TIME OF WILDCAT BANKS
Name for Unsound DsposItories VIZ
Derived From Picture Of Early
Day Notes.

The term wildcats" today applied
% worthless securities Of any descrip-
ton, was originally the name given
70 certain banks In Michigan. Back
In 1897 there was severe financial
panic. Many banks failed. The cur
rency which they had circulated b.
came worthless. many bogus banks
started up and issued ''bank notes"
and the country was overrun with Q
swarm Of counterfeiters. Banking and
business were demoralized and. to
make matters worse. lax legislation
was passed In many states, permitting
almost any kind of financial robbery
In the name OF banking.
Such was the case in Michigan.
where 40 banks were started under q
law Of fraudulent character. These
banks were called wildcats" because
the bank notes issued by them bore
q picture Of that animal. All but four
of these failed within two years, hence
the term wildcat" to denote a very
Insecure financial obligation-Muncia

THE same fellows who last year
I blamed Coolidge for the big wheat
crop and resulting low prices, are
now busy trying to explain how
Coolidge lost. control OF this years
crop. Now if they just admit that
they lied last year, we will admit
that Coolidge hasn't corner on this
years crop. We would like to take
the liberty of pointing out, however,
that a young fellow named Dawes
was sent to Europe by Messrs Cool
idge and Hughes and while there
evolved a little plan that is already
having a stabilizing effect on pro-
ducts we have hitherto been unable
to sell to Europe.

NOT AN ACCIDENT

rs 1T just an accident that Jim Reed
= of Missouri and Bob La Toilette
of Wisconsin made it so hard for this
country to conduct the war against
Germany, or was it because these
states had large German populations ?
We have 4S states and Sc senators
which makes it 48 to 1 shot tina.
Jim and Bob were playing politics
Now AZ times 4s equals 2304. Is I.
then not proper to suggest that II
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-08-07

might be 1904 to one shot that both
of these "most willfup senators were
playing politics with German con-
stituents during the war Is it not
then proper to ask further, would
it not be about 4S to one shot that
each of these weather-vanes would
have been pro-ally had they repre-
scented some of the states? And
might it not also be fair to multiply
4s by 4s again, making it 23O4 to
one shot again that had both these
"most willful" senators represented
pro-ally states that they would not
both he classed as our "most willful'
senators?
Of course figures and percentages
are sometimes misleading, but we
predict that many Germans, when
thew 90 to mark their ballots, will
instinctively feel that vote for La
Toilette is a vote for Benedict Ar
mold. We would not trust member
of the German Reichstag who under
mined Germany during the war; so
univ nresume that the Germans have
a lower sense of honor and are going
TO trust a man like La Toilette.
It was not an accident nor a Co
incidence that caused La Toilette t"
boost the Kaiser. Nor was it by ac-
cident that the Wisconsin delegation
double-crossed the farmers on the
McNary-Haugen bill, and then knit
ed Judge Kenyon as a candidate Tor
vice-president. We might as well
say it was by accident that La Fol
lette wrote his platform after the
other parties had drafted theirs, and
it was just an oversight that caused
him not to mention the 18th amend
ment or enforcement of the Volstead
Act. Then again it might be just by
accident that La Toilette got the rep
utation of embarrassing his friends
and his party every time there was
an opportunity to advertize himself.
Then too, it might be just a series
of condolences that has caused all
the big men of the progressive wing
of the republican party from Roose-
Welt down to Senator Capper, to dis
trust La Toilette.
Yet some people are careless
enough to call La Toilette another
Lincoln. Ye, Gods Get out a picture
of the great emancipation and COM
pare it to the eternal sheer on the
face of the man from Wisconsin.
Then if you are too warped by false
propaganda to see the difference,
hand the picture to little child and
have him lead you.

faction without justification. We
therefore again suggest the formation
of a city club. And we ask again,
"Whither are we drifting?"
THE SUGAR TRUST

TIME tariff commission has just
i handed Mr.. Coolidge a divided re-
port on the question of whether or
not the tariff on sugar should be
reduced. The request for reduction
was made by the big sugar interests
which own plantations in Cuba, and
have control of the refineries at the
ports of entry in this country. These
interests control about four-fifths OF
sugar consumed in the United States.
Their only competition comes from
the beet and cane growers Of this
country. r.. TX ..-.-s.
Now before the president has time
to read this report and determine the
difference in cost of production be-
tween this country and countries that
can raise sugar more cheaply. La
Toilette Jumps into the breach, along
side the sugar trust and demands a
reduction in tariff. We paid no at
tention to La Toilette when he pulled
this rough stuff as senator from
Wisconsin, but as candidate for
president, his acts bear scrutiny.
In the first place La Toilette al
ways claimed he wanted a non-parti-
IAN tariff commission. Now when
this commission makes one of its
first important reports, he tries to
use it as a political issue, because
we have more consumers than sugar
raisers, especially in sections where
La Toilette expects to get any votes.
Of course he doesn't try to explain
how we can control the price Of for
eign raised sugar after he and the
sugar trust bust the American grow
ers. The election will be over by
that time.
There is another little side issue
to this question that is very impor-
tant. The national debt is being re-
duced over 100000 every hour Of
the day and night. Besides this we
are paying hundreds Of millions an
nually in interest on the natioal debt,
while some countries can't even pay
interest. The La Toilette statement
at this time is not only improper be-
cause of his lack of information on
the findings Of the commission, but
it is worse than improper to DEM
ogogue or try to make capital out Of
a non-partizan issue, without at least
showing US how to raise revenue
while he is wrecking one industry af-
ter another.
All Of which proves that La Fol-
lette will even line up with a trust
if there are votes in it. He is the
most versatile demogogue of his gen.

BECAUSE of high prices and goot

BECAUSE of high prices and good
crops in the middle west, state af-
ter state is being conceded to Cool
idge. All of which we admit is moth
ing but a reflection on the intelli-
pence of the farmer. We will further
admit that La Toilette would not
have been candidate if he could
have read the weather signs that brot
on the worlds crop shortage. But
not to be outdone in generosity, we
admit gracefully that lack of rain
in Horse Heaven and late frosts in
the valley have made lot of votes
for La Toilette.

THE CHAUTAUQUA

COME are willing to support chau-
-. tauaua If the program can be
so arranged that We might be able
to trade numbers with some neigh
boring town so that Kennewick viii
get suitable Sunday entertainment.
All of which reminds US Of the testi-
mony of young lady convert at a
revival meeting. She said in part:
az used to wear bright colored clothes
and stockings. had lot Of ribbon and
powders and paints, but found that
all these things were taking me down
to hell, so gave them to my little
sister," AL .@
Now it seems to us that we should
either take or ditch the chautauGua
on its merits alone and have enough
consideration for other communities
to allow them an even break on a
suitable Sunday program. We are
Informed that over two hundred
towns are involved in the arrange
ment Of the six day circuit, yet some
In Kennewick insist these two hun-
dred towns must allow as to arrange
the circuit for them or we won't play.
II the chautauqua is wrong m one
town, It must be wrong in all II
Sunday programs are wrong the in
stitution responsible for them in
other towns should be banned from
Kennewick.
We realize Of course, that some
people will not like this plain talk
but why beat around the bush about
another chautauqua contract? A lot
of business men have been abused for
not stepping forward again to put on
this show, but the very men who
insist most upon regulation will not
20 on the committee so that they win
be in a position to help regulate it
or know the facts that might make
regulation impossible.
Furthermore some business men in
Kennewick refuse to sign contract
that dictates the order Of the pro-
gram to two hundred other commun-
files on the ground that such po-
sition is inconsistent and unsports-
manlike. Most Of these men would
prefer to pay for, and then cancel the
performance for Sunday, rather than
put themselves in such a position.
In our opinion the latter course
should be followed, despite the fact
that Sunday is probably the best
paying day in the week. Neverthe-
less, we do feel that at least some
of the men who insist on regulating
or closing the tent on Sunday, should
step forward and go on the commit
tee, or at least do part of the work
that is thrown on the committee.
The Ellison White people this week
have another man in Kennewick try
ing to organize this community. Of
course, all this costs money. The two
hundred other towns are footing the
bills, while we continue our local rag
ging match. A few weeks ago we sug-
gested that this community get to-
gether and form a city club COM
posed Of representatives from half
dozen organizations Of the town, so
that we could get together and de-
eide on what we want and don't
want, without a lot Of pickering and
misunderstanding. During the last
year we have seen the motives of
nearly every organization in town
questioned by some other club or
