EXORBITANT INTEREST RATES.

The report of the comptroller of the currency contains
feature that will surprise many people, particularly
in the eastern sections of the country The comptroller
speak of the large reduction secured in the number of
banks scagng high interest rates. In spite of this de-
the comptroller still finds 1913 banks in Oklahoma
charging than 10 per cent average and large
numbers also in other states that charge high rates.
1t is wonder that food costs high when the charge
against farm projects heavy 1t is very serious
question whether it will pay any bank to try to bust
ness on this basis.
The banks of course will say that they encounter many
losses and they have to charge high rate in order to
make up But the heavy tax must tend to make borrow
slow pay and delay their purchase of such tools
they need 1t must tend to discourage borrowers, and
hinder expansion of any section where such rates prevail
high interest rate for the time being makes bank
more profitable. But the banking business depends on
sound conditions prevailing in the industries of the
munity When industries have to pay 10 per cent
for borrowed capital their condition precarious.
This condition must react on the people who provide
the capital Of the farm land banks devised
to handle this situation But still the old line banks and
mortgage companies will no doubt for many years loan
larger shares of the farm capital They should feel their
prosperity depends placing the industry an econ

HAMPTON ROADS ENTRANCE
GUARDED BY BIG STEEL NET

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 18.-A warn
ing to mariners that big steel net
such as Great Britain has used as a
guard against submarines is being
placed in position at the entrance of
Hampton Roads was issued today by
Rear Admiral Mclean, commandant
of the Norfolk navy yard. About
half of the work has been completed
Details of the navy's plans for
closing the roads against the entran-
ce of underwater boats have not been
revealed, but it is believed that when
complete the net will entirely block
the channel. A destroyer or naval
tug will be on duty there constantly,
1t is understood, to swing a portion
of the barrier aside for the passage
of vessels.
The nets position is indicated by
a line of buoys, on which searchlig-
hts will be placed during darkness.
In his warning today Admiral Nc
Lean instructed the masters and pi-
lots of merchant craft not to appro-
ach the buoys without first signaling
the destroyer or tug on duty and ask
ing for orders.

ONE REASON FOR THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING

The cost of living is high, mainly
because men of means and large af-
fairs are not, as a rule, concerned
about it. The portion of their in.
come that is paid out for food is
not important to them. Whether
the cost of food be high or low, the
difference to them is not important.
They may growl a little at the end
of the month at an increased pro-
vision bill, but neither themselves
nor their families are in any way dis
turbed by the price. They are never
obliged to lessen the amount or quail
ty of the food because of its high
price. Hence their indifference in
the matter.
Those men who initiate economic
reform and exert influence on legis-
lation and on business generally, de-
vote their energies to enterprises that
affect their own business interests
and their gross income. Some of
them sympathize in a humanitarian
way with the high cost of living and
their dependent workmen. or the
poor generally. but they have no time
to overcome the entrenched opposi-
ton of the present system and to,
|, work economic reforms for the bene-
fit of the world generally.-From
1.-THE High Cost of Food-Causes
and Remedies" by John d. Dillon,

WORLD MOVEMENT TO SET
CLOCK FORWARD Is BEGINNING

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion is an argument for longer
daylight day by writer who points
out that for eight years the question
of setting the clock forward has been
agitated in England and that the
change was adopted last summer by
France, Germany, Italy, Holland,
Denmark. Norway and Sweden. 1t
is being recommended throughout
the world and several American cit
les, including Cleveland and Detroit,
have either already adopted the plan
or are working TO put IL into opera
ton. The advantages OF setting the
clock forward are primarily to able
the people to live their lives more
by daylight and less by artificial
light thereby gaining the attendant
benefits OF better health, eyesight
and facilities for pleasure, as well
as the economy OF a decreased use
OF coal, gas and electricity.

Little Politics Forces Out Big Man
Why Baker Resigned.


Washington, Feb. 17.-Bernard N.
Baker, Of Baltimore, has resigned
from the shipping board. Who is
Bernard N. Baker? Well. here are
few of the things he has done:
When the United States found her
self without ships with which to
transport troops at the outbreak of
the Spanish-American war, it was
Mr.. Baker, as president of the At
lantic Transport Line, which he
founded, who offered President Nc
Kinley practically his entire fleet of
ships. When the Boer war was on,
1t was Mr.. Baker who placed in SER
vice the hospital ship, Maine" on
which sick and dying soldiers were
transported to their motherland.
When, at the close of the war, on
account of the great humanitarian
service the Maine" had rendered.
the British admiralty asked him If
they could not borrow" the vessel
a little while longer, Mr.. Baker, at
his own expense, made Great Britain
a present of the ship. fully equipped.
When the historic Denmark"
sprung a leak in mid-ocean. it was
the Missouri" one of Mr.. Bakers
ships, that speeded to her assistance
and every soul aboard was saved
nearly thousand persons. The law
of sea-salvage imposes a golden for
tune for such service. But Mr..
Baker would not have a single cent
for what his ship did.
For the last two or three years,
Mr.. Baker has given his time to the
establishment OF an American mer-
chant marine. 1t was his efforts,
more than any other one thing, that
established the shipping board, Sec
rotary McAdoo and the president
sought his counsel as the greatest
known American expert in maritime
subjects.
Mr. Baker is sixty-three years old.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-02-20

He has given up active business az
fairs and could have retired at his
ease, but in the shipping board, he
saw an opportunity to realize his
life's ambition to see America take
her place on the high seas. He Or
ganlzed the work of the board. made
its estimates, outlined its policies,
worked cheerfully with the Republic
cans and Democrats alike, for he
knew no politics. Then
Politics made it necessary in the
eyes of the administration that the
chairman of the board should be
man fran the Pacific coast. Cali
fornia must be recognized. So, Mr..
william Denman, very estimable
gentleman of ability, was appointed
and Mr., Baker was shunted aside.
1t has been over a week since Mr..
Baker resigned and to all the news
paper men, public officials and others
who have importuned him. not n
WORD has been spoken against the
administration. He has said that he
wants to see the shipping board sue
ceed. He Is even willing to help it.
This is the story of how a great
man was lightly pushed aside that
politics might be played. However,
IL Is only one instance, but perhaps
the most striking, of the way the adj
ministration has played politics In
some of the most serious affairs thai
America has had before it.

THE FIRST STEP IN
HEALTH PROTECTION

In previous talks we have counted
the tremendous loss to the people of
Utah from preventable sickness and
death. We also demonstrate that
the cost of health protection is COM
paratively small. The question nat
urally arises: What can we do about
It?
The first requirement is knowl-
edge. Ignorance and high rate of
sickness and death go hand in hand.
If it were not for their very high
birth rate, the savage races would
have long ago disappeared from the
face of the earth. At the present
time the United States government
is maintaining a strict quarantine on
the Mexican border to protect this
country from typhus fever and other
diseases prevalent in ignorance
blighted Mexico.
knowledge is power" 1t is also
safety and good health and prosperi-
ty and happiness. We know how the
ravages of smallpox may be checked
and, as the result, We no longer live
in constant fear of a smallpox cpl
demic. A smaller knowledge of the
causes of, and means of protection
against other diseases would add
many years to our lives and prevent
much pain and sorrow.
The first step. therefore. is educa-
ton as to the causes of diseases,
the means by which they spread, the
methods of their prevention, and the
proper care Of those who are sick.
The necessary agencies for this edu-
cation already exist. They are the
State Board of Health, city and coun-
ty health departments, various socie-
ties for public health, physicians.
public nurses, the press. the school,
churches, clubs, etc. Literature and
advice on almost any health subject
can be obtained without charge.
The second requirement is i'm
proved living conditions. The best
health protection is a strong consti-
tuition and natural living. Disease
germs Turk in ambush all about us.
waiting to lay us low whenever they
can take us at disadvantage. Whole
some food. pure water, regular hab-
it's, avoidance of dissipation, fresh
air and sunshine fortify the system
against their attacks. Ally yourself
with nature, study her laws and obey
them and you have little to fear.
As our knowledge grows, we nat
urally demand and secure improved
conditions OF life. The great essen
tials, therefore, is education. Your
own knowledge may not save you
from the consequences of your neigh
boris ignorance. Your own safety
lies in the health education of all the
people. You, by your example as well
as by your words, may be teacher
to your community.

STEALING AUTOMOBILES.

Stealing automobiles has become very popular form
of thevery The thieves becoming very expert at the
game. In Los Angeles county, California the stolen ma
chimes aggregate $15000O to 100000 in value year
All over the country increase in this form of crime is
reported
