For Bank Guarantees Looks
Very, Very Fishy
When Judge Taft Points Out
Fd|IdCies Of the Plan.
Hitchcock Steers Clear Of New
York State Politics.

Hot Springs. Va. Aug 2G.-'It puts
a premium on reckless banking and
is an inducement to reckless banking"
Thus did Mr.. Taft. this afternoon,
in response to a direct request to state
what is. in his opinion. the vital OBJ
lection 20 the proposed plan to guaran-
tee deposits in national banks.
THAT is the fundamental objection"
he said. "Releved of the responsible
ity to and the fear of his depositors,
the tendency would be to induce ex-
ploitation. manipulation and the use Of
assets of banks in Il speculative way.
1t would promote speculation at the
expense Of his fellow bankers and that.
ultimately. means at the expense Of
the dtpCsitors. Any proposition as to
the amount of the tax that should be
assessed, as based on the present rate
OF loss, Is on a erroneous basis as hte
danger of loss Of deposits is increased
vastly by the proposed system, so that
the percentage of the tax would have
to be vastly increased.
MIR. bryan did not favor a guaranty,
the government to raise the funds by
taxing the banks. but the Democratic
platform provides for an enforced In
surarce which compels all national
banks to contribute to the insurance
funds to meet the defaults of the spec
ulatOrs.

BAKER REPLIES
To Criticisms Of United
States Court Of Appeals.
Says One Corporation Was
Sentenced For Acts Of Another
And Defends Setting Aside Of the
Fine Against Standard Oil Co.

Chicago, Aug. pa dispatch from
Goshen, Ind, says: Judge Francis E
Baker of the United States circuit
court of appeals which reversed the
decision of Judge Lands fining the
Standard Oil Co. of $4,000, 600, replied
yesterday to the criticisms of his
court.
In the first place" he said, 'it was
not the STANDARD Oil Co. incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey. the par
ent concern. that was on trial, but
the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, an
offspring undoubtedly, but much
smaller and weaker organization.
But when it came to pass judg-
ment, it was on the offenses of the
parent company that the Indiana off
spring Was found guilty and it was
III accordance with the property and
revenues of the parent company that
the line of the offspring was gagged
If it was the desire and purpose of the
court to punish the Standard Oil Co
of New Jersey that concern should
have been indicted either jointly or
separately and have ben brought into
court.
Every corporation has exactly the
same rights as an Individual, 10 more
no less. The parent company is of
course more or less responsible for the
acts of the Indiana company. The peo
pie will sc oncr or later realize that the
courts ARE not SWayed by any other
influence than law and precedent
What any one may say in regard to
the decision of a court, counts for no
more than his opinion. All l know in
reality about the case is that a COM
mon thing has occurred. motion for a
re-hearinS has been filed"
