or less than an aggregation Of men,

Or fall. A bank Is as good as the

conceded THAT our state laws, in en-
couraging state 7 banks, have done
much to promote the welfare Of the
country. The bank BY its process Of
gathering the funds Of the neighbor-

have added materially to the growth
of communities. In places where it
would seem there was no money,
banks have been established and have
prospered, and in prospering them

money and lending to local borrowers
can have but one result, and that is
beneficial.

STATE AUDITOR WOULD
NOT HAVE ASSESSORS

State Auditor Donahey will not de-
bate the question of whether tax as
SCISSORS should be appointed or elected.
He would do away with the assessors.
Members Of the special joint taxa
tion committee Of the general asem-
bly,, appointed to draft the new tax
law, Tuesday heard the novel plan Of
the State Auditor to have every tax
payer go in person to a township clerk
village clerk, or auditor, or to the vii
lage auditor and make his tax return
every year.
Not only would this save the tax
payers thousands Of dollars by doing
away with assessors salaries, DOnahey
says, but it would produce more cor
rect returns. At the end Of speci-
fed time, the complete List Of returns
should be published in one newspaper
of general circulation, and every per-
son who failed to make his return
should be subjected to a penalty Of
so per cent in the State Auditors opin-
ion.

4 AIsKS ON B MIXING
gTATE HANKS


There Is no material difference be-
tween state bank and q national
hank execnt III the one aspect, mem
toned in the last banking talk, namely
that state banks do not issue bank
notes. While the laws of some states
permit state banks To issue their own
bills, the National Banking Act inn
poses q tax Of ten per cent upon ali
such issues, thereby making them un-
profitable.
The National Banking Act provides,
that every national bank shall have
the word National" in its title, the
only exceptions being three banks, one
inNew York, one in Philadelphia and
one iii Pittsburg, which are allowed
To Ree their old name with the initials
m. B. al q National Banking Associ-
yation) in their titles. Therefore the
bank that does not have the word
National in its title is a state bank.
BY that toke nyou may distinguish
between the two.
State banks are more numerous
than national banks by nearly four
K 10 one; the reason being that in some
states smaller capital is allowed for
state institutions than for national
banks, in some places running as low
as ten thousand dollars.
State banks are under the jurisdic-
ton of the states, and most of the
states have department Of govern
ment called the Banking Depart
nnent,n as d rule and the official in
charge Superintendent Of Banks" !"
or Banking Commissioner, State Aud
tor" etc, who examines the banks uTl-
der his jurisdiction, ais a rule about
once year, but frequently more Of
ten, and to whom the banks reports
must be sent usually without notice as
called for; from two to four times q
year.
State banks do precisely the same
hind Of business as carried on by ma
tiOnal banks, namely, receiving depos-
It's, paying checks, discounting prom
iss0ry notes and making loans. State
banks everywhere are permitted to
lend on mortgage loan, q privilege de-
MED national banks, until the passage
" the Federal Reserve Act. Even yet
national banks in large cities cannot
make d mortgage loan. The state laws
are not uniform by any means and
vary as the lawmakers have deemed
wise. The main difference lies in the
supervision and not in the manner Of
conducting business. In fact, At you

Why We Should Have an Easter
Vacation,

Some time ago. it will be remem-
Gered (it is very vivid in our minds) !,
the high school had a half day SEES
sion Of school on Washington's Birth
day. The intention at. that time was
to ask for longer Easter vacation
Good Friday and probably the Mon
day after Easter. We were delighted
10 come to school and have our les
sons on Washington's Birthday, be-
lieving that later we would get one
or two days for this half day. Now,
however, the plans seem to have been
changed; we must come TO school on
Good Friday. Besides this great dis
appointment, we shall have to recite
for the Round Table.
We feel that short rest at this
time would be very desirable. We
oven take the liberty of presuming
that the teachers would not object
strenuously to a rest of day or two
There are many students from out of
town who will not be able to go home
for Easter, as they had planned, I'M
less vacation is given them. There
are some students in the high school
who have not been home since Christ
mas We know one student here from
pennsylvania who cannot so home
tor Easter if We do not get a vaca-
ton, as 1t would take her day to go
and day to come back. There are
many other cases like these.
Then we believe that many of the
teachers would like to so home for
Easter. But several OF them live out.
