to function as the nations financial
capital.
A recent investigation as to the
origin Of one hundred leading execu-
tives in the New York financial dis
trict, showed that no less than sixty
per cent were born outside New YORK
State, that no less than twenty-eight
per cent were born in towns Of 5000
or less, and only twenty per cent were
born in New York City.
The birthplaces Of these men rep
resented Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Michigan, Mia
souri,, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware.
Vermont, Mississippi, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida
Rhode Island, North Carolina, lndi-
ana, Wisconsin, Georgia, California,
Montana, Maine, West Virginia, New
Jersey and the District Of Columbia.
The same situation Is true of the
younger men, particularly in the
banks. This reflects more than mere
ly the attraction Of the big city for
ambitious young men. Il is the result
Of the definite purpose Of New York
banking to equip itself to perform
most effectively It's work for all the
nation.
A brief description of the mechan-
ISM of the nations banking system
will make this clear. Many of the
New York banks are bankers banks.
They are great reservoirs Of credit in
which banks throughout the country
deposit unemployed funds in New
York. When crop needs in rural dis
tricts or industrial expansion in man
ufacturing centers increase local re-
quirements for money these local
banks call in their funds from New
York and in addition may ask the big
city banks for loans.
Country banks frequently deposit
as security the notes of their own GUS
toners, often secured, in turn, by farm
capital such as ploughs, livestock and
other possessions. The fifty thousand
dollar note, for instance, of country
bank in a big New York bank may
have attached, as collateral security,
fifty or a hundred small notes Of
hundred dollars up to a thousand
or more, signed by local farmers and
their wives. Into one Of the biggest
New York banks comes in this way
from the South each crop season a
small note secured by plough and
harrow and a mule named Molly
an incident that has been aptly de-
scribed as 1.-THE Minting Of Molly"
It is one among many securing large
inter-bank credit.
Thus is big banking in New York
brought close to the plain people Of
the soil-thus does it finance their
humble husbandry-and thus has it
felt the need of recruiting its officers
from among men familiar and sympa-
thetic with local conditions-able to
visualize the needs Of the people there
and pass sound judgment on the
credit factors involved.
It is due to the conditions thus pic
tured that among the officers Of New
York's banks will be found represen.
tatives from all parts Of the nation
They are the delegates Of the people
at the business capital.

GERMAN citizens Pay 81 Taxes.

particularly good. The 1918 mort
gage Is now due,-20,000 marks are
to be paid. Marks are quoted 10000
to the dollar. TW enty-thousand
marks, one-sixth Of that, therefore
equal one-sixth OF a dollar,-16 %
cents. On the theory that "a mark
is a mark" the debtor could wipe off
his $4,000 mortgage for 16 % CENTS
less than the value of a dozen eggs.
That is, he can unless the pipe
dream comes to a sudden end. For
one thing the German courts are ruh
ing that the theory "a mark is mark"
doesn't go,-that debtor has to give
back fair equivalent for what he re-
ceived and that present paper marks
worth 10000 to the dollar are not
the fair equivalent Of former gold
marks at four to the dollar.

INTERSTATE RATE HEARING
CLOSED ON SATURDAY

The intra-state rate hearing at
Phoenix which began on Monday of
last week closed on Saturday after
no onwith the introduction of several
rulings of the interstate commerce
commission The introduction of
these decisions caused quite little
excitement as it seems they were
somewhat of a surprise to some of
those interested in the hearing.
The principal matters brought be-
fore the corporation commission in
the hearing just closed had to do
with the arbitrary charges exacted
by the carriers nthe state for two
or more line hauls and which the rate
experts and shippers claim are eX-
hOrbitant and much higher than is
charged in other states, and the
higher rate charged for freight hand
led in the state over thae charged on
other states for a like distance. The
decisions by the interstate commerce
commission introduced dealt with both
these questions. In the case of the
arbitrary charge the commission
held that the rail companies could
not charge more than 4 cents per
hundred weight as an arbitrary
charge for two or more line hauls
instead of the Is to 25 cents now
charged. One Of the decisions also
held that since the Southern Pacific
held the controlling interests in the
Arizona Eastern, for rate making
purposes, it must be considered a
branch line of the Southern Pacific,
and that no arbitrary charge should
be added.
The other decisions on the dis
tance charge hold that a higher
charge could not be exacted from
Arizona points midway between them
and the California points than was
the midway points. 1t would seem
two of the main contentious in the
intra- state hearing, and to the ad-
vantage of the shippers and consum-
ers of the state.
In their defense testimony the
rail companies contended that they
were justified in maintaining rates
in Arizona 80 per cent higher than
in other states because of the Mem
s-SOuthwestern decisions of the
interstate commerce commission and
because of the 1716 scale set down by
the commission about 10 years ago
which established rates in Oklahoma
and Texas and other southwestern sta
tes and also by decision of the COM
mission establishing rates on livestock
between Phoenix and Los Angeles on
a basis of 80 per cent increase.
Briefs in the case are to be filed
with the commission by both sides not
later than October Is.

peated to meet the demands of the
consumer. It seems quite clear that
the recession in business applies al
most entirely to orders.
"The activity of trade and volume
of production is undoubtedly very
great, as witness the car loading fig
ures, which for the whole month Of
June exceeded a million cars a week.
In New England strikes in the shoe
industry have hampered production,
and there is more or less general
curtaiIment in cotton mills, although
southern mills in many cases are
running nights. In cotton textiles
orders have decreased markedly, al
though stocks are admittedly low.
The mills are unwilling, with such a
wide divergence of opinion as to the
future price range of cotton, o pile
up unsold goods.

ager, reported to the Arizona Indus

EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH
ERN CALIFORNIA

Practically all of Southern Calf
ornia was shaken by an earthquake
Monday night at lips o'clock, the
center of which seemed to be in and
about San Bernardino. The latter
city was the hardest hit of any place
in the district. Considerable dam
age was done at that point and
three persons were reported injur-
ed. Reports from Redlands, River
side and other nearby points also
reported some damage done. The
shock was reported at Los Angeles,
San Diego, Long Beach and at prac-
tically every town and city in South
ern California. Total damage is re-
ported to be in the neighborhood of
half million dollars. One of the
most serious cases of damage was
at the state hospital for the insane
at Patton where a ten foot hole was
torn in the brick walls of the build
ing and other damage done to the
buildings. 1t was reported to be
necessary to remove over 500 of the
inmates from the building and it was
a problem to know what to do with
them. Damage was done to the Hall
of Records in San Bernardino and
to one of the school buildings aside
from damage Of slight nature to
many other buildings. A large am
cunt Of glass was broken in the
windows of the city. One case OF
injury was caused when the shock
knocked the steering wheel out of
the hand of a driver near East High
lands causing the machine to go
over SO foot cliff inluring one of
the occupant.

TIDE WATER FRANCHISE
GRANTED BY BIG
MAJORITY

The citizens of Phoenix, by a ma
cial election last week, said they
wanted the Tucson, Phoenix, and
Tidewater railroad to be given the
franchise it was asking for through
the city of Phoenix. The totals in
the vote were, 1925 for, and 2z6
against the franchise, making a ma
jority Of 1929 in favor of the fran
chise From this expression of SEN
timent it would seem that Phoenix
is anxious to have through railroad
system. And while Mr.. Douglas,
who is asking for the franchise, has
not made definite promise that the
road will be built, he has said that
in case the franchise was granted,
he would do all nhis power to have
the road put through. And that
makes it almost certain that it will
be built, for Mr.. Douglas not only
has means of his own, but is IN
touch and connected with some OF
the big money interests of the coun-
try will no doubt be able to get the
necessary capital to put his road
through. The through line will not
only mean much to Phoenix but it
will be a great thing for other parts
of the country. AS has been point
ed out by Mr.. Belts, of the corpora
ton commission, it will give
through line into the north west
from Texas and other southeastern
points that will be much shorter
than the present line through South
ern California, which will not only
enable the shippers Of the southwest
to ship quicker but cheaper into the
northwest. And it will work just as
we'll vice versa enabling shippers OF
the northwest to ship to Arizona
and Texas points quicker and cheap
er than at present.
The present plans of the company
is to build a road from Tucson to
Phoenix, distance of 120 miles, at
| an approximate cost of S2,500,0OO,
via Florence, Chandler, and Mesa.
No definite date for the beginning of
actual construction of the road has
been named as yet, but Mr.. Douglas
| has made the statement that he ex-
pected to have the dirt flying before
Christmas, if the people OF Phoenix
granted the franchise. A forfeiture
clause in the franchise calls for the
construction and operation OF the
entire line from Tucson to Phoenix
within two years after the adoption
of the ordinance. Failure to comply
with this requirement, excepting de-
lays due to causes beyond the con-
troll of the company, will automati-
cally render the ordinance null and
void. So, it is believed that work
will be started on the new road
within a very short time.
While nothing definite has been
said as to the connecting lines, it is
the belief that the new line will con-
meet the Ell Paso and Southwestern
which terminates at Tucson and the
Santa Fe at Phoenix, thus giving a
through line from Chicago and other
eastern points to the coast. That
would mean, it is thought, the diver
ting of the through Rock Island
trains as we'll as the through freight
of the same road, through Phoenix.
Hence, it is confidently believed, that
Phoenix will be on a through rail
way line within the next two years
