THE SILENT FORGET. Nor
ris Longstreth. This is richly
dramatic history of the Mounted
Police of Canada story of the
boldest, most adventurous and eff
ficient force ever organized to
plant order and defend the law in
the outposts of civilization.
Mr.. Longstreth knows the Police
from personal contacts with them
in their far-flung detachments
from Nova Scotia to British Col
umbia, from the United States
boundary to the Arctic Sea. He has
had access to the original records
of the police. He gives facts about
its present organization and the
compass of its work.
Because of his friendship with
these men, his sharing of bread and
tent with them, and because of his
appreciation of their courage and
spirit, Mr.. Longstreth has been
able to gather unusual material and
to give picture of the force never
before made public. He has recre-
ated the atmosphere of the old
days and gathered a wealth of WV
id adventure tales about the new
DISCOVERY-A Richard
e. Byrd. Admiral Richard E. Byrd's
personal account of the second ex-
petition is called Discovery. In this
volume the adventures of the men,
their mishaps and victories, are
given less emphasis than they were
in Little America, the story of the
first voyage.
This book contains the account
Of Admiral Byrd's lonely vigil in
the Boiling Advance Weather sta
ton, where he nearly lost his life
during the four hard months Of
winter darkness. Far from the 9TH
ers, Byrd lived in the dark because
there was not time to bring suffic-
lent supplies for three men. There
is also good evidence Of his good
sense and his ability to command
fifty-two men marooned on block
of ice thousands of miles from
home, where the thermometer Of
ten went farther south than any
body could have imagined.
It is the story of patient and res
olute labor of intelligent men and
gives essential information about
the Antarctic that we ought to
know.

Every insured bank is required
by law to display over each window
where deposits are received a sign
stating that deposits are insured
up to the maximum of $1,000" All
depositers should look for this sign,
and if in doubt, ask the banker If
the deposits in his institution are

have no fears-it is safe.

erous requests received from al
parts Of the State, asking, What
is the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and what is it's pur.
poser"
The Federal Deposit insurance
Corporation was created by Con-
gress shortly after the bank holi-
day of March, 1888, to provide pro.
lection for all depositers in banks
that wished to avail themselves of
this service.
The initial fund to start the Cor
poration was provided by Congress.
Additional funds have come from
Federal Reserve banks and from
all insured banks. The Corpora
tons assets now total about 800
million dollars and at the present
time it may be termed self-support-
ing.
Need for such an organization
is apparent. From 1921 to 1882.
1886 banks, with aggregate de-
posts of $4,885, 10000 failed in the
United States; an average of 901
each year. Since Federal Deposit
Insurance went into effect over
two years ago, only SO banks in
the United States have failed.
Twenty-seven of these failures
occurred since January 1884. De-
positors were able to recover all
money placed with these twenty
seven banks for safe-keeping be-
cause all losses We're protected by
deposit insurance. ONLY ONE IN
SURED BANK HAS CLOSED IN
MINNESOTA! Ninty-five percent
of all banks in Minnesota protect
their depositors by carrying this
insurance.
A bank wishing to protect it's
depositors makes applications for
membership. Before such member
ship is granted, competent examin-
ers of the Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation must deter
mine that the bank is solvent and,
in addition, that it has adequate
capital and that there is an eco
nomic need for bank in the COM
munity to be served. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation will
not accept for membership any
bank beginning business in a COM
munity that appears to be suffi-
GENTLY served. After a bank is
accepted, periodical examinations
are conducted. If at any time it
is evident that unsound practices
are being pursued, the corporation
may, after a proper hearing, ter
inmate the insurance of the bank
in question; or a bank not desir-
ing to continue to offer this pro-
lection to it's depositors may with
draw. However, in either case
the Corporation must notify all de-
positors. No bank is required to
protect it's depositors with insur-
ance. Such protection is purely
voluntary on the part Of the bank.
Every type of deposit in an in
sured bank is protected up to S.
900. In the event that an individual
has on deposit more than $1,000,

FARMER-LABOR
BY A. i, Harris

Just before his departure foi
Rochester to undergo a stomach
operation which will keep him con
fined for two weeks, Governor Oh
son let 1t be known that plans FOL
his much-talked Of debate with
Governor Talmadge of Georgia
have virtually been completed.
The Governor said that the de
bate, in all likelihood, will be held
in Madison Square Garden the ear.
ly part of February. The subject, OF
course, will be the dangers to the
Constitution from the courts. Gov.
ernor Olson maintains that the
courts have done more to destroy
the Constitution than any other
single agency, or even all other out
side agencies combined.
The Governor expects the special
session of the Legislature to end
the latter part of January, by
which time he will fully have re-
gained his health. Incidentally, the
Governors plans to proceed with
the Talmadge debate and &c
through with other Of his plans be-
lie the vicious stories appearing in
the public press that his operation
was to remove a malignant tumor.
Such is not the case.
BY refusing to resign as Cover
nor, so that his successor can name
him to the United States Senate to
fill the unexpired term caused by
the death of Senator Schall, the
states chief executive has shown
that he is not the opportunist his
enemies claim him to be. His aspir-
alton is the Senate, and yet when
1t was handed him on silver plat
ter, so to speak, he scorned the
proffer. II will go to the Senate on
ly by vote of the people," he de-
clared.
And yet the Governor told friends
privately that no session of Con-
gress would he enjoy participating
in better than the coming Congress.
The national problems unem-
ployment relief +. neutrality.
With his broad humanitarian vi
sion, his ability as a speaker, the
production for use program, all
would have contrived to make of
him a national leader. But not
even this lure could tempt him. He
has given convincing proof that the
democratic principles and ideals he
has espoused are deep convictions
and not the insincere professions of
the politician.
Appointment by Governor Olson
of Elmer A. Benson, state commits
sioner of banking, to the United
States Senate to serve the remain
ing term of the late Senator
Schall brings to office an outstand-
ing Farmer-Laborite and a true
liberal.
Benson Is forty years old, an ov-
erseas veteran, and a member of
the American Legion and the Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars. A member
of the Farmer-Labor party since
its inception, he received the in
dorsement for the senatorship from

REPUBLICAN,

Governor Floyd B. Olson, some.
what sore in the seat of his pants
from the repeated paddlings which
the Minnesota supreme court has
given him, some weeks ago deliver
ed himself of the dictum that
"thruout American history" the
danger to the Constitution has
come from the judiciary, which,
the Governor further affirms, has
constantly usurped it's authority"
Historians do not agree with the
Governor. They say that the his
tory of the world has not recorded
many instances of judicial usur-
patton and that judicial usurpa-
ton, when 1t has come, has invari-
ably come from a judiciary SUBJ
servient to the executive. It is not
the judiciary which seizes power
and plays the tyrant. Mussolini,
Hitler and Stain did not throw off
the ermine and step down from the
bench to become dictators. It is
not against the judiciary that
eternal vigilence is the price of
liberty, but against the constant
aggressions of the executive.
There were tyrants before there
were judges or lawmakers. Parlia-
ments and courts were set up to
keep within due bounds that vault
ing ambition to rule which surges
executive breast. The Brain Trust
today yields as grudgingly to Mag
ma Charta as did King John CEN
turtles ago. The struggle of all
time has been between the execu-
tor of laws and the maker of laws.
Always the administrator wants al.
so to be the lawgiver.
You ought to hear the pet names
which his Excellency calls the Min
nesota legislature in private con-
versation.
Faced with the necessity of un-
snarling the knotty relief problem,
Minnesota senators and represen-
tatives in special session assembled
have shown some irritation over
the relief commitments of the Ex-
ecutive Council. They should not
fuss too much. The Executive
Council is their own chicken come

thing, is a favorite political dodge
Of the FL (fool 'em and loot 'em)
strategy. The Leader said last
winter that the independent pro-
gressives were attempting to block
relief; at the very time of this mis-.
printing the farmer labor members
of the legislature were filibuster-
ing against the relief measures
'$lO, 100000 relief, 100000 drouth
relief and $4,000 seed loan) which
the independent progressives later
forced thru.
If you see it in the Minnesota
Leader (which Walter Light was
wont to call "the Misleader") it
probably isn't so.
Like Caesar, Governor Olson put
the crown from him, fervently de-
claring that he would never be
United States senator from Min
nesota except by the vote of the
people. 1t is fine sentiment and
does the Governor credit.
but why didn't he stick to his
last? If he is really solicitious that
the will of the people should be
carried out, why did he not ap-
point Mrs. Thomas D. Schall to
fill out the unexpired term of her
husband? That would have been
carrying out the will of the people.
for the people elected Senator
Schall for six year term.
The appointment of Crown
Prince Elmer A. Benson simply
serves the uses of partizan poll
tics and thwarts the will of the
people, emphatically expressed,
that a republican in the person of
III omas d. Schall should represent
them in the United States senate
for six years. Fate, or an intelli-
gence wiser than any human I'M
Outstanding, has made it impos-
sible that the clearly expressed
will of the people should be
completely carried out. but had
the Governor appointed Senator
Schalls widow he would have en-.
forced the will of the people as
as is humanity possible.
OF course, that would not be-
practical politics as it is played
in Minnesota and many other
places, but it would have proved
that the Governors solicitude for
the will of the people was sincere
and not merely splendid gesture.

the Farmer Labor state executive
committee and the state central
committee.
In statement to the press Mr..
Benson asserted that he would give
his unqualified support to the lib
eral bloc in the Senate. Benson g
appointment means that the state
will be represented in the Senate at
the next session of Congress by an
all-Farmer-Labor delegation.
Casualty insurance premiums
were paid to line companies in
Minnesota in 1884 to the tune of
approximately $17,000,OOO. For this
the insurance companies paid back
to injured subscribers the sum of
$7500,0O0, showing for themselves
a tidy profit of about 100000.
Advocates of cooperative insurance
point to this as a strong argument
for cooperative insurance.
