the charge is an unreasonable one II
3 fair. however, to look at the facts
In the case and consider both sides OF
the proposition before reaching

IRE fact Of the matter IS. as the
figures viii show that the banks OF

invested. are making a smaller re
turn on their investment than most
any other class Of business insutu-
tons In the city
The sworn statements OF all the
banks Of FL PasO were published on
Saturday, January IL This statement
showed the condition Of the banks on
tbs last day Of the year and gives an
accurate basis on which 10 calculate
their earnings.
How Earnings Are Applied
The earnings Of banking institu-
ions are applied, first 70 the payment
OF their operating expenses The next
rhnrEs AGAINST their earnings Is the
ueceFsarv and unavoidable losses Of
doing business. such as all banks ana
commercial houses necessarily nav e
70 suffer. After the expenses are paid
and the losses charged off. the earn
inEs which remain are either utllized
IN the payment OF dividends or credit
I'd 70 undivided profit or surplus &C
count
a study OF the combined statements
Of ali the banks Of e Paso. as they
we're recently published. shows that
the total capital OF all the banks OF
the city, viz, their capital and surplus.
amounted 10 Ss.E8l,000. A study OF
their undivided profits account showed
that the total undivided profits OF all
the banks OF the city on December 81.
1918 amounted 70 s6s,A5A7S. This
the total capital OF the consolidated
hanks OF FL Paso.
Some Paid No Dividends.
Nov. II their net earnings do not
appear in their undivided profit &C
count they must have been paid out
IN dividends or used TO Increase the
surplus account The fact Of the mat
ter Is that several OF FL Paso's banks
IN the past year paid no dividend
whatsoever and. in the case OF those
which paid dividends. their dividends
ranged from 4 percent TO s percent
and no bank in the city paid over s
percent The total dividends paid on
the total capital OF all the banks in
the city amounted 10 S123.50O. which
amounts 10 81 percent on the invest
ed capital Of t5,4S1.0O0. Combining
then. the percsntaEs OF dividends paid
together wiki the percentage OF IN
divided profits remaining on their
books. establishes the fact that the
banks OF Il Paso earned last year On
their invested capital the net amount
o. 81 percent

everything has its place. The fact
