BANKS
GROWING RAPIDLY

continued from IakC Wnts
tlonal banks on approved collateral. and
considerable business is carried on with
commercial paper. Stocks and bonds
form part OF this collateral. and in
other cases notes bear the names Of re-
sponsible indOrsers. National banks do
not loan upon real estate or mortgages,
this branch OF business being carried on
by trust companies, savings banks, and
building and loan associations.
Mixing Of Banking Lines.
The trust companies and most Of the
savings banks of Washington carry on
commercial banking, their houses being
located where they naturally command
volume of such deposits. On bona tide
savings the savings banks pay per cent
interest The trust companies pay ? per
cent on check deposits, the latest one
formed paying per cent. On longtime
loans a larger interest is paid, and trust
companies invest money for their patrons
in various forms Of dividend and inter-
est-paying investments.
The trust companies as a rule carry on
a savings department similar to a savings
[
safe deposit department. a feature which
has been adopted by some az the national
banks, to the extent of furnishing special
lockers for stocks. bonds, and negotiable
paper.
Tends to Common Type.
In Washington. as in all parts OF the
country in the large commercial cities,
the banking business tends 10 a common

of functions which would not have been

upon financial institutions many things

ITS OTHER EXPERIENCED

It must have been in 1876 that there
was another riot i'm Pittsburg. The
state militia was called out to supple
ment the efforts of the police but the
strikers destroyed much property of the
Pennsylvania Railroad compauy-pur-
posely burning cars, warehouses and
bridges, and tearing up tracks.
When the strike was settled-and the
insslner of its settling has nothing to
do with this story-the railroad COM
pany had the damages viewed and as
sessed. and then brought suit against
the city of Pittsburg and against the
state of Pennsylvania. for the amount
destroyed And got judgment. and col
lected the money. The amount. if
memory De right. reached several mil
lions of dollars
The logic Of the situation is that the
state and the city are bound TO pre-
serve order and protect property; and
that where city and state fail in that.
they are liable in damages to him who
loses. state and city require taxes
from the company, and the money paid
on that account is devoted to maintain
ing the government Government means
protection and order. The obligation is
unacceptable.
If Pittsburg isn't careful, there will
be another bill for damages when the
strike shall have become history.

MAKE THE HOUR EARLY.

One detail of the visit of President
Taft to Salt Lake can be changed a
Ittle-tO the very great accommodation
of many of our people.
1t has been intended to have the
speaking service in the Tabernacle be-
gin at 10 o'clock; and that hour would.
under ordinary conditions, be most fit
ting for a presidential party. But the
day is Sunday, and if the service there
begins at 10 o'clock, few people who at
tend the Mormon churches can 20
without abandoning their own services
Most ministers will want to be present
at the Taft meeting, and they should
be there. But they can not do so if the
hour is set for ten.
If that hour could be fixed at nine in
stead of ten, it would be but little more
exacting on President Taft and his
friends, and would give every minister
and every member of his congregation
an opportunity to pay their respects by
their presence, and do themselves the
service of listening to a president of the
United States within our own common
wealth
We believe the hour osn be changed
without hardship on any one. We also
believe it would be a most happy soIu-
ton of problem which need not be
made vexatious.

IT is A SAFE GUIDE.

One Of the closest friends of Mr.. Har-
riman was asked by the interviewer if
the railroad man played as hard as he
worked. And the friend replied:
Does he play as hard as he works =?
To tell you the truth, I never saw him
play, except with his children. His chill
dren and his wOrk-these are his life
That is pretty safe guide to any
mans character. 1t will be remembered
that when Garfield was inaugurated. he
turned from kissing the Bible. in ac-
acknowledgement of the oath, and laid his
lips on the lips of his aged mother, who
sat iii the circle of his closest friends
through the ceremony. 1t was a fair
index to the character Of a man who
was truly great.
When President Mckinley was maxi
ing one of his very few trips across the
continent in company with Mrs. Nc
Kinley, the lady was attacked by a sud-
den illness. Never strong, she was un-
able to fight off the malady. and her
husband hurried home with her, aban-
doning his schedule, and foregoing that
intercourse with men Of the great west
because the wife of his youth needed
his care and attendance It was so
manly an act that it carried its own

ISAAC RUSSELL AND HIS TALENT.

In the current number of one of the
popular magazines-its popularity de-
pending rather more on cheapness than
on value of contributions-our old
friend Isaac Russell has an article about
Utah, and how Hartman and the Nor
mon church have the state in their
mereiless and destroying grip.
Ong passong. as we say in Marysvale,
Mr.. RusselPs article is not very good
literature It is of a quality which news
paper boys here in Salt Lake train
themselves out of as fast as they can.
And this is said the more cheerfully
because Mr.. Russell has done some eX-
cellent work i'm the past, and is not yet
old enough to have lost the art of it.
But as to the matter-the manner
having been disposed of-let US say that
Utah is getting along admirably, and
neither the Mormon church nor Mr.
Hartman seems to have the slightest
desire to wipe the state off the map
nor return It TO the desert condition in
which they and their like found it.
Utah, of course, is grateful for the
oudgel-wielding of any friend of the
state. And yet Utah would get along
quite as well, and possibly a little bet
ter, if its friends would quit holding
up the state to the rest of the states
as a victim. 1t isn't a victim, at all
And il doesn't need the sympathy or
succor Of any man from here to Mon
tauk Point.
So far from being an object of charity
Utah stands ready TO sell good land for
a little money to any one wko has the
courage common to Americans, and as
sure him that he can make a home
here that viii be worth having. He can
be assured that If ne has ability to
make living otherwhere, he can make
a fortune here in Utah. And he can
be free and independent without the
whip Of the church or the grip of the
corporations to modest him or make him
afraid.
There is more that might be said on
this subject But the main thing is
this: Utah doesn't need apology. And
if the gifted Mr. Russell would direct
his unquestioned talent to the writing
of a long article about the state and
then burn his copy. he would be rem
dering the only service for which he can
be asked withal.

AFTER THAT, A COMMISSION.

State Auditor Jewkes proposes to get
all the county assessors of the state
10 meet with him and others interested
in the tax matters, and see if they can
not find some better system both of
levying and collecting the taxes of the
state.
Nothing could be more helpful We
disclose no secret when we say the
revenue system of this state is bad. It
is almost as bad as il is in some other
states that have a habit of holding Utah
up to ridicule. There is no uniformity
of valuing, no uniformity in finding the
property, and no uniformity in the
clerical manner of doing the work
The end to be aimed at should be the
valuation OF every dollar of taxable
property in the state, the placing of
like rate on all of it, and the rigid col
lection of all the taxes accruing.
After the convention which Mr..
Jewkes proposes. it would be well for
the appointment of a tax commission
by the governor, the duty of which body
would be to go through the statutes of
Utah and get together all the tax laws,
revise and collate them-and then pre-
pare a new tax bill to be presented at
the next session of the legislature, with
the earnest mandate of the state to
make it law.
The time has come when Utah should
not be afraid of an honest statement Of
its taxable property, no matter if it
amounts to six hundred million dollars
worth.
And the DOGGY of a lower rate should
brighten no longer.
The state auditor is to be commended
for this move along the lines of dis
cussing revenue matters. The more our
people know of it, the sooner the pres
ent ridiculous and costly system viii
be abolished, and sound and effective
one will be substituted.

The Pottawatomies were pretty good
people. They didn't fight the white
men, and they have q chapel-in which
Catholic services were held for many
years before the white men discovered
how good the Menominee land was. The
address also discloses that the Indians

treaties gave them all the land for forty
