BORROWERS
 STATEMENTS
The Advantage to Both Bor- rover and Lender of Ger tification of the Formers S Statements by a Compe- tent Authority.

1 The following is an article by C. r
 Lee. public accountant of this city in
 the Coast Banker of January l9. The subject of having a financial statement made by borrower verified by some reputable accountant, for the | ducement for other extension of credit
 has been so much discussed of late that
 1 can only repeat some of the argu-
 ments in favor of such procedure that
 have been presented through the fi- nancial press of the country generally l In an address before the American Association of Public Accountants
 held in the City of Chicago in Septem-
 ber 1912. David R. F'organ. president
 of the National City Bank of Chicago
 said:
 Tn bank managed by experienced men, almost all the losses are due to
 one cause-namely, incorrect state
 ments either innocently or wickedly
 made by the borrower Any banker of
 average intelligence can tell good statement for bad One-provided it is | a true statement. But there's the rub
 Is 1t true statement? In many cases
 the revelations coming after bankrup- cy prove that the statements recently
 submitted as a basis for credit were | so far from true that they must have 1 been deliberately made to deceive the banker. l say this after making full allowance for change of conditions and 1 point of view. This does not prove { hny tI..
 as general rule. So long as business i is prosperous, there is no need for in correct statements. Experience, how ever proves that few men sQuarely l face the facts when their business drifts into trouble, and still fewer have 1 the courage to reveal the truth to their banker. The result is that between deception and moral cowardice the banker is deceived into making loans which entail loss, and which he never would have made had he known the facts
 The conditions exist today as did in 1912. True, there are larger num- Der of concerns that employ reputable accountants to verify the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement each year CT oftener than there were in 1912 This is very encouraging indeed; but
 the number of concerns which require
 certificate from public accountant
 as to the correctness of their financial statements, submitted for the purpose of making a loan or receiving credit is
 very small in comparison to the num- Der of concerns requiring credit to carry on their business
 One of the factors that is most con- monly overlooked in making up a fin ancial statement for the purpose of re- ceiving credit is making no allowances for bad accounts. Oftentimes drawing

WIRELESS USED BY
 GOODYEAR CONTAIN

Tires and wireless teleSraphy-th two would not be suspected of associ- ation, yet sending wireless messages long ago ceased to be a luxury with the Goodyear Tire X Rubber Co. of Akron, O. Wireless plays d large part in the company's business.
 About three years ago the company conceived the idea of using wireless to save time in communicating with its office in Detroit where millions of tires are sold each year. The ac- ceptance of large orders sometimes swings upon the pivot of saving few minutes in acquaintng the Akron fac tory with the detailed facts and con ditions The saving that the wireless has many times effected has been in- calculable, and has long since vindi- cated it's use.
 Among corporations Goodyear was the pioneer in installing wireless sta tion, just as she has pioneered many of the tire features which have brought tires to their present day effiency Other concerns, noting the success of

If there is one tendency more than any other that is featuring this years automobile shows. it is the fact that the shows are proving occasions for heavy buying fo cars The importance of this is more fully realized when it is recalled that in past years the big crowds Hooking to automobile exhibits came more cut of curiosity than a de- sire 10 place orders
 The tendency to buy heavily at show times is taken as bearing out predic- tions made to the effect that there may hc shortage in cars this year in view of tho heavy demand. It is ominous also because of the fact that the un- precedented demand at this season

foretells q record year for the automO- bile industry.
 Among the manufacturers that are preparing for the heavy business is the Studebaker corporation, whose factor ies are working full force to take care of orders for the new series II cars The biggest problem now, according to Studebaker officials, is to turn out cars fast enough As an indication of the policy of preparedness, an output of 100000 cars is planned for 1916, based upon the outlook as reported by deal CTS.
 The hitherto unequalled demand for cars expressed at the New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and other shows is heinz duplicated in the middle west. New records in volume of orders have been set at the Chicago exhibit, prov ing that heavy buying at show times is not confined to any one section of the country but is universal.

Ia undry soap at profit; with the ulti- mate result that the factory went broke.
 Men of this character need expert ad : vice in pointing out the weak spots of their way in handling figures. and should be shown that the only way to succeed is to look in the back of the arithmetic for the correct answer before it is put down.
 Audited and verified statements made by reputable accountants should al ways be required by the bankers and other credit men before the loan is made or the credit extended.
 All of the assets and liabilities should be thoroughly analysed, and the banker CT credit man should keep a compara- tive record of each years financial statement. The accounts should be segregated to show past due or draw ing accounts separately which were included under such head. The ac- countant should also satisfy himself that proper provision had been made for replacements of fixed property, or replacements of fixtures and deprecia- ton of merchandise. Sometimes the branch is carried on the books at the actual cost to the concern. In this case Q separate analysis of it's conditions should be ascertained and put in the statement at it's actual worth.
 The profit and loss account should also be thouroughly analysed each year. and record made of the same by the banker or credit man for compara- tive purposes. If such record is kept any unusual changes in any of the ac- counts could be noted, and explanations secured on same.
 The Truth will help the man look ing for credit as well as the banker or credit man dispensing such credit.

CHARLEsTON's REQUEST.

Charleston is working for navy yard,
and appeals to Pensacola to assist her in
securing the necessary appropriation
The unreasoning may think at first that
Pensacola is being asked to sacrifice her
self for the benefit of another city, but such
indeed is not the case.
Pensacola is not in the running at all for
a navy yard, Pensacola is natural aero
plane base, made so by its mild climate, in
comparable bay and ideal location.
The navy people themselves recognize
this, and are very rightfully averse to mix
ing the two arms of the service.
We may, therefore, examine the Charles
ton request with patriotic motives alone
and the only thing for us to consider is
whether small navy yard at Charleston is
worth while. If the navy tacticians ap-
prove the Charleston plan, we might well
give Charleston what political support we
can. If the navy tacticians do not approve
it, the entire proposition reduces itself to
a pork-barrel raid, which it is our duty as
Americans to prevent
But whether we assist the Charleston
plan or not, we can prove by disinterested
consideration of the proposition Our pa
triotic motives, which will have weight in
the future when the development of Our.
aeronautlc station is urged.

GOOD ROADS COST NO MORE.

1t takes about three times the amount
of gasoline to run an auto to Barrancas
as it did two months ago-so fearful IS
the condition of the road.
And yet the road foundation is good; the
material itself is firm; with intelligent di-
rection, and continuous care, the road
should be as good today as it was before
the storm.
Had the road been dragged properly;
had its drainage been right; had its
crown been given the correct pitch; had it
been kept in shape by the split log drag, we
would have a splendid highway today, in
stead of a series of holes and bumps and
gullies and pudd1es, without the expendi-
ture of dollar more!
1t is not necessary to say that our roads
are so bad because the county commission
erS don't know anything about road build
ing. They know they don't as we'll as you
do-for road building is a speciality; it is
a science, and most exacting science.
The county commissioners have done
we'll to provide for a road engineer; but
they will not be doing their duty to the peo-
pie unless they are sure that the man they
hire is a real expert, one who has had
years of road building experience-for only
to such man should be entrusted the PEG
pies money

HOW ABOUT 1T, JAx?

Both Jacksonville papers have protested
so earnestly their love for West Florida
that the omission of the Pensacola naval
stores market from the columns of the Me-
tropolis and Times-Union pal axes some
what the nature of a mystery.
The three largest naval stores markets
in the world are Jacksonville, Savannah and
Pensacola. Two of these world markets are
in Florida fact which Jacksonville
journalism ignores for it gives only the
Jacksonville and Savannah quotations.
Now the quotations of yesterday, August
S, 1916, show the following. TURPEN-
TINE: Stocks in Pensacola amounted to
22,772 casks; in Savannah, 1888. Re-
ceipts: Pensacola, 1877; Savannah, 1890:
shipments, Pensacola, 1898; Savannah, 1877.
ROSIN: Stocks, Pensacola, 1854 bar
rels; Savannah, 1851. Receipts, Pensa-
cola, 1,797; Savannah, 1890 Shipments,
Pensacola, $50; Savannah, 5,972.
Now that we have mentioned the fact.
we have no doubt but that the Metropolis
and Times-Union will henceforth quote our
market-if only to be consistent, for they
have evinced such keen interest in the
struggles of West Florida and its Chamber
of Commerce towards that commercial de-
velopment which we understand the east
coast has already attained; but we would
feel easier in our minds if we only knew
why Pensacola has been left out in the cold
so farl
How about it, Jax? Surely there must
be some reason for featuring an outside
market with smaller stocks than one in
your own state. Is it because distance lends
enchantment? Or is it because you simply
overlooked piece of news?

For the love of Mike, will somebody
please tell US just what is the posi-
ton of the disturbing element in the
Democratic party?
One thing is true, either Mr.. Cats
received the larger number of votes
in the June primary or Mr.. Knott
did.
If Mr.. Cats received the larger
number of votes, why is he object
ing to a recount that will show that
fact, ard clear his title to the nom
nation? If, as he claims, Mr.. Knott
did not receive the larger number of
votes in that primary, why is lie rot
eager to have that fact made GEAR?
AS the matter stands now, no man
ia the staet really knows which Of the
tw1 received the nomination, lawfully.
Is the claim of the DIRECTORS to law
full inquiry into the facts, that if Mr..
Cats did not receive the larger num-
Der he should still be considered the
nominee of the Democratic party?

jority is what prevails in the present
system?
Senator N. P. Bryan needs to tour
the state and act as tutor for the in
spectors and clerks, without compen-
sation. He claims it to be so simple
and less expensive for candidates, did
the people decide to save him ex-
pense of again canvassing the state Z?
Or did they want a man that was am
billions and wanted to make a step to
the highest office within the gift of
the people? A park is thought of with
much pleasure by many land also
brings sad thoughts to others), these
hot days resting in the shade is
pleasant for many, but sad for few
that they were left in the shade not
in the park, but by Park TrammeIl. A
pleasant smile wins votes, as was
shown in the last primary, with 81
smile and promise the votes were won.
The clerks and inspectors integrity
is not questioned in the senatorial
contest, the voters expression will
stand, we have not heard of charges
that ballots were changed since can
vassed by county canvassing board
and why? Is it because the odds
were against a particular favorite?

YOU'VE A SECOND GUESS, MR.. MAN.

Mr.. Man, we notice you work hard all
day long, also that you don't give UP your
seat in the street car to the girl or woman
who, like yourself, has worked the whole
day through
We know your line of reasoning IF
women will insist on entering store, office
and factory in equal competition with you,
they must expect to pay the penalty as we'll
as reap the advantage of equality. But
you are wrong, Mr.. Man. You have thought
part of the way, but not the whole way.
1t used to be said the home was woman's
only true sphere. That it is still her special
sphere is shown by the fact she can't escape
1t. Her woman's nature won't permit her to-
And so, Mr.. Man, when the end of the
day comes, stop and consider whether the
workday of the woman worker also has
come to an end. Stop and consider whether
there doesn't remain for her some task of
her special sphere, some portion of the work
of the home.
If the working girl lives with her parents,
depend on it she intends to help mother get
supper and wash the dishes, and there's
that bit of ironing that, with the canning
season on, mother simply couldn't get done.
1t the working woman is married-ar1 !
increasingly married women are finding a
place in the world of employment-she ex-
poets to get supper single-handed, and then,
while husband washes the dishes, do all
those odds and ends of household work she
was unable to finish up before she hurried
to work in the morning.
Even if the working woman lives in a
boarding house, the chances are that in or
der to be assured clean room she has her
self undertaken its care. And, then, con-
s1der that the economy which women's
wages have imposed upon them has con-
verified the boarding house bathroom into a
laundry.
You have decided woman is competing
with you on an equality Think it over
again. Mr. Man. u.-..

In speaking of the attempt of the
organization to get appropriation for
carrying on the work, J. B. Perkins

county board Allied to make appro-
priation, the matter was taken up
with the school board, under whose
jurisdiction the county board claimed
the money should be expended. Off

kins that under the present budget
it would be impossible for them to
make the expenditures.
With this state, of affairs the Crop
