There was enough money on de-
posit in the state and national banks
and trust companies and the postal
savings banks of Missouri on Novem-
Der 10, 1915, to give every man, wom-
an and child in the state over $140
according to the figures just made
public by Bank Commissioner r.
Mitchell.
AS compared with the returns for
October 81, 1914, there has been a
total increase in resources of $37,-
473,121.91. This set of figures does
not include national banks.
Changes in the principal items of
resources and liabilities of state in
stitutions as compared with returns
of year ago, are as follows:
Increases Loans and discounts:
$591, 1,148.28; in cash and sight ex-
change, $50, O,4S4, 10000; in capital and
surplus, $7,2O7O96,55; deposits, S27,-
337,515.73.
Decreases-In bills payable, $7OS,-
254.31.
In 1914 there were 1852 banks and
trust companies, and in 1915 1873.
The new banks are all small, with
capital ranging from $4,000 to little
more than twice that sum.

Soft Coal In Missouri.

Since 1840 when the coal deposits
of Missouri were first worked, up to
the present time, operators have TAX
en- 124,104,452 tons of coal from the
mines OF Missouri, according to a re-
cent bulletin issued by the commits
sioner of labor.
The 1914 output of the mines, not
including the small quantities dug by
farmers and others for their own use,
amounted to 1885, short tons, with
spot value Of $6,S02,325.
This was decrease over 1913 when
the production amounted to 4,318,125
short tons with a mine value of ST.
368,34S, the decrease being 382,1
tons, or S.S5 per cent in quantity and
S.92 per cent in value. The decrease
is attributed primarily to the mild
winter Missouri experienced last sea-
son.
Macon county again held first rank
for the amount of coal mined during
1914, the output being 765,365 tons,
worth at an average OF S1.58 per ton,
$1,20S,SO4. 1t is figured that it took
1855 miners $50 days to produce that
quantity of coal. Further returns in
dicate that Macon county shipped out
733,7O3 tons of coal, sold locally 21,-
037 tons, and used at the mines for
steam and heat 1925 tons.
The number of fatal accidents in
the coal mines of Missouri increased
from 10 in 1913 to 19 in 1914. Mis-
souri's coal history dates hack to 1906
when it was found on the banks of
the Usage river. At the present rate
of consumption it is figured that the
Missouri coal deposits will last 5000
years.

state GROWING ParslmonIous

State Growing Parslmonlous
The attorney generals office has
written an opinion to the state audi
tor holding that county collectors
must make settlement for the entire
amount of money collected by them,
and are not entitled to retain for
their own use the sum accommodating
from the collection of a full cent on
every tax bill ending in the fractional
part of a cent
Auditor Gordon asked Attorney
General Barker for an opinion on this
subject after making an examination
Of the records of former collectors Of
Cole county, and finding that they
had received considerably more
money than they had accounted for
in their settlements.
1t has been the practice of collec-
tors Of Cole county for many years
to pay into the county treasury a sum
equal to the total assessed valuation
of the county, multiplied by the tax
rate. Under the statute the collector
is required to collect a full cent when
ever a tax bill ends in the fractional
part of a cent. AS there are 10000
tax bills year in Cole county, the
aggregate sum of the fractional cents
collected amounted to several hun.
dred dollars a year.
The state auditor asked the attor-
ney general whether collectors could
be compelled to restore to the treas
ury the amount Of money they had
retained as the result of the practice
of making no accounting for the frac-
tional parts of cents collected by
them, and has received the reply
noted above.
