MUST WIN.

A prominent Iowa Republican
says: EFF the Iowa democrats don't
win this year they can charge it all
to their own account. They have the
finest opportunity presented in Iowa
for many years. The only thing that
can save the Republicans is the gross
blundcrings and mismanagement of
the Democrats" There is much of
truth in this declaration and Demo-
Gratis should take heed to the warn
ing it conveys.
They, the Democrats of Iowa, have
victory in their own hands and are
sure to win if they act now with en-
ergy and good common sense. The
next two months will tell the story.
A little enthusiasm, prompt action
and continuous work, will certainly
lead us on to victory in November.
Then we can rejoice over victor
les won. United and harmonious
action should be the resolve of ev-
cry Iowa Democrat at this time. Our
political enemies are divided, dis
tracted and greatly demoralized.
They know and realize that they
cannot put up good and winning
fight this year, and fear it may be
years before they can unite their
forces and hold Iowa solid for the
Republican party.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1910-09-01

The Democratic Textbook for 1910
is said to be an interesting document.
A Washington dispatch describing
the publication says: Speeches de-
livered by the insurgent republicans
in congress furnish large part of
the matter in the 516-page demo-
cratic campaign text book just is
sued by the national democratic con-
gressional committee. The volume
begins with the enumeration of the
campaign issues and is concluded by
republican Congressman Hills de-
nunciation of the Northumberland
currency law. Hill is the only regu-
lar republican quoted. Thirty-seven
pages are devoted to speeches of in
surgents, the most prominent being
Senator Delivers attack on the ia
riff, the adverse remarks of Senator'S
Cummins and LaFollette on the rail-
road bill, Congressman Fish's de-
tense of insurgency and speeches by
Haugen in opposition to the tariff
law and the railroad bill. Tariff and
the high cost of living are brought
forward as the main issue, and 176
pages are devoted to these subjects.
Champ Clark has the place of honor
with a tariff speech. The republi-
cans are attacked for not making the
law requiring publicity of campaign
funds more effective, for favoring
ship subsidy, for failing to pass de-
sireable labor legislation, and are &C
cused of showing lack of activity
against the trusts

Referring to the report that Okla
homa's guarantee deposit law is a
failure, e. B. Cockrell, bank COM
the editors of some of the eastern
financial journals would attend "a
convention of the Oklahoma Bank
ers' Association and meet the hum
dreds of conservative and intelli-
gent bank officers who are manag-
ing 900 institutions in this state,
they would form different conclus-
ions concerning them. 1t is certain
ly sad condition of affairs when a
large proportion of the financial
journals of the country will DELHI
erately attempt to misrepresent and
malign all the banks of great state
like Oklahoma because such insti-
buttons see fit to form an alliance
for the purpose of protecting depos-
itors in all institutions against loss,
as we'll as protecting themselves
against loss of confidence on ac-
count of the bad management and
failure of few banks. AS an il
lustration of the difference in liqui-
dating failed bank under the old
regime and under the present law,
the Capital National bank of Guth-
RE, which failed five or six years
ago with assets of about $1,000
600, has only paid IS cents on the
dollar to depositors, and in such
small amounts that it has scarcely
been more than fair rate of inter-
est on the amount they had deposit
ted, while the Columbia Bank and
CT 81 ~
which failed on the 2Sth day of
last September, with assets and liza
bilities in excess of 100000, has
been completely liquidated and all
depositors have received one hundred
cents on the dollar. The Oklahoma
state banks have reserves of 35
per cent, which shows a stronger po-
sition than the banks of nine-tenths
Of the states in the union. The Ok
lahoma banking laws surround the
financial institutions of this state
with more safeguards than the laws
OF any other state, and correct many
OF the evils which are prevalent I'M
der the national banking law, such
as giving the bank commissioners
the authority to regulate the rate of
interest which banks may be permit
ted to pay on deposits, and power to
remove any bank officers who are
found to be dishonest, reckless, and
incompetent. Under date of May rs,
1910, the Hon. Lawrence o. Murray,
the best man who has ever occupied
the comptroller's Office at Washing
ton, wrote this department concern
ing the payment of interest on de-
posts, saving: Il cOngratulate yo,, On
your good fortune in having a law
under which you are able to cor
rect a real evil .

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE

Since 1850 the population of the
United States has increased 1876 per
cent, while the expenses of national
government have increased $50 per
cent.
Under democratic administration
the appropriations for two years dur
ing the Fifty-third congress AMOUNT
ed to $917, 013.253.34; republican
administration during the Sixtieth
congress appropriated $2,O52,799,-
400.68 for 1909-191O.
Since 1896 the war department
appropriation has grown 335 per
cent and the navy appropriation
365 per cent.
Large additions to the salaries of
public officials, from the president
down, expensive new bureaus, COM
missions, and courts, have enorm-
ously increased the general expenses
of government. The whole history
of republican administration has
been one orgy of frightful extray-
agance.
The Sixtieth congress, and the Taft
administration pledged to economy,
has already put 26,944 tax-eaters on
the public pay roll at an annual to-
tai cost for salaries of $24,943, 276.-
10. The white house expenses this
year are $135,358 more than they
were in 1894 under Cleveland, and
three vessels are detailed from the
navy to serve as yatchs for the presi-
dent, while eight government auto
mobiles are at his disposal.
Republican extravaganza is piling
the burden of taxation higher and
higher. The great part of this bur
den falls on the farmer the work
ingman, the small home owner. The
only salvation is a return to Jeffer-
sonian simplicity, and a retrench-
ment of expenses by a democratic
congress, which alone can, and will,
tighten the burden.
