BANK DEPOSITS.
Mortified News. Rep.1

In view Of the uniformed state OF
public opinion, of the wide differences
Of view that prevail and in the alb
sence Of any authoritative expression
on the subject the right to say moth
ing of the policy of those who are
usually looked on to voice the opinion
Of the Republican party to commit the
party ON the question of a guarantee
of bank deposits may be questioned
Every one, of course, has a right to
his own opinion and to give any pub
Meity to it he pleases. It is unfair and
altogether unwarranted, however, to
assume that any one opposing such
guarantee speaks for the Republican
party Whom the occasion arrives the
In&R3y will speak for itself. Until it
A6es it must not be assumed that the
Republican party is opposed to some
form of insurance Of bank deposits.
Whether right or wrong, whether
practicable or impracticable, the pro-
posal to insure depositors in banks
against less is plausible.

IT, : an SAINT administration. the prop
egz-5 of the Trust in st. Louis and
II "a counties were assessed at $24-

Of . Trust was, in round numbers,
81 1000. Under Governor Johnson's
az. ,uistration this assessment valua
H. been increased to 1895, 100000.
IT.. burden of taxation has been re

IT IS UP TO Y0UI

The campaign is drawing to close,
and next week will see the votes de-
posted and counted. The great else
torate Of the state OF Minnesota will
have spoken, and its voice will do
eide who is to hold the helm for the
succeeding two years. We do not be-
lieve that there is any question as to
the result, but before the question is
decided we would ask the voters to
seriously and impartially consider
few of the issues at stake.
Do you favor 2-cent passenger
rate on the railroads OF the state?
DO you favor 10eper cent reduction
OF railway freight rates on commodi-
ties?
do you approve the raising Of the
assessed valuation Of the Steel Trust
properties on the iron ranges to the
extent. of 400 per cent?
Do you approve the taxation OF
mortgages?-
Do you believe in the conservation
Of the states natural resources and
the punishment of the men who have
despoiled them, under collective re-
sponsibility?"
Do you favor liberal policy in the
advancement of the educational instf-
tutions of the state?.
Do you approve the installation Of
the harvester factory in the Stillwa-
ter prison?
Do you consider it the part of wis
dom to enlarge the facilities for the
production of twine In the twine
plant?
Governor Johnson has used his
great influence for the advancement
of all these, and if you favor them,
would it not be just exercising rea-
sonable common sense to continue
him in office?
at is up to you!"

JACOBSON SEES THE HAND WRIT.
ING ON THE WALL, 4.

81 do not want to encourage the
feeling between the city and country,
which ought never to exist" said Can
didate Jacobson last Friday evening
at meeting of political workers in
Minneapolis.
The remarks were greeted with ap-
plause by his hearers and the parti-
san newspapers took up the cry and
made the best of it. And well they
might, for it is the most sane utter
ance delivered by the Republican can
didate during this campaign.
However, it might not be amiss to
remind the voters of Minnesota that
the only occasion for rivalry between
the country and the city was kindled
and kept up by the demoeosic appeals
of this same jacobson during his
strenuous days in the legislature.
There was time when Jacobson
was a power with Minnesota lawmak-
ers. He didn't earn his leadership by
merit or by ability, but by sheer force
and threats. VI

OF 1owly parentage and each was oom-
PEELED to practically make his own
way in the world. That each did this
by rhe rugged paths of honor is
euually creditable tc both. But here
the comparison ends. While the one
was earning his daily bread he was
delving in books and enriching his
mind; he became deep student and
polished orator. He so fitted him

which he was chosen, whether official

tsroughout the nation. He was seri-
c,':Gly considered as a candidate for /
the presidency by one Of the great
parties of the nation, and it is freely
prophesied OF him that he will yet
attain that great enfnence. Starting
as poor boy, with no inherited adj
yantages, as friendless as any waif of !
the street, he has become a man
whom the nation delights to honor
AS to the other, he, too, delved for |

It 11ood, embarked in mercantile pur-
salts, in which he was more or less

th3t he is a "cracker jack" of an auc- .

Moreover, as a matter of~fact bad
management is but one cause Of the
failure Of banks. It is quite as often
due to dishonesty and to disregard Of
the wholesome provisions of law, Of
which depositors can know nothing
and stockholders as a rule are ig-
noTant. This is by no means con-
fined to banks that fail. At the meet
ing in Chicago a short time ago, at
Which Mr.. Bryan spoke, the greatest
of Chicago bankers and the man who
is the head and front of the opposition
TO the deposit guarantee plan was
compelled to publicly admit that some
OF the most wholesome and necessary
restrictions regarding loans by ma
tional banks were habitually disre-
garded. So long as that is done sue
cessfuIly, and it is in the majority of
cases, it is not found out and the
bank management has all the credit
due to successful financiering. Occa-
those who break the law
make an unsuccessful venture and dis
sipate the funds Of both stockholders
and depositors. In such case exposure
is inevitable and. unsuccessful rascal
ity is properly punished. Whether
morally the banker who failed was
more culpabIe than the banker whose
unlawful investment turned out well
Is another question.

the Steel Trust during the four years
of Governor Johnson than during all!
the previous history of the state.

The highest tax which a Repub-
lican state administration ever COM
PEELED the iron mines to pay into the
state treasury in one year was S144,-
900. The boards appointed by Gov
ernor Johnson require the iron mines
this year to pay the state $660,000,
an increase of. a clear 100000. There
is no question into which campaign

DECISIVE BLOW AT THE TRUST

Who Stood by Them.

"lf Governor Johnson signs the bill
he will sign his own political death
warrant"
This was the declaration of Chi
cago paper, the organ OF the Harves-
ter Trust, when the bill establishing
a harvester plant at the Saltwater
prison had passed the legislature and
was before Governor Johnson for his
signature. Governor johnson signed
the bill, and it remains to be seen
whether the Chicago prophecy is true
and that he signed his own political
death warrant.
In his message to the legislature of
1907 Governor Johnson said:
