GUARANTEEING BANK DEPOSITS

No law on earth could have protected depOsitors
IN Montana banks from the financial cataclysm
which has wiped out so many of these institutions
IN the past few years.
Governor Erickson is doubtless aware of this
fact.
In recommending the appointment Of a COM
mission to investigate upon such legislation and
80 report its findings to the next legislature he
of course sidestepped the plank in the platform
upon which he was elected, calling for such a law,
but he no doubt realized that the scheme was I'M
practicable and such investigation would prove it.
And any bank deposit guarantee law must carry
with it a tax upon the banks, which is passed on
TO the people who deal with them.
The interest and payments upon the farm loans
m Montana, sent to eastern cities, gradually but
thoroughly drained all the money out of this state
during the period when there was little or nc
money coming in.
It was this outflow Of money, with no accom
panying and ccmpensating influx, that resultet
In closed banks and depOsitOrs' losses.
A bank guarantee law would be about as ef
aective in the face Of such conditions as . lgv

REACTIONS TO THE MESSAGE

While, as was TO be expected, the copper press
in Montana hailed Governor Erickson's message
as the greatest document of the kind that was
ever messed, the country weeklies for the most
part failed to- enthuse over the instrument.
Some are outspoken In their opposition to it's
recommendations, while others seem to be with
holding judgment.
All are anxious to see the state relieved of debt,
but Governor Erickson has palpably failed to
strike a responsive chord among the papers which
are closest to the people and taxpayers of this
state.

vs.
CANDIDATE erickson

When Candidate Erickson was going about over
9he state bemoaning and b~erating the alleged ex-
sravagance Of the Dixon administration, he sue
'~Nn8"d in deluding a good many people into the
45oreI That the evil complained of was real and
that he possessed a potent cure-all which would
speedily eradicate it.
But Governor Erickson has apparently learned
a good many things which Candidate Erickson
Sound it e~xpedient to ignore.
Governor Erickson finds that the states gen.
eral fund revenue for the next two years will be
%3,25O,0O0 per annum, including the returns from
she metal mines tax. which becomes operative
this year, whereas Candidate Erickson told the
voters that the general fund income was SO, $780,
900 annually, a discrepancy of half a million dol
Ears per year.
This mythical half million was among the huge
suns which Candidate Erickson declared were
5eing wasted.
Candidate Erickson declared that there were so
many boards and officials around the capitol that
the employees could not keep out of each others
gay, but Governor Erickson in his message makes
no recommendation which will relieve this fear
Eul congestion.
And as for taxes-Candidate Erickson wept
6itterly when he thought about the many new
and burdensome levies made upon the taxpayers
0ut does he advocate eliminating them? Nary a
one.
He would, however, cut out the state DEPART
Eaent of agriculture, which has done more for
the farmers of Montana during the past four
years than any other single agency, state or fed
g., 20 save" 100000 per year and he would pass
&he states share of county attorneys salaries
hack to the counties to "save" $4,000 more. He
vEould also save $4,000 a year by cutting out
travel pay to students who live in sections of the
state which are remote from the four branches
% the state university.
: All his in the name of Economy"
Consolidation of two or three boards into one,
dispensing with a few clerks and stenographers
-G1tting out a salaried highway commissioner and
eliminating the state purchasing agent, comforting
his duties upon the clerk Of the board of examin.
ers, will hardly bring about Candidate Erickson's
rosy prediction of saving a million a year.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether all the 'retrench
ments which the governor advocates would reduc,
Eae expenditures from the general fund million
dollars during his entire four-year term.
And it will be noted that the larger portion o
This Saving" is to be made through eliminatin,
the department of agriculture, with drawing al
from Montana young people who desire to atten
che higher institutions of learning in the stats
and by shifting an annual expense of $1,000
from the state to the counties.
After reading the message to the legislator,
one is impelled to believe that Governor Erickso
has found that many Of Candidate Erickson
can!paiga>statcments were the plain ordinary {
garden variety of bunk"

:" Am losing my seat.
This was the last official word

Land in Cabins
The aft section, containing two

were four men in the cooks cabin
and u in the engineer 5 cabin.
The latter jumped near the top of
a small hill and none were injured.

At this point the crew apparent
" was trying TO make the Shenan-
