WORDS or CHEER
FROM RIDGELEY
COMPTROLLER EXPECTS PROMPT
RECOVERY FROM THE FiNAN-
cIAL TROUBLES.
BANKS STOOD THE STRAIN WELL
Reserves in The Cities Are Al
most Equal to the Re
qulrements.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31,-W. B.
Ridgeley, Comptroller Of the Currency,
today gave out statement dealing
largely with financial conditions dur
ing 1907. in which he says:
THE conditions which made this
crisis possible are the accumulated
composite results of many years OF
business. The whole world has been
over-trading and expanding, and mo-
where has II been more rampant than
in the United States. The reaction
was inevitable, and though 1t might
not have taken the form OF bank
panic had we been better prepared
With such a banking and currency sys-
tenn as We should have, the time has
come when some or all must pay for
our overindulgence.
1T is the duty of the banks" says
the Comptroller, ito restore business
to normal conditions by resuming
their functions as promptly and as full
ly as possible Fortunately. there -
not only the strongest desire and
disposition on the part of the banks
to do this. but conditions are such
as to make it comparatively easy and
to lead us to expect much more
prompt recovery than has followed
other similar financial crisis
"The reports to the Comptroller
show that the reserves in the central
reserve cities we're but 22.2 per cent
against the legal requirements of 20
per cent The forty reserve cities
show. 24.72 per cent of legal reserve.
or almost the full legal minimum,
while their total cash means are
1855 per cent Of their deposits.

LAND POLICIES OF REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS,

The Democrats of the Territory
point to the land laws as the leading
issue of the campaign. They charge
that the people are not getting the
land that should be given them. as
speedily as might be done under a
change of the law.
Our Democratic friends propose to
rectify this condition by following
out their platform declaration that
the Federal land laws be extended to
the Territory.
This, they claim, will do the work
in a hurry.
In other words. the Democrats de-
clare that no Improvement can be
made until Hawaiis land law is rad
ically changed.
We hope the voters have stopped
to consider how long It will take to
bring about this proposed Democratic
change-assuming that It would be
advisable. If so, they must
know that this PROMISE OF speedy
reform and prompt turning over OF
the public lands to the people is a
HOLLOW SHAM. 1t sounds well;
that's all.
In the first place, the United States
Congress would not under any cir
cumstanccs undertake to extend the
Federal land laws to this Territory
without thorough investigation oil
the whole situation. This would re
quire SPECIAL INVESTIG ATINC
COMMISSION, and involve a LENG
! THY DISCUSSION in the committees
of the Senate and House as well a,
on the floor of the National Legis
lature.
Such program cannot be carried
to conclusion in the coming Congress
sional short session. 1t could not b,

gress TO he called to consider the tar
If. 1t could not be fully started
until the session which meets a yea,
