ing, the new frontier land was Dor
rowing money from the east in order
to develop. When there came a mon
ey stringency in the east In those
days, New York called on Chicago
Chicago on smaller banks and so on
down until every portion OF the west
was asked to pay what It owed to the
east. And In that pinch. the situation
often became serious.
Today things are different. It is the
west that has the surplus cash at It's
command. New York is the borrower.
The western farms have been develop
ing during the past fifteen years until
they produce wealth that stays at
home. Many country banks in this
region have large sums of cash on
hand at this time.
AS result OF this western indepen.
dence OF the present day, no harm
can come to the west so long as cur.
rency here is kept in circulation and
not boarded up. Because of the injury
that might be worked to business wei.
fare by the withdrawal of cash from
business channels. the banks have per.
formed a great public service in TAX.
Ing steps to hold currency and issue
checks. This will also hold here cash
that otherwise might be called for by
smaller banks Of the country.
The banks Of the west, by virtue of
the tremendous crops of the past few
years and the prevailing high prices
for farm products, were never in their
history In more sound condition.
There never was such great prosper
lty In this territory as there Is today.
People whose money is deposited in
the banks feel comfortable, knowing
mat their banks hold gilt edged secur-
tiles. People realize that no bank
ever has on hand enough cash to pay
out all deposits at once. It would not
BE bank. but a money vault II that
we're the case. And so, desiring that
he country shall continue In It's pres.
mt unprecedented prosperity, the peo- I
de OF the west will heartily endorse 1
he action Of the banks In taking q
prompt precautions against disturb. q
noes which might ensue as a result y
# the New York situation. Y
So rapidly is the New York finan. il
ial atmosphere clearing, too, that

forests and waters and mines and

Following are the causes given by
Secretary Wilson for the country's
present prosperous condition.:
Labor is all employed at the highest
wages paid in our history.
Skill is in demand in all lines of in
dustrial activity.
capital is increasing and active.
Every industry in the land is ex.

Labor from other lands looks to us
and comes to us.
Schools are overlooking.
our transportation systems, the
best In the world, are unable to meet
the requirements of commerce.
Our manufactures more nearly SUD-
ply home demands than at any time
IN the past and sell heavily abroad.
Farmers feed the people as no
people ever before were fed and sell
In foreign markets a surplus of $1.l4s.-
ooo'eoo worth Of his products" said
secretary Wilson. Prosperity quite
up to the average of human success
attends intelligent management of

OF business in general It is believed

the country gets adjusted.
Nothing but the unreasoning with.
