BANKS HELPING

New York, Oct. ,15.-James S. Alexander, President of the National Bank of Commerce in New York. told American exporters at the an- nual convention of the American manufacturers Export Association here today that the banks had not failed to cooperate with business men to the fullest extent in the present business era. #If business men felt there had besh any such tendency on the part of the banks it was due to misconception or a failure to give weight to fundamental facts, he said.
 MT. Alexander said he desired to answer the charge made by the Pres ident of the export association that the banks cooperate readily with business in times of prosperity but when hard times come they with draw their assistance.''
 MT. Alexander admitted that in the past there had been some basis for such an accusation but he attributed this to the fact that the banks were not then organized so as to support one another and each was compelled to protect itself by contracting it's

Proposition Has Been
Looked Into From
All Sides ~

The establishment of an alfalfa
feed mill in this city at the present
time and under the present plans was
deemed unadvisable by committee
of business men, members of the
commercial club and others who met
Friday night.
The plans submitted by the promo
ers called for the organization of a
company with a capitalization of
100000 with the object of estab-
fishing feed plants in several cities
of southern Idaho. Each plant would
call for an outlay of approximately
$4,000. 1t was this part of the
plan that met with disapproval of tie
committee. 1t appeared to be their
disposition that chances for non-suc-
cess would be much greater with
several mills controlled by the COM
pany and that the failure of any one
mill would be considerable load to
carry. 1t was felt, however, that a
feed mill for Blackfoot would be a
paying proposition, if it were con-
Quoted independently and that suf-
ficient backing could be obtained if
local stockmen would get behind
such a plan.
