BuslNEssL,xE DEPOSIT INSURANCE.

Mr.. A. o. Hauge, cashier of the Trust
and Savings Bank, of Des Moines, has
proposed a businessike and simple
plan of insuring bank deposits which
would avoid the faults of government
guarantee and at the same time Of
fectually guarantee deposits Of banks
to such an extent that no depositor
need ever lose a cent deposited in an
insured bank in Iowa. He says:
81 would propose that the Legislature
pass law that would make possible
an Iowa bank insurance commission,
with all the Objectionable features OF
the Oklahoma law eliminated. Make it
possible to organize an Iowa bank in
surance commission with the follow
ing terms:
holders, each holding stock equal to
not less than per cent of its capital
and surplus.
"Capital stock to be increased as the
deposits of the state increase.
Crate of insurance to be fixed by
legislation.
"Compensation of officers in charge
to be fixed either by the legislature or
the state executive council.
Board of directors to consist of the
governor, the secretary of state, the
treasurer of state and the state audi
tor, with five others to be elected by
the bank stockholders.
Cash reserve to be in the han Is
of the treasurer of state, and the
amount of such reserve to be fixed by
legislation. based on the amount If
insurance in force.
every bank to pass the most rigid
examination by the officers of the com :
mission before any insurance is grant
ed to such bank.
reports on file in office of auditor
of state to be subject to examination
by the officers of this commission.
CALI funds in excess of the limit for
reserve fixed by legislation to be in
vested in Iowa farm loans on the basis
of not to exceed 40 per cent of the ac-
tual cash value, exclusive Of buildings,
of such farms.
mo dividends to be declared in ex-
cess of per cent per annum.
'"This law to be framed in such a
way as to benefit national as well as
state, and savings banks, should such
banks desire this benefit"
Mr. Hauge has great faith in the
practicability of his plan, as he says:
81 have discussed the plan with a
number of lawyers as well as with
well-known conservative bankers Of

ALLISON MONUMENT COMMITTEE
General Dodge Selects Iowa Men to
Promote Bio UNDERTAKING,

| Cen Granville M. Dodge, of Coun-
| Gil Bluffs. chairman of the Allison
monument committee. has announced
a list of prominent citizens of Iowa to
assist in carrying out the work and
soliciting donations within the state.
Five are named at large and every
county in the state is represented upon
the district lists. w. W. Morrow,
treasurer of state, has agreed to serve
as treasurer for the Allison fund in
Iowa and all donations are to be for
warded to him at Des Moines. Each
committeeman is authorized by Gen
eral Dodge to appoint subcommittee
so that thorough canvass may he
made for the purpose of securing funds
for the erection of a monument to Sem
ator Allison at the state capital.
In his letter announcing the COM
mittees, General Dodge says in part:
II earnestly request that each COM
mitteeman Immediately organize his
county and have it ready to canvass,
SO that March 2, Senator Allison's
birthday, shall be known as Allison
day, when a statewide popular giving
can be inaugurated.
Il also suggest that the principals
of all our public schools and the heads
of the various institutions of learning
give their support to this work and
obtain from each attendant a dona-
ton, no matter how small as they all
are greatly indebted to the work of
Senator Allison in laying the founda-
tions and building up our magnificent
edifices of learning in this state.
I'VE shall go before congress and
the state legislature asking them TO
supply the location and the pedestals
for each of the monuments and the
amount of the subscription received
will govern the character of the me-
MORALS. Our desire is to make this a
great public subscription and we will
endeavor to give every citizen in the
state an opportunity to pay this just
tribute to Senator Allison.
Il shall be pleased to hear often from
each one of his committee giving me
suggestions and reporting progress of
his work, or from any citizen. For the
information of the committee desire
ito state that there has been organized
in the east a committee of distin-
guished members of the Iowa Society
Of New York. who, under the direction
of the Hon. ]. s. Clarkson, is soliciting
subscriptions turnout the east"
The Complete List Follows.

favor Of better law enforcement, but
1t is not in favor of creating a special
state police for the sole purpose Of en-
forcing one statute Neither is it in
favor of creating a system of state
marshals which will inevitably become
the agents of political machine
which will cause the flying squadrons"
and special emissaries" of the recent
past seem like missionary committees
in comparison. Undoubtedly the pres
emit legislature must do something
along the line Of securing better law
enforcement. General Byersa has al
ready pointed the way in his crusade
to compel the illegal saloon to. submit
to, regulation. When he began opera
tons there were more than a thou
sand saloons in this state which made.
no pretence of eobeying the law. He
now reports that there is not one which.
keeps open Sunday and that all close
their doors at 10 o'clock or shortly
after. This is splendid beginning.
Mr.. Byers has demonstrated his sin
cerity and ability. Why not accept his
suggestions as to the remedies needed
to complete the work so well begun?

The liquor dealers of oskaloosa have
sent broadcast a circular appeal to the
people of Mahaska county, and it is
sufficiently plain to explain its mis-
sion:
So 1t Is up to the farmers to say
whether there shall be saloons in Ma
haska county. We hope they will make
intelligent answer. 1t is not sufficient to
tell them that the saloons of Oska-
loosa pay into the city treasury $l4,-
900 annually This is a broad question,
and has more than a mere financial side
to 1t. The saloons do more than take
the dimes and dollars of country peo-
pie, do more than pay a city revenue
for the legal right to do business. There
is a moral side to the question, and
that is of greater Importance than any
amount of gold, for what shall it pro-
fit a man If he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul?"
And this calls up the question: Do
the saloons make their patrons better
citizens? Do they enrich them in any
way other than maudlin imbecll1ty?
Has a man any moral right to sell any
man anything that will injure him
menta ally. morally, financially or phys
ically? If he has not, then no legisla-
ture or city council should extend a
legal right TO anybody to transact bus
mess, and can not do so without COM
promising with crime, since the saloon
Is the birthplace of most of the crimes
committed. Don't take the word of any
Temperance Crank on this subject,
but ask the man who drinks, the man
who has been the best patron Of sa-
looms, for his judgment in the matter.
We know men who in thirty years have
paid out for drink enough to buy the
best improved and best stocked farm in
Mahaska county.
In what way has It paid such a VIC
tim of the damning thirst to exchange
his coin for drink? Three doctors In
New Sharon, McAllister, Wilkins and
Shomo, all brainy, big hearted, highly
educated men, died in the prime of
years, murdered by whisky. Think you
drinking whisky was paying invest
ment for them? Then there was So
pher, murdered in cold blood by his
own son. Both had been to Oskaloosa,
came home drunk and the son stabbed
the father twenty eight times, and the
only extenuating circumstance offered
i'm evidence was that she was drunk
when he did it," Middleham went to
Oskaloosa, came home with jug of
LIQUID hell, cut the throat of his step
son and his defense was whisky did
it." In the prosecution of these two
cases thousands of dollars were spent,
money taxed out of the people who
don't see any good in having saloons.
What profit was there in Those cases?
Again, every week beardless boys go
from New Sharon to Oskaloosa and
come home maudlin drunk. What have
the "law abiding" saloons got to say
about those cases? What parent will
sign a petition to continue saloons that
make boys SOLDERING ids, fills mems

WHAT MAN HAS DONE ETC.

Representative Paul e. Stillman. OF
Jefferson one of the strong members
of the house, has remarked about the
needs of improvement in our drainage
laws citing results which the Times
Republican wishes to have considered
in the matter of road legislation. Mr.
Stillman has said:
This drainage question, is one of
the most important in Iowa at this
time. In Greene county million dollars
worth of county drainage bitches have
been completed recently, or are now
under way. In Calhoun county, on the
north of Greene county, drainage dis
tricts run up in number to 40 or 1870,
involving expenditures of two or three
million dollars. Years of experience
have made apparent the need of many
minor changes and amendments in the
drainage laws, and it is my idea that a
thorough revision of the law to bring
1t into harmony with changed condi-
tons is highly desirable. Iowa is in its
infancy with regard to drainage. The
coming five or ten years will witness
the expenditure of millions upon mill
ions of dollars for large drainage pro-
jects, and the law governing these mat
tiers ought to be just as clear. just as
unnistakable, and just as simple as
human ingenuity can make It,"
Here is 4 million dollars worth of
drainage work in progress in one coun-
ty and two or three millions of work
lov In oil
because the laws of Iowa provide for
special drainage districts composed of
the purpose of. issuing long time bonds
and levying taxes. A million dollars
spent on permanent roads would build
a highway paved with concrete five
times access each county Two mill
ions and half would pave a highway
each way across county every four
miles apart bringing every farm in
the county within two miles of paved
road to town but no permanent road
work can be done in Iowa until the
state has a road law which will permit
roads to be built in the same way that
drainage bitches are now built.
Will they be built then, someone may
ask? What has been done in New York
state? From the annual report of the
state engineer just filed it appears
that:
"The work of highway improvement
has greatly increased in the last year
The season was exceptionally good for
road building, resulting in the comple-
ton of 500 miles of highways during
the calendar year, and making a total
of 1,7S7 miles built to date. There are
now under contract $50 miles, and 1898
miles, estimated to cost $10,624,910, are
awaiting contrct
New York has system of state aid.
From the above it can be seen that she
is building stone roads at $4,000 per
mile and building 500 miles per year or
less than ten millions per year for the
whole state while in Iowa the special
drainage district law with it's bond is
sue is building two millions of drainage
ditch in single county. Let Iowa give
its citizens a special road district and
bond issue law and New York will look
sick by comparison with Iowa in the
matter of voluntary road building.
Even the New Workers. have to petition
for their state roads and assess more
than half the cost to adjoining lands

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

while Web Byers is busy framing
a bill that will compel officials to see
that the liquor laws are enforced, why
does not some one introduce bill that
will compel the man who has money, to
list it for taxation?" demands the Man
son Journal. THE man who covers up
his money and refuses to pay tax on it
is just as much a law violator as the
man who sells little booze contrary
to law. He ought also to be listed with
the undesirable Citizen"
Senator Jameson, of Page county,
wants the Iowa legislature to adjourn
by quitting work early Why not cut
off still bigger expense by adjourning
now?" asks the Fairfield Ledger Tor,
why not begin on smaller economies
and permit Mr.. Jameson to- resign in
order that his salary may be saved
for the people? The state could get
along this year without either gem

Turn the public schools to technical

CUES the Iowa Citizen. "Commodious
and sanitary school buildings are the
best paying investments at the COM
mand of any community. and the law
should not hamper school corporations
in borrowing the money ito pay for
them"
eff changes are necessary in our
school laws make them gradually, as
the necessity may arise, instead of
oyerturning the present system and
plunging us into new one, all at
once" says the Hampton Recorder.
"There is no trouble in securing good
words for the good roads movement.
The difficulty comes when an effort is
made to secure good dollars" notes the
Sioux City Journal
The Emettsburg Reporter suggests
that "if the $4,000 per year is not
sufficiently high and mighty in sound
to suit, then let congress lop off few
of the perquisites that go with ths
White House and add them to the SAL
ary. II could lop off a coachman and
fancy horses, and even the barber that
costs the people $1,000 per year to
