GOOD ROADS MAxlMS
(By ]. A. Roundtree, Secretary United
States Good Roads Association,
Birmingham, AIa.)


All talk and no work will not make
roads good.
If the roads around a town are bad
it might as well be on an island.
Good roads bring a better school
life closer church life, a happier So
cial life.
Good roads are easy on you, easy
on your horses, easy on the wagon,
easy on the harness.
1t is to good roads that this coun-
try must look largely for its future
growth and development.
You can have any kind of road you
are willing to pay for The poorer
they are, the more you pay.
Good roads mean that you can come
to town with twice the load, in half
the time that you used to.
a farm ten miles from town on a
hard road is nearer than a farm five
miles from town on a soft road.
Good roads will increase, health.
wealth, happiness, education, rrlig-
ion, morality, civilization and pros

Made New Ruling Exacting.

Comptroller Williams made the new
ruling eXacting. He directed that no
officer or employe of a national bank
should pay or charge to the account
of any depositor when there was not
sufficient funds on deposit to the
credit of the drawer of the check to
meet it. There is some modification
OF this rule in prospect.
The comptroller's call for new in
formation is certain to cause sharp
comment in the banking world AL
ready some have attempted to make
it an issue in the Riggs suit. The
Riggs bank issued a statement de-
claring that the call for information
was but belated attempt to obtain
from all banks information which the
Riggs bank had charged was con-
fined to it heretofore ito such an
extent as to constitute the harass-
bank complained" This has been
echoed by some of the eastern bank
ers, particularly those in Philadel-
phia and who are loud in their pro-
test against this new order Bank
ers do not relish the idea of having
to dig through FIVE years record
Applied from this time forward the
new additions to the usual report
are not so severe, but the complaint
is they are added to an already long
list of innovations.

farmer that he will kill his horse to

The better the roads to farmers

farm to town, thereby increasing the
value of same.
Good roads will improve every con
dition of rural life; and they will cost
you no more than poor roads are cost
ing you now.
Good roads will encourage the coun-
try folks to come to town, and will
bring the city folks out in the country

Good roads will decrease ignorance

profanity, back taxes, sheriffs sales

State and national air for perma-
nent roads is sure to come, but it is
not likely to come to any community
that has by their lack of interest in
good roads shown that they are un-
worthy OF same.
Go at road improvement with the
same determination you would dig
bitches or build fences, with the full
realization that it is for your own
personal benefit and profit; and not
merely public duty"

ASKS SCOPE Of
BANK KREPORTS
Be W|DENED
COMPTROLLER GIVES NATIONAL
DEPOSlTARlES ANOT Err
sous RCE OF IRRITATION -
WANTS TO KNOW OF FEES.

Washington, May S-The irritation
said to have been felt by many bank
ers over the eXactions used by John
Shelton Williams, comptroller of the
currency, for obtaining information
about the condition and practices of
national banks, is somewhat in
creased by the comptroler's most
recent enlargement of the scope of
reports which banks are required by
law to make to his department. A
loud protest has gone up from some
of the financial centers, and in an
other way effort has been attempted
to make the new rule an issue in
the Riggs National bank suit
While the reports demanded of
banks are said to be more elaborate
than those heretofore demanded, the
latest order of the comptroller makes
them more so by including questions
concerning overdrafts, officers sal
aries and rents tor bank buildings.
What special purpose the comptrol-
ler's office has in mind is not an
| nounced.
The new items in the next report
will include under the head Of over
drafts, those which have been stand
ing for more than six months, those
| II, tho tan,nororv clocc aud tboco ~
| officers and directors, and the total
of all. The comptroller wants to
! know whether the overdrafts are Sc
cured or unsecured, also the amount
in overdrafts that has been charged
off during the last five years, with
statement made for each of the
years.
Wants to Know About Fees.
In regard to the liabilities of Of
fcers and directors, the department
wants to know the fees paid them
for attending bank meetings. The
new statement calls for the gross
and net revenue received from the
banks building during the year, the
amount the bank charges itself for
the quarters it occupies, and the as
sessed valuation of the property.
Comptroller Williams started by an
order he issued Jan. 2S to abolish
overdrafts, and the call of March
showed that there had been a shrink
age of more than 80 per cent. The
amount of money in all the national
banks involved in overdrafts on Dec.
81 was $15,794 900, and on March
it was $7,042, 900 The idea has
proven a popular one, according to
statements at the comptroller's office
and based upon letters received from
national bankers. Many of the in
stitutions have been able to shut
down on accounts. the balances in
which were always on the debit side
of the ledger, and comprised accounts
regarded as undesirable, but hard to
get rid of.
Southern banks carried the greater
amount in overdrafts, as shown by
the call of last December, their total
having been $5,43700O which has
been reduced to a little more than
100000 The middle west carried
$46O4, 900, but has Topped off $2,164,-
600 The west proper has reduced
from $23SO, 900 to $S7S,OOO, the Pa
ciiic states from S1,S35. 900 to $797 900.
New England from S3O7,OOO to 1885,
600, and Alaska and Hawaii from
$4,000 to $1,000.

came out strong for Mayor Harrison
today in several speeches to moth
ers at the Harrison MONDAY meet
ings. She said the welfare Of the
school children of Chicago depended
on the mayors reelection.
ANY one who criticises an admin
istration when it should be criticised
should, in all fairness, give credit
where credit is due. That is my posi-
tion," said Miss Haley.
'rMr. Harrison retained Mrs. Young
when she was threatened with re-
moval, the only charges against her
being that she was woman and an
educator.
Every woman who has the vel
fare of the children and schools of
Chicago at heart should approve this
action and indicate approval in a way
to let public officials know women ap-
precite their friends and will stand by
them.
"And unless we do recognize our
friends among public officials, and
support them, women can expect
nothing.
