Money


Treasury, there are here present
ed, in tabloid form, some facts in
regard to the wealth of the United
States people, which ought to in
terest everybody.
These are sheer figures. They are
intended to convey no argument,
and the reader may draw his own
conclusions. 3
There are 8,157 national banks,
the highest number ever reported.
The movement toward making
banks national banks grows rapidly.
Since March 4, 1900, 1898 State
banks, trust companies, and private
banks have become national banks.
June 30, 1920, there were 2O,52O,-
1T deposit accounts in all national
banks.
This is an increase of 2,279,877
over the previous year.
There is now approximately one
deposit account in the national
banks for every five persons in the
country.
The national banks earned 23.O9
per cent on their entire capital stock
(12.78 per cent on capital and sur
plus) last year.
Net earnings for the year we're
2S2,O83,OOO, which is $41, 600
more than they ever earned any
year before.
The shrinkage in values of all ma
terial things, goods, wares and mer-
chandise, in this country during
1920 is estimated at from II to 18
thousand million dollars. This loss
in one year is equal to at least half
our entire national debt.
The country is on a sounder basis
economically than it has been for
years, however, because we are near
bedrock now on most, but not all,
commodities.
The banking power of the United
States has reached the huge total of
$50, ,981 100000 according to the fig
ures for June, 1920.
Our banking power today is about
ten times as great as it was thirty
years ago.
The amount of currency in circu-
lation now is less, compared to the
total resources of the banks, than
it was before the war.
There is now $5,3SO,S52,OOO of
money in circulation.
Of this $50 million is in the vaults
of national banks, 626 million in
banks under State supervision, 96O
million (and over) in Federal Re-
serve banks, leaving a balance of
money boarded in safe deposit
boxes, stockings and the like, as we'll
as money circulating abroad, of 1874
million dollars.
In July, 1914, there was in circu-
lation 13 per cent of the bank re-
sources. In July, 1920, 10 per cent.
In June, 1920, 9,445,327 people
had $435, $4,000 deposited in mutual
savings banks.
Despite the spending craze the
number of depositors increased 1885,
519 during the year, and the aver
age deposit rose from $53O.92 on
June 80, 1919, to $549.14 on June
80, 1920.
So, taking it by and large, we are
the richest people in the world, al
though each one of us feels hard up,
thinks he ought to get more, and is
unsatisfied.

Safeguarding
Right of Speech
Il ENATOR BORAH, who did such
~ good service fighting the Wilson

project Oh foreign eHIdnSic-
ments, has again put the nation un-
der obligation by fling bill to en-
force the sanctity Of our constitu
tional guarantees.
Senator Borah' s bill provides for
the punishment, by fine of from five
to ten thousand dollars, of any State
officer who interferes with any at
tempt of any person living within
the United States to exercise any
constitutional and legal privilege to
"purpose, discuss, advance, advo-
cate or promote by any lawful means
any Federal statute or any amend
ment Of the Federal Constitution"
The bill also proposes a fine and
imprisonment up to five years for
any State or Federal official who
"injures, oppresses, threatens or in
timidates any person in the free ex-
ercise or the enjoyment of any right
or privilege secured or guaranteed
to him by the Constitution"
The bill also provides for the
punishment of both State and Fed
eral officers who make seizures and
searches without warrant.
The Articles Of the Confederation
under which the thirteen colonies
conducted the Revolutionary war
and the first few years of our indie
pendent existence as a republic
failed because they had no teeth.
Laws are obeyed because there is
power behind them to compel obedi-
ence.
To cure this inherent fault in the
Articles of Confederation our fore
fathers adopted the present Consti-
tuition, which did not put the execu-
tion of the national laws upon the
honor of State officials, but gave
their execution into the hands of
$he National Government itself,
making the National Government su-
Areme within the sphere of it's ac-
Fion and giving it the power to i'm
spose punishment for disobedience of
6ts mandates. Therefore it has
kworked.
: One reason why your constitutional
Safeguards were so recklessly and
sontemptuously disregarded by the
Wilson Administration, one reason
why the freedom of speech and of
the press has been more trampled
npon in our boasted American
democracy during the war and
nearly two years after it than in
any other civilized country in the
world, is that the National Govern
ment has not provided any pains
and penalties for the officers of Gov
srnment who violate them.
Thus when the wretched Mitchell
Palmer, being a candidate for Presi-
dent, tried to capitalize prevalent
war hysteria he incurred no penalty
for violating the liberties of our
people by his attempt to popularize
himself through the creation of May
Day anarchistic scares and by wild
and reckless raids upon the homes
.of innocent people entitled to due
process of law. If prison had stared
him and his minions in the face

He may be rich for all I know.
He may be clever in his way;

To do his bidding day BY day:
He may be really on the square
Perhaps for what 10 fine he stands;
To know him better I don't care

His nugers barely closed In mine.
He didn't look me In the eye;
He didn't give q pressure nns,

Correspondent Makes Strenuous Pro-

lSSt fSollSk voc WI Iii~ ~ SSSS'
Editor iorkville Enquirer:
Will you kindly allow me space in
your paper to make Il few brief state
ments and comments on an affair that
was pulled off in our community last
week that l consider is Il shame and a
blot on the good name and reputation
Of this community.
On last Friday night what was sup
posed TO be Il Valentine party was Civ
en- at the Ogden school house for the
children of the school. The children
were all there, full of glec and expect
ancy. Everything moved along nicely
and joyfully for tho children until the
party" w9ls well under way and about
half of the valentines had been given
out. Then this feature Of the occasion
was brought to an abrupt close" the
room WAS cleared for action. The chill
dren were pushed aside, OF outside II
they could not find Il place well out OF
the way in some corner, and an old
time dance was staged, the teachers OF
the school taking an active part III the
festivities. which lasted until late
hour of the night or the early hours OF
tn morning.
Just who is responsible for this dis
graceful affair, am unable 20 say pos
itively. l do know of my own knowi-
edge that a member of the board OF
trustees of the school was approached
during the afternoon with the view OF
getting his permission to have dance
in the school house that night and he
flatly refused the request and warned
the young people npt to attempt any
thing of the kind. understand that
later in the afternoon some of the frol-
ickers got permission from a patron oil
the school to have the dance.
AS a citizen Of the community, n pa
tron of the school, and for the sake OF
the good name Of the community, am
onnosed to using our school house for
a dancing hall feel quite sure that
our county superintendent of education
does not approve of any such thing
either, and l trust" that proper steps
will be taken to prevent repetition OF
