IS A GREAT SAVING TO PEOPLE
1896 REPOSITORIES SINCE 1908

BY Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.
Washington, May 12.-The order
of Secretary McAdoo that national
banks after June LIST must pay two
per cent interest on government de-
posits is the start of what will even
tually be a great saving to the Amer
lean people.
The order follows closely the re-
concentrations of a special house
committee, which investigated the
government repositories last year.
This committee, dominated by Demo-
Gratis and headed by Representative
j. Henry Cooke, of Ohio, reported to
congress fragrant examples of special
privilege in the distribution of fed
eral funds among banks.
The report was available to the
Taft Republican administration sew
eral months before it went out of Of
flee, yet Secretary MacVeagh paid
no attention to it.
The report showed that in 1908
the number of federal repositories
had grown to 1896. These banks
were divided into two classes-about
1000 IF them temporary depositor-
les, the rest regular repositories.
Both sorts of repositories were
created arbitrarily by the secretary
Of the treasury. In the temporary
depository the government usually
placed the sum Of $1,000. The treas
ury department never disturbed this
sum. Before 1908 the temporary de-
positories were not required to pay
interest. In 1912 they were requir-
ed to pay two per cent.
Having this $1,000 on deposit, the
bank was permitted to print "Gov-
eminent Depository" on it's windows,
it's stationery and advertising mat
ter. In other words, the Republican
administration entered into an ad-
vertising scheme pure and simple
with favored banks. For this gilt
edged advertising the favored banks
paid two per cent on 900 or $40
per year.
All the revenue the government
got out of it in four years was $685.
4O7.26.
On the other hand, in the 400 or
so regular repositories, the govern
ment has kept funds which have to-
tailed as high as $188,O00,000. On
this vast sum the Treasury has never
collected a dollar of interest. And
the secretary of the treasury could
give the money to whatever banks he
chose to favor.
The committee estimated that in
26 years the government, by not COL
Letting two per cent on this money,
lost $36,600,923.
: Moreover, the Republicans have
always kept. in the treasury a sum
far in excess of the amount needed
for a working balance. At times this
excess has equaled $65, 100000: Had
this excess been out earning two per
cent it would have brought $47,610,-
$50 to the treasury in rs years. .,

MANY MATTERS

OF 6ClAL IL If1E JOO hAN Al.
Tallahassee. April 6.-For several
weeks past, for the information Of the
public and of members of the legisIa-
ture, Gov. Park TrammeL has been
giving to the press certain of the rec
concentrations which he viii submit to
the legislature that will meet hero
next Tuesday.
The recommendation which have
been thus given out and printed con-
stHute only part of the many i'm
portant matters which will be dis
cussed in the message which will be
submitted to the two houses of the
legislature after their organization.
Gov. Trammells past experience as a
member of the legislature, his four
years recent service as attorney gener-
al and the information which he has
acquired since his inauguration as
governor, have made him very fami
liar with the condition of the states
public affairs and with the necessity of
reforms in very considerable num-
Der of the states laws and policies.
His message to the legislature will
be comprehensive document and will
contain many other features than
those which have recently appeared
in the newspapers.

PROTECTION OF
THE FORESTS OF
FLORIDA ASKED
CITIZENS APPLY TO DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE FOR
INFORMATION UPON WHICH A
LAW MAY BE PASSED STOPPING
DESTRUCTIVE METHODS.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Washington, April e.-Public spirited
citizens in Florida have applied to the
department of agriculture for informa-
ton upon which a law may be based
for the protection of the states forests.
They hold that fire, careless cutting
and destructive turpentining methods
have impaired a foremost industry Of
the state and unless some legislation
is devised to provide for thrift and
care in the management of woodlands,
Florida will suffer great financial
loss.
In such cases much help can be
gained by ascertaining what good leg
islatfon has been passed in other
states. In Louisiana, which has a
strong law providing for a state con-
servation commission, conditions are
analogous to those in Florida, par
ticularly as to the guile coast portion.
But if Florida attempts to deal with
it's turpentining problem ii will have
to adopt legislation that will be a
ground breaker.
Notwithstanding the urdoubted fact
that entirely unnecessary damage Is
done when too SIN IL timber is turpen-
tined, or when TOO many faces are put
on tree, or wfltsn boxing is resorted
to instead of tie more modern cup
methods, no state has yer dealth with
this form of w,S-4 of the forest re-
sources. Other aspects Of the forest
problem, however and especially the
the forest fire problem, have been the
subject of effective legislation in nine
teen states, particularIy~in New Jer-
sey, Maryland, and Louisiana
Even so distant 81 state as oregon,
has some forest fire laws which in the
opinion of the officials of the depart
ment could be adopted to advantage
by Florida. They point out that the
great curse OF southern woodlands is
fire. Even when It is intended that
cut-over lands shall be transformed
into farm lands, repeated fires in the
woods have burned up the leaves and
twigs on the ground and kept them
from decaying to form leaf mold. The
southern soil. both clay and sand. ac-
cording to the departments experts,
need nothing so much as this organic
matter, Or hunaus, and, as DR.. Seaman
Knapp often said. "YcU can't make
humus out Of smoke"
The Oregon law. iuss PASSED, pro-
vides that ti:nberJand owners in the
state shall patro! their holdings in
seasons of fire Danger. apC If they fail
to do 50 the state shall maintain a pa
rr7l, the cost OF the patrol to be at
tached as a tax lien against the prop
erty. In the opinion of the officials Of
the department this is one of the most
important and advanced fire protec-
tive laws vet assed by any state, they
think Its successful passage is due to
the excellent educational work done
by the Greg N Forest Fire Association, /
a voluntary organization of cumberland
owners.

down Mrs. Heinze's checks. but there
was a contented smile on her face. Mr.
Heinze was greatly affected and they

worse. but her mind was clear. She
repeatedly murmured that she was

piness. Her husband remained contin-
ually at her side. encouraging her in
the struggle.

Justice Tompkins at Newburg. This

instituted the suit because she be-
lieved that her self-respect demanded
it, not because she had ceased to love

FATHER KEEPS UP
SEARCH FOR GIRL
Ralph Schanck Alone in Quest
for Daughter Who Mys-
teriously Disappeared.
| Special to the Newark star.l

TRENTON, Dec. S-Efforts of the
police to secure any information about
Miss Grace Schanck, who mysterious
ly disappeared from this city October
%. have been fruitless. Miss Schanck
was still in her teens and resided
with her parents at 9S2 Prospect
street.
Ralph Schanck, the missing girls
father, can give no explanation for
the sudden disappearance of his
daughter. He is still searching for
her Mrs. Schanck has been pros
trated with grief. Mr.. Schanck. fol-
lowing the disappearance of Grace.
stoutly maintained the belief that his
daughter had been drowned in the
feeder canal, which runs through the
Cadwallader section of the city. not
far from the Schanck residence. This
belief was given credence by the re-
covery of his daughters hat and
handbag along the banks of the canal.
The stream was lowered and the
bottom of the feeder searched in the
expectation that Miss Schanck's body
might be there. Such was not the re-
suit, however, and this clue has been
abandoned.
The Mercer County Board of Free
holders offered q reward of 5000 for
information that might lead to her
recovery. The reward has, however,
been withdrawn. The parents of the
missing girl have learned of the dis
covery OF bodies in several parts of
the State, but in each case it was
someone other than Miss Schanck.
Mr. Schanck is now conducting his
search alone.
The police do not regard with any
degree of seriousness information fur
nished by Frank Terradell, a bridge
tender in the employ of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, at Perry street, that
he saw Miss Schanck as late as Sat
urday evening. November /, In this
city in the company of a man and
woman on train bound for New

their conversation that Asbury Park

turned to this city the following Mon
day, and after seeing a picture OF
Miss Schanck in a local newspaper
identified 1t as that Of the girl he had
seen on the train.
