TAFT'S OPINION OF BANK
GUARANTY PROPOSITION

and Heavy Loss, All of Which

lB, Morning journal Special leased wirel
Hot Springs. Va. Aug. 26.--"i, puts
a premium on reckless banking and
is an induccmcnt to reckless banking
Thus did MIR TAFT this afternoon.
in response TO direct question. state
what was, in his opinion, the vital
objection to the proposed plan to
guarantee deposits in national banks,
"rhat Is the fundamental obiec-
lion" he said. Relieved of the re-
spousibnity to ana the fear of his de
postors, the tendency would be to
induce exploitation, manipulation and
the use of assets of banks in a speeu-
lativc way. 1t would promote special
speculation at the expense OF his fell
low bankers and that ultimately
means at the expense of the lopost
ors. ANY proposition as to the
amount of the tax that should be as
sessed. as based on the present rate
of loss is on an erroneous basis, as
the danger Of loss Of deposits Is in
creased vastly by the proposed sys-
tenn, so that the percentage of the
tax would have to be vastly increased.
Mr. Bryan did favor guaranty
the government to raise the funds by
taxing the banks, but the democratic
platform provides for an enforced in
guraucc which Compels all national
banks To contribute to the Insurance
funds to meet the defaults of the spec
ulators. / am told that such law
was In force in New York and that
the result Was that when panic en-
sued, the tax having been improperly
calculated there was not sufficient

COMMEMORATE HARMONY

The Republican is pleased to see the
commendable harmony existing in this
county in the preliminary campaign.
While each Republican candidate is
busy soliciting support for himself he
is granting the same right to the other
candidates; and so far as we have
heard no one has been spending any
time saying unkind things about his
opponents. And while there is. general
interest in the campaign for United
States Senator and for the state and
district officers, there has not been
any unseemly wrangle on the streets
nor expression of bitter feeling be-
tween opposing factions. The legal
lied primary engenders feeling of
confidence that every precinct will
have fair and legal expression in
the selection of candidates for office
and delegates to the county conven-
ton. There is also a widespread
opinion that only good and capable
IlCu nIO III Vic uOlIl anu Iudb "a SbIOuS
ticket will be nominated. We are
pleased to see this harmony and con-
fidence and the absence of bitterness
that prevailed two years ago. Many
men felt and acted then as though dis
aster would surely follow the defeat of
their candidates; but they were mis-
taken. And many men who became
unduly excited and really imagined
that they and their side were the only
good republicans in the bunch, have
had time to cool off and have come to
the conclusion that there are others.
If anyone has a fight to make, now is
the time to make it instead of helping
the enemy after the nominations are
made.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION

Who shall be United States Senator
from the state of Iowa to succeed Sen
ator Allison is the paramount ques-
ton in the present campaign. The Sc
lection of a governor, which made so
much trouble two years ago, seems to
be of secondary Importance and is be-
ing made subordinate and subservi-
ent to the selection of senator.
Some men seem to think that if Will
liam B. Allison is not returned for an
other term, the wheels of government
will stop, and the state of Iowa will
have no more influence at Washing
ton. Some others are sure that if AL
bert B. Cummins is not chosen sena-
tor, the hands on the dial of progress
will suddenly stop and move in the OPP
posite direction. Let us assure both
these elements that the government
will live and move and flourish long
after both of these distinguished gent
lemen are gone and forgotten. We
haven't said much about the selection
of candidate for senator, but we
think the readers of the Republican
clearly understand that we are in IA
vor of returning Senator Allison for
another term. And our preference is
not wholly due to the fact that Cover
nor Cummins is the candidate against
him. Neither is it true because ofany
favors ever received from Senator
Allison. But we are in favor of ALI
son now as against any other man in
the state because of his long and emf
nent service in the past, his leader
ship in the senate today, his high
standing in the Councils of the ma
ton, and the hope that our state
through him may eclipse the records
of all other states rlong, continuous
and efficient service. Senator ALI
son has brought great honor to the
state, is still one of the Chief Counsel
lors of the President, is still able
to do effective work, and should bese-
lected for another term of service.

Mr.. fl. G.. Leach,
Dear Sir:-As you wish to know
how we like the country by this time,
will say, that we like it very we'll so
far. The weather has been as good
here, since we came, as IL is in Iowa.
We put in about nintey acres of oats
and will put in about one hundred
acres OF corn. We have about half of
our corn ground plowed. We found
everything in very good shape when
we came, only the manure had not
been hauled out.
We covered about fifteen acres and
have not got it near all out yet. Small
grain is coming up nice now, though
the last week has been too cold TO
grow much. We have not been here
long enough yet to advise others to
come, but we are very we'll satisfied
ourselves and have not had any cause
to regret the move we made.
Respectfully,

HARLAN ORGANIZES
Money Contributed Freely And Pre-
Iiminary Investigation Begun.

A call for meeting of the CONNER
cial Exchange and subscribers to the
inter-urban railroad fund, brought
out representative body of business
men and citizens at the Commercial
Exchange rooms Wednesday night.
The meeting was called as CONNER
cial Exchange and received the report
of the soliciting committee. The re-
port showed that after only partial
canvass of the town $1,000 had been
raised. Contributions ranged from
$40 to 800. The Exchange then adj
journed and temporary organiza-
tion of the subscribers formed with N.
Nelson chairman, and Il. III. Frank
lin secretary. 1t was moved and car
ried that committee of five be elected
to take charge of the necessary pre-
liminary investigation and report the
form of permanent organization at a
future meeting. A vote being ordered
the following were found to have re-
ceived the plurality vote. w. II.
Shepherd Is, p. Hammer IL, l.. f..
Potter 8, &. ID. b. Booth 8, Il. b.
Brown 8, they were declared elected.
Adjournment was taken subject to call
of the committee,
Communication has been received
from Audubon that they are elIecting
a similar organization and will soon
be ready to meet with our represent
atives. 1t is expected that a joirt
meeting will be held here or at Audu
bon soon.
The committee are gratified at the
way our citizens are responding, They
reported that only two business houses
had handed the Lemon" so far which
is pretty good but is two to many.
1t is expected that the farmers will
come up with goodly contribution
and the fund may be easily made up
to $4,000 90. 1t is not expected that
preliminary survey will cost to exceed
$1,000, and the expectation is that a
survey will be made at once from
where the Audubon survey touches the
Shelby county line near Kimballton
to Harlan. Harlan American.

court. The fine should have been based
on settlements between the railroad
and the oil company. OF these there
were just SO. The maximum fine on
this basis would amount to but $780,
600 and the minimum $36,O0O-the lat
ter figures being considerably lower
than the S223, 600 which the Standard is
alleged to have received as rebates on
the shipments in question
In the event a rehearing is denied,
the government may go to trial on the
original indictment, containing 1852
counts-an action which United States
District Attorney Sims could be ready
to take within two weeks-or upon any
one Of seven other indictments, contain
ing 4,422 counts. AS vast amount of
work has been done on the case just
recorded it is unlikely that an entirely
new case will be instituted.
Another move which may be made
by the federal authorities is to transfer
the prosecution from this jurisdiction
to the western New York district or to
the eastern Tennessee district. In
these two districts the government in
vestigation led to indictments, contain
/ ing about 1000 counts, against the
Standard oil company.
EPITOME OF DECISION
The most striking portion of the de-
cision epitomizing the attitude of the
court was as follows:
Counsel for the government say, in
concluding their brief, that the Ell5ins
act was passed because the peace of
society and the welfare of the people
demanded 1t; that railroad inequality
means business ruin to all except those
powerful enough to make themselves
the beneficiaries of the determinations;
means the wiping out OF an industry, of
a town, OF a city, at the command of
officers of a private corporation; that
railroad inequality is the basis of
monopoly and the wrongful concentra-
tiOn of wealth; that no law of more
vital Importance was ever passed by
congress, and that those guilty of vio-
lating it are guilty of a serious crime
against the priciples of industrial free
dom and equality.
Every sentence of this arraignment
is true. That this court recognizes the
importance of the enforcement of that
act is shown in its af1rmance of penal
ties that under other circumstances
would be regarded as very severe But
the interstate commerce act, important
as that law is, is not the only law
under which we live.
we live under a guaranty that
reaches back to the beginning of ouI
law. and is securely planted in every
constitution OF civilized government
/ that no one snail De punished until Ht
has been heard, and above this funda-
mental guaranty there can be set nc
higher prerogative, for let it once come
to pass that, under the stress Of en-
forcing equality, any power in the gov
ernment may override the Fundamental
right OF being judged only after hav-
ing been duly tried-a right just as
| essential in the associated relation o1
corporation as to men in the relation
ship of copartnership, or to men indi-
vidually-there will remain no com
merce worth the name to safeguard
The beginning of commerce is consti-
tutional government and the foundation
of constitutional government is the
faith that every guaranty of our insti-
tutions no matter what the provocation
will be sacredly observed"

Is MILE WALL OF FLAME
SWEEPS COAST FORESTS
Great Fires Started by Careless
Hunters Do Heavy Damage
and Menace Towns
SPECIAL DIsPATCH no THR CALL

SANTA ROSA. July 22.-All of the
coast section included between the
head waters of Dry creek and Ukiah
is reported to be swept by immense
forest fires. Several fires have been
started by hunters during the last
few days, and these have burned to-
gether until they now form solid
mass of flames extending for 10 or 10
miles along the coast range.
Hundreds of men are out fighting the
flames. The largest blaze is located
back of Geyser peak to the north
and there have been many thousands
of acres of fine timber land burned
over and immense damage done within
the last few days. The heavens to
the north of here are filed with i'm
mense clouds of smoke and the atmos-
phere for several days has been very
oppressive and hot.
The fire has burned to within 10
miles of Cloverdale and the heat is
intense. The flames are so vast that
they can be seen from that city. AL
ready 10000 grape stakes have been
burned near Hermitage and there are
many thousand pickets being destroyed
in that vicinity.
