Aiarcn a, lain THURSDAY i OCT. ia, 1908 Make honest banks suffer The trouble in which the Suriber bunk nt LnGrnnde is now involved is but nn incident in commercial life. It has no bearing whatever upon the rest of th& banking business of Ore gon. From reports received here it appears the trouble arose because the people of La Grande suspected Scriber of dishonest'. If he was dishon est he will be punished. But Other banks should not be made to suffer. East Oregonian. No, they should not. But the editor of the East Oregonian is inconsistent, for he is support ing the latest pet scheme of Mr. Bryan, the government guaran tee of bank deposits, which is nothing less than making the ''other banks" suffer for the dis honesty of those banks which make away with their deposi tors' money .Under the democrat ic plan as advocated by Mr. Bry an the government would guar antee the deposits, but it would be the safe and soundly con ducted banks of the country who would pay the bill. They would "suffer" to just the ex tent to which the crooked bank ers succeeded in fleecing thnr depositors, for the democratic platform of 190S pledges the party to legislation under which the national banks shall be re quired to establish a guarantee fund for the payment of deposi tors of any insolvent national bank, and making the system available to any other banks desiring to join in such plan. The system would only facili tate the process of plundering the public through "wild-cat" banks, for the government guar autee would tempt the deposi tor, wlfo would tiof under that plan have occasion to use dis crimination in selecting the de pository for his money. I' would increase the deposits in dishonest banks, and the cor respondingly increased losses -would be borne by the honest and capably-managed banks. tChis plan proposed by Mr. Bryan does not commend itself to the person who believes that common honesty should be an asset in business as well as in pjivate life. WAITING ON THE ELECTION Oregonian It is well known that many business transactions are await ing the event of the Presiden tial election. It is within every person's knowledge. "Wait till after the election, then we'll see," is the most common re mark one hears these days. It may not be wise, as we think, for all of tis will' still be here after the election, no matter what the result, and we should and must make the best of it. But it is useless to deny thai lippiehension exists, afl to con sequences, should Bryan be elected. It exists among not a few even of those who still; out 'of partisan feeling, will vote for Bryan. For gratification of par tisan feeling is a luxury with Hiany; even if they are in doubt iibout the further consequences of it. , . . It is right and proper for a iitwspaper, or for a party com Jhiitee; if either shall desire, to iliafee inquiry athong business iHeri; tt'o to their opinion as to Ihe pfo,babll0 effect,5 on business and affairs, of the success of one iiiirfy or flnbUM. Mr. Bryan's course on many matters relating to money and monetary stand nrd, and thereforo to industry nnd business in general, to gether with his propagation of disturbing ideas that throw doubt upon credits and mainte nance or growth of values, is n fact not to be disregarded for it is present with us, it is noted; here, and in all parts of the country. They who feel the apprehension did not create it. It has been created by the ca reet of Mr. Bryan and by the course of his party. Every campaign he makes is, virtu ally, a olass war. A GOOD OMEN The farmers of Crook county are in might' good spirits over the fine soaking rain of Inst week. The ground was very dry after an unusual period of drouth and the rain was badly needed. Pall rains were due, but one of such duration was hardly to be hoped for. The rains lasted almost through the week, and very little of the moisture went to waste. However, as has been said before, Nature has a way of evening up things, and the rain was by all rights due us, alter the long dry spell. It will go a long way towards gettiug the 1009 crop under way, and it is a happy omen for the next sea sou's crop. BLIND PIGS GOOD PORKERS That there is more in a pig than appears in his face is a very true dictum, for blind pigs in Umatilla county have just yielded the county 4450 in fines. The officials of Umatilla are conducting a vigorous cru sade against the blind pigs and other methods of illegally sell ing liquor, a number of which have sprung up since the prohi biiion law went into eilect. The first round-up caught quite an assortment of them, and the size of the fines would indicate that the crusade will be successful. 'OPTIMISTIC When" it comes to new ways to dodge ihe prohibition laws, we look to Alabama with confi dence. Her citizens have re cently invented a "sandwich" that takes the cake. It consists of two huge slices of bread with a very thin bottle filled with whisky between 1 It is said it e-miplies with the law, or rather that the sale of these "sand wiches" is not illegal. The Dalles Optimist. If it were assumed that the Oregon Tiuuk Line people had not yet financed their railroad project up the Decchutes river, 1 very plausible explanation ol he Hairiman activity in that locality would suggest itself. By making a big bluff towards the construction of a line up the iver, the attractiveness of the ither project as a field for in vestment would be lessened. For, unquestionably, neither of the two parallel and competing ines could promise to be as profitable as one line serving the Fame territory would have been. And, four or five million dollars, which it is said the pro ject will cost, might be hard to obtain under these circumstan ces. However, tliat theory of the purpose of the Harriman work along the Deschutes op pears to be weak in the pieui ises, for there is a pretty gen eral opinion that the Oregon Trunk Line people know just where their money is coming from, and have plenty iu sight to complete the undertaking. And, with the obstruction the ory knocked in the head, it be gins to look .tolerably certain that Central Oregon vis to hash two roads frorh the North; botli by way of the Deschutes can yon. LH 11s hope tliat we are not "fleeiuft double;" LANDSLIDE ONLY CAN DEFEAT JUDGE f Aft Bryan'B Chancoa Docrooso--Ropub-llcon Candidate Rapidly Gains Votes. The Washington correspond ent of the Portland Oregonian says nothing short of a demo cratic landslide can now pre vent the election of William II. Taft. Two weeks ago the situ ation was far different, but in this brief period marked gains have been made by the Repub licans, and at lenst three impor tant suites have been removed from the doubtful into the Re publican column New York, Illinois and Indiana. The political outlook as view ed by Republican national lead ers is rapidly improving. .In dependent voteis are being swung into line for Tat't; the movement of labor votes toward Bryan, once alarming, has been quite generally checked; disaf fection among the negroes has been largely overcome; and en thusiasm or at least interest is being awakened among all classes.
