tOrney General Believes.
ONE Per CENT HIS SUGGESTION
Result in Saving to Merchants
and Consumers.
Hopkins Declares Some Banks
Make 40 Per Cent.

Kansas banks should reduce their
interest rates as a patriotic move to-
ward lowering the high cost of living.
according to r. ]. Hopkins, attorney
general. While Hopkins has not in
dicated a course in the matter, he
may ask the banks to cut present In
terest rates and voluntarily reduce
their earnings. He denied that he
proposes the holding of bank inquisi-
tions.
Hopkins stated that a reduction Of
I per cent in current interest rates in
Kansas would mean a great saving to
many merchants. He said this reduc-
ton should aid in reducing living ex-
penses. He was not sure, tho, that
the retailer would display the brand
Of patriotism which he has asked of
the banks and pass the saving on to
the consumer. -
Earning 40 Per Cent?
Banks in Kansas are in most in
stances earning 80 to 40 per cent, l
believe" Hopkins said today. Il be-
lieve II would greatly aid in reducing
the high cost of living If they would
/ lower their interest rates to borrow

otic matter. The number OF applca-

me there is an enormous return from

| Hopkins said that so far as he knew
banks had not increased loan rates
since the beginning of the war. altho
| prices of all commodities had ad-
! vanced and big increases had been
made in wage and salary schedules
He said the average small town bank
| is receiving eight per cent He thought
the bank would make a very good
return on its money If 1t lowered rates
to seven per cent.
Make 1t Voluntary.
"I am not contemplating the holdint
of inuuisitions in bank matters" SAID
the attorney general, "and have no
determined whether I shall ask the
bankers to voluntarily reduce interes
rates. I believe, tho, they shoulC
do IT."
While he will urge lower interes
rates, Hopkins does not contend tina
the banks of the state are charging

cheaper money would make living con
ditions easier. He was unable to stat
the extent OF increases in call rates il
