WHERE THE MONEY
is AND WHO HAS 1T

Savings deposits in banks in the
United States now approximate the
stupendous total of IS billion dol
lars, deposited by little more than
80 million persons. In 1914 the
total of savings deposits was five bill
lion dollars, deposited by eleven mil
lion persons. Savings accounts are
now considerably more than three
times the totals of pre-war days
while the number of depositors is
quite bit less than three times as
many.
This savings total, equal to more
than all the money deposited in all
the national banks represents largely
the savings of persons Of small or
moderate means. The total of all
deposits in the 10000 banks in the
United States is about A billion dol
lars. OF this twenty-seven billion
dollars is in the 22,0S0 state banks
and seventeen billion dollars in the
8,220 national banks. In New
England, 65 per cent of all bank de-
posts are in savings accounts; 81
per cent on the Pacific coast; 36 per
cent in the south; AZ per cent in the
east central states; As per cent in
the Middle Atlantic states; 38 per
cent in the west central states.

people is also shown in the

danger points and not in accord with
the Sipero plan.
In discussing the matter after re-
turning home Mr.. Line said he
thought there was some lack OF
understanding among the men com
posing the state farm bureau and the
leaders in the Potato Exchange, but
even SO there needed to be an open
discussion Of the contract and work
ing plans and an endorsement of
them by both farmers and business
men of experience. Overtures that
were made looking to a conference
of the representatives of the diff
ferent organization and interests
had not met with proper response at
first, and then after the logical op-
portunity had passed, the farm
bureau had been invited to sit In the
matter. In the meantime they had
gone over the matter alone and were
in doubt about some phases of the
plans and declined to endorse them
in their present form, but felt that
with some alterations and perhaps
slight alterations they could endorse
it and join in putting the plans into
operation.

SOUND MONEY AND
FAKE MONEY

The long-threatened collapse OF
German finance seems to have come
Before the war a German mark was
worth about a quarter of dollar
Now anybody who wants such trash
can buy several million marks for q
dollar. The German people are driven
to provide substitute of some kind
or stop doing business and let their
whole economic structure fall to
pieces.
Widespread ruin is inevitable.
Germans whose property is in the
form of mere money now have moth
ing. Yet the tragedy is so instruc-
tive, to Germany and the rest of the
world, that possibly this tremendous
example of the evils of money in
flation is worth while.
1t has been urged many time in
this country that the way to increase
prosperity was to manufacture
money in large quantities and dump
it into circulation. That is exactly
what Germany did. She dumped in
millions of paper marks, then bill
lions, then trillions. And strange to
say, the more of that nominal
money was provided to do business
with, the less actual money there
was. When the imitation started,
the German money in circulation was
worth several hundred millions Of
dollars. With every increase in
volume, it's total value or purchas-
ing power grew less. Now all of the
trillions of marks outstanding could
be bought for a few millions of
American dollars.
The dollars are worth infinitely
more than the marks simply because
they represent, and have represented
all along, actual gold. Our bank
to pay-have meant
what they said. Our money has been
real money while German money was
fiat money"
1t is established with crushisg GER
tainty, by the experience of Germany,
on top of general European exper-
fence, that money can not be made
out of nothing. That should silence
the American advocates of fiat
for generation, at least.

TRUST NOT SUCH TRUSTS

A stock-selling scheme tina
worked disastrously for many victims
of irresponsible oil promoters is ap
pearing in different parts of the
country in selling other kinds Of
stocks. Questionable promoters are
offering stock in common law trusts
in an attempt to evade Blue Sky laws
which apply to selling stock in cor
porations. The greater danger tC
persons buying stock in irresponsible
common-law trusts is not that they
may lose all they pay for the stock,
but that they also may be liable and
sued for debts contracted by the
trustees.
The common law trust is not a
corporation. 1t is an agreement
among several persons whereby one
or more persons, usually three, are
named as trustees to accept the
stockholders money and run the
business. Usually they have COM
plete control over the business and
disposition of it's money and prop
erty and can spend, or contract
debts, without interference from
stockholders. If they are dishonest
or incompetent the stockholders may
lose what they put into the stock.
and in addition, courts have held
such stockholders responsible for
debts or obligations contracted by
the trustees. The double loss comes
on to the stakeholder, not the
trustees.
When an unwary investor buys
stock in fraudulent corporation
his loss is embraced in the amount
he puts in the stock. Creditors of
the corporation cannot come to him
to make good their claims against
the corporation. But common law
trust is entirely different. Common
law trusts are business device that
has, and still does serve honest bust
ness purposes, but, like every other
device of law or society, it has been
twisted by swindlers and frauds to
suit their evil purposes. Before in
vesting even the smallest sum, do as
the great life insurance executives do,
obtain the counsel of an established,
investment banker, or o,
some honest, successful, conservative |
man in your community. No good
investment security will spoil, mol
matter how eager the salesman is to
stampede you into acting at once.

handled. Mr.. Bassett, the organizer
advised that the revised plans wOult
be of the press in day or two ant
that they would be little differen
and might be Acceptable.
Mr.. Bergman and his committee
were instructed to study the new
edition and report back to the clul
as soon as possible, and in the mean
time, the club went on record as be
ing in favor of the exchange and
promised to send out men to attend
the meetings and help with the or
agnizing and getting the contracts
signed when approved by the com
mittee.
When the new edition appeared
Mr.. Bergman submitted 1t to At
tOrney John w. Jones for advice on
paragraph or two and he advised
that it needed some notifications to
make it legal and sound. Mr.. Berry
man conferred with Mr.. Bassett
about it and he is quoted as having
agreed to have a conference with
their lawyer about it. That was
about q month ago, and nothing came
OF Mr.. Bassett's promise to confer
with the lawyer over the points OF
difference.
When Mr.. Bassett left and Mr.. Hill
came out from Colorado to take his
place, Mr.. Bergman talked to him
about the same matter, and ex-
pressed disapproval of the action OF
the Colorado exchange in consign-
ing the farmers contracts to
potato dealer. Mr.. Hills explana-
ton of it was not quite in accord
ance with the current press reports,
and he promised to send Mr.. Berry
man a copy of that contract between
the Colorado exchange and the
dealer, Weyl-Zacke company,
and was to get the copy into their
hands in a day or two, sending it
from Idaho Falls. Considerable time
has elapsed and nothing has come of
the promise to exhibit the contract
showing just what was done in
Colorado. The committee has not
yet reported back to the club, be-
cause they have not made any pro-
gress since the meeting when they
were instructed to go on with the
work. In the meantime, the club has
not sent out any men to help with
the organization and contracts, be-
cause they were in doubt as to the
conditions. In some respects the
Colorado deal looked like taking ad-
vantage of the farmers after they
had signed, and anything that looks
like consignment is considered al
most equal to a surrender. Mr.. Hill
promised to show the committee that
the contract protects the grower
quite fully and at last accounts he
had not done so.
1t is said that near the close of
the meeting at the court house last
Saturday evening, after the writer
had left there was a period of ques-
lions and answers, and that Mr.. Hill
said some things that weakened his
position somewhat and m c
thoughtful men hesitate. 1t is said
that someone in the audience asked
what they were going to do about it.

STATUS OF THE IDAHO
POTATO EXCHANGE

A peculiar situation has arisen II
the work of organizing the Idaho
Potato Exchange, and the uncer.
tainty that has prevailed for some
time concerning it, deserves an ex-
PLANTATION.
Mr.. Pendlebury and his associates
secured the services of Aaron Sipero
who gave addresses here and con-
WINGED people that the Sipero plans
will fit the potato problem as they
have other commodities. Following
his visit, it was proposed to have
speakers follow up and build an or
ganization strictly on the Sipero
plan. Printed plans were secured
and distributed for study in this
locality, and at a special meeting
of the Blackfoot Commercial club,
a couple of hours study was devoted
to the printed plans by which 1t was
proposed to conduct the Idaho Potato
Exchange.
At that meeting some differences
of opinion developed regarding stor-
age of potatoes in cellars owned and
controlled by the growers, and the
method for handling the responsible
ity for loss of the potatoes when
money had been advanced on them
A difference Of opinion arose as to
whether the growers should sign
contracts first and then write the
constitution and bylaws afterwards
or reverse it, and w. F. Bergman.

to that effect.

Mr.. Hill was quoted also, as re.
marking that the banks OF Black1oo'
are not very friendly to the ex-
change. and that one of the bankers
had told him that In cases where the
farmer had mortgaged his potato
crop to the bank and signed 10 SCI,
thru the exchange, his bank wouio
not interfere, but would allow the
exchange to go on with their orderly
marketing plans. He is quoted as
adding that IL any bank sought to
interfere in such case, the grower
ought to just go to the BANKER ana
tell him he could have the potatoes
to do as he pleased with, and IN sucn
event, the banker would not know
what to do with them any more than
has the farmer known what to 40
with potatoes.
The writer was not present ana
cannot quote these matters from per-
sonal knowledge, but our inference
and understanding is that Mr.. Hill
meant to suggest breaking faith or
breaking relations with the banker.
