WANT UNIFORM NOTES
ON COLLATERAL LOANS
District Bankers Association Will
Attempt Such Action at Meet
ing Monday Next.
Dividends Passed and Declared
Railroad Earnings for August.
Financial Notes and Gossip.
BY I. A. FLEMING,

AT the next meeting of the District
Bankers Association to be held at the
New Willard Hotel Monday evening,
topics of very general interest to the
banking fraternity will be brought up
for discussion.
In addition to matter of discounting
notes in accordance with the custom
prevailing in other large cities, and of
changing demand" to time loans, there
VIII also be discussed the oft talked of
question of a uniform collateral note.
1t is understood that form has been
prepared and will be submitted to the
meeting for consideration. Because of
rulings in various states, the discussion
and citations of these rulings will be
interesting and may make it necessary
10 amend materially the proposed for
mula.
In the event of the association adopt
ing uniform note, brevity and consid-
GRAFTON to the rights of the borrower.
without whom the banking business
would not be profitable, consistent with
safety to the bank, should be attained,
II possible No action should be taken
along this line except after approval of
the proposed formula by the counsel of
the organization.
1T is not likely that there will be any
S1Snatory agreement upon the matter
OF dlscounting notes. Simply an under
- l.
probably cover the action. Discount
ing of notes is hardly in the nature of
the restriction of trade and commerce,
and yet some disgruntled borrower
might make the charge. Then there
are always exceptional cases.
The debate on the proposed projects
is sure to be interesting and instruc-
tive. For this reason the meeting
should be attended by every member
of the association.
Call for $25, 200, 900 Gold.
The first call from the committee
having in charge the gold pool for the
relief of the foreign exchange situa-
ton has wired to all contributors a
call for IS per cent payments. This
will partially repay gold loans made
in New York and forwarded to Canada
and relieve the pressure on the foreign
exchange market.
Washington's share of S1S7,5o0 has
been in the hands of the local COM
mittee for several days, and will be
promptly forwarded.
English SovereignS are in great de-
mand, largely by people intending to
visit England and who find trouble
in negotiating letters of credit without
specifying where credits are to be
cashed, names of cities, etc.
Pass Dividends.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, October 14.-Wheat ad-
vanced in price today owing to higher
quotations at Liverpool and because
of continued falling off in northwest
ern receipts both sides of the Canadian
line. In addition transatlantic crop
estimates were bullish and there was
decrease in the European visible
supply. The purchasing here was led
by export houses. The start. which
ranged from Is to " higher. was
followed by other moderate gains.
Corn values hardened on account of
wet weather and as result of wheat
strength. Sellers were scarce. After
opening u to 3s up, the market seemed
inclined to hold to the top level
reached.
Export sales at New York put firm
ness into oats Country offerings
were small.

mated as being at the rate of 1000

Inocuous Kicking.

After being in office but few weeks, City
Manager Waite of Dayton, was informed by his
financial department that the city's revenues
would be eight per cent less than had been prom
ised. Without moments hesitation the new
executive notified the head Of each department
to shave his program of improvements eight per
cent. This, of course, was the only business-like
thing to do. It was cutting the suit according to
hOwled to heaven at this and raised Ned because
the city. was not to make all the improvements
promised. They preferred plunging the city into
debt to financial efficiency.
A local clique is in the same boat. Some of
them are constitutional kickers, tired of hearing
Aristides called "The just" and fault finding
from force of habit. Others are bitter because
of not having been able to crafty their own pri-
vate ambitions at the expense of the city. These
are raising cry because the Robbins admins
tration is actually making good on it's efficiency
pledges and kick because the officials are not
willing to plunge the city deeper into debt.
In small way, these chronic kickers are get
ting the of the public but their little teapot
tempest will soon blow over. The taxpayers of
the city are beginning to discover what can be
accomplished by the application of business prin-
ciples to public affairs and they are not at this
late day to be blinded by such dust as can be
kicked up by the caterwauers.

Richmond School Efficiency.

Tho school hoard announces that in spite of
general improvements in equipments ana metn-
DDS, it will decrease the school tax from ninety
one to ninety cents. This is as good news 10 the
general citizens as to the taxpayer IL SHOWS
what can be done in public work where politics
is not permitted to rule.
Through the completion of the high school
building and the erection of the Joseph Moore
school. $4,000 was added to the school c1ty's
bonded indebtedness, yet the bond tax was kept
down to fifteen cents Two new teachers were
added to the staff and the total tuition expense
was increased from $1O2,500 to $105,0O0. Yet in
spite of these additional financial burdens, the
tax rate has been shaved off one cent. This can
mean nothing else than that the business affairs
of the school system are being managed with
greater efficiency.
The past year has been significant one IN
the history of Richmond schools. They have
been managed with conservative Judgment in
progressive spirit.
1t is coming to be accepted by educators
pretty generally that the old theory which look
ed upon high schools AS merely furnishing
courses preparatory to entering college must be
abandoned. Only an extremely small percentage
of high school graduates ever take college
course. Yet in the past the entire high school
system has been adapted to the interests of this
small number. This has been unjust to those
who could not take college course and to those
taxpayers who had to spend money for college
preparatory training which their children could
not enjoy. The principle is now being accepted
that high school must prepare the boy and girl
for life, rather than for college. To this end vo-
cational training is being installed in order that
the high school graduate may, when he steps
into his position in life, have fitness for his
vocation. In this work, the Richmond schools
have made decided advance during this past
year and we are rapidly approaching an ideal vo-
cational training system
The night school work was more successful
last year than ever before. Its enrolment was
fifteen per cent more than the preceding year
and twenty-one teachers were employed. This
night work is undoubtedly opening up a door
through which the public school system may
finally be SO arranged that the entire citizenship
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-07-21

Of the. community may go to school the whole
year round.
The summer school conducted in the White
water district, while new experiment, was de-
cided success. At the expiration of the term, the
attendance was more than one hundred and
fifty. Encouraged by this result, the school
board has planned to undertake the vacation
school again next summer.
Another venture distictively successful was
the Social Center experiment at the same school.
Although this was conducted by voluntary work
ers it was carried on in cooperation with the
school officials and the credit for its successful
outcome very largely belongs to them. It is prac-
tically certain that, encouraged by the of
this venture, they will plan more largely for So
cial Center work in the future.
When one contemplates the savings made by
the good business sense of the members Of the
school board none of whom are efficiency ex-
perts, the question arises if this much can be
done under these circumstances, why couldn't
much more be saved if complete efficiency sys-
tenn is installed in the schools? The employment
of a school expert for two three months would
cost comparatively little but he would doubtless
be able as result of his survey, to offer many
valuable suggestions which would not only save
money but would even add to the present eff
cheney of the school system.
But whether or no this is done, Richmond
people have every reason to feel proud of their
schools 1t would be difficult to name any COM
munity in which the boys and girls enjoy so
great an opportunity to become fitted for the
tasks and opportunities of life.
