s302, ,OO0, or only 10 per cent of the failed banks deposits. Of this fund of s3O2, 900, he found that s5o,e00 was on deposit with the busted bank. It was truly embarrassing for him to confess that if one-sixth of the total guaranty fund was on deposit with good proof that his supervision of banks had not been altogether ef- ficient. But, never mind that: the depositors were all right anyhow. There were the other banks of the state upon which he could call for an emergency assessment of ? per cent of their deposits. as provided by the law, wherewith to replenish the hungry guaranty fund.
 In the Oklahoma vernacular, he said to the banks: Come across" But the banks refused to put up any assessment They claimed that they could not be assessed until the as- sets of the failed bank had been ex- hausted. And they are standing pat on that proposition.
 Inasmuch as the liquidation of a bank as large as the Columbia Bank and Trust company is necessarily a matter of several years in time, it re- quires no prophet to foresee that the depositors of the failed bank have a long wait before them, unless the state authorities devise ready means of relief.
 To be sure, the depositors have this advantage under the guaranty law: Ultimately, if the other banks can be lawfully assessed to pay the liabili- ties of the failed bank, the depositors will be paid in full. But this satis- factory feature of the present situa- tion would disappear in a time of panic-and it was to provide safety for depositors in periods of panic that the jaw was primarily advocated. Should two or three dozen banks fail. one after another. the guaranty law would speedily become a farce.
 It is to be expected that the au- thorities of Oklahoma, in order to justify this innovation in banking law, will make strenuous efforts to nrnx-idn n hn dannCif- ors of the failed bank at Oklahoma City; and if successful, they will merely postpone, until a time of stress, the real test of the scheme.

okIahoma's Guaranty Law.

The bank guaranty law of Okla homa has been touted as a long step toward the millennium The mere adoption of the scheme by Oklahoma was sufficient to lead regiments of enthusiastic lobb ists to besiege sun dry western legislatures to follow Oklahoma's lead. Overwhelmed by the stampede, the Kansas legislature did enact a guaranty law" which didn't guarantee much of anything, but all other legislatures, we believe, declined to fall into line. It seems that they acted wisely, in view of the developments in Oklahoma to date.
 A few days ago the Columbia Bank and Trust company, an institution at Oklahoma City. suspended. The bank had deposits to the amount of S3,0O0,- 900. Relying upon the states guar anty, the depositors of the failed bank went about their several occu- pations undisturbed, secure in the belief that within a day or two the great state of Oklahoma would fork over to them their respective shares of the s3.00O,OOO.
 This being the first failure of inn portance since the enactment of the guaranty law. the state bank com missioner joyously embraced the oc- casion as an opportunity to show the people how beautiful in its workings is their guaranty statute. Upon look ing into the situation, however, his own elation was succeeded by em- barrassment. He found that the en- tire guaranty fund amounted to

The Outlook for Copper.

To the people of Arizona one of the most gratifying features of the return of prosperity is the improved condition of the copper market. AL though the price of copper has not yet advanced very materially. all the trade experts agree that a strong ad- vance is one of the certainties of the near future.
 The Wall Street Journal quotes one of the recognized copper experts of the country as bearish in his views for the present, but extremely opti- mistic as to the future:
 Tt would not surprise me in the least if there was a repetition of the current upward movement in iron and steel in the copper metal mar ket within the next three or four months. I know that consumers are carrying very little copper. and when they begin to lay in stocks for de- livery in the first half Of next year. the metal is bound to advance in price. It may be a repetition on a smaller scale of the movement in cop per in 1906. Naturally, 9 cent copper is not anticipated. owing to heavy production and the large Amer ican and European stocks. How ever, I would not be in the least sur prised to see electrolytic copper sell ing considerably above 15 cents pound next January. There is no getting around the fact that con- sumption is gradually getting near production. When consumption does equal production, an enhancement in copper prices cannot be prevented. We are producing more copper than ever before in history, but at the same time believe that this country is consuming as much, if not more. than ever before. With steel and other branches of business moving. it would be foolhardy to predict sta- tionary and reactionary conditions in copper"

Mir. Taft,s Old Sweetheart

It is not likely that MT. Taft will be able. at any point on his trip, to say a more interesting thing To- cally than he said at Yakima, Wash ington. An old sweetheart of mine lives here" he said to the crowd. Im- mediately there was such a buzz Taft's remarks were scarcely heard. Who is she?" Do you know her?9 were the questions that flew back and forth. Special dispatches say that this bit of news created a remarkable commotion among the ladies present. And it may be taksn for gra,..ed that the men were quite as curious as the women.
 It was not long. of course, until the identity of the lady became known. She is a most estimable widow, and the boosters for the Yakima country are careful to tell us that "she has made a fortune in the apple busi- ness"
 Much as the lady doubtless esteems the president, she will have occasion to regret the incident-when the Sun day editors begin clamoring for her picture to print in their supplements. If photographs are not Forthcoming the portraits of other ladies will be substituted by the yellow press and long stories about her, more or less imaginary, will be published. To have been an early sweetheart of boy who afterwards became president will give her prominence that she will he far from liking.

The kibbey Record.

The Douglas Dispatch, in discuss ing the future of statehood, makes the remarkable assertion that the statehood bill would have become a law at the short session of last win ter if Governor Kibbey had properly looked after the measure.
 The distortion and coloring of news is only too common. and is wholly in- excusable in any paper. The distor- ton of important history is even worse-and the statehood history of Arizona is important. The ir1plica- tion that Governor Kibbey in any manner neglected the. statehood bill last winter, or at any time. is un- just, and without excuse, for what he did is matter of common knowl- edge
 The governor made two trips to Washington last winter, for the sole purpose of looking after the state hood bill. With the chairman of the house committee. in December. he went over the proposed bill. section by section, and the bill as passed by the house was very largely the bill he had urged upon the commit tee. Whether a bill satisfactory to the committee, and to Arizona as well, would have been passed by the house last winter had Governor Kib- bey not interested himself is, of course, a speculative question.
 When the bill was under considera- tion by the senate leaders. the gov ernor again visited Washington and urged upon them the advisability of favorable action at that session His emphatic stand in favor of immediate action was taken in conference with senators who had before them his renomination as governor; and in- asmuch as some of them were hos tile to statehood at that session, it is a safe guess that he injured his chances of confirmation by boldly taking issue with them on the state hood question.
 It is a further fact of history that during neither of his visits to Wash ington did Governor Kibbey make the slightest effort to secure the con- firmation of his nomination to be governor-either with senators, or through the president; he devoted his energies and attention solely to the statehood bill It is also a fact that while he was unselfishly work ing for the interests of Arizona, and without regard to his personal in- terests, the democratic press of the territory. and not a few politicians, were doing their utmost to discredit him with senators.

As an objection to the Taft plan to issue bonds for the completion of irrigation works. eastern papers are pointing out that Senator Newlands predicted, when his bill became a law, that the reclamation scheme would always be automatically self supporting. What if the senator did say it? Can't a man change his mind? And anyhow, the administra- tion is not bound in any way by what somebody prophesied.

Dooly has tried for eight years to
get rid Of the COW, but her fame has
