STATE. HOUSE
Meeting uneiI Tuesday, JAM g. 10 A. NJ

Fred F. Lawrence of Skowhegan,
State bank commissioner. in his an
nual report which has been filed with
the Governor and Council, says that
under the prevailing conditions of
liquidation and def1ation it Is a mat
ter Of qualification to be able to point
to the generally excellent condition of
institutions under his supervision.
THE lessened activity of several
industries playing so large a part in
he economic life of the State has
naturally retarded the growth in our
banking resources which was so no
ticeable in former years." says Bank
Commissioner Lawrence. "This, how
ever. is not only natural under exist
ing postwar conditions, but any
other tendency would be distinctly
unhealthy.
There has been no failure in any
State banking institution during the
year and no developments involving
substantial impairment of assets. The
laws of Maine have thrown such safe
guards around the deposits inj its
banking institutions that public con-
f1dence in them is in the highest de-
gree justified, and the fact that saw
ings accounts have slowly increased
during these times of shrinking net
Incomes and relatively high living
costs testifies to the continued thrift
of our citizens.
Much, however, needs to be done
by way of education to impress upon
the public the fact that general pros
perity and individual welfare alike
are served by depositing savings in
banking institutions. The loss of
such savings by an appreciate num-
Der of people whos can i'll afford to
lose them is an economic and social

menace, and every bank official owes
a positive duty to counteract the
growing belief, encouraged by the
ubiquitous and irrepressible promoter.
that every possessor of savings ac-
count is potential investor.
Much has been accomplished in
this direction by an effective blue
sky law. but such legislation is linn
tied in its scope and properly so. The
individual should not be told by law
that he should not speculate or make
his own investments. The real rem
edy is educational, banking should no
longer be regarded as a mystery. The
public should be shown that invest
ment is science requiring constant
study and supervision, and that no
institution can perform that function
so satisfactorily as the bank, operat-
] ing under public control, strictly
regulated by law and having the op-
portunlty for Investigation of in
vestments which is denied to the
ordinary individual. Under such
conditions the depositor receives the
highest rate of interest compatible
with safety, accompanied by that in
estimable privilege which an invest
ment affords. the right to his deposit
in full with accumulated interest on
demand, or at most. after a brief no.
tice, which in practice is at most
never required.
During the recently prevailing alb
normal interest rates it was I'M
doubtcdly true that opportunities
! were afforded with relatively slight
risk to secure a relatively higher yield
than that afforded by banks. The es-
sentially abnormal and temporary
character of this condition, however.
has been strikingly demonstrated by
the almost phenomenal increase in
the price of high class investment
bonds with CORRESPONDENCE reduced
| yield.
For the first time in the history of
fthe State the interest rate on de-
posts in savings banks is a uniform
one. per cent. per annum, four in
situations having increased their rate
from 81 per cent. and two from 81
per cent. during the year. This pol
Icy of uniformity has a distinct ad-
vantage, as competition based on
varying interest rates is inadvisable.
-Four per cent. under normal con-
ditions must be recognized as repre-
senting the maximum of safe yield on
deposits practically subject to call,
and Maine institutions are to be con-
graduated upon their refusal to fol-
low the less conservative dividend
policy of some out of the state insti-
, buttons. The rate of interest should
obviously not fuctuate with changing
temporary conditions. 1t is true that
the institutions are mutual in charac-
ter, but excess earnings afford pro-
lection to every depositor through the
increased reserve and where good
management or good fortune increas-
es such earnings above normal, they
can be distributed. when occasion re-
qutres, In the form of extra dividends.
THE attractive basis upon which,
until very recently, United States
government obligations could be pur-
chased led to a continued increase in
the amount and percentage OF these
securities held by savings banks. The
resulting benefits to depositors are

Taking Care of Amounts Due
For the Soldiers Bonus

In connection with the order pass
ed by the Executive Council last
Friday revoking the order for the re-
issue of 100000 of the Soldiers
Bonus bonds, upon the recommends
ton of State Treasurer William L..
Bonney, on account of the present
condition of the bond market, an
other order was passed. to take care
of the cash situation, as follows:
Whereas, the 10Th Legislature of
the State of Maine passed an act en-
titled An Act to provide for the
payment of a Bonus to the Maine
Soldiers and Sailors in the War with
Germany which act is Chapter 264
of the Public Laws of 1919, authoriz-
ing the treasurer of State, with the
approval of the Governor and Coun-
Gil, to issue bonds or notes from time
to time as they are needed to an
amount in the aggregate $4,000. 900.
for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of said act; and
Whereas, the funds received from
the sale of said bonds have all been
expended for the purpose authorized,
and there are now amounts due or
to become due to the soldiers and
sailors under the provisions Of said
act for which no appropriation of
money is available, and
Whereas, in the judgement of the
Governor and Council. an emergency
has arisen requiring the immediate
payment to said soldiers and sailors,

it is proper to use for this purpose
and that it il not now advisable to

Now, therefore be it ordered:

Wants Draft Evaders
Ferreted Out and
Given Punishment

Washington, Dec. 1c-Energetic
pursuit and punishment Of the more
than 100000 men who cvaded the
draft during the World War is ur-
gently recommended by Major Cen
cral Harris, Adjutant General OF the
Army. IN his report made public
today by the Secretary Of War. To
bring those guilty to trial, he recon-
mends that Congress appropriate
$3.50, 900 to pay rewards of $50 for
each draft. deserter delivered to the
military authorities.
1T is imperative" he declares that
the Government exhibit the greatest
possible energy in pursuing these
men and in Furnishing all who are
found guilty. If the government
permits these deserters to escape the
punishment provided for their Of
tense. consequences of. The grayest
import will certainly ensue.
"Inaction of this sort would tend
to set a premium on evasion of mil
itary service, with the inevitable re-
suit that, should another national
emergency arise and another selec-
tive draft be put in operation, the
number of men attempting to evade
the performance of military duty will
mount to a figure so large as to i'm
peril the Nation through interfering
very seriously with the rapid build
ing-up of an emergency Army"
General Harris says the publication
of the Stacker lists" by the news
papers proved highly useful for the
purpose of Strengthening out the rec
ords of a number of -willful de-
serters whose names were included
therein, despite all the care and ef-
fort expended in an attempt to in
clude none but those of willful de-
serters." He shows that less than
one half of one per cent of the names
published have been found to be those
of non willful deserters and says
these have been removed from the
lists.
General Harris report shows that
reported assertions from the regular
army. in the fiscal year ended last
June 80 totalled 1869. or 4.57 per
cent, the largest percentage since
1909. and nearly four. times as great
as that in the preceding fiscal year.
He says the marked increase prob
ably can be accounted for 'tby the
fact that the vast majority of the
deserters were new recruits who
found the army discipline more irk-
some than they mad anticipated"
The number of the reported deser-
tions, he adds, is in excess of the
number of actual assertions as many
of the men will be returned to mill
tary control and acquitted of the
charge of desertion, while others will
be convicted of the lesser offense Of
absent without leave.
