GUARANTY BANK DEPOSITS (By Guy Flenner.) (NOTE: The following is the first of a series of articles on the guaranty of bank deposits, written by a vjiil known Idaho newspaper man and in vestigator, who has given the ques tion considerable research. We pub lish these articles for the information of cur readers and in order that there may be an intelligent consideration of the subject, and without necessarily crprc-ving or opposing any of the spin stated. The Editor. ions ARTICLE III Bringng it Home to the Individual What is good for the goose ought to be good for the gander, we are told. If the principle underlying guaranty of bank deposits affords a pro tective panacea, why not extend it? Why not avoid all losses by requiring each individual to contribute to an as sessment-raised fund from which to pay the debts of any insolvent mem ber of society ? Why not assess every company doing business in Idaho to pay the debts of every company that cannot meet its obligations? When we bring the principle to our own door it does not appear nearly so desirable. And yet it is at the door of every home and of every business, farming, mercantile and all, when it äs at the door of our banks. If guaranty of desposits could pre vent panics, then we could lift our selves over the fence by our boot straps and usher in Utopia. Panics result from deep rooted causes, and it is doubtful if any law ■could prevent them. The country had suffered from an inelastic currency, a prime cause of financial disturbance Emergency legislation, which got us nowhere along the line of permanent Telief, undertook to solve the problem., The Aldrich-Vreeland act providing a more bounteous supply of currency. prevented a panic in August 1914, that would have imparted to the panic of 1907 the comparative aspect of a wavelet of prosperity.

Copyright. relief the guaranty states, as well as all others, would have found them selves in the convulsions of a cur rency famine, with most disastrous results. Their guaranty laws would not have saved them or their banks. Being purely a sedative, the guar anty law cannot root out financial di sease. The use of narcotics to re lieve pain is always attended by de structive consequences. Permanent ease cannot be procured without re moving the cause. And the state bank guaranty could no more do that than the proclamation of a govenor could end a national turmoil. Every well administered bank today has every needed means for self pre servation, and the bank that cannot now stand on its own bottom, and mer its, and exist on the nourishment of its own character, and the ability and honesty of its officers, is a men ace to the welfare of its community. When a worthy banking institution can secure all ctedit reasonably need ed it is a sad commentary when any bank cannot keep its doors open with out doped with the oxygen of a lame duck law. Banks that would have to close to day unless artificially supported by a guaranty system, are undoubtedly those that are suffering from internal disorders, excessive loans to favored interests, to large frozen credits-those that do not look ahead, the type that is not entitled to protection. Any community suffers far more from the going practices of such instrumtalit ies than from direct deposit losses. The leveling tendencies of guaranty legislation is as objectionable as the Socialistic doctrine of individual eq ualty—the destroyer of competion, in itiative and progress; and it must be remembered that in the beginning of Socialistic government only a small involved. The bad apple is in the bar rel, however- To level the rights of enterprise pulls down character and ability and causes merit and enter prise to become an unknown quantity. I That is not the true American way. The writer of these articles has 1 part of institutions and industry are touched only the highlights of the subject, making no brief for any bank: or banker, but for the state of Idaho, ...'. . . to which he has consecrated whatever■ ability he may possess. He hopes that at least his observations will assist in any discussion of the important sub ject. to be Unveiled If Governor D. W. Davis had had Monument to Apple time at his disposal he might have ac cepted an invitation to attend the un veiling of a monument at Winterset, to an apple. The invitation came from the state historical department of Iowa, the his torical society of Madison county, and the state horticulural socity, which have united in the erection of a mon ument to commemorate the discovery of the famous Delicious apple. No Factious reference was made in the invitation, nor is one to be made in the inscription on the monument, to the apple which tempted Father Ad am beyond endurance. The occasion is being taken seriously. Right under the shade of the original tree which bore the first Delicious apples, he president of the horticultural society, after pomological addresses by the ed itor of the American Friut Grower and a noted Missouri apple specialist, will present the monument to the "To commemorate the discovery in 1872 by Jesses Hiatt of a variety of apple named by him 'The Hawkeye,' the sole right to propagate which was acquired by C. M. Stark in 1894;by him renamed and introduced aud dis seminated throughout the apple world a s the 'Delicious' apple. Erected 1922." - It will bear the following le state. gend: Mrs. John Flint of Seattle, Wash., who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. X E Flake and Mrs Wm.

Albin and children re turned home Saturday from High valley where they had been for the past two weeks picking huckleberries. They report the huckleberries as not very plentiful but say they are larger than usual, lots of them being nearly as large as pie cherries. Presume that must be the cause of the bears being so large this year, as Mrs. B. Seetin says the bear that got into their camp was as large as a two year old steer. We can't vouch for the bear, but we can for the huckle berries. Ebb Biggers went to Horseshoe Bend Sunday.
