of depositors and will assist banks
in distress. This scheme, is of course,
intended to meet the competition Of
the state bank deposits, under the
famous law first adopted in Oklahoma
and which has been so enthusiastical-
ly advocated by Mr. Bryan.
This action on the part of Kansas
bankers was presumably responsible
for the opinion given out by At
torney General Wickersham last
week, holding that national bank
has a legal right to insure its assets
against loss. A form of insurance
policy by company proposed to
be organized" was also submitted
to him and approved, with some
changes in phraseology.
According to the attorney general
the contract in the form of policy
submitted is in effect an agreement
to pay the bank any deficiency in
it's assets upon ultimate realization
necessary to enable it to pay all OF
its liabilities of every kind. One
paragraph apparently committed
the bank t. profit-sharing feature
which might be contended to entail
a corresponding liability for losses.
He advised the elimination of this
paragraph.
Another provision of the policy
subjects the bank to an examination
by the examiners of the insurance
company, without notice, and at
such times as the company may
elect, one of such examinations to
be within each period of six months
covered by the policy and its re-
newals. Arizona Republican.

consolidate; and, if they did so,
there is no certainty that the COM
bined district would vote bonds to
build a new building. The failure
of any one of these contingencies
would defeat the whole scheme, and
Stafford would be left without hope
of obtaining the building room so
necessary now. Of course, the
Board had Mr.. Crosby's assurance
that he could control Layton, but it
had no one to agree to control
Stafford.
Second-Should the scheme have
carried according to Mr.. Crosby's
elaborate plans, in the construction
of the new building Layton would
have paid on an assessment of $780,
600, while Stafford would have paid
on an assessment of $3.50, 900. Over
four times as much as Layton
would have to pay. And Layton
has nearly one-half as many school
children as Stafford to educate. Fur
ther, Stafford would have surren-
dered a paid for building, worth
$4,000, while the Layton property
surrendered would not amount to
one-sixth that sum
Third-The people of Stafford
would not agree to the abandonment
of our present building or to ma
terial change in its location. And
as to the proposition of using it as
a high school building, we have no
high school, and there is no assur-
ance that we will be able for years
to come to carry the proposition of
a high school, or to vote the taxes
necessary to maintain the same.
For these cogent reasons the SAT-
ford School Board We're forced with

way EG, looV.
EDITOR GUARDIAN-A large per
cent. of your readers would like to
know whether the postoffice is es-
tablished for the convenience and
accommodation of the people general
ly, or to give a few individuals a
position and salary. Also what are
the steps usually taken to effect a
change in postmasters. A READER.
In reply to the above we would
state that postoffices are established
for the benefit of the people and
not for the purpose of creating an
easy position for an individual.
When a postmaster (who is a public
servant), neglects his duties, charges
can be brought against him and filed
with the Postmaster General in
Washington, D. G. An inspector
will be sent out to investigate and
report to his superior. To secure a
change in postmasters, if the one
holding office is not competent, the
people can prefer charges of in
competency, which must, of course,
be proven. Another way would be
to select some one else for postmast-
er, one who is competent and able
to intellegently perform the duties
of postmaster, and secure indorse.

Making Los Angeles Burglar
Proof.

TO make Los Angeles burglar proof
Is one of Chief Dishman's laudable
ambitions. He realizes darkness is
one of crimes chief aids and is es-
pecially essential to most of the sue
cessfully conducted burglarics which
are recorded. Chief Dishman is max
ing arrangements with the electric
lighting companies to have lights
burned all night on residence porchcs
In Los Angeles.
1t is believed if there was a light on
behind trees OF lurk on a piazza walt
ing for al innocent and unarmed pas
serby. Porch climbing would be al
most impossible if there was a porch
light, as a porch climber loves the
darkness rather than the light and
does not care TO be conspicuous.
Few burglars would have the nerve
to begin operations in Il glare. IN ad-
dition to adding to the safety of citi-
zens occupying homes, porch lights
would make the streets attractive at
night, instead of gloomy and cheer
less. Chief Dishman's p%oreh-light
plan is marked by great common
sense and ~sagacity Evidently u
