tionable proposal, nor very import
ant one"
1T is small thing compared with
the guaranteeing of deposits that has
been proposed at various times and
tried in a state or two. The guar
anteeing of bank deposits by all the
banks acting mutually puts premium
on bad banking and imposes penalty
on good banking.
THAT objection does not apply to
this plan for using small part of the
profits of the regional reserve banks
to insure their deposits. The deposits
will be made by the member banks,
which will be represented on the di-
rectories of the regional banks. * v 1t

But The Sun will have none of it..
This may be deposit guaranty "in it's
least noxious guise'-but banking
judgment will regard it as only be-
ginning" And we read further:
Opinion will probably be that once
the new banking system is headed in
that direction, no prediction can safe

projection of the guaranty Of bank de-

seems likely to be more diverting

OF INTEREST TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The supreme court of the United
States has just published ruling in
regard to newspaper subscriptions
which in substance makes a subscriber
who takes his paper from the postof-
flee and refuses to pay subscription,
guilty of felony and liable to arrest as
any other who defrauds.
The following is a synopsis of the
decision in our final court:
/. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scription.
2. Subscribers ordering the discon-
tinuance of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodical from the post
office they are responsible until they
settle their bill and order their paper
discontinued.
T. II subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher
and any paper sent to the former ad-
dress, subscribers are responsible.

while two members of the old board
which had endeavored to keep the sin
sle-tax amendment off of the ballot
were recalled Quoting further from
The Public's modestly exultant edi-
torial on the Pueblo victory:
In declaring for the single tax in
municipal affairs the voters of the city
have put themselves on record as fav-
oring the first effective step toward
social justice. Comparatively few
persons, outside of Pueblo, were aware
on election day that in that small city
was being fought an issue of more i'm
portance than any issue at stake in the
country's metropolis. Not many more
realize that fact even now. But it is
fact nevertheless. The putting into
effect of single tax in Pueblo must fur
nish an object lesson that must teach
other cities the wisdom of adopting the
same policy. The experience of New
Zealand, Australia, and Canada has
shown that no city which has once
adopted the single-tax system has
voluntarily abandoned it. That is the
difference between adoption of fun
damental reform and adoption of such
superficial reform measures are re-
placing gang-ruled officials with bet

DEPOSIT GUARANTY IN THE CUR.

Mr.. Bryan's former advocacy of
