GROWTH OF WEALTH PER
s.. CAPITA.

Doctrine that the Poor Are Growing
Poorer shown to BE False.
from the Los Angeles Times.)
In 1920 the savings banks OF the
United States held $1,13s,576. This
was poor country then compared with
now. The amount was only an average
Of IL cents for the population OF that
time. That amount of average economy
was very small.
Now the people OF this country have
! $500, 1878, 945 in savings banks. This
is an average for the whole population
OF this time Of over $40. The aetna!
D eposttors have an average Of $420 to
their. credit. In 1920 only $685. per-
sons IA the country were rich enough TO
have savings bank account. Now
there are S,5ss, 1911.
When James Buchanan, the last
Democratic President in a long line,
went into Office, there was about $780,
O00,O0 in the savings banks of the
United States. By 1870, after fighting
out the grea: war, the people, under
Republican rule for twenty years, Lad
$3.50, GOO, 900 in the savings banks. When
the next Democratic President took his
seat in 1888, the savings Of the people
had passed the billion point. By 1893
the savings had doubled again.
So there 1T is. In 1920 there were
only about 5000 people rich enough to
have a savings bank account. Now
there are over 100000. In 1920 the
savings were ~ cents per capita; now
they are over S42.
That the poor grow poorer and the
rich richer in this country is as true
as any other Popu1istic notion.

ANOTHER LINE MAY
60 ON PANAMA RUN
Report That Jebson & Ostrander
Will Compete for Central
American Business
Ships Are to Call at Many Coast
Ports, Including Seattle
and San Diego

The local shipping world is awaiting
rumor that the shipping firm of Jeb-
son & Ostrander is about to enter the
field for share of the trade between
this part of the Pacific slope and Cen
trail America.
1t is understood that definite an
nouncement will be made in a few
days of the chartering of a line Of Nor
wegian steamers to run between here
and Panama, calling at way ports as
do the steamers of the Pacific Mail and
Kosmos lines. The new line will handle
freight exclusively and each vessel will
probably get part of It's cargo on Puget
sound. for which freight will be ac-
cepted at Central American ports.
A feature of the new lines schedule
it is said, will be regular calls at San
Diego.
E. c. Evans, who is agent at this
port for Jebson & Ostrander, said yes
terday that he was not yet in a position
to make any statement regarding the
Panama service. He said that all in
formation on the subject would have
to come from Jebson & Ostrander
III. f. Ostrander was seen by a Call
representative in Seattle, but refused
to say anything more definite than:
There is nothing L can say at present
regarding this matter
Captain Jebson has Just returned to
seattle from an extended stay in this
state, and he will return here next
week In Seattle it is generally be-
neved that the firm has In contempla-
ton the establishment of such a line,
but is not yet ready to make known its
plans.
Jebson & Ostrander have had a num-
Der Oh steamers under charter for
Panama during the last six months, and

py them, is now on the sound loading

makers at the EmeryviIIe track

most disastrous day that the lay

thousands, and unless the tide
turns I'm the layers favor very
soon many n boOkie's bankroII
will have been shot TO pieces.
One hundred thousand dollars is
a conservative estimate of the
booking losses to date. Yester-

NEW CONCRETE PIER
CONTRACT is LET
Harbor Commissioners Award
Contract to HeaIy 6 Tibbitts
for $4,000
California Clubwomen Make Pros
test Against Advertising Sky
line on the Water Front

The harbor commissioners at their
regular meeting held yesterday morn
ing let the contract for the construc-
tion of another steel and concrete
wharf to be known as pier 3S. The
contract was awarded to Healy & Tib-
bits. whose bid of s279,000 was the
lowest submitted. The highest bid was
1851, 900.
Although pier 3S will be of similar
construction to pier 40 now being built
and somewhat larger, the cost will be
S23, 900 less. While the subject of piers
was under consideration 1t was de-
cided to build pier SO, for which the
contract win next be awarded, as
combination wharf and freight slip.
Pier So will be leased to the Western
Pacific railroad.
Mrs. A. d. Sharon and Mrs. Lowell
White, representing the Outdoor art
league, addressed the board on the sub
Ject of improving the appearance of
East street opposite the ferry depot,
where above a row of wooden shacks
there rises a skyline of noisily colored
advertising signs. The commissioners
referred the women to the municipal
authorities. as the states jurisdiction
does not extend to the offending ad-
vertising signs. A communication was
read at the meeting from the Outdoor
art league commencing the boards de-
cision to place underground all wires
along the water front.
Look Tin Ell, chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee for the reception of
Tong Shao vi and Prince Tsai Flu. ad-
dressed a communication to the board
thanking the harbor commissioners for
their promise to illuminate the ferry
tower during the stay here of the dis
tinguished Chinese visitors, but ask
ing that there be no illumination now
on account of the death Of the en-
peror and empress.
The commissioners decided to use
California marble in the remodeling of
the north wing of the ferry depot in
stead of Alaska marble, which was
used in the south wing.
Engineer Ralph Barker was directed
to confer with Lieutenant Colonel John
Biddle of the army engineer corps re-
garding the effect it would have on the
channel entrance If the pier head line
in the China basin were extended 700
feet, so as to take in Mission rock.
The Southern Pacific company in a
vised the board that the Hartman cor
porationS right, title and interest in
the coal bunkers on Howard street
wharf No. have been assigned and
conveyed to the Western fuel COM
pany, which concern will pay the
rent hereafter. On application of the
Western fuel company the assignment
of space now occupied by bunkers and
power house was transferred to the
coal company.
