amended otherwise to increase the security OF tne
creditors of the banks and reduce to minimum
this already small percentage of loss TO depositors
A bank failure is demoralizing in any community
no matter how small the percentage OF loss may DO
to the depostors. A guarantee of deposits scheihe
would undoubtedly increase rather than diminish
the number of bank failures because OF the nazaru-
Gus banking and speculative ventures which such a
system would engender and encourage, through 'ho
augmentation of deposits resulting from the reance
depositors upon the guarantee fund 10 insure te
against loss and their consequent indifference as 10
the reputation of the bank in which they placeo
their money. The number OF failures would IN
crease but the burden of loss would pe shiIteu
the depositor to the stockholder whose pron's
would be used toward maintaining or making soou
any deficiency in the guarantee fund. Inc stoch-
holder is as much entitled to governmental protec-
ton in his investment the depositor. Ihe one
places his money into the bank for the interest nc
may receive therefore, or for convenience vi eA
change in his business transactions The other in
his money in the stock for the pront he may
derive therefrom. The capital stock of banks is
very largely distributed among people OF lmiteo
means Why discriminate between the depositor
and the stockhdfder?
Congress at its last session recognized the neces
sity for amendments to our currency anu
banking laws which would only improve our
currency system. but would increase the security
of deposits in national banks, and national none
tary commission authorized and appointed I"

request of this commission, the Controller or the
Currency has carefully prepared and submitted 10
that body a number of recommendations Wmch oo-
servation of the practical operation OF the banking
laws has shown to be necessary in the interest of
the better security of the depostors In the banks
These recommendations point out the defective
features of the banking which have contributed
largely toward permitting conditions to exist IN
the banks which ultimately have resulted In fall

lines of the Controllers suggestions. and they un-
doubtedy will be during the coming session of Con-

Cute Cardinal Button, Is Latest Uni
form for Varsity Nursery.

MADISON. Wis, Sept. 29.-[Spe-
al.l-PoSted conspicuously around the
campus today were the mandates of the
upper classmen requiring the freshmen
to deck their heads with green caps
with cardinal buttons. The caps have
been placed on sale at one of the stores
and it is expected that every freshman
will purchase one and wear it until the
first Of May, the penalty attached to the
order being Il ''dUckinG' in Lake Men
dota. This is the first time that any
thing of this nature has been attempted
ut tho university and whether or not the
''frcShies' will obey or resist the order
is being watched with interest.
Hazing has been begun i'll a small way
but as yet there have been no large
hazng parties and the freshmen have
been comparatively unmoleSted There
was talk of Il big "ducking" party last
night, but owing to the cOldness of the
weather it was dropped. The class rush
held annually between the two lower
classes Of the university. will be held
this year out near the agricultural school
instead Of al the gymnasium. 1t is ex-
pccted that i'll this way the event will
be disr0bed Of its former dangers on
account Of the large rocks that are on
the lake shore. This years event will be
governed by the two upper classes who
will sec 10 it that fair play is given by
each class.
