en- out by the Comptroller of the
Currency, the loans and dis.
counts by the national banks
outside of New York City de-
creased $685., $50, 600 in; the As
day period from November 18th
to December 10Th. In this same
time the increase in New York
was $49.00O,O0O. And these 45
days have nothing like covered
the "deflatiOn" period, during
which this policy has decreased
loans and discounts doubtless
running above the billion mark
with national banks alone.
This result has been brought
about by denying credit to
spectators" very largely. For
years, the speculator has cussed
and discussed until it was easy
to bring the people to believe
that this gentry was responsible
for most all the woes suffered
by those who buy and sell. And
there are those who still believe
that the specuIator is RESPONSE
bic for the present depression
in business. Quite the reverse
is true.
Who is a Spectator? Obvi-
ously one who buys to hold for
a higher price. Now, there is
only one crop of cotton made in
"a year. The same is true of
oats, wheat, corn, etc. Hereto
fore, when the farmer gathered
his crop he sold it at the market
figure. The purchase was made
by Spectator who held it him
self Tor sold it to ''someonesswho
did until the consumer was
ready to buy. These ''specula-
tors" made the market. We
now have a financial condition
under which the speculator can
not borrow funds to finance his
deals except lin the orderly
course of business" AS at pre-
sent interpreted, this means
that he may finances..his deals
only when he has ready mar.
ket for his purchases.
This policy has brought ruin
to farmers by the thousands,
bankrupted merchants by the
hundreds, and closed banks by
the score. Besides it has caused
men to be thrown out Of EN-.
pigment by the millions and
brought hardships and suffering
to tens of millions.
But don't get it into your
head that the small town banker
are responsible for this state OIL
affairs. They have nobly come
to the rescue as far as in theil
power lay. But they were cir
cumscribed by those in contro
of the credit machinery of the
country, and when their own
credit power was exhausted
rediscounts were hard to nego.
tiate, and only Tin most cases)
at a prohibitive rate of interest.
So it goes, the cry against the
high cost of living has brought
about conditions little expected
by those who demanded the re-
duction. Compare present con-
ditions with those Of a year ago
and decide for yourself which
you like the better.

gun a new campaign to give Grand
Forks business men and residents
better service. Mail carly and Oft

that has been adopted in all cities
Throughout the country.
Postmaster General Will Fl. Hays
was the man who started the bail
rolling. He discovered that 100000
letters and cards and 5000 sacks Of
other mail were handled daily at the
Washington postoflce. One hundred
Thousand of these letters and cards
were deposited in the p%ostoffice be-
tween S a. m. and 4 p. M, and U0O,-
900 between 4 y. m. and 8 a. m.
Nearly all Of the SOC, 1000 letters and
cards were deposited between 4 ,. m,
and { D.. M, Mr.. Hays discovered.
This meant congestion and delay in
the postofice. SO be went to work to
remedy it.. He found that the gov
ernment offices were largely rcspon-
sible for it. The government mail
was not deposited until about the
middle Of the afternoon or ven later.
Now it is being deposited at various
times during the day. AS a result,
twenty-four men have been trans
ferred from the night force Of the
force.
This same condition obtains in
postoffices in all large cities and il
cities the size of Grand Forks. Busi'
ness houses do not deposit their mai

though some Of it is ready in the
morning.
The local office has started ''tht
