and the banks of the state owe

about 100000.

and the banks of the state 1--WE

1t must be remembered that the
War Finance corporation loans were
Of necessity, made under pressure of
immediate needs and all precautions
usually exercised in loaning funds
could not possibly be taken at the
time. Reliance upon statements
which could not be carefully verified
was necessary and the need for quick
relief vas pressing. The writer two
years ago predicted that if the corpor-
alton lost in Montana a sum equal
to one years interest at the rate of
u per cent on the peak of its loans,
there should be no cause for COM
plant, in view of the tremendous
service rendered. Recent develop
ments, however, have made it clear
hal the estimate was entirely too
high. All expenses of the corpora
ton plus losses which will be sus-
tanned, will no doubt fall far below
that figure, and Montana operations
will pield a small profit.
The Closed Banks.
All closed banks in the state owe
the corporation and the Federal Re-
serve Bank combined a total of only
about $3,500,000 and liquidation of
this is proceeding in a surprisingly
satisfactory manner 1t is only fair
to say at this point that the service
redered by these two institutions has
been tremendously valuable. Their
policy of treating with generous CON
~sideration those whose paper they
have been compelled to take over and
collect through their own agencies
has been most fair and liberal. Only
those who manifest a desire to repud-
late their debts or ''cover up" and
thus escape payment are seriously
pressed for settlement.
On Oct. 10, 1924, the banks Of
Montana showed total bills payable
of S3,350,0O0, but it is to be noted
that they likewise show reserves of
about 80 per cent, or about $25,0O0.-
600 mor than the legal require
ments. A large proportion of these
bills payable have been liquidated
during the past two months and with
exceptions will be entirely
by the first of the year.
This statement is justified by the
fact that since Oct. 10 money has
been piling up in banks at a rapid
'ate, so rapidly, in fact, that bankers
ire searching diligently to employ
t at a profit.
March, 1922, statements disclose
hat the 401 banks, both national

al of $19,200,00O of bonds, warrants

o secure circulation. On Oct. 10,
asst, the 1877 state and private banks
lone held over $14,500,OOO of such
Investments. The figures for the ma
ional banks are not available at this
ime, but it is very conservative in
.eed, to state that their increase of
UGH Investments has been in equal
roportion over the same period, and
he estimate of between Is and 80
1illions of such securities held by all :
anks on that date could not be
eemed exaggeration. Therefore it .
ppears that quick investments worth Z,
t least $5,000,000 more and possibly +
Torth $~10,000,000 more were held on

illness. In proportion to the popu-
lation, M%ontana's banks were too
numerous. In 1919 there was a bank
] for approximately every thousand of
population. At the present writing,
there is n bank for approximately
every eighteen hundred persons in
the state, and the improvement in
banking conditions is nothing short
of marvellous.
Attracted by the rapid settling of
our agricultural districts and their
wonderful productivity, banks were
rapidly organized in sections already
amply served by conservatively man
aged institutions, or in districts not
sufficiently developed to support a
bank It all. If 20 clothing stores
open for business in a community
where 10 would be ample, the failure
of 10 such concerns could not fairly
be charged to anything but poor
judgment on the part of 10 mer-
chants. BY this comparison, it is
not intended to infer that bad man
agement and unforeseen conditions
were not factors contributing to the
unfortunate closing of a number of
banks in the state. 1t can be truth
fully stated, however, that talk
played a tremendous part in the de-
struction of confidence resulting in
the slow but steady drainage of de-
posits from banks directly affected
thereby.
But the strong survived, enough
of them to adequately serve the bust
ness, farming and livestock interests
of Montana for years to come. Let us
make some comparisons that will in
terest and perhaps surprise the bear
on the Montana market. We shall
take the figures of the banks for
March 10, 1922, when matters were
generally recognized to be very bad:
(a) The deposits of 135 national
and 266 state and private banks on
that date totalled in round figures,
142,5O0,O 0O.
(b) The deposits of go national
and 157 state and private banks on
Oct. 10, 1924, totalled in round fig
ures, $130,50,0 900.
Please note that banks 100 less in
number in 1924 than in March, 1922,
show only IL, 900 less in depos-

The Comeback.
The statements of Montana banks,
published on last call this year, 1924,
tell the story of Montana's vigorous
comeback that is nothing less than
surprising, if not marvellous, and the
following facts and figures will ade-
luately support this statement.
(a) In August, 1921, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Minneapo-
lis, through its Helena branch,
had loaned to member banks the
enormous sun of $1S,601, 900.
During that fall and the follow
ing year the Montana agency of !
the War Finance corporation
loaned about $14, 10000 to
Montana banks.
(b) At the present writing |
member banks owe the Federal
Reserve bank about $4,000 O0, |

This crop is proving quite profitable.
Flax Growing in eastern Montana
especially, is so successful as to make
Montana one of the most important
flax states. This crop is well suited
to extensive dry land production and
its freedom from disease favors a
good yield.
Corn is clearly destined to have an
important place In Montana agricul-
ture. Ten years ago the state pro-
duced less than one million bushels

generally on Montana farms. Such
crops as c%urrants, strawberries, rasp-
berries and others belonging to this

Oct. 10 by Eat banks, as compared
with those held by 401 banks in
March of 1922.
Now it must be born in mind
that, although these remarkable
figures of Montana banks were
made public on Oct. 10, go days
ago, the marketing of our vast
crop had only begun. Normally
our greatest liquidation occurs in
December. Owing to the at
tractive prices for our wheat.
marketing has been more rapid
perhaps than usual, as evidenced
by the daily increasing of depos-
its nov in progress. Daily in
quiries for investments are being
received from Montana banks by
the Helena banks, and the Fed
eraI Reserve branch. The cry
for 'help, more money has
changed to a plea for help in en-
ploying more money shan the
bankers know what to do with.
Large deposits for short periods
of time at interest are being &C.
casionalIy refused, because of
the improbability of profit to the
bank accepting them.
In past years the bankers demand
for deposits of public funds held by
the state and county t~reasurers, am
ounted to almost a scramble each
fall. 1t was not at all unusual for
banks receiving such funds to use
themto reduce rediscounts and bills
payable in the fall liquidation period.
only to again fall back on the re-
discounting and borrowed money
process in order to replace them as
the needs of the county and state
governments required their with
drawal during the following spring
and summer. This situation has been
reversed this fall. Treasurers are
experiencing difficulty in securing
repositories at the prevailing legal
rate of 21a per cent on public funds
deposited in banks. 1t is therefore
evident that actual liquidation has
paid our bank debts and more, hence
surplus funds in the banks seeking
employment.
Optimism Prevails.
Banks quite generally throughout
the state are adopting rules requiring
service charges on all small balances.
These are coming into the banks in
increasing numbers due to the re-
stration of confidence so generally
evident throughout Montana. The
depositors are accepting the charges
gracefully. They have learned more

Stevens Truck
Hits Mailman

A Stevens grocery store truck, driv'
en- by Harold Rommelfanger, struck
and slightly bruised Nicholas SchuetE
a mailman, this morning at the corner
of Milwaukee avenue and Middle
street.
Rommelfanger was driving east or
Middle street and started to slow down
for the arterial highway stop. He saw
the mail truck Immediately ahead of
him and saw Schuetz taking mail
out of the rear end of the truck. The
car started to skid in the deep ruts
and Rommelfsnger reached for the
emergency brake. AS he pulled back
on it, the brake rod snapped in two.
The Stevens truck skidded into the
rear of the mail truck and caught
Schuetz between the two cars.
Schuetz was taken to a doctors
Office for examination and later re-
moved to his home. There was prac-
tically no damage done to the trucks.
Schuetz suffered only slight bruis-
es. It was stated that RommelfanEer
was not\exceeding the speed limit.

Attach Automobile
Which Killed Girl

An attachment on the automobile
owned by Constantine Elder of Chi
cago, in which he ran down and fat
ally injured four-year-old Helen
Kurieanowicz, when she jumped from
in front of street car at Grand and
Fremont avenues, has been filed in
circuit court by Roy S. Stephenson,
attorney for Sam KurieanOwicz, father
of the child.
This action, Attorney Stephenson
stated, has been taken preparatory to
starting suit for $4,000 damages
against Elder. The machine, which
has been seized by Sheriff Fred Pabst,
is a Cadillac. Notice of the starting
of the action has been served on
Eder, who announced that he will
retain a Chicago attorney and fight
the case.
Elder was recently absolved from all
blame in connection with the accident
when he appeared before coroner's
jury and told how the little girl leap
ed directly in the path Of his ma
chine. Three other persons, who
were riding with him when the acct
dent happened, also took the stand and
corrobOrated his testimony.
