BIG CRY. LITTLE WOOL.

he movement represented in the organization
Of the Nonpartisan League has been actively under
way Tor more than SIX years. During that time
members of the League have been paying dues, or
obligating themselves for that purpose, to the tune
of from 100000 to $5O0,00Oa year. The dues paid
in cash of by note or check must run anywhere
from So, 1000, 900 to $4,000, 900. The amount paid by
farmers as their contribution to the Consumers
Stores enterprise will almost double that. Several
hundred thousand dollars have been paid by farm
ers tor newspaper properties acquired by the League
or to be operated in its interest. As to the amount
represented by accommodation notes signed by in
dlvlduals Tor various amounts, notes which the
makers have been called on to meet, there: is no
means of making even a close estimate. But when
the whole thing is checked up it is apparent that in
actual contributions of cash or written obligations
tor which they are held responsible, the farmers of
North Dakota have paid directly to the men who
have been associated in the management oftfre Nom
partisan League and its subsidiary agencies not less
than $4,000, 900.
A disectly representing this. expenditure they
have a handful of bankrupt stores whose affairs are
being wound up as rapidly as possible, a small
string OF decrepit newspapers-and that is, about all.
The two concrete assets which have a real COM
mercial value which the people of the state have
now and which they did not have six years ago are
the Drake mill and the uncompleted mill and eleva-
Tor at Grand Forks. At the most liberal estimate
possible the combined value of these two plants as
they stand does not exceed 81, 600, 900 and, be it re-
mernbered, not a dollar of the ten million-more or
|IcSS-Wll1Cu inc dlH1eIS nave pd1Q as lnQ1F1QualS
has gone into those properties. The money with
WHICH to buy the one plant and start the construc-
ton OF the other has been borrowed on the credit
of the state, and the farmers who have been financ-
ing the League and its side lines must join with all
the other citizens in the payment of taxes with
which to meet the obligations thus incurred.
Suppose that instead of undertaking to finance
Mr.. Iownfey's visions the farmers of North Dakota
had six years ago undertaken to finance their own
mill and elevator proposition, and had paid into a
fund for that purpose exactly the sums that they
have actually paid in League dues, store certificates,
accommodation notes, and so forth. If the estimate
of ten million is anywhere near correct they. would
have had the Drake plant bought, paid for and in
operation for several years. They would have had
the plant at Grand Forks completed and in opera
ton long ago. And they would have on hand five
million dollars or more with which to duplicate
these plants if desired, or to use in any other. man
ner that suited them. They would have had all this
without loading up with taxes the property of every
ether citizen of the state.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postmaster General Hays not long ago an
nounced his purpose to inaugurate plans for the eS-
tension Of the postal savings work in a manner
which he thought likely to place in circulation
many millions Of dollars which are now idle, and
still further to encourage the habit of systematic
saving among the masses. /.
Senator Shepherd of Texas goes Mr.. Hays sew
cral better in a bill which he has recently introduce
ed. His bill provides among other things, for the
abolition Of the limit on postal savings and for the
making Of savings accounts as liquid as our ordi-
nary bank accounts. He would have postal saw
'ngs deposit certificates transferable, and by several
devices which are enumerated in the bill, he would.
have them become practical additions to the ordi-
nary currency of the country.
Such an arrangement is opposed both by the
Postmaster General and the Secretary Of the Treas
TRY. The opposition to it seems to be sound. The
plan as proposed by Mr.. Shepherd would be en-
tirely contrary to the primary purpose of the postal
savings bank. The intent which governed the or
ganization Of Our postal savings system was to pro-
vide an opportunity for the accumulation of small
savings with absolute safety and in a manner as
convenient as possible to the people. 1t was not a
part of this purpose that money so saved should be
readily accessible. The savings account as it
stands now is not 4 checking account. Its certif-
Gates cannot be transferred. The individual who
carries such all account, if he desires to- withdraw
any portion of it, must go to some little trouble to
do SO. He must withdraw his entire account, and
il he wishes to continue, must start a new one.
There is therefore not the temptation to use these
savings for purposes of current expense. The
money having been saved once. remains as savings
and not as an expense fund. The plan proposed by
the Texas senator would destroy this stimulus to
saving. If savings certificates were transferable at
will, they would pass from hand to hand in pay
ment OF current expenses and except for the very
trihing interest earned, the sums might as we'll be
represented by dollar bills. The element Of securi-
~ would Be impaired because with full transfer
privileges, it would be impossible for the govern
rne1t to make good the loss Of certificates as is done
now whenever necessary. The whole plan, while
probably we'll meant, would result in destroying the
efficacy OF the savings bank system for the purpose
for which it was established. and the opposition Of
the heads of the two departments most immediately
affected seems to be entirely logical and, sound.
