Many members Of the Dali Eireann

If the payment were wholly by counties such cOun- ,ies as Gila, with an immense tax oil and relatively few children. would have more than enough school money.
 But the small counties of Apache. Graham and Navajo, almost entire agricultural and home making. with small assessment and with many children, could hardly main tain adequate schooling without an excessive tax rate.
 There are advocates of a plan that he school moneys be handled who'll y by the state, to be distributed n the basis of school census or chool attendance.
 This has been fought by the min ng counties. Hence there has been n all legislatures, a eompromise, in vhicb around million a year has ,een disbursed by the state and the arger balance provided by the coun- lies directly.

As the sea gives up it's dead the driftwood from the wreck of the Reynolds system of banking is find ing it's way to the surface, and with the return of L. M. Reynolds last Saturday to make his plea of Guilty or not Guilty" to the criminal charge that hangs over the entire system at present, came new complications and amazing situations for the sys- tenn that began business on shoe string and managed to get away with over $2OO,OOO of other peoples money.
 The country is strewn with the aftermath of this wreck from Ariz- ona to New York and for two years they have fought desperately to keep ahoat and hide from their customers the deplorable dilemma they weNe in. in.
 After L. M. Reynolds had spent a bad night in the county jail in lieu of $8,OoO bail money, he was very indignant that the citizens of Hol- brook should permit him to languish within a bastile and partake of his meals with a horse thief and a cutthroat.
 Louie talked glibly of his friend ship for the former patrons of the bank--and his yearning desire to see z them recover the money he had dis sipated and lost.
 And in the face of these protest Ations of fidelity, for almost two years last past he had lived in Hol- brook and carried within himself the secret that some sweet day he would jump the town" and leave his con- fiding friends and patrons to hold the sack.
 In a letter to the main office signed by Louie under date of June 6, 1918, at which time the bank was in a shaky condition, he told the First National that "they were go- ing to be disappointed in what he had planned in cutting down his load at that time. However you can bet on it coming as soon as we can bring it about, and from then on, never again have had enough of this worrying, switching and kiteing, and all I ask is the time of season to come when I can land on these people and they will get hit hard."
 This is his official report on what he thinks of the depositors of the State Bank over his own signature at that time.
 It has been charged by the News that there was collision between the HoIbrook State and the Albuquerque outft-that they were offsprings of the same parent, and in substantia- tion of this charge we give our readers a communication sent by J. M. Reynolds, president of the First National in Albuquerque to the Holbrook unit not many months be- fore the final crash:

the new heir apparent to the system.
 The old sage was against the set ting up of the Holbrook unit-and against his advice and judgment, the younger element of the family, dur ing his absence, arranged to stake Louie to a branch-and from recent developments, it was done more to get him out of the way than any thing else that they decided to wish him on Holbrook.
 The next question was how to fin ance the shebang without kicking hole in the home office and thus cover their tracks from the vision of the recalcitrant uncle
 The initial council was called of all the "frenzied finance" captains that hung their coats on a peg at the home office, and plan was sub mitted whereby Louie could be fin anced without fnances-and this is the tale:
 Twenty-seven shares of stock of the First National Bank of Albu- querque,. which was probably an heirloom handed down to the com ing generation of financiers, and standing at the time in the name of J. M. Reynolds and Herbert Ray holds were sent to the National Bank of Commerce in New York and put in hook for a negotiable note of S14,5OO-this note was sent to Holbrook as the corner stone on which would be built in tinfe-bar- ring examiners-one of the great fortunes of the southwest, and this was the entire assets of the Hol- brook bank when it emerged from the cocoon state to fit from suck CT to sucker with it's honeyed pros pectus for depositors.
 Louie owed the par value of the securities, which was S28,O0O, when he began business, and he figured on selling enough stock to release the family. securities held in hook in New York.
 Thus it can plainly be seen that there was not one cent of currency in the bank when it opened it's doors, and the system figured on the indul- gent Arizona neighbors to bring in enough cash to float the enterprise.
 Born without funds and succored on questionable securities it was tossed about on the turbulent sea of speculation until it's untimely strangulation in December-j u t when the oil ship, on which they had counted so much, hove on the horiz- on, to burn away the barriers over night.
 And now, the retired uncle and father, who was resting secure in the belief that the boys were val iantly weathering the present fin ancial crisis, and also the bread lines, has been called back from his quiet seaside villa, and is now the guest of honor at little sur prise party staged with all the nee essary settings at the home office and incidentally asked to chip in to buy floral piece for about five hundred mourners over in Arizona who are hellering their heads off for collateral without water.
 Not so much to help out the cat tlemen and oil prospectors but to keep out of jail safe majority of the attachees of the home plate.
 And if Uncle Josh capitulates he will be presented with bound vol ume that will make Tom Lawson's ''Frenzied Finance" look like sec reader for pep, entitled 'The Re port of the Special Investigation of the Holbrook State Bank" compiled under the direction of Judge Crosby, of the Navajo County Superior Court.

 J. M. R. Who will say that the asthor ot this letter-exercising supreme au- thority over the Holbrook bank snd issuing orders like this is not a part of the institution?
 Every move of L. M. Reynolds was that of an agent, and when be had the bee in his bonnet to become a National Bank president, he laid hi ease before the home office and this s how Cousin Jack told him to lay 1ff the National Bank stuff, that it vas dangerous ground:
 'sIn regard to applying for First National charter, in your case it is out of the question, with all the discounts you have at present and you simply would be put into hot water with monthly examinations and things of that sort until you got strengthened out. t.***EspeciaIly if 'yOu have sense enough to do legitimate banking business and not on outside speculatiOns. If Holbrook becomes large town you neither need to invest in oil or become a national bank to pick up a good deal of business"
 Signed J. M. Reynolds. . Discounts and rediscounts seemed to be the cause for throwing many a pain into the system, for in a let ter to a stockholder who remonstrat- ed with Louie for juggling the note he had given in payment for stock to the home office and back many times, says:
 Whatever notes we send the First National we are only nor ally behind, as g gentleman's agreement exists that in case of loss or the like, we make it good, the same as though it were note we were carrying.
 You can readily see that this kind of an arrangement is very beneficial to us, and in this way Q we get around showing redis- counts, which would not look we'll on our statement"
 And with all this shenanigan and lodging statements he was soliciting his Holbrook friends to skate out on his thin ice.
 In order to acquaint the ordinary bank depositor of the manner in which the Holbrook unit was born to the financial world-the story of an induigent uncle to the contrary notwithstandi7g-from careful study of the chronology of the i'm fant, and chronology without history is dry and insipid, it appears that the original purchase price of the stock of the Holbrook State bank was paid for L. M. Reynolds account by the First National Bank of Albu- querque and the First Savings Bank
