Bankers Fight Guaranty Bills.

AICtuoI matter COIliuS up IS ClSpOS- al of the bills to provide for the guar anty by tLo state of deposits in state are pending before committees, three n tho house and four in the Senate. Bankers are opposing the measure, and a meeting of the Arkansas Bank CTS Association has been called to meet in Little Rock tomorrow to dis cuss this and other legislative mat ters of interest to bankers, including the Brown bill. It is probable the Senate Committee on Banking will withdraw the four bills pending be- fore it and submit substitute mea- sure. The substitute bill would be de- signed to eliminate some of the oppos- ition from bankers, and would make it optional with banks whether they should become part of the system.

 Another important bill by Senator Smith, which may come up, provides for "run-off' primaries where there are mere than two candidates fer state and district offices.

Contrary to the general opinion the
clause II the food bill just passed By
congress, fixing . minimum price Of
50 per bushel for wheat. does not ap-
ply to the 1917 crop but only 70 the
1913 crop. and then under conditions
that must be elaborated. There is no
fixed price for the 1917 wheat, but
the government will establish pnr-
chasing agencies at the principal
market centers. who are expected to
Ak the general purchasing price.
Grain exchanges are being asked %
suspend all quotations on futures. A
committee to fix prices will be ap-
pointed and these prices will prevail
without change or fluctuation through
out the season. There will therefore
be no object in holding the grain for
q higher price, and in order 70 pres
vent a congestion in the market the
government will be prepared to pur-
chase and hold the entire crop il me-
cessary. The plan is ideal for the
protection both Of the producer and
the consumer, but it yet remains to
be seen whether it will work.

The South Dakota express rate case
10 to have another hearing. a short
time ago the interstate commerce
commission decided that the, South
Dakota rates were too high TO cores
pond with the interstate rates, and
that in portions Of the state coming
in competition with Sioux City whole
sale dealers the intra state rates must
be raised. Now the case has been
reopened, and the first hearing will
be september 4th. In the meantime
the old rates will remain in force. It
would seem that the only question at
issue is whether the South Dakota
rates afe high enough to be reason
ably remunerative to the express
companies. # they are they should
not be raised simply to accommodate
outside shippers # our local rates
are high enough the interstate rates
must be too high. and the remedy il
to lower them.

There may be some merit in por-II
ton OF the demands made by the Fare
mer's Nom Partisan League that has
swept North Dakota, but those de-;
mands are not going to be secured by
sending out such blatherskites a.
.Townley, the president Of the League,
to advocate them. Townley spoke in
Sioux Falls short time ago, and so
disgusted the audience that the offic-3
ers of the farmer organization prompt
" repudiated the speech. He made
strictly pro- German talk, and in;
suited every loyal American. Such
talk may take in North Dakota where
they have the. largest per cent Of for
eign born citizens Of any state in the
Union, and have made the poorest
showing for patriotism of any state,
but a movement that bases its hopes
Of success on preaching anti-Ameri-
canism is not likely to get very far
in South Dakota, or any other loyal
state.

Some excitement was caused at
Tripp last Tuesday when United
States Marshal Taubman appeared
and placed fourteen citizens of the
town and vicinity under arrest, charg-
ed with sedition, and they were taken
through here to Yankton to be arr
araigned before the u. s. commissions
'er. It appears that threatening let
ters have been written to the sheriff
of Hutchinson county making various
demands upon him to change the adj
ministration Of the draft proceedings.
and petitions containing numerous
other equally ridiculous demands were
circulated and quite gener ally signed.
The men arrested were those who
have been active in this movement
but there are said to be many others
who were followers in the movement
who will be dealt with later.

hearing and were bound over under
$1,000 bonds to the federal grand

them are swearing political vengeance
on the local officers for informing on
them, but il the charges are proven
they border mighty close on treason
and if SO it may mean disfraachise-
ment and they will have no chance
Of getting political revenge.

over the regulations Of the draft, and
that in opposing the proceeding they
