TIME FOR BANKS TO MERGE
Present Conditions Favor Consoiida

Associated rress1

Topeka, Nov. Present condl-
tions in Kansas are favorable to an
era Of bank consolidation, in the opin-
ion of ]. II. Sandell, assistant state
bank commissioner. The alternative
for some small banks, Sandell be-
ieves, is liquidation. One Of the first
banks in Kansas to liQuidate volun-
tarily Is the Lawton Cherokee coun-
ty) State Bank.
During the period Of imitation
numerous banks were started with
the expectation they would be pro-
fitable," said Mr.. Sandell. Now that
defation has come, many Of these
banks are barely earning the cost OF
operation and are returning but small
profits to the stockholders. Consoli-
dalton would be for the best interest
of everyone concerned"
The present policy Of the state
charter board is to grant charters fol
new banks only in communities where
real need is shown, Mr.. Sandel
said. But few bank charters hav'
been granted in the last year, ant
only one since the change in admin

"This state has approximately 1884,
600 miles OF public highway 'and ~
600 miles Of county road. BY the
establishment Of a 1000 mile system
of primary state highways we could
have a complete network OF ROAD
over the state that would handle at
least 80 per cent of the traffic tonnage
hauled on our highways. A system
of this kind could be operated Ike

Kansas has been prevented from hav-
ing a system like this by prejudice
and the ranting Of few politicians
who talk for home consumption and
are defeating the best interests OF the
state.
1.-THE initiating Of road projects In
Kansas at present is largely brought
about by the active work Of profess
sional promoters. Material compan-
les employ him to go into the com
munity and boost their particular kind
of road. They educate the people by
propa ganda to a point where they be-
lieye that the one they are selling is
the only type of road that could be
constructed, when many times there
il local material at hand which could
be used in the construction Of lower
type Of highway at considerable fnan-
cial benefit to the country. The selec-
ton of a type of road for any place
in a state should be from a scientific
and should not be by mere
guess work or promise"

FIND ANCIENT XMAS
Prairie Dog Digging Uncovered
Them
fAasociated Pressl

Zuni, N. NJ, Nov. s.-To prairie
dog and a Zuni Indian belongs the
credit for discovery Of two ancient
kivas or ceremonial chambers Of pre-
historic Indian life in western New
Mexico. Valuable relics were recov-
cred which it is believed may throw
additional light on earliest civiliZa-
ton in this country.
The find was made while Frank
w. Hodge, an archeologist Of New
York and a Zuni Indian were making
excavations at the old abandoned viii
lage Of Hawiku in southwestern Nc
Kinley county. The Indian noticed
human bones in the loose dirt around
the freshly dug habitat of a prairie
dog. Pursuing the dogs underground
course with shovel he came to the
remainder Of the skeleton and then
to a fine piece of prehistoric masonry
which led him into the kivas.

STATE ROAD BUILDING

Capitalization Of road construction
under the state government Will De
necessary before Kansas can hope to
have a real highway system, M. w.
Watson, state highway engineer, de-
clares in sensible interview.
"While the existing laws are CIV
ing us a greater mileage of highways
than In the past, anyone who mas
made a study Of highway administra-
ton recognizes that as yet we have
not adopted a policy in Kansas which
will secure for us an adequate state
system Of highways within reason
able length Of time" Watson Gays.
"Under our present plan, the inl-
tiating Of projects is vested In the
people of the benefit district or In the
boards Of county commissioners. Un.
less a road project Is SO initiated and
filed with the State Highway Com
mission there is no way by which
we can start project The result II
that we have roads built In rev
counties where they desire to con
struct highways and in the remaining
counties nothing will be done unit
the state takes over and constructs
these highways"
AS an example Of such situation
Watson cites the proposed kansa
City to Salina highway which i
either completed, under construction
or projected the entire distance ex
cepting from st. Mary's to the cas-
line Of the Fort Riley reservation ant
from Solomon to Salina.
Experience In other states ha
shown Us that statewide system o
highways which is SO essential to tn
welfare of the state cannot be con
structed by the local unit plan. Penn
sylvania, New York, Massachusetts
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota an
California are among the states tina
have found by sad experience that
was impossible to build through sys
tenn Of highways by depending upo
the local sub divisions Of the state t
finance these projects.
There is too much local jealousy
prejudice and politics to ever get
definite system of roads. Each coun
e fy commissioner looks out for his In
diyidnal interests and for the inter
este Of the particular electoral
whom he represents. Very few ar
sufficiently farsighted and awake {
