Howard County's Liberty Loan Quota.

| - .- a.
Howard county will be called on to
buy 1915. 900 worth of the new Liberty
Bonds, according t. word just received
from John A. Cavanagh. vice-presi-
dent of the Des Moines National Bank
and chairman of the Quota Committee
for Iowa in the third Liberty Bond
drive, shortly to be begun. Instead of
apportioning the amount to the vari-
GUS counties in Iowa according to their
population, Mr.. Cavanagh has appor-
toned the amount to this county, and
to all the other SO counties, according
to banking resources. This is consid-
cred much more fair and satisfactory.
The exp orience derived from the first
two drives will be utilized to good ad-
vantage in Iowa in the third Liberty
Bond drive. Mr.. Cavanagh contended
that population was not the right basis
on which to apportion quotas, for pros
perity does not always or necessarily
keep pace with population. He argued
that it would be much fairer to ask the
various counties and the various indi-
viduals to contribute according to their
financial worth, and this is how the
quota of this county, all all the others
here in Iowa, was figured out. Bank
ing resources include cash on hand in
the banks, notes, reAl estate owned
and, in fact, all the banks assets. The
sum total of all the resources of all the
banks in this county was figured out.
The Liberty Bond quota was then de-
termined in the proportion which these
county banking resources bear to the
banking resources of the entire state.
This simply means that all the coun-
ties in Iowa will be called upon to 'tdo
their bit" proportionate to their means
and that the third Liberty Bond drive
will be systematized much better than
were the first two. MIR. Cavanagh has
just returned to Des Moines from
Washington, where he was in confer
ence with officials Of the Treasury De-
partment, and authorized the announce
ment of this county's quota, as stated
above. }s
