NO BOON IN
CHEAP MONEY

One thing that has to be given up
is the idea that cheap money is al
ways good for business. Farmers
want cheap money, business men
want cheap money, stock spectators
want cheap money, the U. S. Treasury
wants to float government loans on
cheap money, socialists, anarchists
and old-line greenbackers want very,
very cheap money. Everybody feels
that when the money rate is showed
up it is an arbitrary damper on pros
perity.
But we cannot have both low rate
on money and stable level of prices.
We can have one or the other-not
both together for any length of time.
A low rate Of money means an in
1ated price level. A stable price
level means fuctuating rate Of dis
count That is, the public must learn
to look at the price level instead of
the bank reserves, as their measure
of expectation for rise or fall Of the
value Of money.
Now this fact makes me feel that
mistake is made if we do not fully ex-
plain to the public the power already
exercised by the bank rate and the
Federal Reserve Board and Reserve
banks Our bankers and economists
see the bad use that is likely to be
made of political control If banking
and currency and they try to make the
people believe that so intricate Ques-
ton must be left to experts.
AS a matter of fact our present
methods encourage the very thing we
wish to avoid. We let everybody be-
lieve that low rates on money are nee
essary for prosperity and then when
bank reserves run low on account OF
the effects of this belief, we are sud
denly compelled to jump the rates to
protect the reserves. We get both
cycle of prices and a cycle OF bank
rates, whereas, If the public under
stood that the rise of bank rates
should not wait until bank reserves
are low, but the rates should be ad-
yanced several months ahead for the
very purpose of preventing fictitious
prosperity with it's inflated price level,
then the public might be satisfied to
support the administrative regulations
which raise the rates at time when
there seems to be no need OF doing
it-John R. Commons, University OF
Wisconsin.

THE MORTALITY OF
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

The Savings Banks Association OF
Massachusetts has issued tabulation
made by mutual savings bank in an
average New England town showing
that, of the accounts opened during
six months period, IS to 80 per cent
were open at the end of the period.
At the end of the next six months
about 70 per cent were open. At the
end of one year about so per cent
were open; at the end Of Is months
about So per cent; at the end of three
years about SO per cent; and then the
figure rather steadily declined by to
per cent of the original number
each year. At the end Of ten years
about 25 per cent of the accounts were
still open. After that the changes were
very small, mostly on account of death

Federal Reserve Copied

Peru is the first country in Latin
America to reorganize its banking
system according to Federal Reserve
principles by the enactment of the
Federal Reserve Act of Peru to de-
velop the country's resources along
modern lines of financing. Peru's new
banking system is modelled after the
United States Federal Reserve, with
notifications such as the banking
conditions and general financial sit
uation there require. 1t provides for
the creation of Federal Reserve
Bank in Peru The directorate of this
bank is to be composed of nine mem
bers, three of whom are to be desig
mated by the Government and the
other six are to be elected by the
member banks.

Banks are said to deal in credit.
The word "credit" has various mean
ings. When you deposit money, your
account receives "credit" for that
amount When man borrows money
on his note at the bank, he is granted
credit" When railroad, a manu-
featuring concern, town, or a gov
eminent, issues bonds, it uses its
credit" When anyone buys goods
without paying cash, at the time of
purchase, credit" is granted. With
out credit, our present day business
system could not exist.
Credit is possible only where peo-
pie have confidence in each other,
and confidence can exist only where
good character exists. Every success
full business man looks upon his credit
standing as a most valuable asset,
and he maintains it by square dealing.
To get credit man must pay his
debts, or it socn becomes known he is
not of good character and not worthy
of confidence Those from whom he
would buy refuse to trust him and the
banks decline to grant him credit.
Then come business failure and long
uphill fight to get on his feet again
and live down the past.
More Than Honesty Needed
Honesty is not the only factor in
yoIyed in credit For instance, Mr..
Jones, man of forty, of excellent
morals, who has enjoyed a fair III
come for many years, sees an oppor-
tunity to purchase a business. He
REQUIRES financial assistance. He calls
on banker and asks for the neces-
sary credit. The banker asks the ma
ture of the business, what it will cost,
and what Mr.. Jones can command in
ready money, or other resources, but
learns that he has no money or prop
erty of his own.
It is clear that Mr.. Jones lacks
ability to manage his affairs wisely.
He has not had enough strength OF
character to save money by adapting
expenses to income, and therefore has
not proved that he could make finan-
CHI pIOSI0SS. MIL OOfOA' II AAAOAA w
not invest some of their own money
in the business they usually lack in
centive and become easily discour-
aged. It would be unwise for anyone
to assume such financial risk, and
Mr.. Jones probably would fail to get
credit from the bank He must give
up his opportunity to some one else
who has saved money.
Banks are public servants, but that
does not obligate them to serve those
who are unfair in business or lack
ing in the great principles underly-
ing success. To be known as care
full and thrifty person is the best
assurance that the bank will extend
financial help when needed.
Many people think that one should
shun debt like the measles. They
fail to distinguish between wise and
unwise debt 1t is wise to use credit,
that is, go into debt, to buy home.
Such debt encourages thrift stu
dent may wisely borrow money need
ed to complete his education 1t is
an investment that should pay divi-
dends in greater success. Another
wise use of credit is borrowing
to buy good bonds, such as Liberty
Bonds, paying $40 down, borrowing
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-10-25

$50 from the bank, and paying it off
out of savings.
When to Shun Debt
There are circumstances, however,
under which one should never borrow
money. Never incur debt in spec
ulative venture. OF THE PEOPLE
WHO SPECULATE, NINETY-F FIVE
PER CENT LOSE Neither should
debts be incurred to purchase plea
sure-giving possessions. Such debts
are millstones around the necks Of
countless families.
Progressive banks adhere to the
same standards they exact of their
patrons. Their business methods
must be beyond reproach. They exs
clude business of doubtful reputation
and have no part in the feverish
struggle for sudden wealth. Well
managed banks are regarded with
great respect, and hold place of
ever increasing Importance.
Some thoughtless persons criticize
banks for not making loans more
freely but it must be remembered
that banks business is to receive
deposits as well as to grant loans,
and it is therefore the trustee of
money belonging to others. 1t must
safeguard it's depositors' funds and
so control them as to be always ready
to return them intact upon demand
That requires great care in granting
credits.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXVII.-FLORIDA
T FLORIDA
S l11s health resort.
wv s5ssss2ess<SW 1t was the
NsS ~ search for
SSowE - mythical
Fountain Of Perpetual Youth
that led Ponce de Leon, the
Spanish explorer, to land near
the present site of st. Augustine.
His rediscovery of Florida in
1913 was on Easter Sunday,
hence the name, which is from
Pascua Florida or Flowery Pass
over, which is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday.
The French were the next set
tiers, founding a colony on the
st. Johns river. Spain promptly
took action to maintain her own
ership of this region and sent
over an expedition which erected
a fort under the leadership of
Menendez at st. Augustine in
1865 and exterminated the Huge
not colony. st. Augustine is the
Oldest city In the United States.
There followed a period of hos
tility between the English col
onists in the Carolinas and the
Spanish in Florida. BY the trea-
ty of 1853 Spain coded Florida
to England in exchange for Ha-
vana, which England had cap
tured a few years previous. 1t
remained an English colony un-
til the last years of the Revolu-
ton when Spain recaptured it.
There were two provinces,
East and West Florida. AS the
Spanish ruled Florida with a
very loose form of government,
this region became the refuge of
pirates, smugglers and lawless
characters. Such an element to-
gether with the unruly Seminole
Indians naturally caused a great
deal of trouble. To overcome
this, President Monroe pur-
chased Florida from Spain in
1919 for 100000 or about
eleven cents an acre. 1t was
organized into a territory and
in 1915 was admitted to the I'm
ION.
Florida is sometimes called
the Eyerglade State on account
of the vast swamp-land in it's
southern part. It is also known
as the Peninsula State aid is the
southernmost State Of the Union.
It's area is 5S,660 square miles.
