Cumberland's Tire
Plant Deal Wabbles

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. lit
was stated officially here that Cum
berland could not accept the proposal
Of the Kelley.Springfield Tire Com
pany to locate rubber tire plant here
as outlined to the Cumberland Cham
ber Of Commerce committee and a
committee Of local bankers at the; Of
fices of R. P. Goldschmidt & Co.,
bankers, New York.
In substance. the proposal OF the
Kelley.Springfield people will be that
Cumberland build and equip the plant.
This would cost s1,5oo,000, sum In
excess OF the reserve OF the Cumber.
land banks by 100000: This would
close the banks and tie up the city
financially. 1t is thought the propo-
sition will be met by a counter prop
osition, and that the people here will
adhere to their original offer Of S25u,-
900 to secure the plant. Members Of
the committee state that should the
people agree to the demant Of the
Kelley.Sprtngfield people no guaran-
tee would be given that the plant
would Le keI in operation.

Uncle Sam Certainly
Does Insist on His IL Per Cent

This isn't brief for bankers, and it
isn't an attack on the government, but it
sometimes looks as if INK Sam is as big
a usurer as any money lender that ever led
the Comptroller of the Currency merry
chasel
Of course you can figure for yourself
how the stamp law, on small loan, will
amount to fifteen per cent, but maybe that's
not fair case.
But what are you going to say about
charging farmer one per cent month in
terest on a bill?
Yet that's just what the United States
Reclamation Service, Department of the
Interior, did. The water bill amounted to
$223.12, an obligation the farmer was UNI
able to meet because his crop had been
destroyed the year previous. When he
was ready to plant again, the Reclamation
Service absolutely refused to let him have
any water for irrigation, until he had come
across with that pound of flesh "plus l per
cent month interest since December 1,
1914"
Go easy on the bankers, Unkie Sam, or
have heart yourself!
