affair" and declaring that the agita-
tion relative to the railroads has had
little to do with the Wall street, panic,
Chicago bankers yesterday asserted
that they were not troubled over the
outlook and that Chicago and the
middle west would be in no wise af-
fected.
There was manifest among the
bankers. with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions, no alarm or misgivings. The
consensus of opinion was that the rate
for money in Chicago, 6 per cent,
would not be lifted; that there are
millions in reserve here which can be
utilized, and that the country as
whole is unusually prosperous.
One other idea of special interest
also was expressed. 1t was that the
dumping of the spectators" out east
will do the nation, as a whole, good
The local men of finance consider the
Wall street slump and that stocks, in
stead of being too low at their new
figure, are gradually approaching a
fair valuation.
James H Eckels. president of the
Commercial National bank was one of
uation with some pessimism. He
claimed. however, that there is too
much agitation and that the railroads
are being unnecessarily assailed
James B. Forgan, president of the
First National bank, did not go quite
so far. but said he felt that the wave
of antagonism against the railroads
may have had as much to do with the
stock market slump as any other
single influence.
Other bankers were not of the same
feeling. They claimed stocks had
been steadily tumbling for weeks. and
that this was the elimination; that it
was well to clear the atmosphere oc-

order for trained nurse, where there
is no money to pay for the services,
will be given attention in preference
to those who are able and willing to
pay for such services. Some Of the
best physicians in the city are con-
nected with it, and the president OF
the mill, Mr.. W. S. Montgomery. has
given valuable and substantial aid in
its erection.

TO INCREASE TAXES.

We notice that Gov. Ansel proposes
to recommend and increase in the
lew for the state taxes SO as to be
rid of the necessity for borrowing
money each year, and to put the state
on cash basis. 1t is figured out that
an increase Of even one-half Of one
mill would realize an income Of 1924,
900. This is on the basis in the last
assessment and the supposed increase
in the assessment. 1t is always very
easy to work this proposition out on
paper, but the tax history of this
state for the last eighteen years will
show that as the taxable values in
crease, the legislature has always
kept up with it in the increase Of the
levy. and in fact, has exceeded the
rate of assessment and now with the
taxable property Of $250,0O0,0OO, the
levy is 4 1-2 mills, while when it was
only $140,O0O,O0OO, the levy was 4
mills, and the income then was suf-
fcient to meet expenses, while now a
1-2 mill levy shows up a deficit OF
more than 100000. As matter Of
fact. if our assessments we're in ac-
cordance with the requirements q
the constitutions, We would have Oy"r

Gov. Ansel, it is said, is going to
recommend an increase in the tax
levy. That is scarcely necessary to
waste the time in making such rec
ommendation. The legislature usual
ly does that or makes the appropria-
ton bill so big that it is necessary to
increase the levy as the assessment
goes up. No need Of a recommenda-
ton.
