Fate has been unkind to the old
Chicago man and woman who have
been lifted from poverty to riches by
the discovery of valuable stock certifi-
Gates. For years they have lived N
dire poverty, and now, when one is over
90 and the other almost 3d. they find
they are millionaires. They would have
been happier If they had been allowed
to die peacefully without making the
discovery. Fate sometimes acts like
practical joker.

DR.. Powers, the health officer, calls
attention to the fact that there are not
enough accessible dumping grounds in
Los Angeles. In consequence, the Of
ficials find it difficult to keep people
from making dumps in the city. On
account of defect in the state law it
is impossible to abate nuisance and
make the expense a lien on property.
1t is advisable the state should pass a
law making it as easily possible to
abate nuisances in Los Angeles as in
New York, which in its health depart
ment is the model city of the United
States.

MEMBERS in
HOT DEBATE
LARAMIE LITERARY CLUB OPEN
MEETING GIVEN OVER TO
JOINT DISCUSSION.
Sheridan Downey and F. e. Anderson
the Prireips! Speakers, Former
Opposing Proposition and Latter
Favorins-Prominent Democrat
Avowed Opponent Of Plan.
BY w. s. lnaham.

Id
The open meeting last night of the
Laramie Literary club, held at the
auditorium of the Carnegie library,
was productive of a most interesting
discussion, and the fairly large audi
ence of both ladies and gentlemen who
attended must have gone home feel
ing that both sides of the question at
issue, Government Guarantee of
Bank Depos.tes,' had been well
brought forward.
So far as the majority of the speak
ers spoke for the feeling of the audi
ence, the weight of argument was
certainly on the side of some sort
of guarantee by the federal power,
but Sheridan Downey certainly pre-
scented a most eloquent and logical,
If not a convincing, argument upon
the side Of the minority.
Anderson Quotes Republican.
F. q. Anderson, the speaker on the
affirmative side, read the plank in
the democratic platform upon which
the discussion is based. and stated
that practically the same plank had
been suggested, but rejected, as a
plank for the republican platform. He
showed that, before the question be-
came a political issue, many strong
republicans had come out openly in
favor of government guarantee, but
had subsidized since. In support of this
he read letters printed last Novem-
Der in the Laramie Republican, in
which Mr.. Edward Ivinson and the
pres dent of the First National bank
of Douglas, stated indisputably strong
arguments in favor of the guarantee,
and he also read an editorial, ascribed
to w. E. Chaplin, printed in the same
issue, in which 1t was stated that the
arguments presented in the letters
were impossible of contradiction. That
the private individual should have
the same protection as the govern
ment demands from the banks where
it deposits national funds, was insist
ed upon by MI. Anderson, and he IL
Illustrated the method and circulation
of bank notes and paper currency.
Short on Currency.
Sheridan Downey prefaced his re
marks by stating that w, E. Chaplin
is still of the same mind regarding
bank deposits as he was when lie
penned the editorial read to the audi
ence by Mr.. Anderson, but that in this
case he Is mistaken. The foundation
of the lack of confidence. which lies
It the bottom of all financial panics,
Is, said Mr.. Downey, the fact that
with thirteen billions of bank deposits
this nation has only three billions of
currency, and that any special demand
for currency is always likely to bring
about a panic; a state of things that
nothing but a change in u banking
system can remedy, and which can
not be helped at all by the guarantee
of deposits.
Favors Postai Savings.
In s1mming up a most eloquent ar
gufnent. Mr.. Downey stated that the
guarantee of deposits by the govern
IDent would be productive OF all sorts
n Wildcat banking; that the strong
, 1908-10-16

md conservative banks would be
called upon to pay the losses Of the
irresponsible and badly handled banks
and that the plan would not prevent
money stringency at times. In place
II the proposed guarantee, Mr.. Dow
ney advocated the postal savings bank
and a system by which the volume Of
currency can be increased when me-
cessary to meet unusual demands,
such as now exists in France and
Germany. That it Is impossible to
frame rigid banking laws which a
De applied with equal justice in New
York and Wyoming was another ar
gnment Of Mr.. Downey. Mr.. Ander-
son replied briefly to his opponent,
saying that the banks themselves
would become the best guardians of
the operations of other banks.
Lack Of Confidence.
When the question was thrown op-
an to general discussion by A. N.
Hazenkamp, chairman OF the meet
ing, Mr.. Crumrine was called upon,
md while not willing to speak, stated
that the opening of a national bank
is not as easy a thing az Mr.. Downey
'upposes. The government demands
that the banker shall be certified as
a mar of %undoubted good character
and recognized position. Mr.. Crum-
rine was of the opinion that the bot
tom of the whole thing is lack of
confidence, and that a government
guarantee would have a tendency to
remove this and thus obviate largely
the cause of depression and panic.
He stated that with sufficient conf
dence, the use Of currency could be
done away with altogether and that
banking will always remain a system
f bookkeeping.
Democrat Opposes Guaranty.
A lively and amusing tilt took place
etween Mr.. Crumrine and Mr.. N. f.
Corthell, the latter asking who is
going to guarantee the government
II case it guarantees bank deposits,
md also stating that in his opinion
he best manner to protect the poor
nan and his widow is for the gov
eminent to begin by protecting his
life insurance.
Both of these speakers took the
view that postal savings banks would
not prevent the mass of the currency
from getting into the hands of Wall
street, and that it would be unfair to
make the government a preferred
cred tor of the national banks, to the
hurt of the small depositor.
other Speakers.
Among the other speakers were
George Patterson, James Hardman,
E. N. Rogers, John Symons, c. E.
Black, Rev. Trout and Louis Tyvold,
and for the ladies', Mrs. Bethany, all
of whom were distinctly in favor of
a guarantee.
AS announced by Mr.. Tyvold, at the
open meeting two weeks hence of the
club, Dean Arnold Bode will talk upon
Socialism" especially in its relation
to the governments of New Zealand
and Australia.

NATTER OF TIRES IN

In purchasing a second hand a 1t
IS well to consider the matter OF tires
carefully, and to figure on substituting
larger tires If those used are under

tires one-half inch in section for each

passengers and supplies. For example.
a three and one-half inch tire should
not carry over 700 pounds maximum.
The tire makers have brought out two
