My. Dour Sir: II Iihm boon hoiiio
wccUh since Uio returns won? in tiiul
tlio result of tlio frtll uluctimi known.
IJoforc exorcising my right nt tho bal
lot box us ti citizen or Nebraska, 1
htudiotl itlio platform of tlio two great
parties throughly. The subject of
41 Guaranty of Dnnk Deposits" intor
cstcdnno us it did iniiny others in this
tato, mid slnee the party which in
dorsed the piinciphas been Hiiecess.
ful in our own loved statu of Nebraska
wo liavo reason to buliove the matter
will reeeivo considcrntion and n law
relating to same be placed upon our
statute books In the rioir future.
I lmvo studied tho" Oklohoma Law"
hearing upon this subject and byliovo
thcro uro boiuo features that should lie
eliminated if tho sumo shall bo placed
iiB a model for this stato, or for to
Federal government I nail your atten
tion especially to tho'-Cjuarant Fund"
which is created by ussossmont and
'liold ly the stato ngiii9t possible bank
failures.
This fund to be adequate for all
emergencies would have to be at least
as largo as the deposits in our largest
bank. It would have to be-Kept in such
shape as to bo immediately available
which would prohibit the depositing
of same in tho bank(statodopositorles)
If kept in the treasury vaults it
-would reduce tho circulating medium
to that extent and bocarning nothing
either for the stato or the bank.
Liyiidea of a "Rauk Wuaranty" is
ior the stato to guarantee all deposi
tors against loss; to bo utiitrizcd to
issue " Stato Certlfeates'' payablo
(after aspect fled time) on demund .and
receivable at par at all banks; to bo
empowered to assess and collect from
each and every bank in tho state an
nmount.propor Honed by thu item of
'Deposits" shown in the last called
statement, sullieieut to redeem tho
certificate tissued by the stato on
account of a bank failure; to take
charge of tho assets of the defunct
bunk with which to replenish the fund
represented by eeitillcates issued
etc.
Jt is not my intention to outline a
"law" in detail, but call your atten
tion to the "State Certificate" plan for
payment of depositors in n failed bank.
Tlio advantages over the cash fund
1st There is no money whatever with
drawn ficm circulation.
2nd The fund Is always umplo to pay
the deposltere, and is Immediately
available.
3rd It supplies an"Kmeigniey Cur
rency" which increases rather than
dlmininishes the circulation.
4th Itjtnour.s no expense, nor imposes
any hardships upon any banking in
institution unless a bank does fall
under the law.
The "cash fund" piopositiou lias
always seem to me the weak feature of
" Bank Guaranty" as promulgated in
the Oklahoma law. Jthhsbeeu u strong
talking point for tho opposition Last
scusott it was found necessary to re
sort to "CIcating House, Certificates"
ns an emergency currency. "Stato Cer
tificates,' with power to assess the
banks to mleen them, ought to be as
tatisfyiug, especially ton deposlter in
a defunct bank. , ;.
As to the " Principle of Hank Guar
anty of Deposits" I will lmvo moro to
Bay In a future letter I? you caro for
my views upon tho subject, and I will
treat It from a moral standpoint
HM Vorytruly yours,
Red Cloud, Neb; O. V. Argabrlght,

WASHINGTON UTTER.
A large number of members and
Senators are already in Washington
and Let el lobbies and other places
where statesmen, politicians and
journalists assemble aro centers of
discussion, in which, pf course, tlio
turid and tho election of u Speaker of
tho Housoiro the main i-sues, It la
everywhere assumed that tho Pres
ident elect is Roing in for a more
through tevisicm than Undo Joe and
Ills cohoi t of standpatter in the house
will tolerate, Thcro were u number of
pour purlers' at tho Capitol yosterday
between wicli well known -republicans
sb A Id rich and Hale, Speaker Cannon,
and Congressmen Tawney, Payne.
Dalzoll and Burton, when I was said
that tlio conclusion was reached to go
so far into the matter of tnriir revision
that tho Prcsidt nt-elcct would have
nothing to do or to recommend. Tlio
old guard Republicans, those who
wero oppou'd to Mr. Tuft's nomination
until they wero forced to nccopt hlm-
lmvo measured their strength with a
President before and they feol that
they can meet President Tuft with as
much success at least as llioy had
when they met and opposed President
Roosevelt. It is said that those gentle
men uro anxious to have n consulta
tion with Mr. Taft, but do not want to
go to Hot Springs they are too coy
for that and imit not bo seen to
make advances. Their prcferonco
would be for a clandestine mooting,
unknown to the world or to tho pross.
This however is impossible of accomp
lishment There- is no doubt a very determined
and growing opposition to the re
election of Speaker Cannon and this
opposition will doubtless be organized
coinpletly by thu fourth of March or
(more the special session is callod
Mr. Ilurton of Ohio, Mr Fowler of
Now Jersey. Mr Townsend of Michigan
and other dlitlnii.iNhnd member of
Congiess iiiv frequently motioned to
succeed spciikor Cannon. Mr.Townsoud
speaking recently with reference to
his ownjeandidaey said: Last session
and also during the campaign, I was
in communication with a considerable
number of members who wore disposed
to s .pport mo for Speaker. However I
have not written to one of them slue,.
election day. The only aetlvo cam
paign I have decided to start on reach
ing Washington will be for the re
vision of tho houso rules so that tho
Speaker and his threi parties col
leagues on theComnitteo on Rules will
not be the whole thin jr.
- Representative M unlock of Kansas
said: "1 am against tho present Spoukcr
reelection and against tho rules, and
am for their modification, whether lie
is reelected or not l think thu Hint
move of thoso in the houso who uro
opposed to the Speaker and the rules
will bo a tight to make tho commiteo
on rules largor and to take it away
from the Speakor by making it eleetlvo
by the houso Itself.
"I have no aspirations for any com
mittee assignments, nor to becomo a
leader In teo House. All I deslro to do
as it membor of Congress is to serve
my constituents U9 well as possible."
' Tho most essential thing in the
revision of tho taritf added Mr. Mur
dock, " J.8 that it be done quickly. Got
through with the job ih tho shortest
possible timo that .will conform with
decent Investigation and reasonable
dlsousson." ,
Thcro uro many indication that
point to nu etfort on tho part of the
Republican majqrlty to reduce ox
pensos. Congress is uwuro of the big
dollelt to which tho Seerotary of tlio
Tresury will Impress! voly refer and an
effort will be mado to cut down ap
propriations. Notwithstanding tlio
program of economy, an etfort will be
for a big River and Harbor approp
riation. Many members of Congress
uro ready to voto for a bill appropciat
ing a largo sum for this purpose, bo
cause It is popular and further be
cause tho money will be spent in their
districts. Then, again, tho advocates
for n moro powerful navy uro not ex
pected to reeOde from their previous
demand and there will bo insistent
advocacy for tit least four large battle
ships, the same that wero demaudod
at tho llrst session of this Congress.
Congress may not pass tho bill, but
oven two battleships will swell the
navel budget to its usal proportions.
Then there will bo advocates for
additional regiments for the army, for
additional fortification and big guns.
The now movement for wnterway
improvements, by tho pormanent
Congress now in sosslon, plans to
securo the appropriation of fifty mill
ions of dollars a year for waterways,
and the conservation of tho forosts
and tho national resources will also in
volvo a large appropriation. Tho lime
of tho iicxtdcccnnlnlccusu8approaohs
and 'this must be prepared for and
altogether economists in Congress will
have their hands full in keeping down
appropriations.
