ExTRAyAGANCE IN THE WEST.

That not everyone takes rosy
view of the middle vests undoubted
prosperity is evident from the ten
dency of bankers to scrutinize loans
closely and to hold their customers
in check. They fear that there is too
great extravaganza, especially among
the jewellers in towns who have not
the farmers basis of support. st
was but few years ago when we
thought the man who bought a BIZ
cycle for $3.50 was going in deep"
remarked one banker here today,
but now there are hundreds Of men
buying automobiles who cannot af-
ford them, Just because their neigh
bors have them. The farmer who
sells enough wheat or stock to pay
cash for his machine is all right, but
the town clerk who mortgages his
home or his savings to get machine,
and spends more than he can afford
to keep it up, is taking long chances.
|. We have refused to loan for such
purposes, but, judging from the num-
Der of sales made, other lenders are
not so careful. There is certain to be a
reckoning and with the high cost of
living it is beyond me how the man
on salary can do it. We loaned a
customer $500 the other day, and
found that he had given it to some
promoters who were selling stock in
patent telegraph inyer tion that has
not yet been put on the market. If

future, and yet several thousand dol
lars were invested in this commune

that person generally fixes his notion

monty calls for imprecations and de-
nunciations. says the New Orleans
Picayune. OF course, it is not the case
with guests who are expected and are
specially met by friends, but it is the
fate of every stranger who wants to
get to hotel or other destination and
does not know the way and would hire
a cab. 1t is true there are laws regu-
lating the charges for hauling passen-
gers, but the strangers are ignorant
of these laws and as they are not
posted in plain view of the passenger,
as is required, he becomes the victim
Of any rascal into whose hands he may
fall. There ought to be frequent in
spectiol of cabs to see if the law is
complied with, and all failures should
be severely punished. 1t is reported
that many shameful eXtortions were
practiced on strangers to the recent
carnival; they are whenever there is a
great influx of visitors. A thing like
