ROOSEVELT AND TAFT

U HOSE who profess to regard the
result in New York and other
h states in which Col. Roosevelt
campaigned for the Republican ticket
as a verdict against him seem to have
overlooked some very important facts
that indicate the contrary emphatical-
ly. 1t is true that Roosevelt was made
chairman of the Saratoga convention
and made its keynote speech, but it
must not be forgotten that he was
compelled to go away from there and
make for the party an amended plat
foIm, but for which, it is safe to say,
the defeat on Tuesday would have
been more overwhelming.
Roosevelt made il plain that he was
unable to shape the Saratoga platform
on more progressive lines and that he
did not argree with much that it said.
Obviously he could not bluntly say
that its Endorsement of Taft's admins
tration was a bluuder and an affront
to all progressive Republicans, but that
was just what was the matter with it,
and this is demoIstrable by analysis
of the results in other states.
This fact stands out like a sore
thumb: In those states where the re-
dictionary wing of the party had con-
troll of the machinery and framed the

AN ALLEGORY

Editor Herald: Once upon a time
there was a man who lived alone upon
plantation where he might have
raised good crops If it had not been
for the myriads of insects which de-
stroyed his fruit and grain. One day,
when he was looking in despair at his
ruined fields. bird and toad said
to him:
Let us come and bring our friends
to live with you and we will save your
harvest" So the man said, "Come." !"
For a long time all went well. More
birds came and sang in the tree tops.
Tiny toads hoped about the fields in
the refreshing summer showers. But
the man forgot how his friends had
saved him. and he grew careless of
their comfort. He allowed gunners to
shoot the birus for their beautiful
feathers, and the toads could find no
place where IL was safe for them to
stay. Then the birds and toads said,
I'VE will go away and leave you be-
cause you have been unkind to us.
Others may come to take our places.
If you drive them away as you have
driven us away, you will die. Listen,
before it is too late"
But the man laughed to think that
his life could depend upon such insig-
nificant creatures, and he paid no heed
to their words. The years went on
and the fields lay bare and desolate
under the summer sun. In the de-
serted cabin was no sound or sign of
life. c. c. NJ.

Money Question Lucidly Discussed

seems at hand, reserve banks cannot
afford to tie up all their funds in time
loans, but must keep out on call an
amount of money. perhaps even more
than in ordinary seasons, to prepare
for extraordinary and sudden de-
mands. Then after the stringency is
over there is more money lying around
than business can Immediately use
In either case the speculator Is IA
vored, for call money finds its outlet
only in ventures on the stock eX-
change. One is almost led to believe
that had our financial system been
expressly designed for the benefit OF
spectators it could hardly have been
planned more successfully.
In finding remedies for these con-
ditions a glance at the banking sit
uation in foreign countries is valuable.
The prominent European countries
nave central banks under more or less
private management which act as fis-
cal agents and repositories of govern
ment funds. These funds therefore
serve the needs of business as we'll as
the government. This is contrary to
the practice in the United States,
where the independent treasury sys-
tenn boards all government funds
within it's own vaults. These central
banks are required to rediScount all
short term commercial paper offered
them by the minor banks. This af-
fords a means of obtaining cash at
any time There is therefore no need
for a secondary reserve in call money
and the demands of business can be
met much more fully than on this
side of the Atlantic. Note issue is re-
served to these central banks, and
their notes are true asset" currency,
being secured by the credit of the
bank as indicated by its gold reserve
and it's maturing commercial paper.
Such currency is also elastic" in
creasing and decreasing with the de-
mands of trade under various restric-
tions and taxes. Such banks act as a
balance wheel on industry by taking
the initiative in raising rates to check
unhealthy activity in the business
world. Higher rates likewise aid in
helping the banks to secure gold in
order to adequately safeguard their
liabilities.
Whether such a central bank is
either necessary or adapted to the
needs of this country remains to be
determined. The national monetary
commission is now making an ex-
haustiVe study of the banking sys-
TENS of representative countries. It's
coming report and recommendations
as to what is needed to bring our own
country into the line of progress
should merit full attention and discus
sion, but the discussion must be with
out prejudice in order to lead to a
valuable conclusion. Respectfully
yours, MAX w. WOLFF.

Editor Herald: In last Sundays
Herald appeared an editorial under
the heading, Tying Up the Country's
Money" in which you implied that
New York financial institutions were
more interested in fostering stock
speculation than in supplying money
for the legitimate needs of the coun-
try. A statement of this sort in such
a paper as The Herald should not pass
unchallenged.
The immediate cause of your re-
marks is a citation from the saturday
Evening Post, stating that banks Will
make call loans on stock exchange
collateral for per cent. but demand
from 3 to per cent for lending money
on commercial paper. To believe that
banks prefer to take the lesser per-
centage is ridiculous, and to infer
that call money is tied up involves
a contradiction of terms Money in
such loans cannot be tied up as long
as the underlying securities can be
sold, which means as long as there are
spectators on the exchanges willing to
buy them. 1t is just here that the
speculator and the broker show that
they serve a valuable function in the
community. 1t is true, to be sure, that
much of the money now loaned on
securities at call could find a valuable
place in industry, but that it does not
find such a place is the fault of our
banking laws, and not the desire of
the banking institutions. The nation
al banks in the central reserve cities
are required to protect their deposits
with minimum reserve of % per cent
i'll cash. 1nasmuch as such reserve
cannot be drawn below this percentage
without alarming credit, the banks
must possess a secondary reserve.
Under our archaic laws this can be
done mainly by keeping sufficient
funds out on call at whatever rate
the borrower is willing to pay The
banks may also obtain more cash by
increasing their note circulation. 1t
so happens IN this country that ma
tiOnal bank notes are not bank notes
in the true sense of the term, but may
be obtained from the government in
exchange for government bonds. The
emergency currency which is now
available may be obtained in eX-
change for other securities, but such
securities must be acceptable to the
government. Unfortunately when
money is in such demand as to war
rant an increase in circulation, suit
able bonds are selling at high price
because banks are bidding for them
with this express purpose of increas-
ing circulation. After the crash which
follows every boom these bonds can
only be sold at a loss. The banks
therefore have no inducement to re-
tire notes by re-exchanging them for
bonds. We thus have the unhappy re-
suit that when a period of tight money

AN AVIATION TRUST

" HE group of aviators recently at
Belmont park, New York, COM
4 posing practically all the leading
successful American flyers and all the
foreign contingent now in the country
have evidently formed a trust. San
Francisco promoters have been notified
that a 100000 guarantee will be neces-
sary to insure the sanction" and the
attendance and participation of the
aviators. Presumably Los Angeles will
have to fork over similar sum.
1t has been figured by an authority
that aviators in Europe and America
have received in prizes during the last
twelve months $716,65O, not counting
what they got as instructors and eX-
which would probably amount to as
much more.
Paulhan, who a year ago established
a worlds altitude record in Los An
geles, and who led in the race for
prizes, securing $4,000, is said to have
made $4,000 on his exhibition tour of
the United states. Morane took $4,000
in prizes, Latham $4,000. Among
American prize winners Curtiss is
placed at the top with winnings of SIC
OOO besides exhibition takings, Blerot
has made a fortune in exhibitions.
These figures put the new profession
of flying in a roseate atmosphere, but
against them must be written down
the names of twenty-four airmen who
have lost their lives, according to the
same papers compilation.
It was to be expected, but it is
regrettable, that the new science OF
aviation should be put on such a sordid
and commercial plane. Considering the
risks and the expense, high prices are
a natural incident Of exhibitions, but
when the flyers, not content with very
generous remuneration, combine and
demand exorbitant pay, public conf
dence is sure to be sacrificed. If money
is the one and only object Of most
Of the flyers, the exhibitions will be
half suspected as hippodromes, and
good part of the pleasure of seeing
them will be lost.
The sure result, a falling off in the
patronage of exhibitions, will react on
the greedy aviators, and they may in
the end lose by their cupidity.

SOCIALISM'S GAIN

III HERE is no occasion for surprise
at the large Socialist vote in
Il California on Tuesday. It will
grow larger before it grows smaller,
too. Fully half the people nowadays
are more than half Socialstic in their
ideas, and an incident that came to
The Heralds notice within the past
few days proves it.
A wag approached one Of his friends,
an intelligent and loyal Republican,
and asked him if he had read the
platform of Roosevelt's new national
ism. Receiving a negative reply, the
Wag then read to his friend the sub
stance of this years Socialist party
platform. When he had finished the
Republican friend exclaimed, "Bravo!
that's the talk. I'm for the new ma
tionalism' every time" Without
knowing it he had swallowed the So
cialist doctrine at a gulp, yet prob
ably he would have secuted such a
possibility as highly absurd.
Much of our dread of things is in
the name. We would Indignantly
spurn horse steak, but how do we
know when we may have eaten it
at a restaurant and smacked our lips
over the tenderness of the beef?
Four out of five people today are
radicals. Some are radical enough to
vote the Socialist ticket. Some do
only superficial thinking and don't
know how radical they are until they
are tested out as the wag tried his
Republican friend. Others are intelli-
gently radical, but not quite enough
as yet for the Socialist platform. But
the field is fallow and the Socialists
are making the most of it. The logical
check for the Socialistic movement is
the awakening of the public as in the
progressive movement in both the
Democratic and Republican parties.
The moment there is a return to the
reactionary policies of Cannon and
Aldrich and their like that moment
the Socialists gain tremendous
strength.
