Controlled by Politics.

In commenting upon The Scinitar account of the
mixture of land frauds and politics in Idaho, the
Salt Lake Tribune says:
We print this morning on another page the Idaho
Scimitar's summing up of the scandalous events in
politics and civic affairs of that state in connection
with the land fraud The story is that can
hardly fail to attract national attention. and the pub
lie judgment must severely condemn the proceed
ngs rected
There can be no doubt in the world of the alleged
frauds in land dealings in Idaho being mainly gov
erned by political reasons. The case is absolutely
plain, and the acts as recited, are clear, so
misakably point to collision by the president in the
suppression of certain phases of the legal procedure
that there be mistake about the political phases
and his revengefu action toward Jealous officials for
doing their simple duty and his lberating those who
joined III laudatory paenS upon himself, through
which they excupated from all blame, and his
determination shown that others shall not be con-
victed form scandalous conspiracy against justice.
It is villainous story all through, faithfully and
well told, and which fully substantiates the posi-
ton of The Tribune has taken heretofore, that there
is far politics than law justice good faith,
in these so-called prosecutions for land frauds.

For Postal Bank.

Advocating a postal savings bank, Mr..
Meyer said:
Every facility should be open TO our
people and every man. woman and child
should be able to deposit savings in any
portion of the country at any time of the
day. This can be afforded By the Post
Office Department because the post office
is established in every city. town and vii
lage, there being exactly 1,S14 post offices.
The postal savings banks. besides encour-
aging economy and thrift would afford
u place of deposit. free from any possi-
bility of doubt suspicion, for vast
sums OF money which might otherwise be
boarded and kent out of circulation
through ignorance or lack of confidence.
Our plan is TO obtain authority from
Congress to deposit Tie money received
at the post Office in the national banks OF
that particular state. In that way each
locality would be benefited by having this
new money led back into the channels OF
trade.
''As an evidence Of good faith that there
is intention desire to compete with
existing savings banks. the rate of inter
est recommended is per cen. the amount
of deposit being limited TO so for any in
