Poor Mans Banking System

There exists in Virginia, with head
quarters at Norfolk, financial cor
pOration which has adopted what is
known as the Morris system" Of
loans for small borrowers, as a means
Of destroying the nefarious practise Of
usury. This institution is named the
Fidelity Corporation of America. Un-
der it's control are fifteen banks in
the south now in operation. Steps
are being taken in New York to or
ganize corporation which will take
over the southern concern and its
branches and extend the system to the
north. The plan contemplates a gen.
eral organization, the capital of which
shall be provided by the sale Of pre-
ferred stock at the par value of 500 i
share and of common stock at the par
value Of $40 share.
Under the Morris system, money is
loaned by the banks already in exist
ence in amounts of $50 or multiples Of
that sum at reasonable rates of in
terest, the acceptable applicants being
men Of guaranteed character and earn.
ing capacity The personal note of
such a borrower is taken. If the loan
is 500 the names of two indorsers are
required. On making this loan he
becomes a depositor in the bank and
pays 50 a week until his obligation is
removed. 1t is said that while the
southern banks have made loans run
ming to an aggregate of $6,O0O,OOO,
only 2 per cent of the indorsers have
been called upon to pay anything.
A poor mans bank"-an institution
to which an honest, capable wage
Garner might apply, in case of neces.
sity, for small loan without subject
ing himself to the exactions of usur-
ers-has long been needed in every
community of the United States. The
putlic is but too familiar with the op-
erations of a certain class of loan
agencies and with the consequences
resulting from dealing with them. At
time when the nation is planning to
afford better banking accommodation
to the business man by declaring com.
mercial paper to be legitimate security,
when the "short note" is apparently
destined to rank with the bond and
share when farm credits are widen
ing and rising. when the disposition
is to give honest effort a credit stand
ing at the cashiers desk, it would
seem to be only common justice to
rescue the poor man from dependence
on the INSCRIPTIONS pawnbroker or
loan agent.

new currency system will break the
strangle-hold of Wall street and other
financial centers on the business of
the country, and will give 1t free
dom of initiative and of action which
it has rarely known before. The con-
sequence of this achievement of fin
ancial independence will be to add new
force to the driving wheels of bust
ness in every section of the country,
and the reduction in the percentage
of reserve on deposits, required to be
kept by the banks under the new cur
rency law, will tend to let loose a re-
viving and stimulating addition to the
circulation that can scarcely fail to
make itself felt almost Immediately.
The wonderful crop yield that is in
Dictated comes as a strange and en-
couraging coincidence just at this
time. 1t Is almost as if the heart Of
nature and the mind of man had been
working in harmony to effect joint
purpose. Precisely at the time when
nature is preparing to lay at our feet
one of the finest and most splendid of
ferihgs she has ever made us, we meet
her in the fields with our new cur
rency delivery wagons ready to dis
tribute her bounty to every part of
tho country Whon mira m m a1ad M.
ture and an untrammeled financial
system thus get into partnership and
start working together, it may be hard
to see the clouds for the rainbOws, and
difficult to hear the feeble voice of the
croakers for the general chorus of
optimism.

Retardino Business (?))

r. M. Calkin, traffic manager OF
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
xailrOad, is quoted in the Seattle Post.
katelligencer as saying, on his re-
klrn from a recent visit in the east
nat:
Should the administration at
Washington take it's hands off the
railroads and other corporations
Of the country, quit it's policy of
shadowing these institutions and
abrOgate its gum shoeing' gener-
ally. the greatest accumulation of
money, brains and energy ever
known in America would be let
loose to bring on an unparalleled
commercial revival"
1t has been observed that since the
campaign of this year doomed above
the horizon the standpat press of the
hidebound variety has been filled with
this line of talk. but. like Manager
Calkins. they are not specific they
should make the charge more definite
and certain. as the lawyers say.
The readers of those papers would
IKE to be informed as to just what
lines of legitimate business was
threatened by the administration at
Washington" and how any business
conducted on the square could be in
iured by those measures. They would
IKE to know the names of the corpor-
atoms threatened and the manner of
the threat.
We had this same line of talk
served up when the tariff bill was
being framed yet today business in
the lines that were said to be most
directly injured show no such signs,
and in some instances a notable in.
crease is announced in those branches
Of commercial endeavor.
Again, the calamity bowler emitted
his yelps when the currency bill was
mooted. but when it became law the
budest yeIper was forced to admit 1t
Hzs an advance in monetary science
that was sure to prove beneficial.
There remains but one administra-
ton measure to complete the program
formulated by President Wilson and
that measure is absolutely necessary
II this government is to revert to the
people and not remain where the per.
verted legislation of fifty years has
placed it. in the hands of privileged
interests, alias commercial pirates.
This measure is the trust legisla-
ItOn, and the country is to be con-
graduated upon the emphatic an
uouncement of President Wilson that
he means to use every influence at his
command to get the senate to act on
those bills this summer.
Nor can those bills be made a party
issue. They passed the house almost
unanimously and the opposition in
the senate is not drawn upon party
lines No legitimate business fears
those laws and the pirates of COM
MERGE and fiance may as we'll make up
kheir minds that their special line of
Business Is going out of fashion in the
year of our Lord 1914.

Richard N. Ryon Dead

Richard N. Ryon, Clerk of the Circuit
Court for this County and one of the
most active Republicans of Southern
| Maryland, died at his home at Cottage
CITY, Saturday night of heart failure,
from which he suffered for the last
eight months. He had been extremely
| i'll for the last two weeks.
Born near Groom, he rose step by
step from farmer boy, salesman, rail
road brakeman and into the office OF
Register of Wills, Treasurer and Clerk,
an enyiable record indeed. He was al
80 Vice-President of the First National
Bank of Southern Maryland. Being
ALWAYS cheerful and ready to listen to
appeals for aid, the deceased's memory
will ever linger with thousands whom
he thus befriended.
He was 40 years old and warm per-
sonal friend of Governor Goldsburough.
Mr.. Ryon's activity in Republic poll
tics in Southern Maryland dates back
to the time of his youth. He has eight
brothers., whose homes were scattered
through different districts of Prince
Georges county and in Charles county,
and with this advantage over all the
other county forces their sway in poll
tics was powerful.
One of his warmest personal friends
was Collector William F. Stone, OF
Baltimore, who sent his condolences
to the family soon after the announce
ment of the death of Mr.. Ryon. A
brother, DR.. Nelson A. Ryon, is Dep
uty Collector of the Port in Baltimore
under Collector Stone, and he hurried
to Cottage City Saturday afternoon to
be at the side of his brother. DIR.
Ryon's home is in this county.
Mr.. Ryon was elected Clerk OF the
Circuit Court for Prince Georges
ounty four years ago last fall. In 1895
he was elected Register of Wills and in
1899 he was elected County Treasurer.
Six years ago he met his first defeat
when he ran for the Office of County
Treasurer.
Mr.. Ryon's eight surviving brothers
are DR.. Nelson A., John, William 5.
Charles A., Pinkney and Henry Ryon,
and James P. and Samuel G.. Ryon, of
Charles county.
In addition he is survived by widow,
Mrs. Essie Lowe Ryon. and two chill
dren, Mrs. Rose Kellogg and Mr.. Roland
Ryon.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
and interment was in the Congressional
Cemetery, Washington. D. ..
Rev. Mr.. McManus. of Trinity Church,
this town, brother Mason, officiated.
\ number of persons from this neigh
borhood attended the funeral.
The pallbearers were: Messrs. James
C. Rogers, T. Howard Duckett, M.
H. Magruder. W. S. Hill, c. A. M.
Wells and Joseph Hass.
