Government Officials in Reply
to Topeka Banker.
John L. WayIand Questions
William Macferran's Beliefs.
ON MOTOR CARS, S6S, 900, 900
And Kansas Gets No Return on
Expenditure, Is Claim.
New Reason for Shortage of
Funds in State Banks.

The statement which William Mac
ferran, president of the State Savings
bank, made before the Kansas agricul-
tural convention, this week, to the eff
feet that one reason the Kansas banks
are short of funds is because citizens
of the state have deposited 10000, 600
in the Postal Savings bank at Wash
ington, has brought a rise" from
John T. Wayland, of Kansas City, in
charge of the government savings bu-
reau in the Tenth Federal reserve dis
trict.
In a letter sent to the Topeka bank
er, Wayland not only defends the gov
eminent savings plan but says he is
sorry that the little item OF motor car
expenditures by the Kansas people
toned along with the other reasons
why the banks i'm this state are short
of funds Not mentioning anything
about the amount spent for new cars,
Wayland says that Kansas spent $6S,-
100000 last year for gasoline and mo-
tor car up-keep, not including depre-
citation or original cost. and says he is
willing to leave it to Macferran's
judgment whether this was as good an
investment for the state as the $780,
100000 invested in government savings
securities.
Il have just noticed in the press"
Wayland's letter states, IAN account
of your address yesterday before the
Farmers conference wherein you are
credited with the statement that one
reason the Kansas banks are short of
funds is because the citizens of the
state have saved SS0,000,000 which
they have invested in the Postal Saw
ings bank in Washington. \ We assume
you intended to say $SG0O0,0O invest
ed in Treasury Savings Securities.
Savings VS.. Gasoline.
I'VE are very sorry indeed you did
not also see fit to inform this assem-
bly, that another contributing factor
for the supposed shortage of funds in
Kansas is the fact that Kansas during
1921 expended for gasoline and the
up-keep of automobiles (not includ-
ing depreciation or original cost of
cars) something like $6S,OoO,0OO We
will leave it to your own conclusion
as to which is the better for the State
of Kansas, having $SO,00O,0O0 invested
in government Savings Securities, or
having spent S6S. 900, 900 for gasoline
and automobile upkeep."
According TO w. o. Rigby, Topeka
postmaster, to whom copy of Way
| lands letter was sent, the $4,000, 900
which the people of Kansas have in
vested in government savings will be-
come due and payable, with the &C
foundations the first of next January.
''At that time" said Rigby, "all of
this money will come back into the
state with eighteen cents interest add
! ed to every dollar, which cannot be
! said of the money that has gone into
automobiles"
