The Upper Berth.

Senator LaFol1ette oficiated as sponsor for mem
Der of the Minnesota Shippers Association who filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commission petit
ton asking for reduction of twenty-five per cent
in the charges for berths on Pullman cars with the
upper berth reduced to onehaf the lower berth
rate.
The Pullman monopoly has not been nterfered
with by law during the long course of its public serv
ice and it is fit subject for udicious regulation.
The travelling public has borne without much grum-
bling the imposition of the lowered upper berth,
which is seldom occupied and when unoccuped could
be closed into its receptacle and give added COM
fort to the lower berth patron without disturbing in
any way the happiness of the monopoly or impair
ing its dividends.
Sick or well the occupant of the lower berth must
submit to the unreasonable exactions of the com
pany, unless he will consent to pay for the upper
berth he does not use along with the lower berth
he does use. 1t is generally understood that this
rule of the monopoly is enforced for the purpose
of exacng unearned tribute from the travelling pub
lie.
The Minnesota Shippers Association is exactly
right IN its plea to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for reduction of Pullman charges, and
Senator LaFollette, though belonging to another
State, is doing his duty to the country at large in
sustaining the efforts of the association.

Guaranteeing Bank Deposits.

The recent law passed by the State of Okla
homa guaranteeing the depostor in the State banks
of that commonwealth, is disturbing the National
banks of that promising young State The State
banks are getting the funds of the thrifty and pru
dent and the National banks seeking the advice
and consent of the Washington authorities to take
advantage of the State law.
The Kansas folks who have surplus cash are going
over the border and depositing in the Oklahoma
banks where their money is guaranteed, and the
Governor of Kansas is contemplating the calling of
the Legislature to enact similar law for that State.
One argument advanced against the guarantee by
the Government of funds deposited in National banks
was that it would operate disastrously to State
banks because the people would deposit in the Ma
tiona banks where their deposits were guaranteed.
That argument was absurd on its face, because the
State banks would Immediately force the different
States to enact similar laws for the protection of
their depositors.
Now that Oklahoma has taken the initiative for
the protection of depostors, perhaps the Government
will be compelled to legisate to protect depositors
in National banks.
There doesn't appear to be anything very
chistc awful in guaranteeing the people that when
they put money in banks they get it out again.
If it is a most desirable and necessary thing that
the people should have confidence and that they
should not withdraw their money from circulation
in order to hide it away somewhere, why not pro-
vide that their money will be returned to them if
they enrust it to banks? Statistics show that there
are comparatively very few bank failures and that
even when a bank does collapse it pays some per-
centage of their deposits to each bank customer If

liners cut off the income of the auditors wife entirely
and reduced the pay of the son to $75 per month
Thus there was shrinkage of $3.50 per month IN the
cash receipts of the audtorial family, most every
body being out of work but father.
In the hour of his distress the Auditor has petit
toned the Supreme Court for writ of prohibition
against the examining board, commanding its mem
bers to quit interfering with his domestic affairs and
with his business as an Official
The Auditor contends that the State allows him
$4,000 with which to pay assistants and clerks dur
ing his term and that he has not gone beyond the
appropriation He states that the clerks he has en-
ployed are competent and worthy of their hire and
ntimates that their partial withdrawal from the
service is an injury to the State He alleges that
the action of the board SIS fragrant usurpation of
authority and that "it emanates from personal sell
fish, pernicious and malicious motives the part of
the Board of Examiners"
The plaintiff in the case, which is the Auditor,
therefore asks the court restrain the board from
interfering with the conduct of his office and to COM
mand it to allow the claims of his clerks.
Possibly the Auditor is within his rights under
the law and will be able to worst his opponents IN
the end 1t is not illegal for a public officer to fill
the subordinate positions of his office with members
of his family, though it is considered an act of
execrable taste and an unfair division of the spos
of political success
The members of the Board of Examiners have
not thus far in their warlike demonstrations been
actuated by regard for the welfare of the public
service They are indu1ging in petty revenge, the
Auditor having refused to obey the orders of the
machine they represent.
1t is matter of proverb that when certain class
of men fall out, certain other class of men receive
their just dues There is therefore, silver lining
to the cloud that hangs the Idaho State House
and the misused public might we'll cheer up

the losses due to failures of banks were borne by
all the banks the amount assessed against each
would be tri1ing Should all the banks be compelled
TO provide guarantee reserve fund out of which
the losses to depositors through the failure of any
of the banks would be paid, the tax each bank
would be mere trif1e
The Government could provide by law for the is
suance of additional currency in time of actual need,
making the banks pay heavily for it that they
themselves would hasten to retire this additional
money when the real need for its use had passed.
These are simple remedies and Congress is ex-
pected by the people to pass plain and safe
and helpful legislation The A1drich asset currency
bill is vicious and if passed will add to existing
evils Its purpose and effect will be to give to the
banks the power to increase contract the
rency as they may see fit 1t will make it easier
for the banks to precpitate panic, if they de-
sire. The bill does not provide at all for the safety
of his money to the deposition. There is nothing
in the bill to create or maintain confidence. 1t is
a bankers bill drawn solely in their interests, and
not only that but in the interest entirely of the big
banks.
Wall street will be the beneficiary of this legisla-
ton and that is the design Nothing else could rea
sonably be expected from a measure enanating from
Aldrch The people are not considered in this piece
of legislation, and it does not seem possible the
Republican party will dare pass it, at this time, when
the country is in financial distress through the ma
npulatons of these very interests who will be the
only benefciaries of this legislation.
1t is the absolute duty of every Democrat to op-
pose the passage of the A1drich bill to the extreme
limit

For More Carey Act Land.


Senator Hepburn has introduced joint resolution
which provides that million acres of land be granted
to Idaho bect to the terms of the Carey act The
Carey act itself amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill
1t may be the Senator has introduced bill grant
ing to the State million acres, subject to the
provisions of the Carey act. No matter what method
has been taken in the form of legislation his effort
is most commendable and should be successful
Under the terms of the Carey act, which passed
in 1894 one million of public lands given
to each arid and sem-ard State and territory, pro-
vided each arid and semi-arid State and territory
would reclaim them under the rules and regulations
prescribed in the act Idaho quickly took advan-
tage of this law and has made great success of it.
1t is the only subdivision of the country which has
made complete and successful demonstration of the
efficacy of this legislation
The Scimar pointed out in detail in its first issue
November 2nd-what had been accomplished CIV
ing the of the companies the location of the
lands the number of reclaimed in each segre-
CATION, the price of land and other information By
the enterprise of its people Idaho has reclaimed
$4,000 acres is retaining this vast amount
We have reached our limit No other arid or semi
arid State or territory has approached the limit
There should be no objection to the granting of the
additional 100000 acres
The demonstration already made makes it certain
that capitalists will readily forward to reclaim
the additional million acres, and have the added
millions to be reclaimed
Senator Hepburn is member of the public
lands committee, the argument is with him, he be-
longs to the dominant party and should not fail.
Legislation such as this is what counts in up
building, and the accomplishment of such legisla-
ton will add greatly to the Senator's prestige
There is little land remaining in Idaho which can
Under the National irrigation act the Mindoka and
Boise-Payette projects will be all the Government
can undertake for some years The Boise-Payette
project will require many million dollars than
has been appropriated and if the south side of the
Mindoka project is completed as it should be, and
originally intended, more millions will be re-
quired For sentimental reasons The Scmitar would
like to have the National accepted plan in the upper
Snake River Valley completed which contemplates
the reclamation of about 900 acres in the Dubois
project 1t is magnificent country, and wish
the Government, could reclaim it, but have that
land in view portion of it, well as the coun
try between Nampa and Glenns Ferry, and other
smaller sections, which would surely and quickly be
prepared to furnish homes for thousands if oppor
tunity is given capital to reclaim another million
acres under the wise provisions of the Carey act.
The accomplishment of the proposed legislation is
worthy the constant and united effort of the entire
Idaho delegation.

From time out Of mind. says the ia
pan Times, certain devotees of that
country have visited a celebrated tenn
pie at Marta twice year to perform
the pious act of fasting within its sa-
cred precincts. A fasting hall'' has
been specially erected for their accom-
mediation. Observations kept on 226
men and 80 women who tasted showed
that Of the whole number 50 tasted less
than a week, TIA tasted one week. 10
continued fasting two weeks, ii tasted
three weeks, and one went without
food for five weeks. Inquiry as to the
motives of the fasters showed that 169
men and % women desired to rise in
the world, 13 men and 2 women want
ed to increase their business profits, 16
men prayed for the safety of their fam
lilies, 13 men and women sought cures
Of diseases and 10 men wanted general
good luck. Only three persons, two
men and one woman, tasted in graft

ers. 1T need scarcely be said," re-
marks the Japan Times, that the peri
cd of their fasting was the shortest
