Things Political

TAFT GAlRBLES GUARANTY ISSUE
Down in Kentucky Mr.. Taft tricd
to tell the people that Mr.. Bryan
Is advocating the guarantee of bank
deposits as ''panacea for every
thing" and then Mr.. Taft SO far
forgot his dignity as IA candidate for
president that he impugned the hon
esty OF men engaging in the banking
business in Oklahoma. He also de-
elared that to guarantee banks was
a scheme "to make every respectable
honest banker become the security
OF anybody that desires TO go into
the banking business with the idea of
getting large line OF deposits with
a very small capital" adding also
fGnd the result of that don't think
1t takes a very clear-headed man to
see"
Mr. Taft seems to be Just about
as reckless in his statements as a
candidate for president, as our own
popular CD Ex-Governor Myron
l1errick has been in discussing the
same subject, the difference being
that Herrick is actuated by selfish
motives while Mr.. Taft is merely
playing the part of bugler for others
having such selfish motives.

the Fowler currency bill before con-

Unfortunately for Mr.. Taft. f)r-
mer Republican secretary of treas
ury, Lyman j. Gage was clcar-heid-
ed enough to say before the house
committee on banking and finance
that as result Of this voluntary
action by Chicago banks, II can tell
you as safe prophecy that we are
at the end of disastrous failure in
the city of Chicago by clearing
house banks since this regime has
come in"
II this plan is good for the lear
ing house banks IN Chicago, why
isn't It good for all banks and for the
whole nation under proper regula-
tion by the government? III
Nor does Mr.. Taft tell his hearers
that the Merchants association OF
New York city took three separate
actions while the Fowler currency
bill was before congress, to express
its approval Of that feature of the
bill which provided for the guaranty
of deposits Surely Mr.. Taft cannot
believe that the business men in the
Merchants Association of New York
city were not clear headed in this
matter.
Mr.. Taft cannot answer Mr. Bry-
ans arguments IN favor of bank guar
antee by ridicule or m!srepresenla-
tion. Mr.. Bryan does not advocate
bank guarantee as a 'panacea for
everything" but he does agree with
high authorities that IL would be
panacea for the people in time of
financial stringency as well as
panacea for the bankers under just
such conditions as followed the Walsh
failure in Chicago.
II Mr.. Taft doesn't believe 1t. let
him go talk to the people at Niles
and Dresden and Newark and Nor
walk and a number Of other cities
in Ohio where both bankers and peo-
pie have needed panacea of this
kind.

AN bNDDF'ENShBIlE DEFENSE.
A feeble effort was made by the
Ohio State Journal to defend Cover
nor Harris on the question raised as
to the governors interest in two
banks in his hcme city favored by
the State Depository board, consist
Ing of the State Treasurer. State
Auditor and Attorney General, with
deposits Of state funds. The Journal
says: whether the governor knew
there was such an account In that
bank or not, We don't know; but we
do know that his stock was so
small that II wouldn't amount to q
hill of beans whether there was or
not" f."
IL the Journal doesn't know whether
the governor knew there were de-
posits In banks In which he is finan-
clally Interested, how can the Jour
nal know that his interest was 81
small that 1t wouldn't amount to
hill of beans" whether there was or
not?
The Journal shows the same dispo-
sition which the governor has exhibited
from the beginning of exposures at
the state house-it knows what It
wants to know and doesn't know what
It ought to know.
But the question Is DID GOVERN
OR HARRIS KNOW that state funds
We're being deposited in the two
banks at Eaton, Ohio, In which he Is
stockhoder?
Governor Harris has not denied
such knowledge. but he did try to
make 1t appear les obnoxious to the
people OF Ohio by saying that the
amount deposited in elch OF these
two banks Is only $4,000, where
as State Treasurer McKinnon's report
to the legislature In March shower
that each of these two banks had
$685. 900 of state funds on deposit.
Whatever the financial interest of
the governor In these two banks,
both the governor and The State
Journal carefully avoid the real point
at issue. The principle involved Is
the same whether Governor Harris
owns one share of stock or ten
shares or hundred shares or any
number of shares; and whether the
banks in which he Is thus financial
ly interested have 81 or S1G,or 800
or $4,000 or $4,000, or $4,000 of
the states funds on deposit The
legislature Of Ohio was trying 10 as
certain from the State Treasurer in 4
what banks the peoples money was
deposited how much and at what
rate of interest. The Treasurer re-
fused at first to give such infcrma-
ton and when the facts were being
uncovered by investigating commit
tees Governor Harris used the power
OF his high office to aid an attempt
