BANKS IN GEORGIA ARE
GROWING RAPIDLY

ATLANTA, April 10-Banks in At
lanta, banks in Georgia and banks in
the South are growing, growing rapid
ly. A striking illustration of this is
shown in the case of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank of Atlanta, which now
reports total resources of more than
thirty millions of dollars. Branches
are maintained by the bank at five
important points in Atlanta and in one
of the suburbs. The system is reoog-
nized as one of the big leaders in
Southern financial circles. John K. Of
tley, its president, is director in the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, that
covers the states of Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana in the sixth district.
Financiers here point to the fact
that while construction and building &C
tivities are taken as one of the most
conclusive factors in progress banking
must necessarily be included in the
list. A substantial increase in deposits
is shown in all banking reports.

RECAPTURE CLAUSE OF

ATLANTA, Ga, April 9 Rail
road men, and those who have their
money invested in railroads. it was
stated in railroad circles here today.
point to the recent decision of the Su-
preme court of the "recapture" clause
OF the transportation act as marking
an epoch i'll the determination of the
policy OF governmental regulation of
the railroads of the country. It was
further stated that every case so far
carried to the Supreme Court. as to
the constitutionality of the act, has
been upheld.
lhls section of the act provides that
II the net earnings of any individual
railroad, under a general level of rates
established by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to Yield "as near as
may be" fair return on railroad prop
erty IN the aggregate-the definite per
centage of return being determined by
the commission in advance-amount.
ing to more than per cent, on its
property valuation, one half of the ex
cess over 6 per cent, should be paid
back to the government to establish
a fund to be used in the interest of
transportation as a whole.
The "recapture" provisions were the
corollary to the rate making provis-
ions OF the act, for rates to enable the
lines in light traffic territories to sur
vlve would necessarily produce ex-
cessive earning to the smaller number
OF carriers in heavy traffic districts.
10 meet this problem of carriers
differently situated operating under
the same general level of rates. Con-
gress in the act provided for the divi-
sion of the excess earnings of indi
vidual roads resulting from rate lev
ell fixed to adequately sustain the coun
try's transportation system as whole.
The general railroad contingent fund
under the decision is not to be used
for the benefit of the weaker carriers,
it is stated. On the contrary. it is
shown that the fund is to be en-
ployed for the aid of all roads alike
both the strong and the weak.

Seven million persons are suddenly
faced with the impossibility of get
ting about. The underground serv-
ices have not yet Joined in the strug-
gle, but doubtless will follow If the
strike is protracted.
Problem Becoming Acute.
The problem of controlling men
who hold key positions, which enable
them to hold up society, is becoming
acute. The cost Of living is the
chief source Of unrest, but the re-
peated successes Of the men in COM
pelltng concession of their terms by
force undoubtedly is creating a vic
torious frame of mind.
Meanwhile, a great miners strike
is imminent, and prospects Of a set
tlement are unfavorable, owing to
the uneconomic position in large
areas of the mining industry, which
prevents payment of a reasonable
wage.
In the midst of these industrial
disquiets. the labor government moves
doubtfully. In external affairs. Prime
Minister Macdonald has had two con-
spicuous successes. He has made
abandoned the Singapore naval base
scheme in the teeth of admiralty op-
position. The latter proceeding is
generally approved and the rumors
or threatened admiralty designations
have come to nothing. The fact is
that the public is in no humor to be
stampeded into naval panic.
Cruiser Building Criticized.
On the other hand, the decision to
build five cruisers as means of deal
ing with unemployment in the dock
yards, is severely criticized by Mr..
MacDonald's own party, which also is
dissatisfied with his domestic policy
and his failure to deal with the prob
lens of housing and unemployment.
Labor certainly is not discovering
any original gift for allaying social
discontents and the internal con-
flicts in the party suggest that the
existence of the government will not
be prolonged. The rank and file of
the party, who loked for a new
heaven and a new earth with the ad-
vent of the present government, are
suffering keen disappointment and
the communist faction is bordering
on open revolt. Moreover, the lib
erals are finding it increasingly diff
cult to support the party in power,
which treats them with frank hos
tility and works against them cease
lessly in the constituencies. Alto
gether, the prospects of the govern
ments outlasting the summer are
not rosy.

The socialist party (the French

northern and central industrial re-

compels it to seek allies. Sometimes
it seeks them at the left, among the
communists. who generally repulse
their advances, sometimes at the
right, among so-called radical social
lists. who are generally more recep-

Socialist Chiefs.
Leon Glum and Paul Boncour are
the socialist parliamentary chief,
and the party stands for national de-
Tense. although nominally opposed
to private property, and is pledged
to class struggle.
Now come two factions which gov
erned for the fifteen years immedi-
ately preceding the war. namely, the
radical socialist party, which is
fianked on the left by the independent
socialists. This party, led by Herriot
and Painleye, was swamped in 1919,
because the people realized it had
been unable to foresee. prepare for
or win the war, and because it's two
chiefs, Caillaux and Malvy, had been
condemned for defeatism by the SEN
ate sitting as high court.
But although beaten, the radical So
cialists have succeeded in getting
prominent places in all governments
in the last four years. Many of their
number were in the BRAND cabinet
and almost all of them were retained
by M. Poincare. This strange fact is
the principal reason for the eQuivocal
situation that exists electorally to-
day, for since 1920 all cabinets have
been composed exactly as if the 1913
elections had resulted exactly oppo-
site to the way they did. And so the
1919 majority is obliged by an odd
paradox to seek reelection on it's
record without ever having been in
power. For four years it has voted
for governments largely composed Of
its opponents. who have practiced a
policy opposed to that which the ma
jority promised in it's platform.

treaty of Versailles demanded by the
radical socialists, and has been
obliged to impose fourteen billion
francs additional taxes without &C

forms it promised The only fraction
