Saving Bank Useful

The savings bank is an institution
for the encouragement of thrift
among the people In the laws which
provide for the establishment of these
institutions account is taken of two
primary facts: (1) That that country
is in the best position whose people
habitually lay aside a part of their
earnings to the end that the POSSIBLE
ity of poverty may be minimized and
Independence in old age may be as
sured (2) That the surplus earn
ings of the people may be gathered
into sums available for effective use
as capital and so the industrial and
other commercial activities of the
country may be promoted and ex-
banded.
Savings banks, even more than
commercial banks, are institutions for
the gathering and loaning of capital.
The bank could not pay interest on
its deposits unless it has also a
means of earning the money with
which to make such payments. The
funds collected by savings banks,
paid in small amounts, are custonar-
ily invested in securities of a prefer
red kind and the possibility of loss
is reduced TO the lowest minimum
possible. An individual could make
such investments if he sad the means,
and individuals, of course, do make
such investments. But the purchase
of a $1,000 bond is a matter that
cannot easily be negotiated by a
wage Garner, and the savings bank
is the fundamentally through which
the small contributions of the people
are made easily available for the pur-
chase of such securities. Out of the
profits from these investments the
savings banks pay interest to deposit
ors and the expenses of the banks
administration.
The laws of the several states
guard the deposits Of those who make
use of savings banks. with great care.
In many states the kind and charac-
ter of the securities in which these
banks may invest their funds are de-
fined and their purchase is subject to
the supervision of the state banking
authorities. The books Of the banks
are examined at frequent intervals
and the operations of the banks
managers are narrowly watched.
The law also recognizes the fact
that the margin of profit to the
banks out of these investments is
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1917-03-07

very small and that it is therefore
necessary that they keep all their
funds invested in earning assets. Saw
ings banks do not habitually carry
large amounts of cash, and it is for
this reason that the law privileges
them to exact from their depositors
thirty days or more notice of an in
tention to withdraw deposits. How
ever, on well-managed bank ever has
recourse to this notice except in
times of national distress or peril.
No scheme for the gathering of
capital or the safeguarding of the
surplus, earrings of the people has
been so well devised as that of the
savings bank. 1t has stood the test of
100 years of satisfactory operation,
and today the savings banks of the
country are more numerous and
stronger than ever. No one makes a
mistake of selecting a well-managed
savings bank as the custodian of his
money.

THE LIBERTY LOAN PRIMER.
The Comparative War Burden.

German propagandists in America
have tried strenuously and with some
measure OF success to Undue the pun
lie With the idea that We are simply
finishing the other fellow S light. mat
America should have kept out OF this
onarreI And that we will pay u on
all for our participation IN
the war.
None of these claims are true.
The State Department at

when she was protesting Z "arLIee1

generally to make it so unpleasant LOT
us at home that we would not dare re-
! sent any outrage she might attempt
upon our national rights and honor.
And the President has explained
| very plainly, directly and convlnclngIy
why he finally put aside all his imme-
date hopes of peaca and went into the
conflict.
The people of the allied European
nations this year will contribute SIo,-
600, OOO, zoe to the support OF the war.
The American public is asked to pro-
vide $50. 600, 600, 900. On tn eface of 1t
this appears to bear out the German
claim. Ef
But this represents for America not
only the expense of supporting an
army of 1000, 900 in the field but the
initial expense of raising and equip
ming that army
Moreover, in America 101,OOO,OOO
people have an annual income of S4O,-
600, 900, 900. The annual income OF
the 4O6 100000 people of the allied
European nations is only $4,000, 0O0,-
900. gssE44A
Where the per capita income. the
individual income for every man, wo-
man and child in the United States, is
1887, that in England, Russia, France
and Italy combined averages less
than SIS.
The individual financial burden In
Europe is about four times what it
will be in America. The hardship is
UNNECESSARILY greater.
Nor will all of this $50, 900 900
come from our annual income. Our
savings account will supply most of it
