HOW SENATORS VOTED
ON THE TARIFF BILL

The following table, taken from
Golfers for August %, is given
here to show what influence one
man can have in a body of men
that are selected to represent the
people, especially when these men
are elected not by the people, but
by small bodies of men, and yet
we connot point with pride to the
records of Piles and Jones in the
matter, even if the people did, in a
way, elect Jones themselves.
The record shows that Jones
voted with Aldrich 80 ii mes i,
against him ten times and he failed
to vote either way thirty times.
Piles voted with Aldrich one
hundred three times, against him
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-11-25

seveu times and failed to vote either
way nineteen times.
No one, as we view the matter,
can assume that either Jones or
Piles represented the people of
Washington, regardless of party,
by their votes on the present tariff
law. Every vote they cast with
Aldrich, according to our concep-
ton, was cast in the interests OF
the trusts and combinations, whose
are directly opposite to
those OF the great masses. Voters
would do well to cut this vote out
and study it carefully, and when
these fellows bob up for office again
YOU will have their record before

closed.
The closing of the Columbia
Bank and Trust Company took
place on September 20 this year.
Immediate payment was begun,
and every claim presented and
sworn to was paid in the order in
which it has been presented during
the ten banking days that have en-
sued, and the Columbia Bank and
Trust Company, under charge of
the state banking board and COM
missioner, has been open regular
banking hours or longer every day,
and will so continue to the end.
That gives you two bank failures
in twenty-five months.
Now kindly advise me on what
theory you claim that the Okla
homa banking law is a humbug,
and promotes bad banking' Have
YOU got any record anywhere else
where out of over six hundred
banks YOU have less than one tail

reckless bankers or humbugs, | beg
that YOU will begin by explaining
the Walsh failure in Chicago and
the Bgelow failure and dozens
of others within the shadow OF
your own printing office, where a
bank failure means a riot on the

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct 18, 1909
Editor The Commoner: There is
an impression abroad that the re-
cent Oklahoma bank failure dem
onstrated the weakness of the
guaranteed bank deposits law. My
conviction is the reverse. Can t
you give US a series of articles
showing its beneficial effect

Gov. Haskell's letter on this
very svbject to the editor of the
Wall Street Journal will answer
Mr.. Haughton S question:

Journal, New York City, n. V
Sir: In your issue of Oct 2, refer
ring to the closing of the Columbia
Bank and Trust Company of Okla
homa City as our state board, | ex-
tract the following:
The bank is confronted with
the necessity of paying its deposit
tors in full, irrespective of the in
debtedness of the depositors to the
bank. and to do so it is necessary
to call upon the other banks of Ok
lahoma, who do not show that alaC-
nty in paying up that Gov. Has
kell would doubtless like -
The above statement is false.
Depositors are paid only the bal
ance of their account after deduct
ing their Indebtedness to the bank,
which IS the same as a solvent Oper-
rating bank would do. The state
oankers pay assessments promptly
on sight draft.
Again you say:
1t has been said in these col
umns before that the guaranty OF
Dank deposits is either premium
W bad banking or a humbug. In
oklahoma it is a premium on bad
@nklng. The suspended institu-
uon actually had on deposit one

amount of the plaintiffs claim in
cash to deposit in the hands of the
clerk of the court, subject to the
final finding of the federal judge as
to the merits of the plaintiff
claim.
| do not expect to induce YOU to
ConCcde that the authorities of the
state of Oklahoma have any rights
whatever. We have come to know
that YOU and the element in which
you circulate can not accomplish
your ordinary purpose i'll life
through the instrumcntality of
governmental machinery selected
by the people, and therefore your
readiness to condemn us but beg
to assure you of one thing: | am
proud of my record as a public
official for nearly three years in
Oklahoma. The people of Okla
homa are satisfied and the fact that
the Wall street Journal persistently
condemns me is a source of great
satisfaction to me.
There is but one thing to add;
theorize all you will about the viz
tue of the national banking law;
criticise all YOU like about the pol
icv of the Oklahoma banking law,
but the fact remains that in Okla
homa state banks, creditors can
get their money any day on de
mand. In a failed national bank
he can't get his money anywhere
in the union short of several
months, and in many instances in
several years, and then usually in
such small partial payments as to
be the equivalent only of ordinary
interest per annum on his deposits,
with no hopes of essr getting the
=
principal.
Oklahoma can handle a failed
bank without the slightest disorder
on the street or in the bank; police
men are not required to preserve
order. Local business is not sus
pended by the tieing up of bank
funds. We need no antidote for
fever throughout the state OH such
occasions.
You are not entitled to critiCise
the Oklahoma law until you can
show that the law YOU favor pro
duces equally commendable results
Very truly yours,

STANDPATTERS VS.
THE INSURGENTS

| last days or StanupdtlSln, THAT
Fat One was sent into the land to
teach the heather how to become
Standpatters and grow fat.
The Fat One was put aboard a
train at Washington, which is
down by the sea, and told to go
J forth and tell the people what a
blessing it was to revise the tariff
up instead of down.
The Fat One was given written
speech for each separate place so
there might not be disCOrd in his
utteranCes.
Amidst the blare of trumpets and
heralds, the Fat One was escorted
to the place of starting and pushed
out for the wild and woolly west,
where grow the Insurgents with
thorns sticking out like unto the
wild honey locust.
At town called Winona, which
is in the land of Freedom, where
the Insurgent grows to immense
size, and wakes strong and COM
batve, did the Fat One stop and
unfold his manuscript.
Yea, verify, verify. said the Fat
One, we have become mixed up
with the ungodly and unclean.
Yea, verify, verify, We have be-
come as Democrats knowing good
from evil, and want us to do the
good.
Verify, verify, We believe that
the people have rights which
trust is bound to respect.
Yea, verify, l say unto you that
We should obey whatever my disci-
pies, Nelson w. and Joseph say
unto you. For are they not good
and wise?
Yea, verify, are they not my
apostles chosen by the trusts to
look out for the people while the
trusts have their hands in their
pockets
Oh, we ungodly followers of La
Toilette, you are democrats.
Yea, you act just like them be-
cause they demand that the trusts
keep their hands out of their
pockets SO that they may provide
for their own.
Oh, woe unto you, for you are
the ungodly followers of LaFol-
lette, and because of this are like
unto the democrats.
And l command unto you that
you give up your heresy and be-
lieve it is right to break a platform
pledge and revise the tariff upward.
Yea, verify, you are not good re-
publiCans but are consOrting with
ungodly democrats.
Yea, verify, we have a monster
pork barrel and if you do not re-
nouuce your heresy and be good
republicans you cannot have slice
of pork.
Have we not the right me and
my disciples, Nelson w. and
Joseph-have we not the right we
say, and the money, too, to make
the right revision of the tariff.
Yea, is it not right and meet that
we look well after the trusts who
furnish the pork to put in the CAM
paign barrel?
Yea, verify, did not the lumber
trust, the steel trust and Standard
Oil and all the little brood and
big brood of trusts come through
with the money to defeat Bryan
and LaFollette?
Yea, verify, they have the mon
ey and you have the votes which
we must buy and to get the money
we must revise the tariff upward.
Oh, We stiff neCked people, We
must bow to me and my disciples
or we will cast you into outer
darkness with the democrats.
| will send unto you another that
is greater than I. Yea, verify, |
will send my beloved disciple, Mel
son w., in whom l am we'll
pleased. He is all wisdom and
goodness.

to convert it into cash in six hours
Again you say:
A bank which needs a guaranty
has no title to be in business at all. -
This is unworthy of space for an
swer. further than to ask your
readers to reflect on the miserable
failures that have occurred under
the national law you have attempt
cd to sustain.
Again you state:
A dishonest director, exerCis-
ing the necessary power on the f.
nance committee, could discount
his worthless note of hand, matur-
ing year ahead, with his bank,
credit his deposit account with the
amount, suspend the bank and re.
ceive in full the amount of his 6c-
ticious deposit from the other
banks.
Now, Mr.. Editor, under separate
cover | am sending you a copy of
the Oklahoma bank law. No such
condition could be accomplished
under our law. You have simply
been reading Ike national banking
law and have gotten our state law
mixed in your mind by comparison.
OF course, men can rob a guar
anteed bank just as they can rob
any other class of property, but
under the Oklahoma law they have
to do it on very short notice to
even get started away with the
goods.
Your general statement that the
Oklahoma law encourages weak
b anking, | would ask you to adj
wise yourself. There are class of
people, among whom there may be
some editors, who form the habit
of speaking first and thinking af-
forwards. This is bad practice.
You should quit it. You will dis
credit your newspaper.
There has never been a quarterly
report since the Oklahoma law was
passed that does not show ConClu-
sivelv that the state banks of Okla
hOma are stronger than any other
class of banks in the state. | do
not mean to say that the other
class of banks are not sufficiently
strong, but | do mean to say that
the Oklahoma state banks are ex-
ceptionally strong.
In your issue of Oct. 7, you have
the following
Both the governor and the bank
commissioner of Oklahoma, who
are disobeying a restraining order
of the United Slater court sitting
at Guthrie, in regard to paying de-
positors of the failed Columbia
bank, may in the end acquire a
very wholesome respect for the fed
eral court. Disobeying an order
of the United States court is dan
gerous. y
You have obviously copied this
paragraph from the petition filed
in the United States court and the
motion for citation in the case re-
ferred to. There is no other source
from which you could have aCquir-
ed any such statement of fact. In
the first place the attorneys who
brought the suit are the same at
torneys who have the case pending
in the United States Supreme
court, appealed from our state
to destroy the state banking law.
They secured client, nOn-resi-
dent of our state, with a twenty
five thousand dollar certificate of
deposit on the Columbia Bank ard
Trust Company. Protest against
the payment of this certificate had
been filed with me. We asked the
holder to verify the genuineness of
his claim under oath. His counsel
did not see fiji to do this, but pro.
ceeded to Guthrie and instituted
their cause-not for the purpose of
getting their money, but for the
purpose of discrediting the law, a
sentiment which imagination might

j. C. Kinney, the Wibaux-G Glen
dive banker, has recently taken a
decided stand in the public prints
in favor Of the farmer, as
against the stockmen. While he
processes undying affection for the
latter class, he has at last had his
eyes opened to the fact that it
must retreat before the onward
march Of the farmers and retire
with it's flocks and herds to the
untillable lands. For Wibaux
man this is taking dose Of med
icine right.

officials Of the Russell-Miller Mil.
ing company states that, all rum.
ors to the contrary notwithstand-

erect its big mill here next spring,
and that the huge elevator, now
practically completed. will be con.
Quoted as an elevator only until the
time the mill is completed. The
elevator will be operated under
another name than that of the

cuttin' out bullet or tryin' to stop

"That's just what would unsteady
me-" replied the doctor.
This statement was received with a
stare Of WONDER and the conversation
turned upon other topics. Tom Biglow
spoke of his future with as much con-
fidence as If he were not going within
an hour to be one Of two targets for a
dead shot. When that hour had passed
and the dawn had developed into
broad daylight, leaving Biglow, the
two others mounted and cantered
down the road for a mile, when the
doctors pilot stopped.

After awhile they saw first one fig

another on the opposite crest. Both
advanced and when they thought they
were within range fred a couple Of
shots each, but they were too far apart
for execution. At that moment a man
and woman came riding furiously
across the plain.

Growth Of Pity.

No one formerly looked on with any
pity or even horror at punishments
which are now found too dreadful for
description. Men were broken on the
wheel, were burned at the stake, were
racked, were cut up alive. No one
seems to have felt any pity for their
agonies. Men were put into noisome
prisons. where, with bad air and in
sufficient food, they died unnoticed
and unpitied. 1t is very different now.
Human hearts are more tender.
