NO Kansas newspaper could con-

print paper is being sold to the metro
politan newspapers at less than 3
cents; that contracts for 1917 are be-
ing made at 8 cents or less. What we
want is to be able to buy our paper
proporionately as cheap The price

years and whose annual compensation

Not a word had been received this
afternoon by local officials of the

all Santa Fe employees receiving less

Much Uncertainty as to Out

London. Dec 5.-On the highest au-
thority it was made known this after
noon that David Lloyd George had re-
signed from the cabinet.
His resignation was drafted and sent
to Premier Asquith Immediately after
he received an intimation that Asquith
was unwilling to agree to the plan
for a war council of which the premier
would not be a member.
In announcing that Lloyd George
had decided to resign, the Exchange
Telegraph company added that formal
announcement of his severance of re-
lations with the cabinet would be an
nounced tomorrow.
To Reconstruct Ministry.
London, Dec. 5.="Eng1and's recon-
struction'' of her government, now in
process, must be taken as emphatic
reiteration of Britain's determination
to fight the war to a finish. In all
the maze of discussion of what sort of
reconstruction was being framed,
this fact stood out today.
The cabinet crisis was precipitated
by public demand-voiced by the
cabinet member admittedly closest to
the public, David Lloyd George-for
more vigorous conduct of the war; for
more compact organization to direct
England's energies against Prussian-
ism; for concentration of responsible
ity and power. 1t was conceded. today
that out of the "crisis'' would come
organization of a compact war council
probably of not more than five
members-to be given supreme con-
troll in the direction of England's war
energies.
Changes ProbIematc.
Whether this would mean a change
in the personnel of the cabinet or sim
ply resignation of certain members
of it to act as the new council was a
matter of speculation. London news
papers held the main difficulty.in the
way of settlement of the matter arose
thru Premier Asquith's feeling that,
as prime minister, he should be chair
man of the new war council.

All Deposit Records Broken,
BensOn's Report Shows.
Most of Big Gains Made in Ten
Week Period.
CROPS AND OIL RESPONSIBLE
Loans and Discounts Are Keep
ing Pace With Deposits.
Even Estimates of the Most OPP
timiStic Exceeded.

In the ten weeks period from June
80 to Septem ber 12. Kansas state and
national banks made the SenSauonai
jump of more than SO million dollars
in deposits, an increase of nearly four
million a week. A statement compiled
today in the office of w. F. Benson,
state bank commissioner, shows $780,
S11,977.04 for September II, as against
PSI million dollars for June. The
showing is an increase of nearly Is
per cent over any previous record of
Kansas banks. Records for the year
show an increase in deposits of nearly
20 million dollars.
With the smashing of deposit rec
ords, Kansas banks maintained their
earning capacity thru the heavy crop
selling period. The record as COM
piled today shows -oans and discounts
aggregating $214.63O, ,491.27, or nearly
rs per cent of the total deposits re-
turning an interests rate to the banks.
The overdraft showing of $915, ,977.54
is about one-third of 1 per cent of the
deposits. Total resources of $3.50, ,375,-
303.77 are shown in the report.
Ten Weeks Record.
During the period from June 80 to
September II, the 9S7 state banks in
creased their deposits more than 20
million dollars, while deposits in the
221 national banks of the state were
increased more than 19 million dol
lars. More than fifty per cent of the
years gain in deposits was made in the
ten weeks period. The state banks in
creased SO million dollars in deposits
during the year. while national banks
increased slightly more than thirty
million dollars.
A year ago predictions were made
that Kansas bank deposits would this
year pass the quarter billion dollar
mark. Such predictions caused many
wise bankers to smile. But this year
the deposits will most probably go con-
siderably above the 800 million mark.
November statements of national
banks have not been made public,
while a call will be made on state
banks for a report some time this
month.
Cause of Increases.
The heavy crop selling in the wheat
producing counties of the western half
of the state, followed by extensive oil
and mineral developments in the
southern and eastern counties of the
state, have added the million to Kan
sas bank deposits. Abnormal advances
in the prices of grain have meant
many millions of dollars to Kansas
farmers since the issuance of the Sep
tember bank report and final bank re-
ports for the year may show increases
as startling as those contained in the
September report.
Under the report issued today state
banks are shown to have held $685.
619,97704 at the close of business
September IL. The national bank re-
shows $125,192,000 in deposits. Loans
and discounts of state banks are given
at $130,744,491.27 while national
banks reported $S3,8S6, 900.
