travellers have on a number of oc-
casions been stuck are to be filled
and the road graded and surfaced and

a great many depositors are COMPEL

their accounts Bankers know this
and chuckle because of the fact that
the depositor is 'stung" While they
may profess to pay four per cent on
the deposit, they know we'll enough
that the net amount they. are paying
on savings deposits will not be three
per cent because of the fact that
many of the savings depositors are
mulched of their interest.
Again a great many banking in
situations are created for the sole
purpose of serving the needs OF the
officers of the bank or of friends who
use the available funds for their own
selfish purposes, leaving the small de-
positors without succor. 1t is the
small men of this world of ours who
need protection, and not the great.
"It is a plain matter of service

here a great bank dedicated to SER
vice and meeting the requirements of
the men and women who go to make
up the working class of this splendid
commonwealth. 1t is the purpose of
those. of us who are interested in the
carrying on of this great banking pro-
gram to scatter as far as possible
the stock among the workers and the
railroad brotherhoods. We should like
to see in Winslow, for examples bank
built around these groups. We should
like to have two hundred stockholders
rather than a half dozen. On this
basis we have erected all of the banks
with which | have been associated
Such was the case with the Engineers
National Bank in Cleveland, The Fed
Grafton Bank of New York City, The
Clerks National Bank in Cincinnati,
The Telepraphers National Bank in
St. Louis, and The Peoples Bank and
Trust Company of Los Angeles. In
the latter institution we have approx
mateIy two thousand shareholders. We
should like to see in Arizona in our
proposed Peoples Bank and Trust
Company a regiment of stockholders.
Wherever a branch of this. bank is
placed, it is our purpose to see that
the stockholdings are widely scattered
and not held in few hands. This
will add greatly to the power of the
institution an our ability to serve.
'In order to prove the unselfishness
of the workers who are behind the
Peoples Bank and Trust company, it
has been determined to open, at an
early date, branch of the Peoples
Bank and Trust Company at Holbrook
to serve the good people of that city.
"a bank can be, in our judgment,
blessing or curse, depending on
the principles which inspire its func-
tioning. We expect to prove in Ari-
IONA that it is possible to have a
bank conservatively managed and
dedicated to the masses. 1t shall not
become the instrument of any special
clique or class. 1t shall be bank
of the people and for the people"
