SECURED DEPOSITS.
Government Requirements of State
Banks Criticised.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The banking law of the State OF
Michigan provides that no bank or bank
officers shall give any preference TO any
deposition or creditor by pledgng the assets
Of the bank as collateral security" The
Attorney General OF the state has given
his opinion that state banks cannot accept
postal savings deposited for this reason.
The State OF Wisconsin is practically IN the
same situation.
Questions: Are rot the laws in these
states such as should be in force In every
state? Is the money handled by public
officials different from that circulating
among individuals? Is ii sacred? whose
money is It? In the event of the failure CT
a bank would the loss OF a public deposit
be felt to as large degree as that sur
fered by an individual? Should the govern
ment national or state, authorize the or
ganization of banks. direct their manage
ment keep informed as to their condition,
say to the public they are all right then
require absolute security for government
state, county and public moneys deposited:
Are not the laws above referred to based
on common sense? Should any or all de-
posIts be secured? f. f. LYFORD.

Sir: Strikes are of constant occurrence

Is never satisfied. The reason for this IS
that work was not a proper part OF his
education.
This Is the way Of it: The boy goes TO
his compulsory school. Study and play"
are his only occupations. Child labor is
totally denied him. Even In family sick
ness he cannot stay home TO do chores
He or his parents are arrested, fined or
jailed II he does The boy grows up totally
unfit and unwilling TO work. He watches
for easy money and soft snap" lie

too small
The walking delegate comes along and
tells him the union Is the thing 10 right
his wrongs" and the strike is tho caper
by which he can realize easy work. short
hours and big pay. The walking delegates
were forced into the public schools. as
they would force all into the labor unions
One form OF compulsion begets another.
II Is time for all labor adjusteTs to look
into this aspect Of strike causes. ~ there

WANTS AN EASTERN LAND SHOW.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: am glad 10 see in Saturdays Trlb-
une that one of your correspondents calls
attention to the fact that the Western land
interests have been holding a great lana
show at the Garden to lure farmers away
from New York and the East. A year or
less ago I suggested in newspaper article
that New York City have land show,
similar to this Western show, to exploit the
lands Of New York and other Eastern
states and show the home farmers what
could be done with the farms they had.
rather than to fly TO others that they knew
not OF. AS usual, New York paid no at
tention 10 the suggestion 1t was waiting
till somebody came along to show It. Well,
the Western people have come and they
have shown, and now, perhaps next year,
or the year after next, or some time. New
York will give an Eastern land show. 1t will
be good one all right. but what's the good
Of good when IL is too late TO be any good?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Whenever an American attends

church on the Continent, and hears the
President OF the United States prayed for
as we'll as the King of England, 1t does
thrill one so would an Englishman be
thrilled II In attending church in the United
States he should hear the King prayed for
as well as the President. The two coun-
tries. so closely connected by blood, lam
guage and history, never were so close in
spirit as now, for the act Of the British
captain at,Manla swept away any soreness
that might have fingered SO. why should
not an effort be made that in both Eng
land and the United States. at every church

other effect than to draw more closely to-
gether these two great nations. something

ROOSEVELT AND THE TRUSTS.

ROOSEVELT AND THE TRUSTS.
Ex-President Roosevelt, in his Out
look" editorial on The Trusts, the Peo-
pie and the Square Deal" has made
forceful and a valuable contribution TO
the discussion Of one of the momentous
problems of the day. He believes that
the Sherman antitrust law is insufficient
TO effect the necessary control over COM
binationS of business and too indefinite
to enable business men clearly TO under
stand what is and what Is not permlssl-
BILE under the statute and reiterates his
conviction that some form Of federal
control which shall be at least similar
TO that exercised over the railroads by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
must be devised Mr. Roosevelts dis
cuSsion of this complex subject should
prove helpful TO President Taft in his
efforts to induce Congress no longer to
delay the legislation providing for some
form of federal incorporation which he
urged a year ago. and which has been
ably advocated by various members OF
his administration.
With characteristic emphasis Mr.
Roosevelt asserts that no business
should be prosecuted merely because II
is big" and when no wrOngdoing on It's
part can be proved. There would he
reason for regret if a hasty reading OF
his article should leave the impression
that the Taft administration takes diff
ferent view. He denies the assertion
contained in the bill against the Steel
CORPORATION that he was misled. His
opinion still is that its acquisition OF
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
was fortunate for the country. and he
cites figures to show that ii is further
from being q monopoly now than it was
before that combination.
Mr.. Roosevelt points out the value of
the antitrust suits in forcing on public
attention the necessity for further legis-
lation Of the character he advocates, al
though he asserts his belief that in the
case of the Standard Oil and the TO
bacco trusts the punishment has not
been commensurate with the extent Of
their guilt. Referring 10 his own admin
iStraton. he calls attention to the fact
that toward its close he urged federal
incorporation law on Congress. That
proposal provided for form of license
without which no corporation should be
permitted to conduct an interstate COM
MERGE business The federal incorpora-
ton law proposed by Mr.. Taft was per-
miSSive il being his belief. at least as
heretofore expressed. that the benefits to
be derived therefrom would he sufficient
to induce all corporations of Importance
to avail themselves of it.
As we SAID at the beginning, we he

ing for supervision 10y the government

ORGANIZING THE ASSEMBLY.

Discussion regarding the organization
Of the Assembly by the Republicans
next winter is already becoming def
mite. The Tribune has no wish at pres
ent to discuss personalities. But there
are certain facts to be borne I'm mind.
The Republicans made a mistake In or
ganizing the state Senate in 1909. The
Tribune at the time warned them that
they were making mistake. They paid
for Ii, among other things. in the cleo
ton Of 1910, when they lost control OF
the state for the first time in many
years. After Alldsshad been eliminated
the Republicans had an opportunity to
repair the mistake. Every sort OF press
ure was brought to bear upon those
really in control Of the Senate organiza-
ton to make them perceive the expe-
diency of concillatlng public opinion In
choosing new leader on the floor or
the Senate. The pressure failed. That
obstinacy also contributed TO make the
election of 1910 the Republican catas-
trophe that ii was.
Now the Republicans are partly re-
stored TO power because Murphy was as
blind as those whom he displaced. His
organization and use OF the Legislature
inflamed public sentiment against MS
party. The lesson is for the Republican
leaders to appropriate and make use OF.
The attitude of the state toward the
Republican party in the important cleo
ton of 1912 will be largely affected by
the behavior of the Republican Assem-
bly, this winter The organization of the
Assembly will be the first intimation to
the public of what il has to expect.
