FOWLER ON BRYAN PLAN.
Chairman Of House Banking Com
mittee Discusses Guarantee Idea.

Representative Charles N Fowler, of New Jer-
sew chairman of the House Committee on Banking
and Currency. in discussing Mr.. Bryans scheme for
guaranteeing bank deposits said:
I doubt whether there is any one who is more
posterous and ridiculous scheme for guaranteeing
bank deposits than am. 1t is just as absurd as 1t
would be to pass law compelling all life insurance
companies TO insure all lives without any examina-
ton of those insured or law requiring fire nsur-
ance companies to insure all risks without exam
ination of the property.
Rejection and condemnation must necessarily
follow an understanding Of his scheme, which has
been put forward as a catcher and not because
he understood the economic principles and prac-
tices of banking Indeed, do not recall his appl1-
cation Of any economic principles during his long
public career that has been sound.
But Mr. Bryan's proposition is no more unten-
able and superficial than the twelve reasons
given by the American Bankers Association at Den
Yer. Until the bankers of the United States are au-
thorized and compelled to supervise themselves and
made responsible for themselves shall not Sc
cure the reforms that are essential the protection
of all bank credits, to the steady and perna-
manufacturer. the merchant and commerce gener-
ally against our annual spasms and periodic cata-
clysrns''
Representative Fowler believes that bank reserves
should be in gold the required amount of
should be maintained, the currency should be bank
notes redeemable N gold coin. and the savings ac-
counts and trust funds should be kept separate
from the commercial accounts.

the Republican National Committee. While he does

his election TO the Presidency would be the great

Civil War

resentative Leake yesterday, because I could not
make monkey out OF myself in following Bryan's
doctrines. l could not consistently run for Con-
gress on Bryans platform, after what had stood
for two years ago.
Most people forget that the choosing Of a Presi-
dent comes close to their affairs When
Presidential campaign becomes far removed from
the people. the individual forgets that the Ameri-
can people have confided their property. business
or work to a chief magistrate That man
either benefit injure the peoples work.
The only evidence have of Mr.. Bryan's con-
servatIsn is his choice Of issues He has found
statements with which no one will disagree. but
by such trick he cannot deceive the people The
question is not Shall the people rule? but the issue
in every Bryan campaign is Shall the people be
fooled?
Bryan and Taft between a political brainstorm
and conservative. level-headed and honest ad-
ministrator. think that the people Of New Jersey
are heartily in favor Of Taft The quiet, stayat-

Against Meters.

AS far as am personally concerned 1
am not opposed to water meters. but it
is my opinion that we can do nothing
that will injure the town more as a sum-
mer resort, than to install the meter
system. For the past five years there
has been an ever growing murmur of
dissatisfaction among the visitors, over
the expense of summer spent here,and
now if the news goes out that even the
water must be dealt out in sparing
quantities the majority of guests will
seek place where at least they may
enjoy water and air FREE.
Then again, if the town grows. as we
hope, We MUST have an increase in the
water supply in the near future, then
why go to the expense of meters only to
cast them aside two or three years
hence? Is we really have the prosperity
of the town at heart we should increase
the water supply at once.

The Flood.

With bridges swept away, the roads
almost swept away, trees uprooted,
houses damaged, this county las just
passed thro' one of the most disasterouS
floods in recent years.
The Flat Rock road bridge at the foot
of Main street is gone.
Many other bridges in different parts
Of the county are gone and the suffering
and Inconvenience is general.
The roads are in simply deplorable
condition and are almost impossible
most of them being hub desp in mud.
As usual, the Flat Rock road is one of
the worst, with Clear Creek and Edney-
vile roads as close seconds.
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1908-02-20
Paved Roads-

The present road law provides fund
of about $4,000 per year for roads and
bridges.
What benefits are being derived from
this large sum of of money?
Is there single iron bridge built, or
are there prospects of any?
Some of the bridges close to town are
dangerous, il is said.
AS to the roadside least said about
them the better. But they have been
so bad that they have made hundreds of
good roads converts.
It is said a macadamized road. four
inches deep depth Of Buncombe county
roads, and twelve feet wide, can DO
built for 81 900 q mile, with convicb
labor and q stone crusher.
A stone cursher costs %, 600 and can
be bought for $500 down.
If only four miles each year be built,
within a few years there would be miles
of pavement on each of the six roads
leading out of town.
This would be of vast advantage both
to merchants and to farmers, and would
be the very best investment possible of
the taxpayers money.
He would get direct benefit from his
taxes.
Now he gets so little it's hard to see it
at-all.
The average Henderson county man
does not kick on high taxes when he
feels the benefit derived from these
taxes.
Better one mile of macadam than 100
miles of mudholes!
