FOR SAFER BANKS.

Congress did not act along the line of securing
greater safety in caring for deposited funds Both
the leading political parties, however, have made
declarations this subject Two propositions
have been forced on public consideration by the
events of the last few months. The first is the
plan so often endorsed by the farmers-the adop-
tion of Postal Savings Banks 1t is maintained
that Postal Savings Banks will stimulate thrift,
economy and desire to something among
people to whom bank account is stranger,
and this ultimately will prove great benefit to
private savings banks by creating many thousands
of small funds which would never have been in
existence but for the encouragement of the gov
eminent and these funds will in time find their
way into other bank vaults, where higher rates of
interest are paid
Arthur Reynolds, president of the Des Moines
National Bank, of Des Moines, Ia, and member
of the currency commission of the American Bar
Association, is recognized as authority cur
rency questions in the United States. He says:
81 know the President and his principal advisers
believe in the Postal Savings Bank. They wanted
the bankers to provide for it in the Mckinley
rency bill, and it is fact that the country is
coming to a postal bank law AS matter of
fact such institution would not damage the
banks 1t is estimated that last year foreigners
in the United States carrying in their peck
cts postal money orders totalng $40 100000 to
$20,000,000. This serves to show how much money
is kept out of the banks and actually out of cir
culation under present conditions. The Postal
Savings Banks would bring out much of this
money The postal banks have not damaged the
banking business in other countries, and I think
they would not do SO here.
$50 far as the savings deposits are concerned,
the proper method of curing what abuses there
are would be either to segregate them entirely in
savings banks compel all banks handling
ings to segregate them and invest them in certain
classes of securities The law should be specific
on this point; this would be a legitimate field for
regulation, and the government would not be go
ing outside it's province to do The general
idea of deposit insurance is uneconomic from any
standpoint
'"This whole question of insurance of bank de-
posits is up largely because of the fact that there
have been losses to savings depositors. In my
judgment it would be outside the province of the
government to engage in the special protection of
any class of business With the insurance of de-
posits, there would be removed much of the in
centive to public discrimination which now oper-
ates to keep the reckless from securing the bust
of the people, and the protection sought to be
given the depositor would not protect"

The increase in assessed valuation of railroad
property in this state is stated to be 900,
against $43 900 900 last year. This, taken with the
increase in assessed valuation of timber lands,
should tighten the tax burdens of the home-makers
of the state.

Did You Ever Stop

To think of the imp ortance of your teeth? If not, do so. Your teeth are the most important function of your body. With poor teeth you cannot properly digest your food. Improperly digested food is the cause of much suf- fering-dyspepsia and other diseases.
 In having your dental needs attended go where you can get the very best work. Dr. Metallic has 30 years actual practice in oral surgery and operative dentistry. Dr. McCaw has had 20 years actual practice in operative dentistry and crown and bridge work, and gives no dentist precedence in prothodontia and artistic dentistry. All the latest me- hods of doing work; 10 years guar antee on all work We are here to stay. Our new offices over City Bakery are the neatest in Southeastern Alaska. Don't let students without experience do your work.

The citizens of Juneau have been try ing to get the Road Commission to build road from that city to Sheep Creek. Nothing has been said or done on this side of the channel to interfere with the project Nor do we want the good people of Juneau to think that we have now any desire to throw cold water on the scheme. There are, per haps, good reasons for the building of this road, and the benefit to Juneau and to the persons having claims at Sheep Creek would be very great. How ever, we have doubts as to whether the government will ever build such road, and, also, we believe that the same eff fort expended in another direction would-and may yet-produce results of far greater importance to Juneau and the major portion of the prospect ors of this section than would the building of a dozen roads to Sheep Creek. Furthermore, we believe that proper effort will bring results quicker and more surely for the proposition we have in mind because of its greater i'm portance.
 Every evidence indicates that the territory between Juneau and Berners bay is the richest in mineral of any so far discovered in Southeastern Alaska. Recent discoveries have emphasized its Importance. The places of importance may now be reached in two ways. First by trip in a small boat across the bar that puts out from the foot of Menden- hall glacier, opposite the upper end of Douglas island, or the long trip around the lower eud of Douglas island. To cross the bar is not always possible even for the smallest of the power boats and if the trip around the Island is made in small boat there is often a serious element of danger from the storms that sometimes rage on Lynn Canal. A trail leading to this section would therefore be great convenience, and what is more, it would open to the prospector vast stretch of territory that has now only been passed over hastily at the most.
 A trail could be built from Juneau to the mill on Eagle river inside of dis tance of 24 miles, perhaps less. There are no great obstacles in the way, in fact part of the distance is already traversed by fair wagon road. There are few bridges to be built across small streams, but after Mendenhall glacier is passed low divide offers splendid opening.
 The enthusiasm for the proposed Sheep Creek road is necessarily con- fined to few, but even a trail up the coast would enlist tue sympathy and vigorous support of every man who is interested in the section mentioned or in the business welfare of the Capital City.
