What It Costs Cook County to

Oscar Il. Hewitt writes as follows
in the Chicago Herald Of September
10: t.e
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 pr.
marles 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 $2,261,300. 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:

TO REGULATE

A meeting Of fourteen members of

Private bankers themselves must
support such measure II It Is to
pass, according to Frederick b. Roos,
who Is 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 IL 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 legslate
for the large cities, where conditions
differ from those in the country Sec
tons. This opposition is powerful
and influential. We must realize that
when we begin to enact private bank
ing legislation we are picking at the
backbone of the business of the state.
Il recommend that we take this
matter up with the private bankers
association, ask its help and get it to
cooperate in its own iterest."
