LOCAL BANK HEADS
THE LIST OF HONOR
ToNoPAH BANKING CORPORA
TloN CARRIES HIGHEST RE.
SERVE IN STATE

The annual report, for the year
1914, of the retiring state bank exam
iner, Mr.. c. f. Williams, has reached
this office, This report considers the
condition of all banks operating under
and by virtue of the laws OF the State
of Nevada, at the close of business,
December 10, 1914.
1t is pleasing to note that the
banking department of our state gov
eminent has been operated on a most
economical basis during the past TWO
years; and that the service rendered
has been of direct benefit to the state
at large is very evident Mr. VIII
iams states that he has collected
from the banks in licenses, during the
past year, the sum Of S3,475; and that
the total expenses Of the department
for the year, including salaries,
amounted to s5,76232 This would
make the net cost to the taxpayers
for the maintenance Of this important
office, for the year 1914, the small
sum of $2,2S7.32. In this respect we
also note that out of the appropria-
tion of $4,000, made by the legisla-
ture two years ago, for the use of
the banking department, Mr.. Williams
has at the expiration of his term of
office returned to the general fund
of the state the sum of S2661.75.
Somewhat of a contrast to the opera
tons OF other state commissions,
which have expended amounts in ex,
cess Of their appropriations and must
look to the legislature for relief.
Mr. Williams states that there have
been no failures among the state
banks during the past year AS a
matter of fact, the records of office
OF the banking board show no fail
ures OF state banks during the past
four years of Republican administra-
ton, speaking volumes for Governor
Oddie's appointments of bank exam
iners, and for the personnel OF the
state banking board
Mr. Williams has been in office
since July, 1914. succeeding Eugene
Howell, deceased who was bank eX-
aminer from 1910 up to the time of
his death June %, 1914, and to whom
Mr.. Williams pays fitting tribute
for efficient service rendered.
It should be particularly gratifying
to the people Of Ton6pah, to learn
that the local state bank. The Tono-
pah Banking Corporation. heads the
list of honor among all our state
banks for the amount Of reserve car
ried According to the bank exam.
ner's report this bank carries the
highest reserve of all banks in the
state. viz. sixty-one per cent of the
depositors' money, which means in
plain English that the bank could i'm.
mediately pay back to the depositors.
without collecting any loans. sixty-one
per cent OF the $3.50, 900 on deposit,
as shown by the statement of Dee
10. 1914, This speaks volumes FOR
the conservative policies OF the man.

is to be congratulated upon his econ
omical administration OF the import
ant office he has so ably filed.

THE PEOPLE YOU USE

In the February American Maya
zine David Grayson, writing his new
story "Hempfeld,' presents a char
aeter, Ed. Smith. whose abilities are
partly taken from the story:
1T was easy for Ed to size up
people, for he had just two classifca-
lions, those people whom he could
use, and those who could use him.
His problem of life thus became quite
simple: it consisted in shifting as
many as possible Of those of the sec

The purpose Of this legislation is to
hold the family together, to give the
children the benefit of mothers care
and to prevent their deindiyidualiz-
ing treatment by wholesale. 1t is
calculated that the new law will cost
the state somewhat more money than
the forper plan of child rescue, but it
will unquestionably rob widowhood
among the poor of much of its terror.
At present the average woman
whose husband dies is left to face the
problem not merely of self-support,
but of feeding, housing and clothing
her little ones, not to speak of edu-
eating them. In the absence of aid
the children invariably suffer unless
the mother by superhuman sacrifices
makes good the loss of the husbands
income. This drives her into the
working field, already crowded, and
often results in sending the children
forth to labor before they are physic-
