treasurer has subjected all It's receipts
and expenditures to the compulsory
obligation Of such a law.
But why with every hope Of sue

UPHELD BY GOOD LAWYERS.

In his speech OF acceptance Mr.
Taft, referring TO the suggestion that
trial by jury be required in all cases
Of indirect contempt, says: Never
In the history of the country has there
been such an insidious attack upon
the judicial system as the proposal
to interject jury trial between all
orders of the court made after full
hearing and the enforcement Of such
orders"
But the United States senate In
June, 1896 undertook to make just
such provision. Senator Plat OF
Connecticut was the only Republican
to speak against 1t. John Sherman OF
Ohio, William p. Allison of Iowa. Flu
gene Hale OF Maine, Joseph b. Iiawlcy
Of Connecticut. Justin s, Morrill, Of Yer
mont, Knute Nelson OF Minnesota and
FranciB T.. Warren of Wyoming were
among the Republican senators pre-
sent when this bin passed Prcsum
ably they voted for It. There was no
roll call At least they did not vote
against IL nor did they speak against
II.
In the senate at the time and yot

and each. as he came into the circle OF

FROM THE
MIR. BRYANS PAPER
MR.. TAFT AND GUARANTEED
DEPOSITS.

In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Taft puts himself squarely on record
as being opposed to guaranteed depo-
sits. He says: The Democratic plat
form recommends a tax upon national
banks and upon such state banks as
may come In, in the nature Of en-
forced insurance to raise Il guaranty
fund to pay the depositors Of any bank
which fails The proposal is wholly
lmpracticablc unless 1t is TO be &C.
companicd by a complete revolution
in our banking system, with n super.
vision so close AS practically to ere
ate a government bank. II the pro
posal were adopted exactly as the
Democratic platform suggests. It would
bring the whole banking system of the
country down in ruin"
Why seek to confuse the poOpl" on
n simple proposition? We are sup.
posed to have government supervision
of national banks now. Supervision
does not mean government bank; It
simply means that the national bank

What does guaranteed deposits
/ mean? It means that the savings OF
! the masses shall be secured so that
when men and women deposit their
! hard.earncd money in banking insti
tutions, they need not worry for fear
II will be lost through the reckless
ness and dishonesty of bank officials
The federal government demands OF
these banks security for the money II
deposits As a rule state government
and county governments and munici
pal governments make similar require
ments. But now that II Is proposed
that deposltors generally shall have
some such assurance for the safe
keeping OF their wealth, we are told
by the Republican candidate for thu
presidency that the adoption of suci
plan would bring the whole bank

1t is to save the banking business
and to save the peoples money tina
the plan OF guaranteed deposits Il
advocated by Democrats. II is stranG
that Mr. Taft and the big banker
for whom he speaks can not see tina
the guaranteed deposits system is at
solutey necessary for the prevention
Of panics, for the safe keeping Of tn
money of the masses and for the pre-
servation of the banking business Il

ENTHUSIASTIC" ENDORSEMENT.

In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Taft says: with respect to the cleo.
ton of senators by the people, per
sonaliy ! am inclined to favor II, but
Il is hardly party question"
What is It IL II is not party ques.
ton? It is n public question and a
very pressing one. The Democratic
party declared in favor of 1t. The Re
publican party is silent on It, And tho
best that the Republican candidate
convinced since the convention OF the
popularity OF the plank-can do, Is
to say personally, | am inclined to
favor IT," His remarks clearly indi-
cate that ne does not attach impor-
lance to the proposed reform

NOT FOR THE INCOME TAX.

Let no one be mlslcd on the theory
that Mr.. Taft has declared for the in.
come tax. The following Is from Mr..
Taft's speech OF acceptance: Il be-
Iieve that an income tax. when the
protective system OF customs and the
Internal revenue tax will not furnish
income enough for governmental
needs. can and should be devised"
In other words Mr.. Taft is for an
income tax conditionally. Whenever
the government can not secure enough
revenue through a system OF taxing
men according to what the eat and
wear. then he would be in favor of
taxing them according to their income.
