Give California Fair Deal.

There seems to be Q controversy
on between New Orleans end San
francisco for the Worlds Panama
Exposition. which will be held In
1915. Both cities are claiming that
they are each the most logical point
for the great exposition and then
they clamor about the money posi-
bilities. While We are not inclined
TO mix up In this fight and lnjure The
possibilities OF either place ~ ct.
cling the question a. to where the
exposition shall be held. yet We think
the west Is entitled to soms Of the
good things. and We suggest that the
Sunset state be given at least . fair
deal In this matter.-Gallup IN. N.Y.

are taken from the report Of the ma

and authentic there can be no Ques-

The results Of the comparison are
striking. For example. with cOmpar.
atively equal populations. California
has four dollars Of banking resources
to Louisiana's one. The savings de-
posits Of the states are Is to I In

fourth In the Union In this respect
and Louisiana twenty-fourth.

such depositors with only $4,000. 900
laid up against that rainy day. San
Franchises savings banks paid their
passbook holders in interest In the
year covered by the report upward
Of $5.000.O00: New Orleans savings
depositors in tn same period were
credited with a little more than q
