SHRINKAGE OF SECURITIES.

London advices covering the an nual meetings of number of inn portant British joint stock banks show that the leaders of the banking world there are more or less eXer- cised concerning the marked shrink age in the value of "gilt-cdged' se- curities. particularly those of the premier issue Of all-British consols. That there is actual danger in the tendency was eXemplified in 1911 by the failures of two English institu-
 tions. both of minor importance, 1t is true. whose downfall was in large part due to the decline in the value of investments held as security for their deposits. The large cOmmer-
 cial banks of England are not or course. absolutely endangered, but. as the chairman of one of them is stated to have said at the recent annual meeting. their inability to pay greater dividends to shareholders is explained bv the charges it was necessary to make in profit-and-loss accounts for depreciation on such holdings. The remarks of Sir Felix Schuster of the Union Bank of London on this sub feet are typical. His view of the mat
 fer is that increased national eXpcn- ditures. with the swollen burden of taxation involved, weigh heavily on the investment market and cause a constant stream of liquidation in

HERE ARE REASONS WHY THE REPUBLICAN
 WILL SUPPORT PRESIDENT TAFTS CANDIDACY

tutional notwithstanding any judicial interpretation.
 The Republican candidly believes. and it feels confident that any intel ligent man who will take the trouble to study this proposition will agree with the belief, that this scheme con templates nothing less than the destruction of our constitutional gov ernment.
 It seems to this newspaper that it would be vain to expect the govern ment to survive the success of this revolutionary propaganda.
 And if somebody feels disposed to criticise The Republican for calling the scheme revolutionary. it is point cd out that Mir. Roosevelt himself said it first.
 If this be revolutionary. make the most of it." is Mir. Roosevelt's lan- guage.
 It Is also apparent that under this scheme We should have no courts at all, as that institution is understood. Neither should we have q constitu- ton; for then the fundamental law would not be the constitution at all. The fundamental law would be what q matority--maybe just q majority of one--might happen to think in the heat and excitement of an election.
 Now. it is not an indictment of the intelligence of the electorate to say that not all the people of this coun- try are constitutional lawyers. We have right here in Phoenix hundreds of men who have never even read the constitution. And if this plan be put into effect we shall have elections at which millions of people over the country will be called upon to decide whether some law agrees with con- stitution they haven't even read.
 Our system of government exists by virtue and under the authority of the federal constitution. Whenever the occasion arises for changing that con- stitution, a way has been provided. So great a man as William F.. Clad stone said: The constitution of the United States is the greatest instru- ment eyer struck off within a given time by the will and purpose of man. This paper believes that absolutely. IL believes absolutely in free govern ment and because it does believe in free government il cannot support Mir Roosevelts confessed revolutions ary doctrines.

by Mr.. Friedlander. Premiums OF
$1.250, $1,000 and $3.50 each were
awarded to the second, third and
fourth designs, according to their mer-
it as zen by the board.
The memorial is to consist of a plain
shaft $50 feet high, erected neal the
shore of Lake Erie, at a point off which
the battle was fought. There Is to be a
terrace or plaza leading down to the
waters edge and on one side will be
erected the historical museum, while
another is to a memorial building to
commemorate the 100 years of peace.
The estimated cost of the memorial is
$500, 600.
AS part of the celebration the Nj
agara, the old flagship of Commodore
Perry, which is sunk in Erie harbor,
will be raised and made seaworthy. It
will then be taken to each of the more
prominent of the lake cities during
next summer for a stay of a few days
in each one. 1t will be escorted from
city to city by vessels of the naval
militia and such escort of motor boats
and other craft as can be mustered In
to a fleet.

No Hereditary Descent i'm Politics

THE passing of great baronial houses
i in politics is stimulated by the last
elections. Another blow has been de-
livered to the practice in several in
stances of handing the senatorial toga
from father to son. State Senator Ar
thur P. German, Democrat, of Mary
and, was only running for governor
TO be sure, but it was generally rec
ognized that had he been elected he
would soon have become a formidable
candidate for the United States senate,
where his father of the same name
served for many years. The late Sen
ator German started his only son upon
4 political career by reason of his in
iuence with the state machine, and
undoubtedly looked ahead to the day
when the son would become a senator.
The Germans are related to the Da-
yises and Elkinses, of West Virginia, a
~leighbOring state. All three families
made considerable money in the same
ventures, but not all their money for

lionaire, the late Senator S. b. Elkins,

Last elections in Maine dashed high
hopes for another family succession in
the senate. The Maine voters under

Hale had not Slipped up or his ambi-

First district he would speedily have
gone into training for the senate, and
had Maine stayed Republican the or

ex-senator Hale, was head, would have
had a toga waiting for him.
Similarly. over in Vermont, where
for a season the late Senator Redfeld
Proctor held the state as in the hol-
low of his hand, all the plans had
been laid for a senatorial succession
from father to son. 1t proceeded as
far as the election of the son to be
governor OF Vermont, but nc farther.

"She wanted to give a luncheon to
