RESOURCES LOCAL
BANKS DOUBLED IN
PAST NINE YEARS
DEPOSITS HAVE ALMOST DOUB-
LED DURING THE PAST
TWO YEARS.
REMARKABLE INCREASES SHOWN
Comparison of Statements Gives Some
Evidence of the Prosperity of the
County But Does Not Tell the Whole
Story.

Statements of the three Columbia
banks, the Maury National, Phoenix
National and Columbia Bank & Trust
Company, published in The Herald on
Monday, show the remarkable growth
of bank assets and deposits during re.
cent years. Combined assets of the
three banks totalled $3,909, 1882 on
June &c. Their combined deposits az
gregated $685., 920.65. Il. ---..-
Nine years ago, in 1910, the com
bined assets of the same three banks
We're $1,SS9,35S. or less than half of
what they are today. The combined
deposits in June, 1910, were $1,115,-
621.85 or only about forty per cent of
what they are today. In other words
in the past nine years the resources
of the banks of Columbia have consid-
erably more than doubled while the
deposits of the same institutions havo
increased by approximately $50 per
cent. This increase in the deposits
of the banks has averaged nearly
twenty per cent per annum. That has
been done without any boom or the es-
tablishing of any great new industry
or the discovery of any hitherto hid
den wealth.
In 1917 the aggregate deposits of
the three banks were less by 100000
than the deposits of one of them today
An even more remarkable growth
is noted by comparing the statements
of two years ago. Two years ago,
1917, the three banks had resources
of s2,571 ,6S4.20. The increase during
the past two years has been we'll over
fifty per cent Two years ago the de-
posts aggregated s1,66S, 9O7. 81 as COM
pared with $2,955, 92O.65 at this time.
Deposits lack but a little of having
doubled in the past two years, an aver
age annual increase of nearly so per
Get per annum.
Had no money been Invested by the
people of the county in government Sc
curities the past two years one would
wonder what would have become of
all the money. These bank state
ments give some idea of the prosperity
ty the people have enjoyed but they |
do not tell the whole story.

flee from o'clock Monday morning
until { o'clock that night. 1t seems
that the principal business of every
body who came to Columbia was to
pay the new wheel tax that is de-
signed to build better roads.
Clerk Lipscomb said this morning
that approximately $500 tags had been
issued, which is about one-half the
number it has been estimated will be
paid. Although the limit of time for
the payment of this tax has already
expired, there will be no prosecutions
for several days, since the tags have
been on hand only a few days and
the people really have not yet had
time to comply with the law. He
said that after the rush is over and a
reasonable time is given for those un-
avoidably delayed, the penalty will be
applied, because there is no intention
to let anybody who is subject to the
tax escape.
The tags are averaging about IS

those paid Monday If that average
holds good for all of the estimated
5000 vehicles the income to the road
fund will be in the neighborhood OF

This was the prediction of congress
sional leaders, both democrats Inc re-
publicans, today, who are waiting for
some expression from the country be-
fore making any bold moves for or
against an extra session.
An extra session can be forced by
causing the failure of some main ap-
preparation bills. The military bill ap-
pears the most likely candidate for
this, for two reasons:
1t has not even been started by the
House military committee, which is
still waiting var department recon-
mendation.
It must be passed some time before
July to allow the military establish
ment and demobilization here and
