Substituting the Poet.

We seem to be as much at sea In
this matter as they were about 100
A. D., when the critic cursed the town
for keeping alive so many poets and
cursed it again for starving so many
of them; wanted to know how a man
could behold the horses of the chariot
of the sun if he had to grub for a
living and wanted to drive most poets
back to grubbing for a living as soon
as he observed their manner of be-
holding the horses of the chariot of
the sun said you ought to fatten poets
to make them sing, and became VIC
lently angry the moment a fat poet be-
gan singing; blamed a rich man for
feeding a pet lion instead of subsi-
dizing some author at much less ex-
pense, and was all for feeding the au-
thor to the lion on reading what he
wrote He wanted authors protected,
but the literary choices made by the
protector almost drove him mad.-NeW

According to dispatches. the Seattle banks are in deep trouble. At least for the time being. For all concerned, it is hoped that the trouble will soon be over and will have left no disfigure- ment of the financial situation boasted of by certain class of people of that city, but which evidently met another class which differed widely and brought on the run on the banks.
 To most of us, the run on the banks of Seattle is a puzzler because being at quite a distance from Seattle we have heard nothing that could in anywise indicate the shadow that must have been hanging over the financial situation in the Spirit City On the contrary, we have been an- moved by the repeated reports that Seattle was more prosperous since it went dry than ever be- fore in the history of the city. Credulously in- c,ined due to our optimistic tendency to believe the best in everything we took those reports and accepted them with all sincerity and believed their accuracy. But what shock; what pug zler the news give us! And we wonder.
 Glancing over the situation in an endeavor to discover the cause or causes of the panic. we come across what appears to be the most logical deduction and give Us an inside view of the work ing forces that led to the run on the banks.
 Up to a year ago. Seattle had been the most prosperous city in the entire United States talk ing her geographical situation, environment and resources into consideration. Up to that lime every property owner could-and did generally borrow from the banks at least seventy-fve per cent of the value of their property From the appraised value of the property, the banks were justified to make the loans. Money was just simply flowing in every direction. Everybody was prosperous Everybody's property was worth something. A year ago the lid was put on despite the efforts of the big interests to the contrary. For whole year, graft. gambling and bootlegging was carried on. The drys hav- ing the axe. yielded it right and left with telling effect. The vets, bent on defeating the drys, schemed worked and fought hard. creating fac tions. They had the high officials of the city indicted to create doubt in the minds of the drys that things were not what they represented them to be. Suspicion being aroused, those who
The daily progressive-miner., 1917-02-01

had saved little, apprehending further dishonest deeds. preferred to have their money in their pockets than risk it with the banks who were ever ready to boast of prosperous conditions since the lid was put On This suspicion was soon spread broadcast The vets taking advantage of the unsettled conditions began to withdraw their money fro mthe banks. The stampede was on. The drys followed.
 Notwithstanding the oft repeated reports that Seattle was prosperous, we are all aware ot the fact that property has depreciated the last year nearly fifty per cent. In some instances as much as eighty per cent. Whether this de- preciation was justified, does not enter into the present trouble Suffice it to know that property owners cannot borrow anymore money from the banks Rents do not pay interest on the money borrowed The banks holding mortgages can- not realize due to the depreciation in the values of the property since the loans were made there fore, have been hanging onto the mortgages. While they may be solvent; that is to say, while they may have sufficient property to secure the depositors, they haven't the ready money. The vets realizing the banks predcament, are play ing their hands for all they are worth. Which may result disastrously or may not. However, it is one way of beating the devil around the stump.
