Address Of Comptroller Knott

Presenting that 1t might be OF in
terest to the bankers of the state
to have their attention called to the
progress of the state banks in Flor
ida. the following has been prepared,
The interests of all of the banks
of the state are so closely drawn to-
gether and the amount of business
transacted by the national banks is
such that any statement that does
not embrace these banks is far from
being complete showing of the
banking business in Florida, but the
statistics of national banks are not
available at short notice and it is felt
that under these circumstances such
omission will be pardoned
Prior to 1889 there was no law
providing for the incorporation of
state banks and the banking business

in this state was transacted by pri'
waite banks and State banks char
tered by special acts of the Legisla.
ture and by few national banks
that were incorporated before that
time.
Some Of the private banks exist
ing prior to 1889 were converted into
Estate or national Banks and one Of
the private banks that changed to
a national bank has the distinction
of having been in business consecu-
lively since 1856.
The report of the comptroller of
the State of Florida, shows that in
1892 there were thirteen state banks
including savings banks, with aggre-
gate assets OF $1.495,359. rs.
I'm 1901 there were rs state banks
including savings banks with aggre-
gate assets of $6,149,S52. SO, an in
crease Of $4,654,493 go.
In 1910, there were 100 state
banks including savings banks, with
aggregate assets of $23,666,379. 43.
During the period from 1901 to
1910 the aggregate increase in as
cote ,,,o e17 ere zoe ~
On December 81, 1913, the aggre-
gate assets Of the several state bank
ing institutions were $43,160 ,699.69,
showing an increase from 1910 to
1913 of $19,494,317 26. On April /,
1914, there were 1873 commercial
state banks, IL trust companies, 5
savings banks, 16 private banks,
making total of 221 within juris-
diction of the state banking depart
ment.
It will be noticed that the increase
from 1910 to 1913 was greater than
the increase from 1901 to 1910.
!, This splendid progress indicates
the prosperity of the state and it's
healthy growth in material affairs as
the state banks are widely distribut-
ed over the state and reflect, to
large exent, the prosperity Of the
different communities.
Banks nave grown to be a neces-
sity as the business of the country is
largely transacted through banking
houses and anything that tends to
injure the banks naturally has re-
flex influence upon the people, hence
the great Importance of conservative
management by banking officials and
the avoidance Of any business that is
questionable or is not strictly within
the province of legitimate banking.
If all of the bank officials would
pursue this course, there would new
er be bank failure as involuntary
liquidation is preceded by misman-
agement
In conclusion, | want to say the
people and the business interests of
Florida are to be congratulated upon
the wise and conservative manage
ment of the banks Of the state in the
past and upon the promise that good
safe banking will continue in the fu-
ture.

HUNTING THE CARIBOU.
Curiosity Often Lures the Watehfu'
Animal to lts Fate.

In hunting the caribou quietness is
essential. Never break a twig If you
can avoid it. for cracking branch
makes noise which carries far and
may give warning of your approach to
the very stag you particularly want.
Equally important is it to keep a sharp
lookout at all times. especially when
entering barren. where stag may
be sleeping, for under such conditions
they are hard to see. Among the nu-
merous gray dead stumps and moss
covered low trees the color of the carl.
bOu is so inconspicuous that the I'M
trained eye will fail to detect the ami
NAL even at close range. The first in
timation will be a glimpse of a disap-
pearing patch Of white as the caribou
vanishes into the woods.
All these things considered. the carl
bou Of Newfoundland Is not as alert as
any other deer that know Of and is
therefore more readily approached.
There is. OF course. great variation
among them. some being extremely

ers are so absurdly tame that they will
allow man to walk right up to within
a few yards before taking fight. Curl

them. When once 1t is aroused they

ter to count too much on it. for the
very thing which you imagine will
tempt this curiosity will as likely AS
not brighten them away. Sometimes
Il strange noise will make them very
inquisitive. and they will come within
a few feet to find out what it is. Then.
occasionally. white handkerchief
will have the same effect.-A. Rad.

Misleading Bookkeeping.

Even bookkeeping is not an exact sci
ence. For behold! how often is it that
one man will put into the expense ac-
count Il given expenditure-say. the
rebuilding OF machine-thus reducing
his profits by this amount. while an
other will put such an item to the
asset account. and each can advance
weighty arguments and reasons as to
the logic of his methods. But the net
results of operation will differ widely
with the same actual occurrences. so
that even bookkeeping may be said
merely to present results dependent
upon the aspects Of the situation as
rendered by those who have the au-
thority or opportunity to interpret

ENGLAND'S OPINION

 parations With Critical Eyes
LAssoc1ArEn PRESS D1sPArcHl


 LONDON, April 21.-The Daily Tele graph says: One of those great waves of national feeling which from time to time swept away political dissensions among Americans has gone throughout the United States. There is no nation in the world more punctilious over the honor of it's flag and it is merely just for the Americans to say that if the insult had come from a more formid able aggressor the manifestation of public resolve to have reparation would only have been stronger and more Vio- lent"
 The Globe says: Tn the declaration that the military operations of the United States are being taken not against the people of Mexico. but against Gen. Huerta we have the root of the weakness of President Wilson's policy He undertakes to say who does. or who does not represent the Mexican people. That is pretension to which there is no other issue than annexation or q prOtectorate, as valid as that now exercised over Cuba"
