The Cause of 1t.

You are wondering what is the
cause of the business depression
over the country. We don't know
what is the cause of it the coun-
tro over, but we believe the cause
of it so far as the West is con.
cerned is the automobile craze.
Men have gone daffy over auto
mobiles, and thousands of men
have bought machines who were
not able to do so. Others who
are able have bought them, but
here is where the rub comes in.
There are very few automobile
factories in the West, hence the
cost of manufacture, and that is
most the cost of the machine
when sold, goes East. That
money is out of circulation so far
as the West is concerned, until it
comes back for farm products, or
something else the West has to
sell. People have gone crazy, in
to debt, and we'll nigh distracted,
over the desire to own a buzz
wagon.
And when the money for auto
mobiles goes back East, remem-
Der, please, that it lowers the
bank deposits where it is sent
from, consequently it makes it
impossible for the banker to ex-
tend credit as much as he would
like, for he must keep on hand at
all times a certain percentage of
his deposits.
People are prone to go crazy
over such things, we suppose,
and we are glad the bankers over
the West are advising their eli
ents to steer clear of automobiles
until they are able to maintain
them after they get them. OF
course the banker can not keep
Mr.. Deposition from drawing his
money out of the bank and send
ing it East, if he desires, but he
can give him good advice about
such things; and the banker can
refuse to make loans which are
10 go into automobiles, and all
over the country the bankers are
refusing, too.
1t has been figured out by some
wiseacre that the amount of mon
~ tied up in automobiles in the
United States is enough to pay
off the national debt. And we
10 not for a minute doubt the
of these figures.
