National Banks Can't
Start Branch Banks

Washington, D. G. - National banks
are forbidden by law from engaging
in the branch banking business, even
within the cities in which they are
located, Attorney General Daugherty
holds in an opinion explained TO-DAY t.
the joint congressional banking COM
mission by Comptroller of the Cur
rency Dawes.
Such banks may, however, extend
facilities for receiving deposits and
cashing checks within the limits of
the city. Comptroller Dawes referred
to these facilities as "tellers' windows"
and intimated that no other functions
such as making loans or purchasing
securities should be carried on at
these windows,

pect good roads to travel on. We can't
build brick without straw | am not by
nature religious man, but | would be
willing to pray that all the pavement
which has been built j in the last fifteen
years would be taken up to heaven
some Saturday afternoon and then the
100000 automobiles in the state turned
loose on those old COW trails for over
Sunday. The voters would then wake
up to a full realization Of what has
been done by way of road building
during those years. M
"The saving Of. one cent mile on
the cost of operation of these automo-
biles which run two billion miles a
year on these highways, would amount
to $20,000,000. Just give us this actual
dividend to work with and we will
shortly pave every road in the state,
But we can't even get a fraction Of
this actual dividend to work with with
out raising howl from the taxpayers.
eve must learn to include in the
price of buying cars, the price of road
service, which is economically an in
vestment which pays actual dividends.
"Four years ago when we put high
way 72 on the state system there was
wall went up. People in this county
said that the road led nowhere and
served no one in particular. Tonight
when there is even rumor that it was
to be pruned, we discover that the road
has number of friends who are will
ing to fight for it.
"The people in this state spend an
nually about S2oO,o0O,000 for automo-
biles and only about $35,000,000 all
told for building and maintaining ev-
cry road in the state. If we could put
a tax of cents a gallon on the price
of gasoline we would raise over &c.
100000 which could all go to the build
ing of roads Then we would be get
ting somewhere. AS it is, the highway
business in this state is practically at
a standstill.
Build Track for Six Per Cent.
rSuch "a tax as this, together with
all other road taxes, would only
amount to about go of the cost Of OPP
Grating the cars. Go to any railroad
in the country and offer to build and
maintain their track for go of their
total operating cost and they would
fall on your neck and kiss both cheeks.
But just try it with the taxpayers and
see what happens.
"In our work of building we are
working with a 60-cent dollar. In adj
dition to this the cost of building has
advanced from SO cents square yard
to 1925 since we laid the first strip
of pavement out north of the city here
fifteen years ago.
"Back in those days when we wanted
to talk hard surface road building to
the local government, we always left
the back door open so that if things
got too hot for us we would be able
to escape. Times have changed that,
but there is lot of education that yes
must be accomplished"

The next most popular period is %
10 20 years, but the figures then skip
back to the teens and the age most
popular following that is Is to 10.
Marriage records in recent years
show a decided falling off the reports
state From a high total of 22,293 in
1920, the number of marriages dropped
to 1879 in 1921 and compilations just
completed by the bureau of vital sta
tistics, under the board of health,
show a further drop to 1850 for
1922. Stress of economic depression
is held accountable.
During 1922, 1924 of the brides and
6,299 of the grooms were between the
ages of 20 to "a. Of the remainder
3,491 brides and 6,023 grooms were

years of age. One bride was under
Is years.
The statistics show that 1929 of the
grooms and 1909 of the brides had
been widowed and $50 grooms and 624
brides had been divorced, in 14,435
marriages both parties were native
born; in 1,212 both were foreign born.
In more than 1000 of the others one
Of the parties was foreign born.

marriages with 5,075. Next in order
were Dane, with SGT; Winnebago, with
521; Racine, ATS; Sheboygan, 473;
Marathon, 452; Brown, 429, and Fond
i>du Lac, 422. Florence county had the

Protect Herds from
Imported Infection

Washington, D. C. DR.. R. J. Mob
Ter, chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry of the department Of agricul-
tare, stressed the need of, more ade-
quate protection Of dairy herds against
infection from imported cattle at the
morning session of the National Dairy
Congress. 1t is desirable, he said,
that nations should exchange live
stock to improve breeds but many
herds have been destroyed through in
PRODUCTION of diseased cattle. Inter
national regulations on sanitation, in
spection and health certificates with
quarantine and imported animals,
were suggested that all countries take
cattle census at stated intervals to
show production Of milk and other
dairy products.

This will make the tax amount to about
$6,500,000. Out of this, $3,000,000 must
go for the cost of upkeep of the state
roads, amounting to $500 a mile; an
other $1,500,000 will go to the counties
for the upkeep of the county trunks
and for building long bridges where
state aid is needed. This leaves US
only S1,500,000 for new construction,
then add to this an equal sum from
federal aid and we have $4,000, 900 to
build with. Divide this between the II
counties in the state and Kenosha
county's, share will amount to about
$4,000 year.
with this sum you can add about
one mile of pavement each year, which
will be paid for by the government.
Now if you want to use the roads while
you live, and collect the dividends, it
would be a profitable investment for
the people of this county to bond and
build In the last analysis the problem
Of good roads comes back directly to
the people in each county"
"Buy Track"-Hirst.
Highway Engineer Hirst urged the

idea that roads are legitimate motor

and tires, and that it will save them
money to have it added to the cost Of

solved.

to raise the price ofrthe license fee
and there is an immediate storm Of
protest aroused which Immediately

A MINE THAT WILL MOVE MORE EARTH
 THAN THE PANAMA CANAL.

subscriber tc the Engineering and Mining Jcurnal-Press of New York writes that he has heard that there is a single mine ill which more rock will he moved than moved in digging the Panama Canal. An editor answers that, according 10 the New International Encyclopedia. 900 cubic yards of earth was excavated in the building of the Panama Canal. According to the last annual report of the Utah Copper Cc. which operates huge open-cut mine at Bingham Utah. the total quantity of material -capping and ore-remoyed from the property to the end of 1921 was 145 000.O00 tens, that at the present time the balance is heavily in favor of the Panama Canal. However, Utah Copper is still a young mine Ore estimated at 362,- BIO 900 January l. 1922 which, added to the quantity of already mined 91.697,600 tons, would indicate that the operations at the Utah Copper mine will easily surpass the Panama Canal in size before the deposit is exhausted In fact when the hundreds oi thousands of tens of eappng that remain to be stripped considered the total is probably more than twice the amount of material that moved in building the Panama Canal. In many ways the working of the Utah Copper mine is just spec tacular the construction Of the canal. noun tain is being razed in Utah. and route for the canal had to cut through many treacherous topo- graphical hndrances, from hills swamps Both en- terprises have added greatly the wealth of the world.
