Bar Harbor. June 27.-Addressing
the Bankers Association of Maine in
session here, Hon. Garrard B. Wins
ton, Under-s secretary of the Treas
ury, said:
Government must, and always will,
exercise a profound influence upon
the happiness of its people and their
prosperity. We cannot escape this
influence. We probably cannot pre-.
vent new Internationally as cap
able of good or ill. New conditions
will arise, or seem to arise. and new
laws will be passed by reason Of
these conditions. There Is nothing
to be feared in this, provided the
theories upon which the laws are
passed are proven by experience.
SoundneSS cannot be a question OF
new conditions or of complexity OF
civilization. Principles do not change
with the times. A people with laws
based on sound principles and with
sound methods of administration
presents the characteristic of being
the best governed because the nor
NAL conduct of it's life is least dis
turbed. 1t is on this subject wish
to speak.
There is no closer contact with the
people of this country, and certainly
with you and your business, than
the fiscal operations of the United
States. l can speak Of the Treasury
because here Is field with which
| have become familiar. and l can
show you what mean by being gov
erned less upon three different points
where the Treasury meets the pub
lie: first. one Of existing policy; Sec
ond, one of method; and, third, one
Of future policy. l have taken these
three examples because they are va
ried. The existing policy referred to
is that of public debt retirement:
the method is that of handling Gov
