BIG FIGHT AHEAD
h.. OVER "P0RK" GRAB

Washington, Feb. 25,-Unless Pres
ident Taft vetoes the bill congress will
appropriate nearly $50, 600, 900 for un-
necessary public buildings.
The Senate has added $40. 900, 900 to
the $25. 600, 900 bill hat passed the
House, and as this additional sum is
distributed among many districts, in
creased appropriations for districts
which had mo- been aiken care of, or
that had been recognized in the House
bill, it Is expected to be stronger than
the original measure.
" A suggestion that the president will
not approve 1t has already started talk
of passing it ver his veto; and he
fear among members of congress now
Is that he may hold the measure back
until the congress expires, thus per-
hitting 1t to die a natural death.
The fight by democrats TO keep down
the appropriations appears to have the
effect of increasing them. A recent eff
fort by the leaders to force upon the
various house committees handling
bills which deal with appropriations,
ott,"r h the appropriation commit
tee, has apparently been without effect.

who have paid the fatal price in ruling
Mexico Is increased to sever names,
since just a little more than a century
ago when Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla,
the Parish priest of Dolores. arose as
the '1iberstor" Of Mexico and clutched
control from the feeble hands of the
Spanish viceroy.
conspiredI with his own parish in the
state of G~uanajuato, in 1910, and in the
fall of that year he rang the bell of his
church to call h people to war. An
army of $4,000 rallied to his standard.
He pressed on toward Mexico City with
constantly increasing numbers until he
had a following of loo, 900 patriotic, but
u~ndisciplined men. A force of only g.
900 veteran soldiers Of Spain delivered
O crushing defeat In January, 1911, and
drove Hidalgo to the mountains, where
he waged guerilla warfare until he was
caught and shot In July, 1871.
The list Of president n vice presi-
dents Of Mexico who have listened last

cial paper: and that the same differ
ence in intelligence and integrity ex-
lists among the wage earners and sal
aried men that exists In all lines Of
business.
An applicant for a loan is request
ed to make an honest schedule of his
debts, giving in connection with it
the amount of his salary. If his ap
plication for a loan is granted, enough
mcEsy IS loaned him to pay off his
debts. His living expenses are then
carefully considered, and his banking
paper is so arranged that he is en-
abled to pay back a certain amount
weekly, thus gradually discharging
his Indebtedness. Borrowers who can
secure money from other banks are
not desired by the Anti-Loan- Shark
people, as their funds are reserved
entirely for those who cannot get re-
lief elsewhere. During the first year
of it's business the bank took up
1850 loans out Of the hands of the
money sharks, which had been bear
ing interests ranging from per cent
to 20 per cent per month, saving in
interest to these borrowers the APP
palling sum of $4,000
Investigation has shown that 80
per cent Of those borrowing from
money sharks have been forced into
debt through prOtracted illness or
other providential causes The 1855
loans in force during the first year
of the banks business amounted to
S149,057 Among the borrowers are
men and women in all walks of life
clerks in banks, postoff1ces, grocery
stores, soda fountains, cigar stands,
printers, stenographers, switchmen,
boarding house keepers. lawyers, tai
lors, dressmakers ladies' maids, fire.
men, trained nurses, BARRIERS, preach
ers, peddiers. hucksters, paper hang
srs and even balliffs, who 1t seems
occasionally have to borrow money
hemselves-sometime
Our enterprise is a business, not
a charity" said Mr.. White, talking
of the Anti-Loan- Shark Bank. ITO
make our customers objects Of char
ity would be to emasCulate them, not
to quicken them with new life; 1t
would make them mendicants, not
useful members of society. Usually
the small borrower only wants de-
cent chance to conduct his small
business on a proper living basis, and
they are entitled to financial help"
'As a result of our organization"
he said, there has been a great
lowering Of rates of interest, and
more favorable terms Of settlement
offered by the high usurers of this
city; and since we have actively en-
tered upon the work we think-in
fact, we know-that the use of the
warrant by the justice of the peace
in the hands of the bailiff at the in
stance of money sharks has ceased
to be a. popular process of collecting
debt and we do not think it will
soon be revived"

BIGGEST BANK
IN THE WORLD"
AIDS POOR HERE
Atlanta Loan and Savings Com
pany Is a Bitter Foe of All
Loan Sharks.

There is in Atlanta a banking es-
Establishment, organized and operated
as a strictly business institution,
which has as its object the fine hui
manitarian purpose Of supplying the
small borrower with money at a low
rate of interest.
This bank, of which Mr. Woods
White Is president, and which is
called the Atlanta Loan and Savings
Company, is popularity spoken of by
those interested in its success as
the "Anti-Loan-Sh Shark Bank" 1t
was organized in June, 1911, and after
almost two years of life it may now
be looked upon as a successful
demonstration of the theory that
actuated its founders. that banking
and humanitarianism may be profit
ably combined.
Our bank should be called The
Biggest Bank in the World" said Mr.
White. 'in view of the ethical idea
back Of It and the fact that it appeals
to that class which is the largest in
every country-the small borrower"
For many years the sane business
men and philanthropists Of Atlanta
have been interested In projects of
various kinds for protecting the pub
lie from the usurious interests charg-
ed by the money sharks ranging from
100 per cent to $500 per cent annu-
ally and the cruel methods pursued
by them in the collection of their
claims. All kinds of legislation to-
ward this end has been adopted from
time to time, but none so far has
proved efficacious.
The Atlanta Loan and Savings
Bank which is operated under the
Morris Plan assumes that every
man who is intelligent enough and
honest enough to do an honest days
work Is a good basis OF credit, and
that several Of such parties together,
properly coached, make a good finan-
