fcecognlzed Authority on Financial
Questions Discusses Frnttloal
Boarlngn of Proposed Guar
antee Plan.
'By OcorKo H. nobcrts, former Di
rector of the Mint.)
The proposal to require the hanks of
the country to guarantee each other's
deposits owes Its present strength to
thu llnanclnl dlHturbnnce of Inst full.
It Is urged ns n menus of preventing
panics, nnd there Is no dlsngreeineiit
nbotit tho desirability of accomplish
ing tlmt puriKise. Most of us ngrw
thnt n repetition of the condlllons
which existed Inst fall should lie mmle
impossible, hut this Is by no means tho
only way to do It, or tho best way.
For years the advocates of compre
hensive currency reform have pointed
out thnt with ?. 14,000,000,000 or bank
deposits In tho country nnd only about
$3,000,000,000 of money nil told In tho
country, Doth In the banks and out,
there should be some method provided
by which, on the basis of good nsscts,
the supply of lawful currency could be
readily Increased to meet exceptional
demands, whether such demands were
due to Hcnsons of unusual business ac
tivity or to alarm omong depositors.
Their foresight nnd arguments did not
tivnll, but they nre hardly to be swept
off their feet now by Impatient r.enl for
this new, nnd. ns they regard It, Ill
considered scheme. They stai.d for n
complete uud scientific treatment of
tbe subject
The guaranty of deposits Is n crude
nnd Imperfect remedy at best. It does
not recognize or attempt to cure the
defects In our banking and currency
Fyx'cms, but alms only nt persuading
d tKK tom not to draw their deMplts.
!T '.isses to depositors by the failure
of nal banks has become an Inslg'
ulf-nnt jienri'tage. ami Is growing less
e'-r- rear, ns n result of natural, evo
IctI i jry progress lu banking. The
Ftat dards arc ltclng constantly raised,
nnd the cwblency of olllelal lnseetlon
nnd tnitx-rvlslon constantly Improved.
Tbe trie tine of development N not by
nny rcv!u;lnnary policy, but by hold
ing Individual bankers to yet
stricter account, and nt the same time
enabling, every properly conducted
lunk to readily obtain a supply of cur
rency to meet nil demands utsm It.
The funds mental weakness In our
currency system It In the fact thnt It is
not readily responsive to the needs of
Iho country. The legitimate demand
for money varies from year to year,
and from season to season In the same
year It Is a fnmlllnr fact thnt there
la a great deal more business to he
bandied from September 1st to Decern
ber lst each year than In any other
four months of the year, but there Is
no more money In tho country unless
gold Is Imported for the purssc.
Would l.rml to llrcklasa llnnUlnir,
As a remedial measure the guaranty
of bank deposits Is not only Inadequate,
but It Is worse than Inadequate, for It I
proposes to overturn the prlnelplo of
Individual responsibility by menus of
which the banking business has been
raised to Its present high standards,
and upon which nil Individual and so
cial progress Is based.
Tho proposal contemplates that the
public Hhall be relieved entirely from
the exercise of Judgment and dis
crimination In the choice of banks, and
while It in highly desirable that all
banks shall be made safe, to the end
that oven tho most Ignorant and con
fiding mny be protected, it hi still true
that an alert nuhllc opinion Iuih ivatl
Inllucnee In maintaining proper hank
ing fltanilunlH, Vo cannot afford tn do
without that lulltienco.
Under pnwnt condition-, the Invent-
mentn, the pcrHoual Imhlta, the Kcncrnl
character and nlillltlus of the hanker
pre under the constant scrutiny of the
community, nnd a matter of public In
terest. Notwithstanding occasional In-
ptanceH In which the public linn been
deceived, It mny be Mated un a Reneral
proportion tlmt an unblemished char
acter and a reputation for uood Inml-
lietm ability nnd conaorvatlve Judgment
have been neceHeary to auccens lu tho
bunking business The public I-ioUh
over (he Individual who la to receive,
nnd Invest and bo rcwponsllile for Ita
money with sonic discrimination, and
tbe elimination of tho unlit by the
ftcmtlny and composite Judgment of tho
community 1 a factor of the highest
value lu maintaining the xtandardH of
tho banking; business. It la, however,
a factor entirely overlooked by tho ad
vocates of IhU scheme.
They calculate the Inslgulllcout per
centage of loss to total depotdtfl under
prcHont conditions, and ussuuic that no
greater louse would occur after char
acter ccnaed to bo a factor In the busl-
nettH, and all deoslls were given blind
ly to whoever would bid highest for
them, To tbe objection tlmt thla elim
ination of character iih a factor In tho
ucqulHltloit of dcpoaltK muat tend to
promote recklcat banking, reply la
mado that bankers will be deterred
from recklcHHiii'HH by fear of losing
tbelr own money. The reply misses the
point. All men are not deterred from
reckltkBiieei by fear of losing tholr
synt'mwf Imt mfkivw tuen turn tftftf,
ns n rule, kept out of the banking busi
ness by tbe unwillingness of the publlo
to entrust money to tholr care.'
Cnrxfnl Dunking Heat,
Under present conditions there are
tomprnsntlons In furor of careful and
conservative banking. There are peo
ple who nre not Influenced In their se
lection of n bank by the highest rato of
Interest offered ou deposits, nnd who
have their suspicions aroused by the
lender of exceptional Inducements.
3'hey know that such offers put u
(train upon the business, and they de
liberately prefer to place their money
with a banltor who will not subject
himself to such strain. These deposit
trs esteem safety above all other cou
derations, and they are numerous
enough to exorcise a very wholesome
restraint upon reckless tendencies In
the business. A banker now prists the
reputation of doing a safe business,
nnd cannot afford to hare a reputation
for Imprudence and speculntlvo In
clinations. And yet, although bold In
ihcck by these powerful considerations,
(he pressure of competition carries the
business near tho danger line even
now. There Is too much competition
for deposits, and the ambitions of the
more venturesome members of thn fra
ternity, and the puce they set, puts the
wholo system under strain.
Hut what are likely to bo (he con
ditions In the business when the public
Is no longer concerned about the man
agement of n bank, and all tho re
wards for conservatism and restrauts
upon recklessness are removed? The
considerations which In the past have
tended to safeguard tho business and
advance Its standards would be gone.
Tho public would care nothing for the
personality of the hanker. Instead of
looking to thu Institution which receiv
ed the deposits, the depositor would re
ly on an outside fund. A fcankar
might bet all the deposits on horse
races without the fact Incoming n
matter of any concern to his custom
ers. And how would the conservative
prudent banker fare under these con
ditions? The legitimate reward for
maintaining thnt character would be
lost to hlin. He would get no deposits
unless he bid as. high for them as his
rivals, for the government would stuml
behind the latter, and assure the pub
lic that they were Just ns safe as he.
and tax hlin to mnke thorn so. In
short the reckless nnd lncomjetent peo
pie. who nre now either excluded from
the banking business, or held lu check
by tbe distrust which a discriminating
public feels towards them, would make
the pate to which everybody else lu
the banking hpsliicsa would he obliged
to conform or get out of the business.
Would llt'inurnllxa HiinIiicmn,
The hardest competitor lu any line
of business Is the Incompetent or dis
honest mint who doesj1in.vthlng4 to get
business, .such people get Inlo the
banking business even now, but their
number and Inlluencq for mlsehW
would be greatly Increased If they
were hacked up by unlimited credit. In
other Much then1 may be souiu question
as to the quality or service offered by
rivals, but all bankers deal lu the same
kind of money, nnd If deposits were
11 J0,,U liability, there Is no rea
son why they should not go to the
bankers who offer the greatest Induce
ments to attract them. The careful
banker would have no off-set or protec
tion against demoralizing competition,
nnd ho would be placed In the strange
position of being liable for bis coin-
petltor's obligations.
All efforts to make It appear that the
Interests of bankers nre ou one side of
this question and the Interests of de
positors on the other are untrue to thu
facts. Nothing that In the long rim !
harmful to the banking business, that
puts It under strain and tends to low
er Its standards, can be beneficial to
depositors or the public. It cannot bo
advantageous to the community to liitvo
Us savings and working capital pass
Into the hands of the venturesomo
class of bankers who will bid most for
them. The actual waste and loss
tltroiiKli unwise InvcHtinvnt would In-
ovltnbly lurrcnae. it would fall at flrat
on the conoervutlve bnnkcra and penal-
Ixe them. liiHtcari of an elimination of
the unlit, which Is the true process of
nvolutlon, the tendency would ho to an
elimination of the beat. Eventually tho
burden of Inert-ashix wnato would havo
to bo borne by nil depositor and the
whole community.

The Wrlat and the Arm.
The real wrist, as one might say, Is
the elbow Joint. It Is nil bund, prac
tically speaking, from that point to the
tips of the lingers. When you turn
your wrist It Is the whole forearm
that makes the twist, and every move
ment of tho lingers is controlled by tho
muscles of the forearm. The power
to turn the wrist to nnd fro at tho el
bow Joint Is jwssessed only by human
beings and monkeys, nnd oven the

One pf the strongest men nt the Port

Before beginning thu trial of a suit It
was Strout'a habit to Inquire of every
Juror as to tho state of his health ami
Impress each with thu Idea that the
lawyer was solicitous of that Juror's
personul welfare. Heed and Strout
wore constantly antagonizing each
other, though they wero very good
friends. In nearly every case of Im
portanco Strout and Heed were on op
poslte sides. It was annoying Indeed
for tho suave Strout to hear Heed
drqwl out bqforo tho opening of a

"AVoll, your honor, Brother Strout
having finished his morning task of
shaking hands with tho Jury, we may

Beating Women.
"If It Is true that national adages

must occupy n strange position In Hus
sin Ono of thesu old siiwh runs. 'Love

another tells tho good man, 'Shake your

woman Is not considered frnll Is shown
by tho adage, 'Yon may snfely beat
your wife with n broom handle, for
sho Is not made of porcelain.' Beat
lug must bo considered a wholesome
pastime, to Judge from the saying, 'if
your vlfo deserves a beating in the
