APPROVES KANSAS
BANK GUARANTY
Judge Taft Says Plan Suggested BY
Republicans Of sunfower State
Avoids Objections.

Topeka, Kans., Sept. 12.--W. H.
Taft, the Republican presidential can
didate, in letter to Walter Roscoe
Stubbs, Republican candidate for gov
ernor Of Kansas, points out that the
Kansas platforms reference to bank
deposit insurance avoids the objec-
tions urged against the Democratic
national platform. Judge Taft's let.
ter reads:
Middle Bass Island, Sept. Al
agree with you that the action of the
Republicans of Kansas, as to an en-.
|abling act by which banks in Kansas
may voluntarily guarantee each 9th.
|er's deposits, is very different from
the proposition In the Democratic
platform, enforcing tax against all
banks, by which they are in effect to
guarantee the recklessness and dis.
honesty Of every other bank. Under
the system proposed, for instance. In
|the state OF Connecticut. Mr. Hill has
shown that In the course of four years
the banks and depositors OF Connect.
cut would pay out 100000 and re.
ceive nothing back, and that 100000
would go to help the depositors in
Wall Street banks, which, through the
manipulation of stock gamblers
would use al the deposits for the pur
pose Of promoting wild speculation
II do not have the statistics, but
have no doubt the same thing in per
haps less marked degree, would be
true in Kansas. OF course, you could
not expect me to express an opinion
on state measure Of this sort. be-
cause state legislation is not involved
in the national issues, but you are
sincere in your belief that the proposi
ltion in the Kansas platform avoids al
together the objection which I urged
in my speech Of acceptance to the
Democratic proposition for nationa
enforced insurance of deposits in all
banks. The Kansas proposition comes
within the saving clause which I ex
pressly inserted, to show that the OBJ
lection had to make was not apple
able to such system. Very sincere
lly yours,
