INDISCREET.
There is one thing that this rumpus
between President Wilson and the
Military Order of the C:arahao has
done-it has served to bring out forci
bly enough that these men of the
army and navy t ho are qualified to
know are dead set againal independ
ence for the Philippine islands, at
least for the present. The democratic
administration, while yet very new in
the official harness. enunciated purely
theoretical views regarding its policy
toward our eastern possession.s---v'ie l
rwhich every man who has laid any
thing to do with tlhe islands has seen
fit to deprecate and, in private, deride
and ridicule. Some noted authorities
have been quoted and each and every
one has declared that it as yet much
too early even to think of giving the
Filipinos self-government: their argu
ments have been specific enoughl antid
full enough to convince anyhody but
a hidebound administration follower
that the new policy is all wrong. Let
them "regret" as much as they will,
it cannot he gainsaid by the officer
members of the Carabao that they aire
opposed t,, the fads and furbelows of
W.ilson and Bryan and that they
meant I, expcress their vi.\s at tile

indiscretion was that they :tllwed the

WRONG IN THEORY
A couple of days ago, The Missoulian quoted in this col
umn a well-known Washington newspaper correspondent
in connection with a discussion of the administration cur
rency bill. We expected this statement to call forth com
ment and in this we were not disappointed. Yesterday
brought to The Mssoulian's editorial desk an interesting
letter from a man well qualified by experience and study,
to discuss the pending banking bill. This letter takes up
the case cited as typical by the correspondent previously
quoted, but it goes farther and explains some phases of the
Wilson measure which, we are sure, have not been under
stood by many people. Here is the letter which came yes
terday; it is well worth careful reading:
Editor Missoulinn---The illustration giveln liy the Washington cor
respondent, quoted in your Tuesday lmornnllg's editorial, is scarcely
just. It states an extreme conldo ii.n, iand on,' that in the field of le
gitimaote banking could rdre hlt;ain. it, however, does not touch the
heart of the tl;nss-IW\,w n bill.
Mr. Jones, under Present anid, we tiresn.ne, under the new regime,
will have to satisfy his local hanker that his actual, not potential re
sources, entitle hill to a $20,sl,00O Ian. The inference of the illus
tration is tihit the regional rest r've I;ianl wil hlie arbiter. Experience
is that the loIal hanker must he the slo jitulge. Thle method of pro
ceodure in the illustration is :also a; littll faulty. In actual proceed
ings banker No. 1 woull and c,,ult inl ask Jones to take utip his
$1i0,0t00 notel . Then Ianker No. 2 c-nlld take this on and provide for
the extra $10,lain I. Jrlones, lthe individual, will deal at the source
under nesw ('inditions tlie saine as Mr. tlnes now deals with his local
banker. Ilnder the lproposed conlitions no bank will dare suggest to
the regional reserve tbank miethlodll for treatment of corpetitive banks
with ,lones' red iscolunts.
The letter, however, asks for soler thoulght as to the actual working
of this hill and suggests the reitolultioary tendency of it. The financial
system is, (it course, the great artery thillrough which the fast expand
ing bulliness of the counltry had to flow. Abuses crept in, hut their
abltesillcont shoullld have Iblon throlll, h an evollltiollary p-rocess.
An examination of the statements of thil national hanks of Montana,
as if ictloher 21, with capitalizations of $100,000 or more, will show
nonel carry ing redisi'ounilts A tlo.(Iry cVoincident with the establish
ment of tihe lnational banking system fifty years ago was that tihe
function of thnkills was tit lolll I0101 money, (ot to borrow. The statement
as toi ontana tallks hows they have ,been and are being conducted
Lllong c)Inservatlive lines. .\ (ursIOry stltdy of these statements will
convince :nyil ont( th;tl 1r. .Ilnnes ian he provided with $20,000 ;as
easily as $1iI,000.
I'nlder tllh proposed tsill all the nimember banks will he expected to
borrow or rdiscounlt i.ones' I aper with the regional reserve hank,
else there is no call for its existence. In actual working practice
what will this mean'?
It is pIroided that hanks of the Montana class shall subscribe six
per cent of their calpital tand surlulis to the capital of the regional
reserve hank, a0nd deposit with it twelve per cent of their demaind de
posits anll five per eclt of their time delosits. Referring again to the
conptroller"s call of (,itaor _1. AlMoitatra national hanks had on 1de
posit that day $3li0,X00,000; of this there were in deutmand deposits
$20,042,000, and in time deposits, $9,96f,000, with a capital surplus of
$7,984,445. 8o Montana national hankis would eclntribute to the capi
t1ll of the regional reser\'o ank, $4.0,000, antll to its deposit from their
demanllld deposll its, $3.,3";,,000; alul front their time dlenosits, $490,000; a
graind total of $4,343,000. This $4,343,000 is now under the dtirect on
trol of Montana's hankers. W'ith the enactment into law of the Glass
Owen bill this IbecoeI.s tihe asset (If the regional reserve bank.
I)llr merchanllllts, when they go to piurchase their wares twice a year,
in\varially seek c'lticeago, New York atlll other eastern markets. When
they pay for these same wares they ask their local banker for eastern,
that is, ('lhicagoa. and New York exchange. This bill contemplates San
Francisco tas the regional reserve centler for Montana.
These Montana hanks, with $4,343,000 in a San Franclsco reserve
hank, will naturally hr\ave toi withdraw that mu1ch from their lresent
resterves, nearily all of w.hiich is eastern, thus reltocing their available
exchange, oll-half of the present reserve heing $0,fi43,000.
Tthe readjllstmlnt of reserve e'Inters, whichl will be contrary to the
laws of trade, will fall upon the mlr'hant as w'ell as the banker. This
trade laew will not be swer\'ed by the (llass-Owen bill, and in final
anal3ysis ill hbusinless will haln\ tin lpartitiplate and share in the change.

What They Would Do
Yesterday morning, The Missoulian
invited a discussion of the question of
suppressing names in the publication
of news of wrong doing, the affair
which suggested the request being a
local lodging-house case. A good
many letters were received during
yesterday. From them, these are
taken, the rest will be published to
morrow:
