DUN'S REVIEW REPORTS
FEW NEVADA FAILURES

Dun's Commercial Review for
1924, reveals far greater democrat I
iZation of the business interests of .
the United States than could have .
possibly been anticipated at the OPP
lnirg Of business for the year. While
the year was expected to be one of
adjustment, or rather one of read
iustment to meet the new condi-
lions, the review of conditions indi-
cate that the adjustments were by
elimination rather than by a healthy
reconstruction on the sound bust
ness basis that was predicted for the
year.
Dun records a total of 1862
commercial failures for the year en-
,aIling losses we'll up in the millions,
besides jeopardizing the whole com
lnercial fabric of the country
The bank suspensions for 1921,
which naturally followed the whole
sale commercial and industrial
brakedown of the country, were the
largest in the history of the coun-
try; $50 banks were forced to the
| wall with total of $l67,S45,555 of
standing liabilities, not likely to be
| Inundated
The review shows that the agri-
cultural, stock and lumber produc-
ing sections, where the banks made
heavy loans during the preceeding
years of inflated values, when mon
ay was drug on the market were
sections to suffer the greatest loss
The South in the cotton districts
The middle west, the western and
Pacific states show the heavy loss
more than 200 banks having to clos,
iheir doors unable to meet the de
mands with the securities in hand.
To say that Nevada escaped
would be idle braggadocia. While
no serious bank failures are report
ed for the state, there were nine con
mercial failures with a loss of $34
$50, which makes the least show

JUDGE ORR MAKES
IMPORTANT DECISION

AS we go to press we are in re-
ceipt of a copy the decision Judge
w. h. Orr in the German disqali-
flying case of Los Vegas. The case is
one of nation wide attention, being
precedent in passing upon any Of
flcer connected with city under
Commission form of Government.
The case attracted much attention
not alone in Clark county and the
City of Las Vegas, where it was of
local and legal Importance, but in
the various states and cities where
they are being governed under a
commission government. The de
csion is clean and concise and
should become we'll established in
common law under like circum-
stances.
The case as settled by Judge Orr,
should be satisfactory to the city Of
Las Vegas, in that it will remove the
doubt of the legality of any proceed
ings, giving them an opportunity to
validate the actions of importance in
the city affairs.

THE TOO MANY FAILAcY.

The president Of Dartmouth college says
that .too many men are eoinet TO college" Farm
err sometimes complain that tAsir crops are too
large-too many prunes to be dried, too many
apples. Malthus, famous Investigator, many
years ago worked ont the alarming theory that
the time was sure to come when too many
babies would be b0rn-too many babies for the
amount Of food in the world. But the only rea-
son there are too many apples on the trees rs
that there are too few people with money
enough to buy them at good price. And every
one knows that too many babies are not being
born The world has taken care of that. Alarm
lists tell Henry Ford every year that he is max
ing too many automobiles; every year. however,
he proves that il he could have made more
Fords he could have sold them. And the presi-
dent Of Dartmouth ought to know that if he
can only educate the too many men who 90 to
college the country will soon ind use for them.

PUBLIC MIND ON EDGE.

Every evening when you pick up your paper
you expect to ind the answer to the question
that has been appearing for weeks at the head
Of The Argus editorial column-Who Killed
Bill Gabel? You can't understand why that
mystery has not been cleared up long ago. You
have been reading sensational accounts in the
newspapers, but they all stop at the most in
teresting point, just like the magazine serial
story.
Well, you've simply got to be patient. The
Gabel murdeEers might have been captured
months ago we're the proper efforts exerted by
your paid officials. 1t was their manifest resis-
lance to public demand for a show of interest
in the Gabel killing that precipitated the uphea-
val in the city that was climaxed by series Of
tragedies and sensations that astounded the
country and necessitated the personal attention
Of the attorney general OF the state in a final
effort to- clarity the atmosphere and ferret out
and punish those who may have in any way
contributed to the civic destructiveness
You have yeur suspicious to the Gabel
murder. Perhaps they are correct You don't
want to see any innocent persons made to snf-
fer in connection with that crime. 1t is not
likely that they will. There is convincing evil
dence on the Gabel murder in the hands of the
state investigators. 1t is not easy to work up
case where there has been such organized
resistance as there has been in the Gabel MUIR
der. The trail in that case leads to doors that
may not be associated in the mind Of the aver
age citizen. There were others than under
world characters involved in the Gabel muir
der. II Bill Gabel had been spared and had
got before grand jury with his complete story
it is very possible that some persons you don't
now think guilty of criminal offenses would
have been exposed and possibly made to pay
legal penalties for their vicious work
You may think that the state isn't progress
sing as rapidly as 1t should with the work Of
clearing up the local crime and vice situation.
You must not be too anxious for quick results
The Argus has confidence in the state authori-
ties to thoroughly sift the situation and to
make out a case that wilImeet with the approx
al of the good citizenship Of Rock Island Moth
ing more could be asked or hoped for.

The Rock Island city administration is in
sisting upon blue law enforcement in the city
in the hope Of causing bacanre on The Argus
for the part it has been playing in the cam
paign against protected vice and crime. The
Argus doesn't have to apologize to the people
OF Rock Island for the service that it has been
rendering. All The Argus has to say to the dis
appointed ofiicials at the city hall is that they
analyze the returns Of last weeks county cleo
tions and take particular note Of the vote cast
-
in Rock Island for the Offices Of sheriff, treas
ufer and county Judge.
