MYSTERY.

Bank clearings have fallen off
heavily, compared with a year ago.
But about $72 is passing through the
clearing houses now, for every $54
in 1917 when America entered the
war,
This reflects higher prices. But
that is largely cou1lterbalanced By
the low volume Of business tranac-
lions during. depression.
Just how a third more money can
be changing hands now than five
years ago, is a mystery, any way you
look at it. Who is getting the
money? There was plenty of it, back
in 1917. Now nearly every one
seems to be broke--or badly bent.

The system by which a part OF the

these two great principles, real

bonds is not so simple as these two

Judging Property Values

First OF all, as l have indicated,
comes an accurate estimate of the
value of the property. This begins
with the value OF the land on which
the building is to be erected. The
value of the land depends largely
on the value OF improved property
in the neighborhood. AS to the
value of the building the banker will
be largely guided by the estimates
and calculations of his own archi-
tect, who will see to it no higher
value is placed on the structure than
is warranted.
The very best practice is for the
investment banker to obtain ap-
praisals of property from outside,

bers of Commerce, real estate deal
crs and other experts. Where indie

the buyer OF first mortgage bonds
may be sure that his security is as
good as the banker claims it is.

PLANT MORE ORANGES.

Demands for nursery stock by the
Satsuma orange growers of North
and West Florida are greater than
the present supply in this state, ac-
cording TO reports made by the State
Plant Board of Florida and the Flor
ida Experiment Station.
The report is made in connection
with the request that the State Plant
Board amend rule relating to the
importation of plants from without
the state. Satsuma orange trees
are available in Alabama. Mississippi
and elsewhere, the board says.
In South Florida, the best terri
tory in the world for producing citrus
fruits, there are land owners and
others who hesitate to plant oranges
for fear there will be over production.

out of what is widely viewed as

Attorney General Daugherty's fit
ness for the position he holds, news
papers are protesting against the
! lack of dignity and apparent lack of
/ purpose that have so far character
lied the hearings on the Keller

For Representative Keller himself
and his attitude in the matter there
is scant sympathy AS the Mime

ten the words and music of his DO
litical farce The impeachment Of At
torncy General Daugherty,' he now
abandons his stellar role of the even
ger. because the judiciary committee
won't put the piece on the way he
wrote it" And 1t is generally agreed
that while, as Mr.. Keller says, the
hearings have become a comic opera
performance, the Port Huron Times
Herald Qnd) expresses the general
estimate when it says that the Min
nesOta representative has himself be-
come the chief comedian"

sion to draw is that either Mr.. kel-
Ter had a poor case or else he has
handled it very poorly" AS in the

the Roanoke World News Oem.),
insists that III spite of the many sins
of his administration, he has done
nothing that justified Representa-
tive Keller in the course he has pur
sued Having brought more or less
serious charges against the Attorney
General" the Huntington Herald

Instead, however, as the Mobile Reg

course" leads to the conclusion that
in his prosecution of the case "he has
run short of information of sufficient
Importance to command the respect
of the committee"
AS viewed by papers in his own
state Mr.. Keller was putting up n

as the Duluth Herald Qnd.) has it.
Instead of submitting to the usual
form of questioning under oath" the
former paper says. Mr. Keller want
ed 70 make a political speech before
the committee without being sworn,
and the members quite rightly called

was merely running true to form, the
Minneapolis Tribune (Rep.) suggests.

| Qnd.) inquiries, why didn't he stand
his ground and have it out on the
spot?" Instead of doing so, however,
the Detroit Free Press Und.) says,
he chose to impeach the whole COM
mittee along with the attorney gen
eral without proof and thereby asks
the country to strain Credullty by be
lieVing that he is the only honest man
in the lot" Certainly the prosecu-
ton could not make out stronger
case, if it has one. than by producing
its evidence and allowing the public
to judge whether or not the commit
tee is prejudiced in Daugherty's faT-
or" the Kansas City Journal (Rep.)
thinks, rather than by saying to the
committee. 'if YOU do not agree to
convict we VIII not produce all our
evidence"
Nevertheless Nthe Knoxville Sentinel
ill., Dem.) contends that the COM
mitSee should either have treated Mr.
Keler's charges seriously or it should
have dismissed them summary.
They are either too grave to trifle
with or they are too preposterous to
entertain any way" The New York
Globe Qnd.) holds that Mr.. Vol
etead's committee has been neither
diligent, fair, nor thorough" and if
they want the sanction of logic and
justice TO proceeding with the
Daugherty Investigation they should
take the first step by reforming their
methods and making amends for their
past inactivity"
To the Indianapolis Star DAD. Rep.)
Representative Keller appears to
have had poor advice and to have

position" and while ANY one can
make blanket assertions of high
crimes and misdemeanors, that is no
reason why he should be permitted to
do So" and lit is unfortunate that
public official is not afforded better
protection against such attacks"
While the Cleveland News RepO de-
fines IAN impeachment as merely an
accusation" many other papers hold
with the Manchester Union Und.
Rep) that lit is not a triflinG matter
to subject a high official of the gov
ernment to the test of impeachment,
and it should never be undertaken eX-
cept under the most compelling Cir
cumstances." Impeachment of

Bulletin Qnd. Rep) lis one of the
most solemn acts that lie within the
constitutional powers of congress"
and the "undignified incidents" that
have marked the Daugherty proceed
ings thus far the New York Post
Und.) finds better suited to a police
court than an impeachment" That
course, the Post continues, lis the
great weapon provided for the pun
ishment of high officials who have
been guilty of grave misconduct"
and Ito resort to it upon insufficient
grounds or in a partisan spirit savors
of persecution"
Certainly impeachment is, or should
be. a solemn charging of misconduct
in office, the New York Tribune
(Rep) agrees. and the effort to con-
vert 1t into a weapon of mere mud
singing constitutes vicious per-
version of constitutional procedure"

1t is not an uncommon practice
| for the investment banker to guar
antee to his clients that the stru,-
ture will be completed. This pro
teCtS them against loss. Not H.,

pany is required to furnish an in

tract, guaranteeing that it will CARY

building securing any real estat"
mortgage bond issue must be fully
protected at all times by fire insur-

benefit of bond holders, in case the
property is damaged or destroyed
by fire.
I have already spoken, in pre-
vious article, about the work OF the
investment banker in seeing that
taxes and insurance premiums are
promptly paid by the borrower. If
taxes are not paid they become a
lien against the property and the
city could, under certain conditions,
sell the property for the tax debt
Hence the investment banker must
exercise an unceasing vigilance 10

On the whole, the process of max

The necessary safeguards are PC
fectly plain and unquestionably e.
fective provided that they a.e

by experienced men. The invest

is by no means through with his
work when he sells the bonds. The
safety of his investors depends on
his care and watchiulncss during
the entire lie of the loan as well as
the skill with which he negotiated
the loan in the first place.
