February Is on the subject of
The Guaranty of Bank Deposits
Some weeks ago, when the bank
ing situation was most acute, the
eloquent Democratic leader sug-
gested as a remedy for withdraw
ais for boarding purposes the
enactment of laws by state and
nation providing for the prompt
payment of depositors of default
ing banks from fund created by
tax upon the banks based upon
deposits, the federal government
looking after the national banks
and the states attending to other
financial institutions. The prop.
osition touched popular chord
and many able bankers gave it
their sincere approval, Oklahoma,
the baby state of the Union, has
already given her people this need
ed protection, and the citizens of
adjoining states, bankers included,
are clamoring for similar legisla-
tion. Owing TO the financial
stringency through which the
country is now passing, unusual
interest attaches to the forth-com-
irg address, an interest aeeentu-
ated by the pendency of Represen-
tatiye Ackley's bill in the Ohio
legislature. This bill is modelled

trouble"
A measure proposed by another
Democrat, M. e. Ingalls,, of Gin
cinnati, covering a we'll recognized
weak spot in our financial system,
the lnck of expansion of the cur
rency in times of stress, also re-
ceiyes the approval of leading
flnancier, of the nation. The plan
as outlined in his Jackson day
speech at Lancaster is as follows (:
"Leaye our bond secured cur
rency for the present alone and If
there is need of more money cur
reney on account of panic or for
the movement of crops, let US pro-
vide that II can be issued by

in an district apply to the clear
ing-house committee for more cur
rency. If they can put up salts
factory collateral to the comptrol-
ler of the currency, and if he APP
proves then issue the currency to
such bank The government
should provide for this by engrav-
ing plenty of currency, so that 1t
would all be uniform and would
need only the signature of the
bank of issue"
Speaking OF the Ingalls, plan in
an interview q prominent banker
Of Chicago says;
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1908-01-30

"The new currency plan enun-
ciated by M. Il. Ingalls, is little
short of an inspiration, and il
written into the platform of the
Democratic party would enable
them to carry some of the western
states which have heretofore been
giving Republican Majorities. The
Ipgalls emergency currency plan
is worthy of the widest publicity

The Stars on the Flag.

1t may be interesting to know that
a Maine man suggested the new ar
rangement for the stars In the United
States flag which will become effective
On July 4. With the admission OF Okla.
homa 1t became necessary to place .
new star In the blue field OF the dag.
This made necessary rearrangement
OF the stars. Charles A. Tallman. u.
;. ~. retired. OF Richmond. made q
l6-inch flag in which he made the ar.
rangement and forwarded IL to the
state department as a suggestion. The
state department referred the matter
TO the navy department. for that de-
partment has charge OF the flag. A
few days later Mr.. Tallman received q
etter from the department informing
him that his arrangement was the one
which the department had had under
consideration. Since then it has been
oniciaily announced as the arrange
ment OF the stars.-Kennebec Journal.
