BANK PREACHING AND PRACTICE

IF the American banker will put into
practice the optimism he has been preach
ing in the public conventions" says a
western newspaper ''it will not be long
before there is a sharp turn in the tide
of business"
The criticism seems well taken. The
conservatism which was banking virtue
in the doubtful beginning of this period
of defation has come to be regarded as
a vice 49,
Banks in general, as reports show,
have piled up reserves far in excess of
those formerly considered necessary. Yet
nearly everywhere loans are still hard
to get, eve for the most legitimate and
pressing purposes, except at rates of in
terest which are hard to Justify. 1t was
shown recently in a newspaper investiga-
ton of the housing situation that one of
the chief causes of the housing famine
was inability of builders to borrow
money except at rates which, with inter-
est and bonus, ran from to II per cent
for first mortgages and 20 to % per
cent for second mortgages.
There is today an insistent and ap-
parently justified demand that banks
should loosen up" in fairness to their
patrons and in harmony with their own
estimates of business conditions.

Burlington q Port.
(Greentield Recorder.

Business men of Burlington, Vt, are
considering the use of water transpor-
tation to New York by way of the
Champlain canal, which connects Lake
Champlain and Lake George with the
route to tide water. A company is ready
to provide the vessels, and the rates
proposed would afford a considerable
saving over rail transport. This has
great interest to Burlington and vicinity
especially in the matter of coal prices
which would be somewhat lowered. An
other feature is that Barre La:
never been able to compete with Maine
quarries in the production of grant,
paving blocks, because the Pine Tree
state concerns are located where thes
can ship by water. With water route
omen from Burlington. the Barre quar-
ries could make the short rail shipment
to Burlington and still be in a position
to meet Maine on paving block prices.

PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY,

Much has been made of the fact that
the United States Steel corporation has
set aside fund of $10,OO0,0OO to employ
idle men in construction work, but the
real point of the thing has been generally
ignored. The Steel Trusts action has
been praised as an act of generous phil
anthropy, in a time of need. 1t is rather
a stroke of good business.
The rulers of the Steel Trust doubt
less feel a sense of satisfaction in giving
work to idle men. Nevertheless the main
reason for such action is that those same
rulers are convinced they will soon need
more mills, factories and warehouses.
I'm time of peace, prepare for war :"
In time of dullness, prepare for prosper.
ity. The steel men are doing that, know.
ing that sooner or later, and probably
sooner, all their resources will be taxed
to keep pace with the demand for their
products.
