MEDFORD PUBLISHING COMPANY George Putnam, Editor and Manager. Admitted as Second-Class Matter in the Postoffice at Medford, Oregon. SUBSCRIPTION -RATES. On month, by mail or carrier. . . .0.50 Om rear, by mail 5.00 IN SUH1 SO It ASK DEPOSITS. The strongest plank in Mr. Bryan's platform is that advocating the guarantee of hank deposits. Certainly none appeals more strongly to the average man. Financial stringencies follow panics, which are large ly caused through reckless financiering and loss of public confidence. If a depositor was assured that his money was safe in the bank in which he had placed it, there would be no runs on banks; no withdrawals of money from cir culation to hidden places until the owners felt it safe to again trust it with some bank ; and no consequent depres sion. It would seem that the average honest banker would cheerfully pay a slight tax, which would jirotect him from destruction by a panic among depositors and there is no bank but that is occasionally threatened. In addition, bankers would not feel that they had to keep a large amount of cash idle in vaults to prevent such emergency. Under the Bryan plan, depositors of a failed bank are to be paid out of a fund collected by a slight tax on banks, and this money is to be repaid as far as possible out of the assets of the failed bank, which does not escape lia bility. Bank depositors are entitled to protection, and they have never had it. Even if the law would bear heavily on bankers, which it does not, the few trusted with the savings and capital of the many should furnish the re quired protection. In addition, the knowledge that their depositors were protected would avoid many a sleepless night by bankers whose assets, while good, cannot be real ized upon at a minute's notice, as may be demanded any day under the present system. It is Hard to understand the opposition of Mr. Taft and others to the proposed guarantee plan, except that it originated with Bryan and therefore should be damned. The relief afforded to the people in all ranks of life, even to the bankers themselves, would justify the law. No more runs on banks, no more bank "holidays" and clearing house money, and no more panics and the cost in appreciable even to banks. I To Op.raU Thia Maaterpiac Air la I tha Firat Necessity.
