LOGICAL BANKING.


The idea of central reserve bank as ably
advocated by A. B. Stickney, of ST. Paul, is
rapidly gaining friends all over the country.
Prominent and prominent newspapers
have endorsed it's general features during the
last few days The logic of the situotion is
making itself felt and the realization of the
idea may not be as distant as it seemed, says
the St. Paul Dispatch
We have had the experience of five weeks
to show how badly the present American
system works in time of alarm, no matter how
baseless and unreasoning the scare may be.
It is case of every bank for itself and the re-
ceiver take the hindmost. They all hoard cur
rency. This situation now be talked OF
frankly and without fear, since the resumption
OF cash payments is near at hand. Fur
thermore, the banks practically cease discount
ing paper even for the most solvent and solid
concerns. If such condition were to be con-
it would ruin the country.
The logical course of the banks in such
crises, would be to continue discounting reli-
able paper, simply raising the interest rate
few notches and permit the currency to circu-
late freely. If the banks were so allied in in
terest those of Canada, England, Scotland
France, Germany and every other civilized
country, except the United States that course
would be and could be followed. They would
not be in scramble, each trying to get all the
cash it could from the public and from the rest
of the banks. But such concerted action in
this country is difficult in the extreme. Each
bank shrinks from putting out cash that will
probably go into other bank and stay
there. The only way out of the difficulty is
for currency to go to a permiunl, which draws
out the stocking heards and pulls gold from
abroad and eventually rights the situation in
an expensive and inconvenient way.
More and more Americans are beginning to
think that this country ought not to continue
it's unique and antique banking system which
occasions financial squalls such as occur no.
where else.
Our laws interfere with the logical growth
of the credit system in this country, which is
compelled to live and move and have it's being
in strait jacket, whose pattern was cut seven
ty years ago.
Yet such laws cannot forever prevent natural
development, although they may hinder and
impede it. The banks cooperate to a certain
extent, through the clearing houses, which cam
not carry ON their operations beyond the cities
where they are located 1t is claimed that one
great national bank in New York has made it.
self the center of chain of banks throughout
the country. Nobo ly has suggested any harm
that could come from that arrangement of M ut
ual support, and why should not the law recog-
nize and regulate it, instead of putting obstacles
in it's way?

JUDGE DID HIS DUTY.

Some months ago Judge Thos. w.
Harrison, in the Circuit Court of War
rem County, Va, created a sensation by
levying the heaviest penalties of the
State for violations of the prohibition
law. A number of parties were in
dicted by the grand jury for engaging in
the liquor traffic in Front Royal, which
is prohibition town. Some of the
parties were both prominent and veal
thy, and among those who received the
severest sentences were Byrd Fletcher
and Ewell Rose. One was fined some
thing over So, 600 while the other was
assessed a sum exceeding $1,000. Each
was given Jail sentence in addition.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court on the grounds that the penalty
was excessive and the decision handed
down is to the effect that the opinion
of Judge Harrison is upheld and the
money will have to be paid and the
sentences served. Page News.

THE MOTIVE POWER.

A great man is mighty ship,
We see it draw
Into the current from its slip
With silent awe.
And then we greet it with hip
And hurrah
1t lifts above the other craft
It's mammoth hulk.
A ferryboat looks like a raft
Beside its bulk;
And common ships all drop abaft
And seem to sulk.
A great man, like ship, should we
View from one side,
For on the other side Wen see
His wife abide;
And she his tug is apt to be
His real guide.

Idaho State Mine Inspector Makes In.
teresting Figures Public.

State Mine Inspector Robert N.
Bell has issued his second biennial re-
port on the mining industry of the
state. There were II fatal accidents
in the mines Of the state in 1906, as
compared with 0 in 1905. 10 in 1904
and 20 in 1908. Six of this years &C
cidents were from explosions, four
from falling ground, four from falling
down shoots and fillholes, and one
each from handling timber, tramway
and fall from staging.
In the very complete review of the
great mining section of the Occur
d'Alenes, it is shown that this district
last year produced SO per cent of the
lead, 81 per cent of the silver, SIS per
cent Of the copper, 95 per cent of the
zinc and IL per cent of the gold and
all the antimony of the state. The in
spector strongly urges the building of
a large smelter in the Occur d'Alenes,
which he says would make so much
money that it would be shame to
take 1t from the miners, and still re-
duce the cost of treatment so per cent.
The total dividends paid from the
Idaho mines, while not given as en-
tirely accurate because the full reports
for the year were not in by the time
the book was written, is given as ap.
proXimately $7,000,000.
