CHEAP HLDESARE HERE
The Boot and Shoe Industry Should
Boom, but 1t DOSen't

The people who have been de-
term ined to have the Protective
duty removed from hides, in order
10 secure lower price. ought to be
satisfied with present conditions.
Hides have fallen in price about
one-half. Not long ago some of
the newspapers were relating how
the high price hides was hamper;ng
the boot and shoe industry. The
Protective duty is not great, but
they want it removed. Now that
hides have decreased in price, We
might expect the boot and shoe in
dustry to 60 right to the front. AS
we understand it, the hide duty was
the only thing that was in the
way. Douglas, the shoemaker OF
Massachusetts, many times stated
lis position. He wanted the duty
removed. He wanted rcheap. hides
for the shoe factories at Lowell and
elsewhere in Massachusetts,. In,
fact, the whole State of Massachu-
setts has been excited on the ques.
tion of hides. We shall expect to
read in the papers that the shoe
factories of the old Bay State are
running night and day, and that ad'
ditions are being constructed to
make room for the employment oI
more men and additional machin-
cry. If cheap hides make shoe fac
tories run, we want them to start up.
But in sorrow we relate that in
Massachusetts they haven't the
money with which to buy shoes
even though hides are cheap. This
shoe factories arsnot booming, and
they never do BEEN when prices are
going downward. These are les
sons that some people will never
learn.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the organizatir as o'
farmers are not demanding re
vision of the Tariff. The imple.
ment dealers mildly suggested that a
slight revision would be acceptable.
But the Corn Belt Meat Producers
seem to have forgotten about the
Tariff. .-Des Moines Capital.

understanding with the Santa Fe by
which they stopped work ON the
switch caused the delay. This

.SPECIALSESSION

The special session of the Kansas
legislature called by Gov. Hoch TO-
few specific causes. seems to think
the whule code ought to be revolu
tionized by the way bills are being
poured into the hopper.
They seem to be in quite wrangle
oyer the form of the primary bill.
Both houses agree that the primary
law is the proper stuff but so far
they cannot agree on some of the es-
sential requirements Of the bill.
The senate seems determined to
have what Is designated as a split
primary. That means a two Legged
affair, part of the officers to be
nominated at specially called pri
may and the United States senator
to be nominated at the time of the
regular fall election. OF course
there is politics in the various
moves.
Our legislators seem to think
that they meet to gain some kind Of
political advantage over anothe'
faction than the one to which they
belong rather than to pass salutary
laws for the good of the people and
the state.
The people are not caring very
much about these factional fights
but want just laws for all concerned.
They surely do expect this legisla.
ture to give us fair aad reasonable
primary law. One that will enable
the common voter to express hi,
choice for the various Offices anc
not be traded off by the politica
sch emers,
They do not care particularly
whether they take it a. one gulp OF
have two or three bites at it so
there is no political jobbery in the
method Qt isa chance TO freely
express their preferences that the
people are after and the legislator,
be he representive or senator who
opposes this desire will finG himsel

WHY SHOULD NOT TE-

The Capital will feel like oppos

bankers who are attempting to de
feat it will explain on what princi
pie the Legislature should require
banks to put up a bonded guaranty
before State deposits are made with
them, or why the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington should re-
quire these banks who are opposing
this law to segregste from the as
sets which paotect general deposits

posits certain particularly good Sc
curities as a guaranty for his special
deposit. The banks eheerfully
comply with the demands of the
government and take away from the
assets behind general deposits to
secure this particular depositor
against loss.
Yer the State and Uncle Sam are
not classed among the small wage
earners or the widows aAd orphans
who are can afford to suffer the loss
of a portion of their deposits On
the contrary, the State and the feder-
al government are comparatively rich
and know where they can get more
revenue when they need 1t. After

caused very little damage, but the
fear of bank failures has caused
disastrous runs ON banks, has ag-
gravated panics and causes large
sount of money, nobody knows
how large, to be constantly boarded
out of use. But as to the principle
of deposit guarantees, it has long
been recognized by the banks and
and the government, State and fed
eral which has special opportunities
of inspection at all times without
notice and Is therefore In a position
of advantage over the ordinary de.
positor, nevertheless insists on hav'
ing its deposit specially guaranteed,
while the common depositor, when
he insists ON the same thing, is re-
garded as foolishly conservative and
exacling.
In the recent panic the banks
were more afraid OF the depos''
tors than the depositors were
of the banks and this was be-
cause the common depositors being
without a guaranty other than con-
hdsAcs on general principles, were
expected by the BANKERS to become
alarmed, so the banks got together
and refused to comply with the de-
positoi's anticipated demands,
which they had right to make, for
their money. But the government
was not alarmed. Instead of draw.
ing ON its deposits, it increased
them, being careful, however, to
exact special security by way oi
guaranty in advance. If the theory
is good bstween the government and
the banks, what's the matter with
it between the people and the
banksf-Topeka Capital.
