Roger w. Babson Finds Agricultural West
in Good Condition

MINNEAPOLIS. March D.
Last week We quoted Roger W.
Iiabson relative 10 conditions la
the Industrial West" This
week Mr.. Babson treats Of the
agricultural West.
'Tho agricultural West" be says.
"is confronted with a fundamental
law which II this the consumption
per capita Of wheat decreases as a
people becomes more prosperous.
The business man eats less wheat
than his chauffeur the chauffeur
eats less than tho Italian gardener.
and the gardener eats Tess than tho
immigrant who has just landed.
Each generation OF a given family
eats lsas wheat than the preceding
generation. and 30 Il goes.
This law does not apply 70 cot
ton. sugar. rubber and certain other
products. II does not 10 much
apply 70 corn. which 10 fed 10 live
stock. because an people become
moro prosperous they eat moro
meat. and they consume more col.

not mean there D. no hope for the
wheat growers. but II does mean
that tho wheat growers have a
more difficult problem than the
growers 81 most other products.

serve banking system by Arthur
*. Truax, cashier Of the first
National Bank Of Seattle.
Following the various issues %

colonies we have the revolutionary
bills Of credit. called continental

authority viii suffice for them:
From THIS time the demon %

inhabitants Tho issues ran on. IN
au Increasing volume. till ihsy
amounted 70 two hundred and forty
two million dollan in the year
1873 In 1881 the whole mass be-
came worthless On this subject
the essays Of Pelatiah Webster have
become classic. Mr. Webster was
a merchant Of Philadelphia and IA
ardent patriot. lie wrote while tho
papermonsy experiment was going
on. We can readily believe hin
when be says: We have suffered
more from this than from every
other cause OF calamity: II has
killed more men. peryaded and coz
rupted the choicest interests Of our
country more. and done more IN
Justice than even the arms and artl.
fees Of our enemies"
The socalled Ereenbacks were the
next currency Issued by the gog-
eminent. They were used 10 H.
nance In part the civil war. While
they deprecated In value severely
they did not become worthless ard
arc now worth par because the
amount put into circulation was not
excessive. and finally In 1861 con-
gress passed a law limiting the Issue
70 $50 million dollars.
You will observe that at last
our early legislators scem 10 have
learned some OF The principles OF
.ound economics.
so far we have considered only the
paper money issued by the govern
mental agencies. Unfortunately tho
people were subjected to still further
losses and hardshlps az a result OF
the numerous issues Of currency put
out by companies and the early
banks. The novel scheme OF issuing
money secured by land was trked ana
failed.
In the state OF New York two new
banking ideas were first developed.
the safety fund system, or mutual
insurance Of circulating notes. ana
the free bank or bond deposit sys-
TEN. for securing circulating notes,
which was the precursor Of the
national banking system.
The safety fund sy1tem al first
glance seems strangely like the late
state bank guaranty fund OF tho
state OF Washington. Every member
hank payed into a fund u OF per
cent Of its capital until the amount
paid equalled per cent OF it's cap
iial. This law WINS passed In 1899.
and while many banks operating un.
der II failed. their circulating NOTES
were all paid eventually in full. Cam
a"h adoptcu ikliS plan IN 1880 and TX
stu remains in force there.
Under the free bank system, which
was established in 1888. any person
or association OF persons could re.
ceive hank notes from the state

might issue them as money. provided
they first deposited with him United
States bonds or bonds Of the state OF
New York or real estate mortgages
az security for the bank notes. About
the time this system had become PER-.
fected In New York by eliminating
all security but government bonds
and in other ways. the national bank
law was enacted.
