DEPOSIT GUARANTY AND POSTAL

NAflNUcs
Supporters of the democratic plan
of g~uarantying bank deposits are CIV
ing much attention to the story coming
from Oklahoma of the surprising in
crease in the deposits of a bank which
had surrendered its national charter
in order to take advantage of the de-
post guaranty plan under the state
law. A stakeholder, speaking of the
incident, is thus quoted:
About $4,000 came from the other three
banks. two of them nationals" he replied,

President-elect Taft draws a line be-
tween the duties and limitations or a
president-elect and a president. as far as
politics are concerned. n is a correct
view Of the case. A president-elect may
do many things in the way OF suggestion
or action which the president of the whole
country, and therefore nonpartisan, may
not do. One of Mr.. Taft's suggestions. 1t
is understood, is that the house commit
tee on rules be elected by the members OF
the house instead of appointed by the
speaker, and hat its membership consist
Of thirteen or fifteen, instead of five as
now. II is thought this plan would tend
to make the rules more liberal and less
arbitrary. 1t certainly would be a cur
taIlment Of the power Of the speaker.

two are demanding a complete revision
of the treaty and an entirely new
treaty giving a large share Of Balkan
advantages.
Turkey has indicated that she will
insist on a heavy compensation for the
loss of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ger
many and Austria ridicule the idea of
annexation being set aside. They de-
clare they viii not join in a conference

position that the treaty is not violated
