PLACES FOR RELATIVES
What It Costs Cook County to
Pay for Jobs for Leading
Political Families.

Oscar T.. Hewitt writes as follows
in the Chicago Herald Of September
10:
A large part Of the fierce fighting
today relates to jobs. Il Is the plums
that attract the interest OF the large
and small politicians to most Of the
county offices.
The practical politician knows what
he is working for. But for the lay
man, II may be news to know that
the county Offices involved in the pri-
maries today control 1921 regular jobs
and spend annually on extra jobs
about $4,000.
The county Offices, for which candi.
dates will be selected today, have an
annual pay roll of $2,261.SO0. This
sum Is distributed among tho various
Offices in the tabulation below, which
also shows the number of regular
monthly jobs in each as follows:

What amount of street sweepings
can be put into curb box three feet
long, two feet wide and fifteen
inches deep?
What is the superficial area Of
Madison street from State street to
the river?
How long would 1t take a gang
OF 200 men to shovel ten.inch snow.
fall off It? How much could the time
be increased?
IF hod Of brick be dropped from
the top Of building 200 feet high
with what velocity will II strike q
street sweeper in the alley?"
But the jobs that have been created
for intellectual giants are the ones
that take the cake.

TO REGULATE
PRIVATE BANKS

A meeting of fourteen members of

Among those in the conference were

Trandel, G. A. Dahlberg, Mr.. Lyle,
Mr.. Bippus, Emil A. fostering. Mr..
Thon, Mr.. Weber, o. T.. Benson Of
Ottawa and Frank Ryan.
Private bankers themselves must
support such a measure II It is to
pass, according to Frederick B. Roos,
who is a holdover member of the sen.
ate.
"The sound, conservative private
banker must cooperate with us to
remove the opposition of the down.
state private bankers II we are to
obtain legislation which will restore
the private banking business in ILL.,
nois, especially in Cook County, to
the confidence of the public" said
Senator Roos.
ut may be necessary to legislate
for the large cities, where conditions
differ from those in the country Sec

and influential. We must realize that
