SAFE BANKS
SAYS BRYAN
SHOWS THAT TAFT's THEORY
IS POORLY FOUNDED AND
THAT BANKERS AND PEo-
PIE WILL De BENEFITED.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2S.-ln
opening his speech here last night
BRYAN proved by a Kansas City
banker that only one fourth the
bankers in Kansas are opposed to
the bank guaranty law. He also
showed that four national banks
in Oklahoma had transferred to
state charters in order to get the
benefit of the guaranty law, and
l6 others had made application to
do so.
Bryan argued the hopelessness OF
securing universal extension of the
depositors' protective measure
through the republican party, cit
ing Tafts denunciation of the plan.
Bryan urged compulsory guaranty
of deposits for both state and ma
tional banks, and stated that with
a democratic president and con-
gress the adoption of such a sys-
tenn would be easy.
He showed that as only national
banks are not benefited by the op-
Grafton of the Oklahoma law, these
banks are losing deposits so
heavily to the state secured banks
that they were surrendering nation
al charters in order to become
beneficiaries. National banks de-
posts had decreased there $1.1O1,-
S07 since last May, while the Sc
cured banks had gained $4,237 ,765.
this gain proving that the secured
banks had brought out great deal
of money hidden away in distrust
of banks, in addition drawing from
the unsecured national banks. The
latter had failed to hold their de-
posts even by Offering higher
rates of interest than the secured
banks paid.
Bryan criticised Taft's argument
that the bank guaranty would pen
alize honest bankers for the faults
of dishonest ones, showing that the
honest bankers are already penal,
lied to an extent in paying for
bank examinations and in being re
ouired to carry certain reserves
because not all bankers are pru
dent. He argued that under the
guaranty law bank stockholders
would speedily see that regulations
were put In force holding loans tt
safe limits and in other particular:
safeguarding bank management
He opposed the republican posta
sayings bank idea, saying the banl
guaranty offered the safest an(
best alternative. Bryan concluded
There is another advantage
which the guaranty Of depositor'
brings to the banks-it protects
the reserves deposited in othe
banks. During the panic last fal
the reserves caused the most 0
the trouble. The small banks want
ed to withdraw their. reserves from
the city banks, and the big bank
in the cities were not prepared t
meet the strain. With deposit
guaranteed there would be no run
ON local banks and no sudden witt
drawal of reserves.
1.-The banks will, as a rule, gal
more from the Jaw than they wi
lose by the tax imposed by tn
:, law The experience of the Okla
homa banks shows this. The il
terest collected upon the increase
deposits will far more than pa
the losses occasioned by inso
vency. But two banks have faile
and the assets have in both case
been sufficient to reimburse tn
fund.-

PUBLIC MARKET GETS
SOME ATTENTION

The city chain gang was taken
to the public market yesterday aft
ernoon and cleaned up the mis-
cellaneous rock heaps laying
around, nailed down some sidewalk
boards and put the place in better
shape generally. 1t is suggested
that the locality be treated to some
sprinkling, now that there is no
longer a water scarcity. The dust
in the vicinity is abominable.

Take a Turkish Bath

No medicine ever prescribed has
the soothing, beneficial effects on
tired nerves that a Turkish Bath
has. To build up one part of the
system medicines tear down others,
often causing injurious after eff

simply causes a heavy perspiration,
thus throwing off the poisons of
the body through the pores of the
