Special to The Tribune.
Washington. d. c., Feb. 22.-John
D. Ryan and Bernard NJ. Baruch were
stoutly defended in the senate by
Senators Walsh and Myers and
Thomas Of Colorado, resenting the
charge Of Representative Mason that
Baruch had made $50,OOO,OOO out of
copper during the war. Senator
Thomas went into the whole subject
Of the treatment according military
and civil officers who played con-
spicious parts in winning the war.
Defending Baruch, Senator Thomas
included Charles NJ. Schwab and Ryan,
and declared that had these men been
Frenchmen. or Englishmen or Italians
they would have been treated as
heroes, instead of being charged with
thievery and other things as all of
these have in the United States.
Republicans Whitewashed.
Senator Myers directly charged that
the partisan investigating commit
tees' are playing politics rather than
trying to obtain the truth. He bitter
ly scored the injustice meted out to
Baruch. Ryan and Schwab but added
"Mr Schwab, Republican, was
charged with theft. He simply de-
MED it and the committee without
waiting to make report, officially
exonerated him. Mr.. Baruch and MIR.
Ryan, Democrats, were likewise
charged with theft. They have in
sistently denied the charge and corro-
borated the denial with unquestionable
proof yet the committee has never
officially or unofficially controverted
the charges.
Senator Myers declared that Mr..
Ryan is man whose integrity is be-
yond question and it never had been
questioned until indirectly in the
proceedings of partisan committee"
Walsh Especially Bitter.
Senator Walsh was especially bitter
in denouncing attacks on public men
by members of congress who take adj
Of the immunity from suits
for libel granted. He asserted that
men who made tremendous personal
sacrifices in helping to win the war
were villified and condemned without
being able to speak a word in their
defense.
He said that so far as Representative
Mason's charges that Mr.. Baruch made
$50 100000 in copper during the war
is concerned 'the plain truth Of the
matter has been repeatedly told on the
floor Of congress. and that is that the !
purchases were actually made below
the quoted market price for copper"

the federal reserve board Tuesday

governor of the board would act

ALASKA PATRIOTS

It would appar that the sooner Alaska is divorced from the influence of Seattle Aiaskans and placed into the hands of the men who have spent the better part of their lives in the territory, kept it's business and other institutions alive when every condi- tion pointed to failure, the better it will be for the territory. Alaska has been simply an adjunct to the north western states, which have put back but an infiuitesimal portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars taken from her borders. Her riches have been footed and she has been a DO. itical football for men who have placed their selfish interests above

those of the territory.

those of the territory.
 Owing to interference from the Seattle Alaskans the territory has had little opportunity to direct the affairs in which they are most vitally interested. Matters political have been matched and promulgated by lit tie coteries of men. Instead of Alas kans, resident in the territory, having voice in it's political destinies as affected by federal appointments, these matters are dictated from Seat tie. Whenever a question affecting the resourcs or destiny of the terri tory arises it is decided in Seattle and not by local public opinion or voice, thus reducing all bona fide Alaskans to the status of the Eli pino or other subject people.-An- chorage Times.

BANK DEPOSITS GUARANTEE

The words guarantee on bank de- the last legislature the matter of passing bill, making all the banks tn Alaska guarantee the deposits of the other banks was considered but no action was taken. In resub- hitting the measure at the present session, Governor Riggs suggested that the time is not ripe for such legislation.
 In this the governor is quite cor rect There are but fifteen banks in the territory of Alaska. Should 8 bank deposits guarantee law be passed it would mean that every bank in the territory would be re- sponsible for the deposits of the other banks. This could not be done as no financial institution in Alaska could afford to hold itself responsible for the affairs of another bank in the management of which it would have no say. No man of means could af- ford then to own stock in any bank. 1t would be too precarious an in vestment.
 But aside from the rights of the bank or the stockholders in banks, the depositors in Alaska banks could not afford it.
 Suppose. for instance that man having every confidence in the bank in Ketchikan should deposit his funds here, carry a large balance at all Knowing the bank, the officers back of it, the stockholders, he should have absolute confidence in it's man. agement. He would not have any hesitancy about leaving his funds on deposit, and he would be right.
 But, supposing again that condi- tion should exist, but another bank in some new placer mining camp should come under the management of reckless directors aud officers, with things temporarily booming. Suppose they obtained deposits of two million dollars or more and then went completely smash. Un- der the bank deposit guarantee every bank would have to pay depositors of the defunct institution in full, if they could.
 It doesn't take much imagination fA hot II, Yn hardship on the conservative insti- debtors and creditors.
 We do not want guarantee bank deposits law. What we want is a rigid bank examining law which we now have. The present banking board has done very well, having had but one bank failure since it was organized and that was due to loans made and conditions brought about prior to the time that the board was brought into being
 Incidentally, it might be said, that Alaska is fortunate in having a banker of the calibre of Walstein G. Smith as it's territorial treasurer and bank examiner, and regardless of politics, it is to be hoped that he will be retained under the Republican administration as we'll as under the Democrats. In fact at the time of his appointment by former Governor Strong, MT. Smith was known to be a Republican.-Ketchik Chronicle.

IDAHO EXPERIMENT
STATION PRAISED
Many and Varied Prob.
lens Met by Efficient
Organization

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, MOS
COW.-Success of the Idaho expert
ment station in meeting the many
and varied problems of Idaho agri-
culture was highly praised today by
DR.. E. w. Allen, of Washington, D.
c., chief of the office of experiment
stations of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who has been
investigating the work of the Idaho
station for the last three days. DR..
Allen is on tour of about two
months, in the course Of which he
will visit experiment stations in all
the states of the northwest. His last
visit to Idaho was made three years
ago.
DR.. Allen spent his time here not
only in going over the work of the
home station at Moscow, but in re-
viewing accomplishments Of the TO-
acre farm at Standpoint, operated for
study of farming methods on
logged-off land; 800 acres at Cald-
we'll, where seeding experiments are
conducted and soil experiments
made; 80 acres at Aberdeen, farmed
for study of irrigation under con-
ditions prevailing in that section, and
200 acre farm at Felt, conducted
for experiments in farming at an, alti-
tude of 5000 feet.
81 have spent three very interest
ing days here in going into the work
of the station in detail,' said DR..
Allen. 81 think a good deal has been
accomplished since l was here
before in organizing the several de-
partments of the station work and in
putting them on highly efficient
basis to study some Of the special
problems presented here in the state.
81 am impressed with the extent
to which this organization of the
work takes account of the fact of the
varying conditions due to types of
farming, altitude climate, soil con-
ditions, etc., and with the extent to
which provision has been made for
studying these out in the state where
such local conditions prevail.
"In my judgment the station is in
a position to cover in very effective
way the agriculture of the state. 1t
is in no sense local institution. 1t
is clear that it is working for the
state as a whole and is taking its in
vestigations into the field where its
problems lie. -
"For the funds at it's disposal l
think the showing which is made is
a highly commendable one.
1.-THE station is one in which the
people of the state may well take
pride and in which they may feel
large measure of confidence and in
terest.''
Clinton e. Norquist, U. S. meteoro-
logist at Boise, recently stated that
Idahos altitude varies from 700 feet
to $4,000 feet and it's latitude ex-
tends thru seven degrees, a range ex-
ceeded only by California and Texas,
while rainfall varies from less than
10 inches annually in the southern
dry belt to more than 40 inches in
the Occur d'Alenes.

Arctic Sheep Raisino.

That the arctic lands of northern

down to 81 degrees below zero, offer
unusual opportunities for growing
sheep. cattle, Siberian alfalfa and even
fruit, is the announced belief of an

mends the cruss-breeding of Canadian
and Siberian sheep to gain the hardy
qualities required.
