The rascals in New York that have
been cheating through the Customs
House to the extent of millions, are
after Collector Loeb, They repre-
sent hundreds of millions of dollars.
No previous collector has had the
nerve to make them disgorge. I'm
less they succeed in overthrowing

OF them are on their way to Wash
ington with charges against the COL
lector. They will see the President.
Who are these people? They are
New York millionaire importers,
whose thefts have been detected.
They are backed by thousands of
their customers, and also by thous-
ands of tourists, who have been
smuggling in smaller way, but the
aggregate of whose thefts through
smuggling amounts to millions, It
is but another phase of the tariff
question. Under the common law,
a man, merchant or a woman has
right to purchase where he or she
Ileases and to sell without restric-
tion, but the tariff, which has reach
ed a monstrous development in this
country, imposes restrictions un-
heard of in the annals of trade, with
the result that the man, merchant
and the woman are beating the law.
Against this formidable array of
smugglers, big and little, Collector
Loeb stands upon the tariff law. He
undoubtedly ought to have the sup
port of the administration. There
is some question as to the methods
by which he has detected these great
and aristocratic smugglers, but does
not the end justify the means? Will
the government stand by to the last?
If not, the procession of smugglers

view President Taft will return to-
New York and resume their profit

Bank Insurance in Iowa.

Attorney General Byers' opinion
that insurance to protect banks
against loss on deposits, stocks
bonds, safety deposit box contents.
etc., is lawful under the laws of
Iowa is being misinterpreted vari-
ously.
Some newspapers seem to have
the impression that insurance COM
panies may insure the individual
depositor against loss by reason of
bank failures. This is an error.
The company which sought char
ter from the state is organized Ito
insure the safe-keeping of books,
papers, moneys, stocks, bonds, and
all other personal property belonging
to persons, firms and corporations,
and deposited with state, national
and private banks and trust COM
panies, and to receive them on de-
posit."
There is no provision for the in
suring of individual depositors. The
protection the insurance shall afford
will be to the bank and the bank
will pay a premium for it as bank
now pays burglar, or fire, insurance
premiums.
All banks have evidences of credit
in the form of currency notes. stocks,
bonds, ETC., of great value. If these
are lost or destroyed by fire, or
stolen. the bank cannot recover on
them and must stand their loss.
1t is to provide insurance against
this loss that the insurance company
is formed.
A thief might, for illustration,
gain entrance to safety deposit
vault and make away with the con-
tents of innumerable boxes. In this
case the bank would have to make
good the loss to the box-holders. If,
however, the bank carried insurance
against loss in the safety deposit
vault, the insurance company and
not the bank would stand the loss.
The new form OF insurance is
also against dishonesty in employees.
Now the latter are bonded, but the
total sum of their thefts may exceed
the amount of the bond, and what
ever the excess the bank would lose
1t is good public policy to have
it, But insured in the proposed
company, the insurance company
such an insurance company. for it
means new and selfish element in
the examination of banks and the
supervision of officers and employees.

BUY OUT TWO STORES.
Decorah Furniture Co. Buy Henry
Ness and Fred Walter Stores
and Begin Business in
DeCOrah.

Last week we announced the de-
cision of the gentlemen who had
been here for several days looking
over the city to lease the three-story
Rudolph block and remodel it for
their use as large modern house
furnishing establishment.
During the week the deal was
closed by them for the purchase of
the furniture stores of Henry Ness,
next to the National Bank of De-
corah, and Fred Walter, opposite the
Stiles Hotel. Both stocks were pur-
chased, and Mr.. Ness has been en-
gagged by the new company to assist
them as salesman in their new store.
Announcement is made that both of
these two stocks of furniture will
be closed out in special sale opening
tomorrow, the desire of the company
being to sell them both out COM
pletely before opening their new es-
tablishment.
: 1t is expected that the Rudolph
block will be remodeled and ready
for them to open between the first
and fifteenth of January. Mr. A..
LeytZe, who will have charge of the
concern, will be assisted by Mr.. H.
Schremser, an experienced and ca
pable undertaken and funeral di-

THE HEART OF THE RAILROAD
EVIL.

The most important mater for the
next session of Congress to consider
is what might be called the very
heart of the railroad evil, the ten
dency to over-capitalization. Here is
where the bulk of dishonest for
tunes have been made. A new rail-
road sells bonds enough to pay for
it's construction, then It issues stock
on top of those bonds, representing
nothing but water and air plus the
roads franchise-a free gift from
the public-and the right to control
the policies of the road. The pub
lie ought not to expect to pay divi-
dends on the stock, under these cir
cumstances. But it has to, for rail-
road rates are usually made high
enough to pay dividend on this
capitalized vacuum.
President Taft has urged the TAX
ing up of this matter, and the giving
to some tribunal the power to pass
on future issues of stock and bonds.
Gross evils existing in over-capitaliz-
alton can hardly be upset without a
financial crash, but. the American
people by prompt action can be
saved from bearing any increased
burdens.
