A LETTER TO DAWES.

Charles G. Dawes, Pres. Central Trust
Co. of ILL.,, Chicago. Dear Sir: Noting
the fact that you are going to address
the Chicago Association of Commerce
at its luncheon tomorrow noon at the
Hotel La Sale, and also because of
the many uncomplimentary remarks
l have heard and also seen in print
regarding your connection with the
exhibition of our state bank exam
liner of 81 $50, 900 for and on behalf of
the now defunct La Sale Street Trust
& Savings bank, am now, as mem
Der of the association, going to sug-
gest to you that, as ten-minute pro-
logue to your address, you explain
and, if possible, justify your action
in said transaction.
The only excuse l have so far seen
in print as coming from you is the
purported statement that it was
merely customary banking court
esq., and not at all uncommon.
If it is really true that it is COM
mon thing for the banks of this or
any other city to thus hoodwink and
deceive bank examiners, either state
or national, it strikes me as a very
grave and serious matter-one which
many if not all of the members of the
association will be pleased to have
cleared and frankly explained; be-
cause if such practices really are
common among banks it makes gov
ernmental inspection of banks, both
state and national, a farce and joke,
and is serious because of its gross
violation of our laws and resultant
deception and losses to depositors.
One thought have in making the
above suggestion to you is that if
there is a valid and legal or moral ex-
cuse for such practices you will, in
justice to yourself, be pleased to
avail yourself of the opportunity of
making such explanation to such a
representative body of men as you

THE BOOKS OF TODAY
BY A. w. Scott

From the big and busy city,
Where they sing the "greenback"
ditty,
Comes a 'zinlet that is witty,
And it gives me clever views;
But doesn't dwell on murder details,
Never harps on guilty females,
Omits the ads, both large and retails,
Just relates the vital news.
Never sticks a wet ad in
And, adjoining, knocks the sin;
A method that is much too thin
To even make it pay.
1t will never get the hook"
Unless, by chance, from some big
Crook"
Yes, it's always called the BOOK,
And it's on the stand Today. Look!

Tempe News Notes
IS ALLOWED WAGES
 DUE HIM FOR LABOR
Civil Case in Tempe Justice Court
 Decided in Favor of Plaintiff

Judgment to the amount of S10S.00 was rendered by the Tempe justice court yesterday morning in favor of r.. $. Garrison who was suing J. F.. Price for fifty-four days wages he claims were due. The case is one that has been dragging along for several years. Back in 1912 is when Garrison is alleged to have worked for Priccs~and it is apparent that the case is not yet over for immediately after the judgment was rendered yes terday morning, Price through his at torney D w. Windes, gave notice that he would appeal.
 Garrison alleges that he worked exactly fifty-four days in the sum mcr of 1912 for Price on his ranch east of town and he claimed wages due him to the amount iof $1350O Price claimed that no wage was stip- plated and he furnished other evil denCe which he cOntended would clear him of the case. Judge Austin awarded Garrison wages due him at the rate of two dollars per day. Price still contended that no judgment was due and in lieu of settling, the case will probably be appealed to either higher court or given jury trial in the local court.
