cling Will give the bank one of the
most luxurious homes in the CITY.
The building Waf constructed in
1872 by James Gillette, and was at
the time considered one of the best
edifices in the city. Altho it has
since been eclipsed in point of height.
1t remains a thoroly modern, fire
proof structure. Foundations probably
will allow for the addition of more
stories if the bank sees fit to heighten
the building.
The frontage of the bank will be
fifty feet. The depth of the building
is one hundred feet The basement
will be used for safety deposit vaults.
That the new quarters will be the
permanent established home of the
Planters National was the statement
of bank officials yesterday. The re-
moVal of the institution is the result
OF the rapid growth made by the bank
during the past year or more. 1t is
only matter of two years since the
institution moved to its present To-
cation on Second street, into quarters
which are now entirely inadequate.
The action of the Planters National
in moving its permanent home to the
Third and Boston district accentu-
ates the shifting of financial circles
farther south and especially around
Third and Boston. The original
bank corner" at Second and Main
will soon be broken up, only one in
stitution out of four not having ar
ranged for another location. w. A.
Reynolds negotiated the sale of the
property.

LACK OF COOPERATION.

The lengthy debate on the food con-
troll bill has served to show the con-
fusion, the Inconsistency and the alb
surdity OF war legislation which Is
drawn without sufficient attention to
the supreme necessity OF co-Ordinating
all the powers and activities Of the
government to the end OF securing
the widest possible efficiency and
economy, not alone of money, but OF
effort. The council Of defense has
the right to negotiate purchases, agree
upon prices and do everything except
the one essential thing OF validating
n contract. Everything must have the
o. k. of some cabinet member. and
these are squabbling among them
selves The Weeks Madden resolu-
tlon proposed Joint congressional
committee on the conduct OF the war.
but congress hesitates for fear there
will be opposition from the admins
tratlon to delegatlng its burdens to
an elective body
Such committee must ultimately
be established. either as proposed or
10 take cognizance Of INCIDENTS which
are bound to arise thru the expendi-
ture Of billions of dollars which are
loosely appropriated and may he more
loosely expended There is no partl-
sanship In such n proposition, no dis
position to criticise the president or
hamper his plans, but it is expected
that such n committee would contain
n majority OF Democrats from both
branches of its membership thru
whom should be secured the fullest
CO. cooperation OF bota parties in car
rying out the plans for winning the
war. 1t could also be reasonably ex-
pected to gain efficiency by elminat-
ing the disgusting cross-purposes evil
denced by the present arrangement.
Republicans in congress have already
given emphatic proof of their readi-
ness to cooperate with the admins
tration and to share I'm the RESPONSE
bility for whatever may be proposed
or done. Instead of holding suspi-
ciously aloof the administration
should meet these advances in like
spirit and welcome the assistance Of
a Joint congressional committee.

BUG UNDER TIE CHIP.

Those who have all along been dis
posed to distrust the motives OF the
present Mexican government have no
trouble now in seeing an Interior pur-
pose In the rumored announcement
that Mexico was contemplating align
Ing itself against Germany. The ad-
ministration at Washington seems to
lack u whole lot of being gratified at
the proposal, tho on the surface II
would look like something to rejoice
over. We have really felt all along
that the entire American continent
should be Of one purpose in this strug-
gle, but there are complications in
our relations with Mexico, some of
by the public, which would make
MeXico's participation In this war
more of an embarrassment than a
help. This is evidently the view OF
the United States government, and il
is not hard for the citizen to see the
reasons therefor.
To begin with. it has been made
quite apparent that Carranza means
to curry favor with Uncle Sam so as
to hit him for generous loan. To
break with the German influences
which have held sway in that country
and caused uneasiness here would
have the effect of putting Il to some
extent under obligations that would
make 1t hard to properly settle other
matters pending What we would
like is n genuine neutrality from Car
ranza's government, rather than alli-
ance with a string to IT, with Mex
leo posing as one Of the allies many
real grievances held by other allied
nations against the late paradise Of
the revolutionist would be difficult Of
settlement. Mexico richly deserves TO
be brought to an accounting for many
and grievous sins. but who could be
severe on a comrade fighting in the
ranks by our side? Carranza may
have been astute enough to see all
this; at any rate, he has his mouth
fixed to ask for a share Of the money
being loaned to enemies Of Germany.

According to the statement of Off
