but their deposits were not replen-
ished as before. Their debts did
not shrink with the value of their
products, and the prices OF goods
which they purchased did not
shrink in the same proportion.
Probably there is as much money
in the community as before, but
money Is only small change; the
buying power, or debt-paying
power has diminished, and the COM
mon form OF expression is that
money is tight" What it really
signifies is that the means of max
ing payments arc hard to find.
The agricultural districts have
suffered more than industrial dis
tricts because their products have
fallen more than manufactured
goods; moreover they do not have
the amount OF fixed income from
savings that some OF the older
states have. Their outstanding in
debtedness usually runs TO other
states. The Boston reserve bank
was the first to experience liquida-
ton in its own territory, its clients
being banks that serve industrial
communities. AS the latter coll
lected what was due Them from
other parts OF the country, and as
their operations slowed down, they
paid off their bank loans, and the
Boston reserve bank and later the

Philadelphia and Cleveland reserve
banks began to lend to the reserve
banks of Chicago, Minneapolis,
Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta and
Richmond, all of the latter serving
districts in which agricultural in
terests predominated. This shows
how the banking system of the
country is interlocked and mutually
supporting, to the advantage Of all
industries and all sections.
1t is not so much present specr-
lation and extravaganza that is con-
tributing 20 tight money as past
indulgences which had TO do with
creating the Indebtedness now out
standing. II is the debts so gaily
created in boom times that make
money tight when prices fall. The
debts do not shrink with the loss
of dcbt-paying power.
The trouble is largely due to the
unbalanced state Of industry. The
prices of what the farmer must buy
have not fallen to correspond with
the prices of what he has to sell.
His purchasing power is contracted
and he cannot go on buying the
same quantity of goods at the old
prices. Consequently great num-
bers OF workmcn are out of en-
ployment in the industrial ccnters,
and money grows tight with them

Where has all the money gomez"
Time after time during recen.
months we have been asked this
leading question. People generally
understand that, say this time two
years ago, money was easy: to-
day, with presumably the same
amount of wealth in the country,
money is tight"
To the average man, hundreds OF
millions of dollars seem to have
literally disappeared. Bankers are
seeing their deposits and their loans
drop. What has become Of all this
money which. two years ago.
seemed so easily obtainable on
every hand? Understanding of the
true answer TO these queries, we
believe, means a more intelligent
understanding of the business situa-
ton to-day.
1t may be said this condition gen.
orally is the result of the fall of
prices which has taken place in the
past year, the fact that the prices of
all commodities have not fallen in
ike degree. and that bank de-
posts have not been replenished
to make good the drafts on
them to pay outstanding obliga-
tons.
During the period of imitation
bank deposits rose steadily with
the loans. When a bank customer
borrowed money, taking credit for
it in his account, the banks de-
posts were increased in that
amount And when the customer
checked out the amount to pay for
4 Liberty Bond, or any other pur-
pose. the check went into some
other bank as a deposit, and thus
1T became purchasing power per-
manently in circulation until that
borrower or some borrower -
checked against a deposit account
that had been actually earned and
saved, and thereby extinguished a
corresponding amount OF credit.
We followed this process OF in
fating our bank deposits up to
about November |. 1920. Some of
our bankers were very proud over
the growth" of their deposits dur
ing that time, although they signi-
he'd very little except that a carload
OF hogs, or wheat, or other prod
ucts, was creating twice as big
credit entry as before the war.
The fundamental point to bear in
mind is that money is only the
medium OF payments. AS a con-
crete example take, say, an agri-
cultural community in the Middle
West. The real debt-paying power
of that community is in its farEa
products, aqd as the prices OF these
have fallen the debt-paying power,
or purchasing power, has been
diminished. The bank patrons
went on drawing upon their deposit
accounts to pay their obligations

WATER POWER BILLS
DIE In COMMITTEE.

ATLANTA, July 14.-The house
committee Wednesday afternoon
killed the two water power bills IN
troduced for the Municipal League.
The measure proposing that muni-
cipalities in the state be given the
right TO incur Indebtedness to the
amount of z per cent Of their tax
values over and above the present
constitutional limitation, the funds to
be used to develop, acquire or operate
hydro-clectrical plants and similar
public utilities, was killed by vote
of about two to one.
Tho companion bill, providing that
the state should have the right to IS
sue bonds for the same purpose, and

CLAY DOOMED AS
NEXT GOVERNOR
Surprise Sprung By Sen
ators At Welcome
Home Barbecue

MARIETTA, July IA (SpeciaD
Another chapter in the history of
Georgia politics was begun this af-
ternoon when Marietta welcomed
the return of her son, Herbert Clay,
president of the state senate and
Senator Dennis Fleming of the Tenth
district, and Senator Charles I. Bond,
of the Thirty district, amidst a
mighty demonstration, formally
nominated him as the next governor.
While President Clay's name has
been prominently mentioned n con-
ncction with the next race for the
chief executive office, the nomination
on the occasion of the barbecue ten
dedcd i'll his honor by the Marietta
citizens to the upper branch of the
general assembly came as a complete
surprise to him and d vast number
of those present. This development
was Of especial Importance and sig
nificance in view of the growing dis
cussion that Governor HardWick
would not be a candidate for re-
election.
THE destiny of fate, in directing
our courses in private and political
life, perchance has grooved itself
anew in an old channel" declared
Senator Fleming in his address, for
it is not the same figure history has
perpctuated for Georgia, however
near it may be counterpart.
To-day is not the day of the carly
nineties, but it is the beginning of
the dawn of a new era for this great
commonwealth. Like 1he o5her day,
too, it is going to make history for
the state, and the best nope from all
of us is that the history it will make
will square with that Of its prede-
cessor years.
1T may be that the degree Of fate
has taken up a lovablc and capable
heritage which the iilustrious Steve
Clay left to Georgia. AID through
him as great or maybe greater dest'-
ny is yet to lie worked ou- fot oui
people and our state.

that of the early ninetles, conclud-
ed Senator Fleming.
The address of Senator Bond was
along the same lines only in conclud-
ing he declared President Clay would
be the future governor of Georgia
and coming United States senator.
In an eloquent speech, President
Clay expressed appreciation Of the
remarks of his friends and asserted
his great ambition in life was TO {ol-
