Editor of The Journal:
Seeing so much talk about what
can and should be done to attract peo-
pie from other points to locate here,
invest for houses, etc, makes me
wonder if in these efforts people don't
lose sight of what could and ought to
be done to help and encourage people
already here.
To my notion, a whole lot could be
done; for instance, if the interest on
money taxes and insurance rates were
reduced to a more normal rate people
would be more inclined to buy houses
in which to live and a whole lot OF
the unsightly, insanitary little huts
could be replaced by neat little cot-
tages owned by our working men.
think that encouraging the masses
to own homes, beautify them, etc,
makes better communities, better
cities and better states, but no man
of ordinary income can do much at
eight per cent for money, necessity OF
renewing with brokerage cost every
year, insurance rates higher than in
most other states.
It seems if some Of our influential
men were really anxious at heart to
do something for the good of the
community and state, they could do a
wonderful good by investigating and
/ adjusting these rates.
The writer knows of one thrifty,
good, Woodworking man and wife who
came to Pensacola, bought small
farm and after three years Of
hard work improving and cultivating,
sold out at loss, went back to New
York, because they could not hold out
at these rates.
Lots of men, working far families,
would buy an acre or two near the
city, build little homes, and help by
cultivating the ground to support the
family.
Unless he feels he can hold out and
get some encouragement with just a
| few hundred to start p-sh, the danger
of being told the title is wrong or
foreclosure threatens on account Of
not being able to hold out, he won't
even try.
Just little food for thought if not
a suggestion; would be 9f>ss 20 have
your paper pass it on.

a total of 1856 orphaned, abandoned, af-

of Florida, and from outside states as we'll,

and some people don't think it is part
of the state at all. Reproductions
of the map made by east coast hotel
men, developers, ETC., are made with
out this West Florida splash, even.
1t is cut out before the cut is made,
and consequently the people think

Food Administrator Herbert c.
Hoover declares that corn meal, even
at the present unprecedented high
price, according to a comparative
test of food values which was pre-
pared by the Food administration,
continues the cheapest food found
in a survey of fifty staples.
There is twice as much nutritive
value in a dollars worth of corn
meal, even at the prevailing high
prices, as in dollars worth of
wheat bread. The actual figures
show that Ala cents worth of corn
meal now equals one dollars worth
of wheat bread in actual nutritive
value.

Those in charge of the Liberty
Loan drive in Nenana are to be con-
graduated upon the splendid show
ing made. And so are those to be
congratulated who invested their
savings in the bonds. Considering
the fact that our town is little more
than a year old and dependent en-
tirely at present upon the money
distributed by the government in
wages, the showing is good one,
indicating thrift as well as loyalty
to the Stars and Stripes. 1t is very
doubtful if many towns the size of
Nenana can be found in the States
where there is more abundant evil

The comptroller of the currency
is strongly urging congress to amend
the National Bank act SO as to re-
quire officers, tellers or other en-
ployees Of the banks, having the
custody Of funds, money or securities
to furnish bonds, preferably the
bonds of an established company.
One wonders why this procedure was
not taken years ago. In glancing
over the records of the department
of justice for scores of years back,
and especially for the past two
years, evidence may be found giving
strong emphasis to the Importance
of the above recommendation. We
cite here the records showing, that
in the years ending October 81,
1915 and 1916, five bank presi-
dents, 25 cashiers and 81 assistant
cashiers, tellers, bookkeepers and
other officers and employees of Ma
tional banks were convicted of vio-
lations of the National Bank act,
and generally sentenced to varying
terms of Imprisonment from five to
thirteen years.
This is but very small percent
age of the total number of men,
employed in all capacities in the
1865 national banks of the United
States. And it is further true that
there is no profession in which there
have not been some who have be-
trayed their trust.
