! NEW YORK. July S1-(Special Telegram.)
When the Bankers Association of America
convenes in Los Angeles, Cal, shortly,
steps will be taken to establish safeguards
about banks which will prevent financial
institutions from being looted in the future
by INSCRIPTIONS officials and employees
Alleged thefts from New York banks and
big financial institution in Louisville,
KY, recently have compelled the attention
of the American Bankers association and
when the annual convention is held q
movement will be inaugurated with a view
to protecting the funds of the depositors
more carefully in the future than they
have been protected in the past.
| An elaborate national system of safe
guarding banks from thieving employees win
be inaugurated. The fact that more than
$50 OOO, 900 has been embezzled from banks
and trust companies In the last five years
brings the question OF embezzlement loom
ing up as one OF the most important things
to be considered in moasrn banking. Many
bank thefts never come 70 light Many
banks, from which moderately large sums
are stolen, take their losses without report
ing them to the authorities. or prosecuting
thesoffending employees. This is done to
| avoid publicity.

Bankers Aroused.

That the bankers are alarmed is evident
from the preparations which are being
made for the handling OF this subject.
In a majority Of cases the money stolen
from banks has been lost in stock and grain
gambling In New York City embeEzling
employees are lured by fortunes to be made
In Wall street. In the south, offending
bank clerks have played the cotton market
and in the west and middle west much
money has been dropped In the wheat Pit
and in bucket shops.
Temptations to crime are often held out
in alluring get-rich-quick circulars of
brokers and others. The underpaid clerk
steals to make money, he gets In debt and
steals more in the attempt to recoup his
loss. The next thing he knows he is so
involved that the end soon comes
The bankers will put ban on all litera-
ture like the "get-rich-quick" circular.
They will also ask that stricter rules be
laid down by brokers in the dealing with
customers Bankers claim that If brokers
would investigate conditions Of clients they
would find. many times, that they were
receiving stolen money for stocks and
bonds.
Whether the question of raising the wages
OF bank employees will be considered has
not been made known. Some bankers are
in accord with the proposition to increase
the salaries Of clerks, bookkeepers and
| underling as a means OF removing some OF
the temptations of poverty. However,
something will be done. and something very

vAGARIEs OF VOTERS

The way of the voter is strange.
One of the peculiar results of the
late election is the indicated change
OF sentiment in various counties, if
we are to believe that the liquor
question was the paramount issue in
the campaign
OF all the counties which have
held local option elections, Elmore
and Ada counties were the only ones
to vote wet. In spite of this fact.
Governor Brady carried Ada coun-
ty by a substantial plurality, while
in Gilmore county he reduced the
democratic lead Of two years ago
by approximately 200 votes. and ac-
ivally carried the town of Mountain
Home, which a year ago gave a sub
stantial majority in favor Of saloons.
He lost Glenns Ferry, which votal
dry at the local option election, ani
also lost Bannock. Fremont and 9th
err counties whose voters had made
them dry within the last eighteen
months
If the vote at the late election is
to be taken as criterion it would
seem that when the liquor question
is again submitted to the voters in
the various counties, the wet may
be dry and the dry may be wet The
safest conclusion is, however. that
the average voter has personalities
more than principles in mind when
he enters the election booth

SUCCESS IN SIGHT

The hopes of those who for years
have been waiting for solution Of
the water problem at Mountain Home
have been so often raised by false
promises that a spirit of pessimism
and doubt has naturally been bred
in the minds of the people; and
skepticism has displaced enthusiasm.
One disappointment after another
must necessarily have a telling effect
and where doubt enters. confidence
cannot exist.
We are all a unit in the belief
that there is no section of Idaho
which possesses to so great a degree
tie natural advantages of the Noun
tain Home territory. Most of MS now
admit that there is an ample sup
ply Of water for the irrigation OF
this great tract of land. Heretofore
the difficulty has been to bring about
an effective organization through
which the elemental features req
uisite to a successful irrigation pro-
ject at Mountain Home could be lined
~ and results obtained This diff
fculty appears to have been over
come
The Gilmore Irrigation Company
which commenced operations here
last spring is giving to the people
the only feasible solution Of the prob
lem that has been presented in al
most two years; and one which prom
ises great and immediate success.
The plan Of the company is as near
