when its
banks issue clearinghouse certih-
Gates. These certificates, especially
the small denominations, amount to
asset currency guaranteed by the
good name and cash balances of tho
combined banks of the city.
At the meeting Of the bankers the
asset-currency plan was bitterly op.
posed by the Western banking con-
tingent, which has money to lend to
the banking centers like New York
They were charged with being
prompted purely by selfish motives
lecause, when money Is needed In
New York City, these country bank

We doubt that the pupil of any
school can suffer anything but good
return for himself and his fellow-cit-
liens, through practical experience in
self-goyernment and an acquaintance
with the ordinary machinery of city
government. We must not forget
that a very large proportion of our
children in the public schools grad
uate from the primary grade to the
school of life. A knowledge of gov e
eminent will do them good. and II
will be of as much Importance as the

The Royal School city government
has furnished some interesting sug-
gestions as to the possible future of
Hawaii's government. All Sam is the
mayor of the city and, as he was APP
pointed to serve while his fellow-citi-
2ens were learning the first steps in
"elf-government preparatory to eXer-
cising the franchise, it is supposed
that he is young man whose career
has shown him to have exceptional
qualifications for the position. Look
ing further down the list we find that
Z, majority of the Board of Supervi-
sOrs are of the same persuasion as
All Sam. The judge of the police
court is Master Nakamura. The Roy
al School does not include all the
children of the Territory, but this
list OF officers in one school goes tC
show that when one section of tho
country decides to SOW largely %
Oriental labor, II reaps Oriental chil
dren for citizens. BE II far fiOin al
paper to say that these ch 'lhrcl vii
not make good citizens. The pU1.!,
school vas turned out splendid re
suits with every other race and ma
tiOnality.

Il Is interesting To note that the
asset currency which the National
bankers Association endorsed Is
practically in force 'oday in the form
ot clearinghouse certificates. Any.

crs, flush with the returns from the
years crop in their section, can loan
their surplus at a high rate of inter-
est in wall Street.
The Western and country bankers
met this charge with the statement
that Wall Street was trying to force
"a measure to furnish cheap money
for fren2ied linanciers to be used for
speculative purposes. Congressman
Fowler, whose opinions on the finan-
clal situation are given in the cable
dispatches, was one of the first to
combat this idea, and urge that asset
currency represented an aid to Amer
lean trade and commerce.
It is in times like the present that
the people realize how inelastlc is
their system of currency. Whether
the funds of the Government shall be
used to aid the public is dependent
entirely on the within of the Secretary
of the Treasury. In this instance he
has been prompt in his response.
II may be that when the bill for
this asset currency is introduced in
Congress next month, as It will be,
the experience of San Francisco will
lie quoted as an evidence of what an
asset currency will do, though it have
not the stamp Of governmental law.
There is no doubt that currency
and banking will again take a lead.
