BANKING ~ RUSSIA
Is a WEIRD BUSINESS.

Travellers and refugees just out of
Russia tell weird tales of The bust
ness methods of tht Bolsheviki. A
man who knows the big Russian
banks intimately says that the bank
clerks were regarded with suspicion,
as possibly members OF the bour-
geoise class hence their wages were
cut to the level OF the street clean
els, honest men who pushed a broom
instead of a pen. Thereupon they
quit. So BARRIERS, porters and 9th
.eT miscellaneous folk were install
ed. New>accounting methods were
introduced, whose main principle
seemed to be the elimination OF the
ancient axiom that account books
should balance. The Iank ledr-
ers, This observer sorrowfully as
serted, will never balance again.
There was a rule in Petrograd
that 20 EauI depositor might with
~EaW ~ any one day more than l.
600 rubles. This rule the barber
observation-disclosures Lserved with
fair consistency. Thus, a gentle
man who had 1000 or 5000 rubles
to his credit appeared on about If
teen consecutive days and each day
carried away 1000 rubles. Finally
the Bolshevist superintendent at
tention was called to the fact that
this depositor's account showed a
very considerable overdraft. He
took the barber-accountant to task.
"See that you don't let this occur
again." he said. To square matters
(says the Russion refugee) he drew
his blue pencil through the ledger
pages, thereby eliminating the in
overdraft.
