deposits; (b) to make loans, and (c)
to issue bank notes, the latter being
confined to the national banks ana
fedearl reserve banks.
It Is we'll at the beginning OF this
series TO make a distinction. When
you open an account with a bank Of
discount in Its checking department
you create a different relationship
than when you open an account in
the savings department. When you
open a checking account you say In
the eyes OF teh law: This money Is
mine. ! deposit 1t with you-it is
not yours. accept credit on your
books and you are my debtor !
shall expect my money on demand,
and will make this demand by draw
ing checks on you" But when you
open a savings account, you say: Il
am willing to enter into special
contract with you. will accept the
pass book you give me as evidence OF
my deposit with you, and agree to be
bound by the rules and regulations
found therein. will not draw
checks on you, hut will present the
book at every withdrawal. and I'also
agree to give you notice OF withdraw
al, should you require 1t as neces-
sary measure OF protection"
In mutual savings bank you go
a bit further and say: Take this
money and invest 1t for me. You are
my trustee to do this. The law tells
you what securities you may purchase
and expect you to obey the law Pay
your expenses, establish n surplus or
guaranty fund to save me from losses
by reason OF depreciation Of securities
or otherwise, and pay me the balance
as interest. 1t Is my bank; you sim
ply run it for me-" You will see by
this process that you become part
ner IN the savings bank and creditor
in the other.

Representative Philip Pitt, of Kan
sas, one of the most astute Republl-
cans OF the House, views the outlook
for 1916 with great complacency and
optimism. He says: "The Republi-
cans are not doing any worrying this
time. The recent gathering Of the
Democratic national committee
showed conclusively that their enthu-
siasm of four years ago was consplcu-
GUS by its absence. Then they dis
played the utmost confidence, now
they are going about with apprehen-
sion and misgivings. The Democrats
are getting their only comfort and
cheer from the fact that the Repub-
licans have not settled on any candl-
date. believe the Republicans were
never so strong as when there was
doubt about whom to nominate.
When we meet in convention we will
name the great and good man. who
will lead US to victory and to national
prosperity"
Former Congressman Polite Ell

of the House greeting old friends and

AT the time he was elected he was
one of the youngest men ever chosen

man and is one OF the leading Re
publicans of Missouri, and was a del
egate to the Chicago convention from
that state in 1912. In speaking OF
the outlook in Missouri from a Re-
publican angle in 1916, he said to a
group of members: Gust keep your

GOOD RESULTS FROM
OILING THE STREETS

Councilman McIver, chairman of the
street committee, and the other men,
bers of the council, are impressed
with the results obtained by the use
of oil on the streets. Since the city
oiled Ocklawaha avenue, the first of
the year, there has been little or no
repair work done. More oil will be
purchased, and additional streets oil
ed. Councilman McIver is of the
opinion, too, that any rough places
appearing on the oiled streets should
be repaired as they appear. He has
just finished repairing the Lake
Weir road from South Eighth street
to the city limits, and contemplates
giving it coat of oil and sand.
Extra labor will be employed for
the work on the Silver Springs road,
and Mr.. McIver wants the assistance
of the citizens who recently volun-
teered to aid in the repairing of this
popular and important highway.
Councilman McIver has also point
ed out the necessity of having a
tank to keep oil in for street pur-
poses, so that it will not be necessary
to use the oil indiscriminately mere
ly to get it out of the tank cars in
which it comes.

Robertson, "why any provision should
be made for cess pools, when the sew
erage system is accessible, and no ex-
ception or discrimination should be
made regarding sewerage connec-
tions." Council thought this objection
was also covered by the ordinance,
which provides that cesspools shall be
used only where connection with the
sewerage system is not feasible. The
ordinance calls for "a sanitary cess
pool, wherever it is necessary to in
stall one. 1t was pointed out that
there is a difference between cess
pool and sewer well. The ordinance
does not permit sewer wells at all.
