THE WORLDS RICHEST COUNTRY.

The aggregate resources of 30S12 reporting banks, June 30 1921, as forth in the annual report of Comptroller of the Currency Crssinger recently made public were s49,671, ,390, 000 These compare with resources otaling $53, 900 June 30, 1920, or reduction of $3,4O7 7,61o,O0O. During the year there was shrinkage of $2 234 136000 in loans and discounts. items aggregated $31, ,256147OOO, June 30, 1920, the reduction slightly less than 75 per cent. This reduction somewhat less than many bankers had expected, especially in view of the fact Federal Reserve System had reduced outstanding loans during the past year more than 50 per cent. However, the Comptrollers report was for the period ending June 30, and the reduction between that date and January l, larger but no practical estimate of the amount has been made.
 During the year there increase of 685 in the number of banks in the country. Of this number 12S national the remainder of the newly organ zed institutions being either state private savings banks. The paid in capital stock of all banks not including Federal institutions is $29o3961- 900, an increase of $2O1 1922, 900 for the year
 Comptroller Crssingers report shows that in years, from 1914 to 1921, the United States has undergone transformation from heavy debtor tion to the heaviest creditor power in the his- tory of the world. This is reflected in the growth of her banking resources which at the end of the last fiscal year nearly 85 per cent. greater than in 1914.

 While the balance of trade thus continued to be of the United States it was not so large as in 1920. In 1921 the balance of trade In favor ol this country was $1,976,314,0 900 as compared to $2,949535 900, decrease in 1921 of $973,22looo

STATES RIGHTS ISSUE REVIVED.

Observers of events in Washington see in leg islation proposed and pending a revival of the old States Rights issue which vexed Congress for gen. erations and decade ago cropped up in debate in the Senate almost every day. During the it shelved and almost disappeared issue
 The Dyer ant-ynching bill, recently passed by the House of Representatives after bitter fight, first heraded its revival and the suggestion of President Harding in his last message to Congress relative to aboishing securities which followed up by Secretary Melons endorsement of the scheme and committee hearings, bids fair to make it one of the livest topics in Congress
 Secretary Mellon says that the Federal Government loses millions annually in taxes account of the issuance of axexempt securities. The bonds referred to in such general terms foated by municipal, county and state governments On of the fact that these bonds free, the city county or state issuing them is able to funds for public enterprises at lower rate of interest than would be the case were the securities subject to Federal taxation Thus, what the Federal Govern ment loses in taxes is represented in actual nan cial gain by individual cities counties states. If the Federal Government then is to collect the millions of dollars in taxes which Secretary Mellon estimates it is now losing, it is not going to get it out of the pockets of the investors but of the city, county or state which issues the securities
 When an investor invests in the bonds of pr- vate corporation his income therefrom is subject taxes ranging from 25 to 50 per cent On the other hand, if the money be invested in bonds of states cities or counties the investors income there from is not subject to taxation. The result from this has been that the private corporation in floating it's bonds must guarantee roughly return of from five and onehalf to and one-half per cent. inter- est while the cities and towns borrow money from four to five per cent. The result has been favorable to cities and towns which have been able to secure funds when private corporations hard put to find money.
 The discrimination in the two classes of borrow CTS however, is apparent than real Private corporations borrow money to advance their material interests, to promote their financial well-beng. States cities and towns issue bonds to build bridges, erect state, county municipal buildings, build highways, to accomplish some thing else for the promotion of the health social welfare material benefit, moral wellbeng of their citizenry To tax, then the of the money for these things is to make them expensive and harder to obtain. AS it would require amend ment to the Federal Constitution to abolish the issuance of tax-exempt securities, it would appear probable that the States Fighters have excellent chance in this instance of winning their fight.

Coal Exported by Alaska.

The first shipment of Matanuska coal since 1906 is the route from Anchorage. the Northern coal port, to Seattle.
 The shipment is only of 100 tons but it is in teresng indicating resumption of commercial mining in the Matanuska district and as an earnest of the Territory's future importance a of fuel supply for its people and for the outside world
 Whether the export business in Alaska does does not reach proportions. there is big and potentially extensive market for the black diamonds in it's domain. Vast areas suscep- tibe to cultivation whenever population is obtained and plant experiments have been concluded, prac- tically void of timber As is the with the rich American prairie country coal must be brought in for fuel.
 It has been of the anomalies of "conversa- tional conservation that Alaska although possessing deposits of marketable value, has had to import what it has needed Inevitably, costs have been high-so high as to render impossible industry other than min ing where returns have been high enough to cover expenses when heavy.
 Alaska coal for Alaskans is excellent slogan The Territory will witness it's real development when the same principle is applied to all it's other resources.
