BIG GROWTH SHOWN IN
STATE BANK SYSTEM

National association of supervisors
of state banks has just issued a state
ment of the banking resources Of all
state banks and trust companies based
on the call report of June 30, 1919, or
the call nearest to that date. In the
forty-eight states there are 2l,028 of
these institutions, with total resources
of $25, 965, 675, 5000.
AS of the same date, the call of the
comptroller of the currency shows 7705
national banks, with total resources of
500, 100 $50, 900. The full banking re-
sources of the nation at that time,
therefore, amounted to the vast sum of
$40, 765, 225, 5000.
Only within the last two years have
official statistics been available for the
computation of the resources of state
banks. For this reason the public has
not realized the full strength of the
state banking institutions. 1t will
doubtless be revelation to most per
sons that the resources of the state
institutions exceed those of the nation
al banks by $5,166, 1875, 5000 For
the year ending June 80, 1919, the

Lose Rights Of
Political Party

Before the congressional nom1na
tion rendered DR.. Esther Pohl Lovejoy
democratic candidate for congress. by
the prohibition party of the third Ore
gon district, can be made effective the
lprohibitionists must first rehabilitate
themselves as an organized party with
in that district, according to opinions
expressed in state house circles today.
This rehabilitation, according to Secre-
tary of State Kozer. can only be ac-
complished at this stage of the game
through the filing of a petition con-
tanning signatures equivalent to five
per cent of the total vote cast in that
district at he las general election. The
petition must be filed with the secre-
tary Of states office before Septem-
ber or 55 days before the election
date.
Although the prohibition party is
still valid and subsisting part in the

ion rendered by Attorney General

not entitled to recognition as political
party in the third congressional dis
trict in which it had no candidate for

general dated March 8, 1920.
