to affect you in all your other activi-

When your bank account is once
started, it pays to know to a dollar
how much it amounts to. You then
know just how far you can go in your
expenditures without running into
debt. The best plan, of course, is to
keep your account so large all the
time that there will be no danger of
its being wiped out. But if this is
impossible, the next best thing is to
take care that it does not get past the
zero mark.

BANKING DEPARTMENT
PROHIBITS OVERDRAFTS
Local Institutions Will Comply With
State Regulations.

Local Institutions Will Comply With
State Regulations.
Since it is our business to be of
value TO this neighborhood and to
every one in it that wants to make
use of our services, we are glad to
extend every courtesy to our patrons
that we can. 1t is pleasure to &C
commodate those who need help, and,
in the long run, it helps us to do so,
so long as we do not have to go out
side the limits of good banking.
There is one kind of accommodation,
however, which we do not believe
our patrons ought to ask us to grant.
Once in while a depositor whose
bank account is low will write check
on the bank for more money than he
has in it. He may not know that the
check is too large, or he may intend
to deposit more money before the
check is presented, and then fail to do
so. But whether he acts through
carelessness or not, it puts the bank
in an unpleasant position. The bank
does not like to refuse to pay a small
"overdraft'' as this is called, but it is
decidedly not good business to do SO
and may cause loss, even if the de-
positor has the best intentions in the
world.
And so we should like to ask all
our customers to keep the amount of
their bank accounts in mind, and not
to write any check for a sum larger
than their balance. We will be glad
to balance pass books every month,
SO that everyone can tell just how
much he has at any time. Overdrafts
are only an indication of a loose way
Of handling business affairs, and the
good business man seldom or never
allows himself to make them. It is
even more to your interest than ours to
avoid them, as the habit Of careless

per cent.
Bank clearings last week were bet
ter than year ago.
Foreign trade in January was very
large. The exports exceeded those
of any proceeding January except in
1908, and the imports were larger
than for any proceeding month with
single exception.
Financial arrangements have re.
Gently been made by several railroads
for raising 800, 600, 600 to be used in
extentons and improvements. The
Erie railroad, for instance, plans tc
expend 100000 in the next ten
years for completing the double.
tracking of its main line between New
York and Chicago. The Atchison is
raising $50, 900, 600 for new work and
equipment, and other companies are
preparing to put smaller amounts
into Improvements.
All this does not look as if business
is standing still simply because the
House of Representatives is Demo-
cratic, nor that business fears the
election of a Democratic president.
The prediction threat, made to in
timidate voters, that the stagnation Of
business would follow Immediately
upon the election of a Democratic
House, has not been fulfilled.
Some of the illegal trusts which
have been throttling competition and
boosting the prices of the things
the people must have in order to live,
are perhaps not particularly enamored
with Democratic procedure, but legiti-
mate business understands thorough
ly that it has nothing to fear from
Democratic ascendency, and well
comes it.
Protection vs.. Tariff For Revenue.
Workmen in Germany are pro
tected by a tariff wall like our own
Payne-Aldrich tariff wall. In Eng
land the workers are not so PRO
tected."
According to Aldrich, Smoot, Guq-
genheim ct al, the German workers
ought to have more ideal conditions
than the Britons. But let us see how
much benefit the German really gets
from protection:
Bricklayers in free-trade England
receive s.. 72 per week and are re-
quired to work but So 2 hours.
Brickhyers in protected" Germany
receive $3.50 per week and are re
quired to work SO hours week.
This is not an isolated case. In all
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1912-02-29

industries the English worker re
ceives higher wages than the Ger
mans and works fewer hours.
And this is not all: The cost OF
living is much higher in protected
Germany than in unprotected Eng.
land. Where a Briton pays $1.2O in
rent German pays $1.47. Where a
Briton (unprotecteO spends $l.2O on
food and fuel a German protected,
spends 81 Al.
The American workingman is being
outrageously tariff-taxed on every.
thing he eats, wears or uses on the
theory he is being protected" when
as matter of fact the only thing that
is being protected by the tariff is the
monopolies of the tariff trusts on the
necessaries of life.

There has been in existence gen.
