Senator-elect from Washing ton Announces Course
 Which Is to Be Taken

SEATTLE, Nov. Il. Senator elect c. c. Dill was the guest of honor at a banquet last night of more than 900, mostly Democrats and Progressives
 Senator-elect Dill said:
 With the aid of the Democrats and the Progressiyes, the House and Senate hold the balance of power and can absolutely prevent any re- actionary legislation.
 We want no more Daugherty in- functions.
 By taking a progressive stand on public questions now pending, the Democrats can translate the gains into victory in 1924.

1 OF EVERY 4 NEW WORKERS ARE
 SAID TO HAVE MONEY IN BANKS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The pop ular idea that the term New Yorker" is synonymous with prodi- gality in expenditures for unimport- ant things, extravaganza in dress and style of living and outlay for bright light amusements, is refuted by some significant figures just compiled by the Merchants Asso- catiOn.
 On July 1, 1922, the savings banks of New York held on deposit 's2. s2.069.779.S24.85. representing ac- counts of 1,68O,625 depositors or more than one out of every four of the entire population.
 These figures said the state ment. are as significant relatively as positively. They prove that the habit of thrift among the wage earners in the city has grown enor- mously during the last twenty-five years.
 Tn 1897 the books of the New York savings banks showed deposits
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-11-17

a total of $529.9O7.2<7.t5, The ictual deposits in that period have
 therefore multiplied utmost four .imes. Within the same period the lumber of depositors has increased rem 1.222.366 to the total as in- Heated above. It is true, that the increase in numbers of accounts fs not commensurate with the increase In population, but significant fact appears in the per capita compari- son. The depositors in 1897 showed m average savings account of s421.51 while the depositors of to- day show an average savings deposit of $1.231.55.
 Those who analyze the signtn- canoe of figures may draw various deductions of interest from these re- markable showings which are newly assembled. but any argument tend ing to show that New Yorkers in general are a wasteful let would have some difficulty in maintaining itself unchanged"
