Bankers and Public Policy
fchicago Record.Hsrald,


The view expressed at the convention
of the American Bankers ass ciahOn
by the president II rHt sAvitss bank
section, William r. Greer, will create
a very favorable Impressions very
different impression from that created
by the i'll conceived attack on the post
al savings act in the annual address
of Mr. Pierson. The public is assured
that the association as body is anX-
ious loyalty to cooperate with the gov
ernment, and considers its duty to be
to "see that the utmost amount or
good shall be secured by that act"
The savings act is law. 1t will re-
main law-at least, it will be given a
proper and absolutely fair trial. It's
survival will depend on its merits and
utility as demonstrated by efficient
practice. The attitude of the banking
community with regard to it admits
of no doubt. 1t is an attitude which is
enioined by the admirable doctrines set
forth on the first day of the congress
by Mr.. George M. Reynolds, president

tional bank of Chicago.
Bankers, Mr.. Reynolds urges, should
recognize that public sentiment is the
most potent of all factors, that the cul-
tivation of a sane, fair, conservative
public sentiment is not only the obliga-
tion but the self-interest of bankers,
and that financial policies inspired by
selfishness and greed are destructive of
all confidence, prosperity and progress
in the long run. Bankers, Mr.. Reyn-
olds continued. are bound to protect
capital properly administered, but they
are also bound to protect the rights
and interests of the public-of borrow
ers, consumers, producers.
The postal savings act, soon to be
given experimental effect, affords the
bankers an opportunity of applying in
a very notable concrete instance the
Just and progressive ideas which they
approved in the abstract in applauding
Mr.. Reynolds discussion of their rela4
tions to the general public.

Answers with Abuse

Angeles Express)
attempting to punish those who had
blackened the towns good name, Fred
ericl1s was convulsing all comers with
satire and ridicule. OF whom? OF
those who had injured the towns good
name? Nay, of Woolwine.
In all that period, one of the most
notable, as it was one of the most
critical, in the history of Los Angeles,
when it's destiny was determined for
years to come, Woolwine fought for
decency and Los Angeles. And Fred
ericks? Fredericvks sneered at Wool
wine
That isn't the sort of district attor-
ney Los Angeles wants. Had Fred
ericlxs devoted his energy to assailing
vice entrenched in government instead
of devoting it to satire and ridicule
of Woolwine, he would have done
much to protect the towns good name,
and his own.

farmer:
''The bugs ate my whole crop in two weeks, "
Then another spoke up:
They ate my crop in two days, and then
sat around on the trees and waited for me to
plant more"

Editor Herald: In the Sundays
Herald you reply to my inquiry, re-
garding certain forms Of bank notes
secured by United States bonds or
other securities" You make the
statement that they were issued under
the provisions of the Aldrich law
passed at last session of congress. But
one bore the date 1899, another was
issued 1905 long before the last session
of congress.
Another statement you make is that
there is no stringency on the Pacific
coast and that the money in question
must have found its way here from
the east, where there is a stringency
at numerous points But that will
not account for the fact that one of the
ten-dollar bills 1 referred to was is
sued to a Riverside bank, and an
other ten and a five-dollar note, which
have handled since writing to The
Herald, were issued to San Francisco
banks.

CENSUS COMING;
LET'S Get BUSY
Inquiry as to the Supervisors
From This District Indicates
Interest in Jobs.
GET RIGHT MEN THIS TIME
Rock Island Deprived Of Its Showing
Ten Years Ago Should Profit
by Experience.

Rock Island, ILL.,. Jan. 10.-Editor
The Argus: Will you be good enough
to inform me who is the census super
visor of this district, and obIige
CITIZEN.
The above query is but a sample of
many that have come to The Argus
within the past month or more. They
have come in not only in written FORM
but in a personal way, and they indi-
cate that there is to be no dearth of
applications for the positions of local
enumerators when the time comes.
Select Men of Worth.
And in this connection the thought is
suggested that the supervisor, who, by
the way, is R R. Wallace of Hamilton.
Hancock county, should be guided by
something more than mere political
consideration in the naming of his as
sistants, in Rock Island at least Ten
years ago, when the last United States
census was taken. Rock Island got the
worst of it in the showing. The work
here, taken as a whole, was botch,
pure and simple. The city was de-
prived in the government census of
from 2,5CO to 1000 in the enumeration
of its population, due to carelessness
and efficiency on, the part of some, al
thought of course not all, of the cen
sus takers.
The school census. taken the summer
following the canvass by the govern
ment enumerators, indicated plainly
that the population was considerably
more than that shown by the represen-
tatives of Uncle Sam. 1t is not too ear
ly now to adopt some system to see
that the failure of 10 years ago is not
repeated this year. The first step is
to see that capable and faithful men
are named for the purpose. The next
move should be to see that no one in
Rock Island is overlooked.
Everyone should Help.
Every citizen should get into touch
with the canvasser Of his ward or pre-
cinct, when the list is made known,
and see that every one in that precinct
or ward is enumerated
Rock Islands population of 10 years
ago was from 81. 900 to $4,000 and yet
the government census gave it few
figures less than 10000. At this time
the population of Rock Island is var
iously, but fairly, estimated at from
$4,000 to 30,000-perhaps more
And if the citizens will take pride in
