NATIONAL BANKS ARE
IN GOOD SHAPE

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-The
new federal reserve banking system
will start business with total author
lied capital of about $i0o.0o0,0O0 for
all reserve banks. This fact became
apparent tonight when figures wers
made public from all national banks
responding to the last call of the Comp
troller of the currency, made March 4.
The total capital and surplus of the
7,4s4 national banks reporting was
given at about s1,7ss.ooo.ooo. Under
the reserve act each national bank
must subscribe<six per cent of its CAPT.
tai and surplus to the capital of the
reserve bank in its district and six per
cent ST this total would be about $780,
0eSJ. 900. There were only 1855 ma
tional banks who signified in the legal
times their intention to enter the sys-
tenn. so that the total would be some
what reduced, but the entrance into
the system of state banks and trust
companies will tend to Offset this and
it Is possible that with these institu-
tions figures in the capital of all re-
serve banks will be near $110,00O,0OO.
Half May BE Paid In.
The actual working capital Of all the
banks may reach only half this amount
for the law provides mandatory sub
scriptions of three-sixths of the total
six per cent. The reserve board, the
machine which will direct the system,
however, is authorized to demand the
payment of the other three-sixths.
The statement today shows national
banks in excellent condition to meet
the demands of the new law. Some
observers we're surprised by the fact
that loans and discounts have increas-
ed instead of being curtailed. Loans
and discounts on March 4, 1914. totaled
$685., 535,898, a gain of over January

ing for their reserve bank stock 30
days after the announcement Of the
districts and reserve cities, and it was
believed in some quarters that today's
statements might show decrease in
loans and discounts because of this
impending announcement. The loan
and discounts increase taken together
with the fact that individual deposits
increased in the same period by more
than $39,OO0,OOO was said to be the
best indication that the national banks
are in shape to meet the demands of
the new system.

MHAT OF THE HOMELESS AT HOME?


few weeks ago a certain daily newspaper IN
one OF the great cities started lnovemnt for
sending a ship load of Christmas presents to the
orphans of Europe.
The idea stookg-because it new and
novel and 1t afforded opportunity for cheap
notoriety The fact that ship load OF food
would have given greater and more pressing re
lief did not matter There was glory in sending
food to the starving.
Now another great daily paper comes for
ward with scheme for having American homes
adopt the orphans of Europe.
That, like the Christmas ship, is more or
Ness co11mendable; and it, too, affords an excel
lent means of Advertising advertising the news
paper and "some people,
1t is well to relieve distress in Europe. 1t is
well to provide homes for the orphans. Both may
bring forth letters of thanks from kings and
queens ant, lesser, dignitaries. All of which, to
be sure would make excellent reading in print.
But what of home?
What of the hundreds of thousands of child
rem in our own country to whom Christmas will be
but an empty name-a mockery?
What Of the little babes in our own country
who are pining and dying fol want Of proper
nourishment?
What of the mothers whose breasts are
empty because the table is bare?
What of the fathers who are walking the
streets because there is no employment for them
What of the young girls in the great cities
who are dragged down to the depths because their
positions are gone their board bills are overdue,
snd they have nowhere TO turnAA1.no great paper
to had a campaign in their behalf? 8
Europe has our sympathy-it should have
what assistance we may reasonably extend.
But charity should begin at home and the
Lord Knows there is abundant call for it in the
United States today ,e4 s.
but then there is no glory in that-no adj,

THE WORTH OF OUR WAR MONEY.

We are a peaceful nation that spends enor-
nous Sums of money on armament In the last
six years our military establishment has cost
ST 400, 900, 900. That is about a quarter of a
billion dollars a year. averaging over one-fourth
Of the total expenditures of the government for
al purposes whatsoever. ssh 6tse stsasea
We regard Germany as the most reckless of
nations in her lavish war preparations. But Ger
many has spent regularly very little more for her
army and navy than we have for ours. The last
olStainab1e figures show an annual disbursement
of $eo4, 900 to our So so,ooo,ooo: What have
we got to show for our money? Certainly not
efficiency, if the critics of both Branches Of uor
war establishments ARE to be credited II,
Have we the worth of our $Ioo, 100000
year in an army Well trained And easily modified,
in excellent conrnssary and hospital service, in
reserve Supplies of rifles, ammunition, accountre-
n1ents, etc. in artillerymen guns and shells for
our coast defenses? Have we the worth of our
$1so,ooo, 900 a year in modern warships service
able and fully manned?
There is no need to get excited about the
matter We are not face to face with crisis.
But the European war makes calm discussion of
such subjects timely and pertinent. One of the
things the public is soon going to insist on know
ing is:
Haven't we been spending enough money all
these years for war purposes? And if So why
haven't we got the worth of our money!"
