The recommendation of the special
legislative committee on banking de-
serve the careful consideration Of intel
ligent citizens.
They indicate, not only an exhaustive
study Of the banking conditions in this
and other states, but the desire to inn
prove conditions along sound, practical,
constructive lines rather than by the
application Of radical theories and al
Turing panaceas.
1t is practicularly significant of this
attitude on the part Of the committee
that, after a study of the Oklahoma
guaranty law on the ground and while
actually in operation, it should reject
the guaranty plan as harboring more
evils than benefits. Indeed, the com
mittee was forced to the conclusion,
reached by every intelligent student of
the subject before them, that no
scheme has yet been developed and
proved which Affords to the deposit
absolute security. "
This, however, did not deter the
committee from recommending a legis-
lative program of nine bills, each one
Of which aims at the greater safe
guarding Of deposits. Thus they pro-
vide for stockholding directors, who
must direct, and for two examinations
a year instead Of one; two primary
bulwarks against reckless and criminal
banking.
With respect to banking methods
there are likewise several excellent
recommendation in the interest of the
banking public For instance, the com
mttee would compel, under penalty,
the segregation Of savings from com
merciaI deposits and with separate and
approved security equal to their full
amount. In time of trouble or of
liquidation, the savings depositor would
be given a first lien upon these savings
assets.
A law with these provisions would
certainly give to the wage-earner and
other depositors of small means, as
much safety as could be provided by
anything outside of absolute guaranty
Other recommendations, relating to
loans Of banks on real estate, loans to
bank directors, the purchase Of bank
stock, the investment of mutual saw
ines funds and other vital features of
the banking business are all framed
with the object Of eliminating present
sources of insecurity.

Another Dividend Melon.

Oshkosh Northwestern.
And now it is the international Har-
vester company the so-called farm ma
chinery trust that is going to cut a
melon, in the shape Of stock distribu-
ton amounting 70 $50, 900, 600, or SO ] 3
per cent, in addition to which the hold
ers of the $50, 900, 600 ot common stock
will receive a regular dividend Of four
per cent which alone win amount to
SO, 200, 600 Nor do even these two items
represent the full amount of profits Of
the trust, for Of course the holders Of
the SGO,O300O0 Of preferred stock must
have their regular guaranteed dividend
of seven per cent which is a pretty nice
thing in itself
Prosperity seems 10 have come in
generous proportions to the harvester
trust, the same as it has come to most
of the other big corporations and com
bines that are included in the list Of
so-called special interests. Melon cutting
is the order Of the day with many of
of these corporations, and in the mean
time some Of the thinking people are
commencing to figure out where these
enormous profits come from. OF course
it is clear that the people themselves
furnish the profits, directly or Indirect
~, and in 50 doing the are paying their
toll in the increased cost Of living. But
they are commencing to feel that the
game is somewhat one sided and they
therefore insist taal something be done

1t is a pity that a man like the Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon, who, in his younger
days, has been Of signal service as a
legislator, did not know enough to re-
tire to private life while still at the zen
IT'D Of his career; that he allowed his
greed for office to blind his better judg-
ment and dull his perceptive faculties.
His friends, instead Of trying to uphold
him to the unbelieying public, should
kindly nut firmly impress upon his mind
the fact, known to all but himself, that
he is ia his dotage, has outlived his
sphere Of usefulness to his country, and
no longer represents his constituents.
I'm no other way can he be made to
see a great light Failure on the part Of
his friends to do so win sooner or later
give us the sorrowful spectacle Of a dis
credited old man retired in ignominious
defeat.
