But for the cooler heads many would have jumped from the train in their paroxysms of fear.
 In few minutes the train would have been in safety, but the heat being intense, the railway ties were soon ablaze. Still the train sped at terrific rate, when there sudden crash, and

CRY TAXES.

which II was estimated would come

making total Of s41.s00 for the ex-
penses OF the city the coming year.
We said this meant a tax OF 14.4 mills
on tho dollar Of assessed valuation
and that this valuation would reach
S2,000,O0O. The ordinance passed
last night provides for revenue OF
100000 for general purposes, $4,000
for interest and redemption Of out
standing warrants which were illegal

on bonds, making s2s,sO0 to be rails

Ing OF the ordinance. TO raise this
sum on valuation of $4,000, 900
will require a tax levy OF 14.4 mills
on the dollar. Just what the Press
claimed and for which we were called
all sorts OF liars by the subsidized
Journal. Every charge we made 10
confirmed In this ordinance and we
now submit the facts to the people
IN justification OF our position. The
assessment has been raised from a
ten to Atty per cent basis OF yalua-
tion and the levy increased from slew
en- to 14.4 mills. Just take these
figures and ascertain what the in

OPEN REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.

for q. o. p.


for q. o. p.
WASHINGTON July 16.-Frank |
Hitchcock, chairman of the republic
can national committee, will open the
campaign Of 1908 in the far west.
Practically the first move in the CAM |
paign will be made at Colorado
Springs, Col, next Monday and Tues
day. At that time in the Antlers
hotel Chairman Hitchcock will hold
conference with republican leaders
Of all the states and territories west
of the Missouri river. Represented
at the conference will be North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Wash
ington, Oregon and California. The
republican chairman and the commit
tee men of these states and territor- /
les have been invited by Chairman
Hitchcock to attend the conference
anu oil Vi LuCAh AaFC nOIAAOA nan "a 7
their intention to be present.
It is the purpose of Mr.. Hitchcock,
in the bringing thus together of the
republican leaders of the west, to
consider plans for the campaign in
that territory. 1t is his desire that
the leaders should become acquainted
with one another so that each should
feel that he is a part of the conduct
of the campaign and in the formula
ton of plans and that they should
cooperate to bring about general
result.
At the Colorado Springs conference
careful plans will be mapped out for
the campaign in the west; methods
will be discussed and speakers for
the various states arranged for, so
far as may be possible. In the near
future similar conferences will be
held by Chairman Hitchcock with re-
publican leaders in the middle west
and in the east.
The place of the middle west con-
ference will be Chicago, and it pos
sibly will be called about 10 days
after the Colorado Springs confer
ence. Some time subsequently the
conference Of the eastern leaders will
be held in New York city.
1t can be said to be not unlikely
that Mr.. Hitchcock may make his per-
manent headquarters during the cam
i paign in Chicago instead of New
York. Final decision of the matter
may depend to some extent upon the
selection of a vice chairman of the
national committee. 1t has not been
determined yet who that may be, and
1t is not the purpose of Mr.. Hitchcock
to name the vice chairman until he
Is prepared to announce the national
executive committee. He may not
make this announcement until early
in August.
Mr.. Hitchcock returned today from
New York, where he completed the
preliminary arrangements for the
headquarters and closed contracts for
many necessary supplies. When he
visited Representative Sherman at
Utica, plans we're practically perfect
ed by which there will be intimate
cooperation between the republican
national and congressional commit
tees. 1t already has been decided
that the literary bureaus of the two
| committees shall be merged into one
and that the work shall be directed
from national headquarters.
Mr. Hitchcock expressed gratifica-
ton today at the condition of Repre-
sentative Sherman's health.

bound to be interested 10 IL ever gets

Big banking Institutions in the
money centers of the country should
heartily favoTa the scheme. II will
drain every dollar Of the available
resources Of the interior country d.
rectly into their Golfers 10 be used by
them, and local banks desiring money
will be compelled to so thither for
their funds.
This may be incomprehensible to
one holding to the simple creed
that bank is Nike hidden tea pot,
place in which to keep money, and
nothing else Now a bank holds a
definite and important relationship to
the business community in which II
exists. Every business man at some
time or other seeks accommodation
at bank. We use the word accom-
modation IN its broad sense. not
merely with reference to its lending
capacity. II the bank was not there
to accommodate them, our industry
and commerce could not expand to
satisfy the demands of the popula'
ton, and many a concern would be-
come salvage for the bankruptcy
lawyers, that now is kept on its feet
Then. too, idle industries could not
be revived: and this would be true
! II the banking system was controlled
through big institutions located
away OF, not in sympathy with local
projects, and engaged in bigger
ventures with their own clients. Put
local banks absolutely at the merry
OF the big city institutions. and every
laborer. small merchant and salary
saver viii contribute his mite to
enrich those big money certers, and
dry up the resources of his own CON-
munity.
OF course, there would continue to
be deposits from local retail mer-
chants. who would handle the pro
ducts manufactured at these money
centers: but few banks could get
along with the profits from handing
that money. II is too uncertain. The
business men with small capital are
constantly depOslting and drawing
out. and a bank must have the cash
on hand to meet their demands. But
the laborer. clerk and salar!ed man,
savers. keep the banks in funds.
The bank pays interest on the de-
posts and uses them in acommo-
dating local industry. encouraging IL
and building il up. Thus the money
of each community. in so far as the
local banks are concerned. is kept
at home to be used in creating local
wealth. and every saving man IS a
contributor to the wealth of his one
community.
1t Is not surprising that some
patriotic men at Washington. reared
in the east in the big money centers,
should honestly think the postal saw
ings bank system wise, especially
since people out here who would be
most seriously affected, have not fully
awakened to the menace OF II; but
the longer one studies the subject
the more he must be convinced that
the small industrial communities Of
the interior country will be absolute
" dried up, and deprived OF all their

sources by this dangerous new
method Of concentrating the wealth

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.


To borrow an expression from the
president-elect. unless the interior
press of the country brings pressure
90 bear on the congressman -''judg-
ment pro confesso" will be- taken
against the country in the postal
savings bank matter That issue
never was squarely before the people
of THIS country to be discussed pro
and con that they might understand
H. AS far as the postal bank was
concerned II was written IN the plat
forms of both great parties, and the
people were then given the alterna-
tive of choosing between the postal
savings bank and the guaranty of
bank deposits: but it Is fairly doubt
full whether this alternative even was
clearly presented, so many other
things entered into the situation, in
Guiding the personalities of the con-
didates. Certainly such a radical and
far-reaching step as Is contemplated
should not be taken by the govern
ment until the country has spoken.
II proposes n general to open a
postal savings bank with a receiving
station in every postofIice in the
country for small deposits at two per
cent interest free from danger of at
tachment. The hackers of the meas
ure say It will attract boarded money.
and cultivate a saving habit among
poor people and thus prove, feeder
for the local banks; as it is expected
that people will draw their money
out when they have accumulated
$500, which is the limit for which
interest rs paid. and re-deposit it in
some local bank that pays a higher
rate of interest.
That looks well on the face OF Il,
and the supporters of the postal bank
point to it's success in Europe as an
encouragement. That also Is superfic-
tally good; but European nations
are supported by their public debts
handled through central banks. and
they use the postal savings deposit
system to drain an the money from
the provinces into the big central
banks.
That doesn't look so well, because
we are striving all the time in this
country to accomplish the very oppo-
site result, No keep the money from
seeking a common center; and the
promoters Of the postal savings bank
recognize this objection by providing
all the safeguards they know to cir
cumvent this d,fficulty They would
pay MINIMUM rate OF interest. stop
interest at $500 and bar deposits OF
$1,000 Then they would provide
for the distribution of this money
national banks as equitably
as possible among the districts |
whence Il flowed into Washington.
That resembles a scheme Of drainage
that contemplate the diversions Of
natural streams into one big basin
aud the redistribution back over the
same territory On entirely new chan
ne,s; a rather hazardous experiment
for those who had already located
their farms IN relation to the existing
system OF drainage and irrigation
We are a bit dubious about the sue
cess Of the enterprise. as far as the
redlstributing end OF II is concerned, |
and il is in that. which the people |
o. the interior OF the country are
