which is fctitional for the reason
stated above. Docs this not clear
ly show that it is only by the
connivance of the United States
Treasury department that they are
able to even make scmblance of
solvency? Now if in addition to this
the statement showed their relation
to trust companies, and helpful de-
posts made by them, even this posi-
ton, weak as it is, would be still
farther weakened in the analysis.
The gain in cash, amounting to So
5o7, 200, is made up of the increase Of
government deposits of $500, 800,
the difference between loans collect
ed and deposits paid of S., FOG, 200 in
creases in circulation of ST., 66I 700, and
the balance of $4,000 by indirect
hypothecation of securities for pur-
chase of specie.
That they arc whistling to keep up
their courage is shown by the state
ment of their mouth-piecc "The FL
narcier" as follows: The flow of
money from the interior usually in
full swing, at this period has not for
obvious reasons started in its usual
volume, but there are encouraging
signs that it will not be longer de-

the interior banks are only waiting
word from New York to the effect
that the currency requirements can
be met without further difficulty"

tinguishment, wherein have the mas
ses been benefited by this high-handed
role assumed by their servant? Has
it been to their profit that they should
be refused their own for which they
worked and by their economy, thrift
and abstemious ways have accumlat-
ed and placed in the hands of sup
posed trustees for safe keeping?
Has it been master stroke OF
benehcence that their occupation has
been taken away from them, and their
earning power reduced, or entirely
eliminated? Wherein have they been
enabled to clip off coupons of greater
requirement by the paralysis OF all
legitimate industries' That few
book makers and tape readers and
price shutters can have time to get
under cover and hide away their as
sets. or continue with all the activity
of greed besotted brains, to reap in
creased profit from the unfortunate
that this very action created?
Have the innocent, trusting, and
saving ones been protected, whose
protection should be and always has
been the foremost thought of the true
statesman? Take for example the
much heralded "heroic fight of an

ally got to a place that its own safety
alone caused a receivership author

ton by the inducement OF per cent

larger institution could increase its
balances in New York and secure the
cxorbitant rates of interest on loans
there paid by the stock gamblers,
while the stock raisers could not
get cash enough to move their
crops, at any rate, in the commune
ties from which these funds were
drawn. But only was this action TAX
IN when the correspondents, who fore
saw the results of their folly, pressed
the big leach and it was compelled
10 hypothocate and sell all its quick

In fact loaning the depositor his own
money, or rather little piece of it,
that the bank had borrowed at three
or four percent, and charging him
ten percent for it. Is it difficult to
figure the profits of business that
the government legalizes and which
its financial head protects by evad-
ing. or failing to operate the protec-
tive part of the law, even that is pre-
sumed to safeguard the innocent de-
postor and indirectly at least COM
pels him, willy or nilly, to furnish the
capital While this did not occur in
the present incumbent's term, it is
but a sample of what has occurred,
in grosser manner and this discus
sion is intended as far as possible to
be an impersonal one, and these
things must under the law be known
to him, for it is his business to know
them, and from the nature of the law
applicable to trustee position, ignor-
ance is not recognized. He does
know and is held responsible for
what he doesn't know, because it is
his business to know. If Under the
law a director or officer OF private
corporation cannot elude or evade or
escape his liability by not attending
meetings or overlooking the affairs,
and informing himself fully IS to their
status in his fiduciray capacity, what
is the responsibility of the one who
is in charge of the financial interests
OF the ninety millions of people in
this Republic? Must not the broad
est construction be put upon tie ex-
preston public policy
II so does that include all the PEG
rle on special few? The school
boy can answer. The deaf mute can
answer The illiterate can answer.
Surely the American citizen can and
will answer, and when he does it
will not be in the soft tones of the
harp, but in far reaching harmonious
melodies, in which the purveyors of
dishonesty, and corrupt methods will
not be permitted to voice discord
ant strain.
When ever a foundation is laid on
the uick-sands of dishonesty, ex-
cused on account OF expediency, any
superstructure erected thereon, is like
unto a house of blocks shattered or
destroyed by any wind that blows.

the interest of the humblest, least
competent citizen, must be as capab-
ly and fully secured, and more care
fully considered, than the stranger,
more presumptous or talented. The
sagcs of old determined all this, and
gave expression to it, in moral, ply
steal, spiritual, mechanical and all
other spheres. The weakest strand
in the rope governs its tensile
strength, so in governmental and pub
lie affairs, the power of nation CEN
tiers in the strength of its individuals,

in all forms of government, most
true is it in republic. No law that &C
cords superior privileges to one citi-
zen above another can be allowed to
burden the books, for it deteriotcs
the integrity of the Republic and
pavcs the way for its dissolution.
Bank Statement.
For the week ending Dec. est the
New York Clearinghouse banks pre-
sert the following statement:
Total deposits $I,o5o,4o4,ooo. Cash :
reserve $I33,I22,5oo or 22 percent in
stead OF rs percent, and this is re-
fcrred to as a more favorable condi-
ton, and as approaching the normal.
They collected on their loan account
$685., 100 as against $II,ooo,ooo, and
Paid depositors $7,37I,ooo as against
$S,ooo,ooo increased their circulation
$I,o6I,7oo as against $3,33o,ooo for
week ending Dec. 18th; with help OF
the increase in government deposits
of $1,000, 800 making the total gov
ernment deposits $7S,5o6, 200, which
increase was evidently made in legal
tender and specie as the former
shows gain of $2,I6o4oo and the lat
ter $4,337,Soo The difference in gain
in these two items being accomplished
by the increase in circulation and
net gain in collection of loans, over
amount paid depositors, which with
loss in, the deposit account reduced
the. reserve required by i$Is842,o7s,
enables the showing to, be made of a
net deficit of $3L75I,eoo or actual
cash reserve of $233Ia2,So as against
deposit account OF $I,o5o,4o4,ooo.
To arrive at a reasonably correct
understanding of the real status it is
necessary to eliminate the United
States deposit as this must be paid
in full if nothing else is paid, and in
advance Of complete liquidation. De-
duct therefore the United States de-
post of $7S,5o6, 200 from gross de.
posts of $I,o5o4o4,ooo and we here
have net deposits of $3.50, 800, IS

Soda Springs, Idaho, just where

stands, July 9th, 1883, and his
parents moved to Blackfoot when
he was two years old. He grew
up here, was educated in the
BIackfoot school, the Boise high
school and at the Beaverhead
County High School of Dillon,
Montana. In 1903 he took the
civil service examination and re-

OF the department OF Interior in
the division of lands and railroads.
During his stay IN Washington d.
G. he utilized his spare time get

he was appointed clerk in the land
office at Blackfoot, position he
