WHY NOT GET ToGETHERq

If a useless special session of the
legislature be brought te gether- this
sizzling hot weather tn; people viii
charge it up to the national bankers.
When the guaranty DEPOSIT law was
passed at the regular session certain
Of it's provisions, notably the one
limiting the guaranty of deposits 20
those drawing not m"re than 8 per
cent interest. were in difference to
conservative bankers, particularly ma
tiopal bankers.
The national bankers showed a dis
position and desire even to come il
under the law.
The governor, bank c"Inmissione"
and attorney general were all anxious
to aid the national bankers in this
respect. The three officers of state
made a special trip to Washington
advocating the interests OF the nation
al bankers. The government authori-
ties overru1ed them.
The national bankers then set about,
as they averred, to place themselves
on an equal footing with the state
banks, so that the latter should not
have an advantage over them in the
way of security of deposits. To this
end the national bankers organized
what they named as a Bankers Deposit
Guaranty and Surety company, by
which they proposed to insure deposits
in national or other banks and make
them equally guaranteed with deposits
in state banks protected by the state
law.
So far so good.
But certain national bankers overruIed
their own previous judgments and
statements and said we will not only
put ourselves on a par with the state
banks, but We will ''go them one bet
ter" We will guaranty all deposits
whether they draw 8, 4 or per
cent interest.
This little action which the state
Journal believes was unwise under all
the circumstances, and which it feels
certain a very large number of ma
tional bankers now believe was I'M
wise, set the state banks and national
banks at Ioggerheads again. In the
first place the state banks desired
the national banks to come in with
them. That being impossible. the
national bankers naturally took the
remedy into their own hands, but in
stead of bringing matters into har-
mony, which they set out to do and,
which was entirely within their pow
Sls l4lSS again put out OF
joint by refusing to conform with the
state guaranty law in their insurance
company. Now if the legislature must
be assembled it will surely do that
which the national bankers them
selves ought to do and not be driven
to do through special session:
namely, limit the power of the insur-
ance company to insure bank deposits
drawing more than 8 per cent inter-
est.
Why would it not be the nice thing
for the national bankers to stop this
special session business and do them
selves what is in their power to do
without compelling the cumbrous ma
chinery of the legislature to operate
in these hot months. The legislature
is with us often enough when it comes
once in two years. We do not need
Il every six months. If it gets to-
gether there is no telling what it may
not do. Must this state be in con-
tinual suspense in legislative matters?
We have too much legislation now,

A Mountain Of Rorax.

With the exception Of the Grand
Canyon, there is probably no more IA
nous locality in the west than Death
Valley, known as the ''vale below the
sea- and although there are a num-
Der of Mount BIancos in the Great
American Desert, the Mount Blanco
of Death valley is the greatest of its
name.
1t rises like an enormous white
breast against the terra Gotta ridge of
Funeral Range, close to Furnace
Creek Canyon, a great rent that cleaves
the east rampant of Death Valley.
Around it is a rolling waste of bald.
yellow hills, none of which is a mere
knoll, and it towers a good 1000 feet
above them. The lowland of Death
Valley, sinking for several miles west
ward, is probably $500 feet lower.
No one ledge or series of lodges
anywhere in the world contains the
immense amount of borate quartz
shown in the surface of this noun

measuring /, 700 feet in width and s.
600 feet in length, pitching into the
mountain range at 33-degree angle.
It is a borax quarry whose limitations
cannot be even roughly conjectured.
but it must exceed by thousands of
tons any known bOrate deposit.-De-

The thoughts that the present ex-
eremely hot weather is excellent for
the growing corn are poor consolation
for sweltering humanity, and partic-
uIarly that large portion of it that
hasn't any corn. But then large corn
crop win mean additional prosperity
for Kansas and as every person in the
state will share in some way in this
prosperity, kicks against the weather
are really out of place. And then it
might be worse.

Gold From sunken Spanish Ship.

In the most boisterous part Of
Mounts Bay, and almost unapproach-
able except by sea, lies Dollar Cove,
where for the past three months a
treasure seeking expedition, sent down
by London syndicate, has been quiet
ly working. The company of seekers
some three or four weeks ago sus-
pended operations in order to get more
powerful pumps and gear. These are
in working order, and although the
salvors have little to say about the
matter, they appear to be hopeful of
success. In the year 1888 a Spanish
ship went ashore there with about 20
tons of specie aboard.
Everybody who lives. on the coast
is familiar with the appearance of the
dollars, as large numbers have been
washed up on the beach from time to
time. Gold pieces are said to have
been discovered recently by people
walking on the beach.-London Chron-

THE CORPORATION TAX.
AS is pointed out by President Taft
in his message the adoption of tax on
corporations will accomplish a double
purpose.
In the first place it will nice
additional revenue which is needed to
run the country and will take it from
corporations who are given life and
power by the government.
In the second place in order to SUI
pervise the raising of and collection of
this tax the government will have to
go over the books of the corporation
and then get information that will be
useful in enacting legislation for the
proper control of the corporations in
their business.
The corporation tax has been a fav-
orite proposition with President Taft.
1t looks very sensible and sure. It will
do a lot of good beside the act of rails
ing money. Apparently the president
has tactfully bided his time until the
conditions in congress are such that
whatever he says on the tariff bill will
be accepted. The various interests in |
volved realize that Taft is fair and not
in the business to play politics or
gouge anybody. They almost gladly |
accept his suggestions because of his |
character and also because they are |
anxious to get through, which they can |
not do without the help of the prest- |
dent.-Hutchinson News.
