EXPOSITION FIGHT
INTERESTS COUNTRY
San Francisco 0utcIasses New
Orleans In Every Respect.

The great fight that is being waged
between San Francisco and New Or
leans for the honor of celebrating the
completion of the Panama canal is
attracting the attention of the entire
country. The fight is no longer a
contest between the two cities, but be-
tween California and Louisiana. the
legislatures Of which have each au-
thorized a state tax to- raise funds
in aid of the proposed international
exposition.
In financial standing California is
SO far ahead of Louisiana that it's
superior ability to finance the fair
must be conceded, and If the question
of selecting site for the exposition
were to be decided on a basis of the
relative wealth of the contestants,
congress would have no option, but
would be forced to award the coveted
honor to San Francisco.
To the unprejudiced observer it is
difficult to see wherein New Orleans
has any legitimate claim to recogni-
ton as the logical point for the ex-
position, aside from the mere fact
that it is located nearer to the center
of population. In beauty of surround
ings, climatic advantages, ability to
handle the hundreds of thousands OF
prospective visitors, general progress
sive spirit of it's people and record
If MT Eron stands
head and shoulders above its rival.
According to the report of the ma
tional monetary commission on April
%, 1909, the population of California
was 1,732,000, and that of Louisiana
1,642,000, while in the amount of saw
ings deposits California ranked
fourth among the states of the Union
and Louisiana twenty-fourth, the ex-
act figures being as follows:
California 1921, ,228, ,437 26
Louisiana ................. 21,356. .283 80
California had 525. 4ss depositors, aver
aging s535.00; Louisiana 1884. averag-
ing $264.0O.
The total resources as represented in
bank deposits were: California, $S42,-
969, ,8SOO0 average per capita $486.70.
Louisiana, $15S, ,642, $4,000; average per
capita, $96.61.
The following figures are taken
from the report of the reports of the
California comptroller of currency:
San Francisco-Total savings deposits,
$153, 1872, 1905; total Individual deposits,
$243, ,927, ,437.47; average, $4,000.
New Orleans-Total savings deposits,
SIG, 1856 1884 40; total Individual deposits,
$42, ,979, ,O77.18; average $4,000.
Increase In resources of National
banks, year 19O9-1910: San Francisco.
$1O3, $40, ,S2S.96; New Orleans. $2,37O, ,226.74.
In the face of such a showing New
Orleans and Louisiana do not appear
to be in the same class with San
Francisco and California, financially.
And California is as much superior
to Louisiana in every other respect
as she is financially, just as San
Francisco is immeasurably superior
to New Orleans in all that goes to
make a great and beautiful city.
San Fl ancisco is the ideal site for
the Panama-Pacifc International ex-
position in 1915. Let congress make
no mistake.
