The action Of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo in publishing lists
of country national banks which show
larger reserves than the Is per cent
required by law Is an ill-adyised move.
The secretary has complained that
some banks are boarding gold, re-
stricting credits. and advancing rates.
This publicity by the secretary Is an
attempt to force banks to increase
loans and maintain normal interest
rates.
In the first place, these large legal
reserves are not held to any great
extent in the banks vaults but are
with the reserve agents, and the re-
serve centers arel gaming these funds,
so this part cannot be called idle
money. If the secretary a found
some banks with excessive reserves
in their " vaults, he might have
asked for an explanation. Getting
prepared for the heavy demands OF
crop moving probably would have
been the reason advanced by many
banks in the west and northwest.
Such action by the secretary will
fail to accomplish the purpose sought
and only succeed in stirring up an
tagonism among bankers. The pity
OF it is that the bankers and the
government have been getting closer
together in the past few months and
there is need right now of all the CO.
operation possible to work u pres
sing financial problems.
1t Is impossible for the officials at

Washington to have the grasp of the
local situation in various cities and
to know why some banks carry much
larger reserves than others. They
should know, however, that in trying
times like these many borrowers are
greater risks to banks, and credits
must be guaged accordingly. 1t is
also plain to everyone that many
lines of business are restricted and
this results in a shrinkage Of loans,
a situation the bankers are pOWerless
to change.
It is no doubt true that in the face
of such a world calamity as now con
fronts US many bankers have taken
counsel too often of their fears and
leaned too strongly toward conserva-
tism. Bankers are only human, and
besides they have the additional re-
sponsibility Of taking care of other
peoples money. What the situation
demands is something to brace up the
courage of the timid ones, and not
public %censure, such as Secretary Nc
Adoo has chosen to hand out indis-
criminately. It looks as though Sec
rotary McAdoo had Numbered in han
ding this matter, or allowed Comp
troller Williams %pugnacity to commit
him to a position he will regret. For
the federal government to attempt 20
dictate to individual banks regarding
reserves and interest rates, Is not re-
assuring as to the success of the new
egional reserve system.-COmmerclal

BRIDGES TO BE BUILT BY COUNTY BOARD

The county board for the ensuing
year will build the bridges of the
county under its own supervision. in
other words, it has decided to cut out
the bridge contractors.
1t is well known that among the
big bridge builders of the country
there Is a combination by which one
firm has practically its W way In
one section and another in some 9th
er section.
When the county board last called
for bids, the big contractor which has
control of this region put in two bids
--one for steel bridges and the other
for cement bridges. The prices for
steel bridges were away up. as usual,
but, to shut out local competition, the
prices for the cement bridges we're
down to bedrock.
The last three bridges built by the
county have been cement, under this
last bidding, thus shutting out the

struct a steel one at the same place
but the cemen bridge is said to be
much superior for lasting qualities.
The county board, basing its judg
ment upon it's recent experience, has
decided for the ensuing year to cut
out the big bridge contractors and
proceed to construct such bridges as
may be needed under its own super
vision, with a competent overseer il
charge.
The question of the legal status OF
thee ase was brought up, 1t having
been commended by representatives o.
the bridge contractors that the county
has no authority Under law to pro
coed with such work other than by
contract, but this was referred 10

SHALL CODINGTON COUNTY HAVE A
NEW POOR FARM OR COUNTY ASYLUM?
A Frank and Comprehensive Statement by the Members
Of the County Board.

The county commissioners have
called a special election to be held
on November 3rd, at the same time
and at the same places as the regular
election for the purpose of voting
upon the proposition of whether or
not the county commissioners shall
be authorized to expend not to ex-
coed $25, 0O0.0 90, for the purpose Of
buying, building and maintaining a
| poor asylum. This acton was taken
by the members of the board of coun-
ty commissioners after due consider
alton of all matters pertaining to the
poor of the county.
In order that the voters may have
an idea what the county commission
ers have in mind, the commissioners
wish to submit the following infor-
nation for the purpose Of informing
the voters as to the situation in re-
! gard to the poor of Codington county.
At the present time the county has
a poor farm that will accommodate
not to exceed eight patients. There
are no accommodations for the sick,
but only accommodations for poor
who are able to look after themselves
but need the support Of the county.
The poor farm is maintained wholly
by the county, and is not at the pres
ent time paying for itself, or assist
ing to any extent. The building on
the farm is nearly thirty years old,
and inadequate for the purpose for
which It'll S used. 1t would be very
expensive to the county to try to
improve o. rebuild this house. The
poor farm is maintained at an ex-
pense of nearly $1,500.O0 a year, and
at no time is able to accommodate
to exceed eight patients.
What the commissioners would like
to do, is to erect a building suitable
for the county, n that will accom-
modate at least twenty-six to thirty
patients, and also to equip the same
so that the sick will be able to be
treated at the poor farm under the
direction of competent nurses and
doctors, to be employed by the coun-
ty; the building to be modern in all
respects, and of sufficient size to meet
the needs of the county, at present as
well as in the future.
At the present time, the county
cases that need medical attention are
taken to one of the hospitals at Wa
tertown, where, by contract, the
county is compelled to pay $1.2O per
day for each and every patient taken
to the hospital. Beside this, the
county is compelled to expend large
sums of money each year for the
maintenance Of the poor in the city
Of Watertown, as we'll as in other
parts of the county. However, the
greater portions of the need is in the
city of Watertown, where, during
the winter months. large number of
families are upon the county for sup
port. If a new farm was established,
the county commissioners could ac-
commodate these poor, at much less
expense, and at far greater advan-
tage than they are able to do at the
present time. During the year, end
Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1914-10-29

what was expended for the poor farm
the sum of $7,465.S9. This same
amount is expended each year for the
maintenance of the poor, and caring
for the sick, that are purely county
charges.
!, Not only would the poor farm be
a benefit to the county, but under
favorable conditions would be a pay
ing proposition. That is, if the poor
ing June 30th, 1914, the county ex-
pended for the poor, outside and over
farm was properly managed, and suf-
ficient poor were confined therein,
they would be able to farm the land,
and to pay for their own keeping,
making the only cost to the taxpay-
ers of the county, the cost of build
ing the asylum. If this can be
worked out, SO that the poor farm
will pay it's own running expenses,
then the county will be saving each
year about So, 000.0 90, and in a short
time would save enough to pay for
they asylum that they propose to
build.
A great many people also take ad-
vantage of the fact that we have no
poor farm sufficient to accommodate
the number that should be accommo-
dated by a county like Codington
county, and ask for help from the
county, when if the county were able
to say to them, 1--WE have room to ac-
commodate you at the poor farm,
that you are welcome to go there,
or1 +Lo 1l,,n{r u,s11 +o1ro noro 30 x,n,, -
they would no doubt go to work, and
be able to support their own fam
lilies without the help from the coun-
ty, thereby causing a big saving to
the county.
The commissioners also feel that il
a poor farm Is built and maintained
in the as provided by law,
that the commissioners could adver-
tise for supplies and provisions and
buy all the supplies in large quanti-
ties, whereas at the present time they
are compelled to buy In small guam
titles at retail prices; the commits
sioners would save the county large
sums of money, in the purchasing of
the provisions for the farm, beside
the farm could produce nearly all
Of the vegetables and other sup
plies that may be raised OF a farm,
without any cost to the county what
ever.
The commissioners desire that the
voters of the county carefully con-
slider this matter, and when election
comes on November 3rd, that in vot-
ing the small ballot. as to the Poor.
Asylum, you place a o in the
square opposite the word Yes, and
vote in favor of the building Of this
asylum, as the commissioners believe
it will be a vote for the best inter
ests Of Codington county.
