The Underdratt Evil.

OF all the vexatious problems the
banker has to deal with, overdrafts
are much the most troublesome.
Thew increase the bookkeeper's work,
the teller's cares and the cashiers
troubles.
Past due notes cause bad dreams,
but overdrafts produce hideous
nightmares. Decreasing deposits are
unpleasant, but overdrafts are nerve.
racking. sleep.killing and night
mare. producing. They cause gray
hairs. the loss Of friends and money,
and break banks. Bank after bank
has gone down because of them.
All bank examiners frown on the
practice; they report the offending
banks, cite them to the law with q
strong admonition to not do it again.
The higher courts have declared
overdrafts to be illegal and they
should not in any case be allowed.
Cashiers can be held personally re-
sponsible to stockholders where los
lses are sustained in paying over
drafts.
You have no more right to draw a
check on bank when you have no
money to pay it than anyone has to
demand of you goods, time, labor,
service, or anything of value, with
out Offering to pay you for it. You
draw check on your bank, which
is demand to pay you or some one
else something you have not-you
thereby demand or order the bank
to do something it cannot lawfully
do. You might just as we'll demand
Of the merchant goods without pay.
And yet there are people foolish
enough to get mad at bank for not
.overpaying their account.
Banks are glad and willing to
lend you money on approved secur.
ity and good collateral, but want to
do it in the sane, sensible, safe way
they want the note made out be-
fore the check is drawn.
Banks are absolutely necessary.
Business would stagnate without
them; commerce becomes paralyzed
when they suspend. They afford
safe place for keeping the moneys,
and lend their credit and cash in Fl
nancing enterprise. Banks save men
from financial ruin. No man ever
made any large success in life with
out the aid Of some bank. Every
man should feel it his duty to be alb
solutely fair with his bank and
should cease once and forever the
pernicious habit of overdrawing his
account
When you need money, go to the
.bank officials, tell them plainly the
case; make them safe, and if they
can accommodate you, you will get the
money. But don't try to oyerdraw.
In large places, where business
is business" and is done according
to Hoyle, oyerdrafts are few and far
between, 1t is only in the smaller
places that it becomes such an UNI
safe, unpleasant and undesirable
practice.
Be fair with your bank and your
bank will be fair with you.-Com
