has proved false. Out of all the
banks which have closed in the
State, with the possible exception
of ten or twelve. the remainder of
them was caused by a somewhat
overbanked condition largely in
agricultural districts.
There is no cause for alarm in the
future so far as. the condition of the
bank is concerned. There may be
more failures, but one very good sign
is found in the fact that bank re-
serves are the largest and their bills
payable are the smallest they have
been at any time within the past
three years. If all banks were in
the hands of real bankers failures
would be minimized.

BANK FAILURES
CUT IN INDIANA
Crashes Below Average,
Commissioner Finds.

BY LUTHER F. SYMONDS
State Banking Commissioner

The compilation of the figures
covering the operations of the De-
partment of Banking for the six
months ending Dec. 81, will not be
completed for about thirty days,
and it is not possible to issue a
statement at this time which is
much more than an estimate.
In some Of the western States the
bank failures during the period of
defiation since the close of the war
has run from twenty to forty per
cent of the total number of banks,
while in Indiana the number of
closings for the same period has
been about five per cent.
In proportion to the number of
banks in each department the ratio
of closings between the State banks
and the National banks within the
State is practically the same.

Added Relief Promised

Indiana business is awakening to
the need for and value of coopera-

chamber in obtaining relief from
unjust freight rate burdens has
demonstrated, as nothing else could,
the effectiveness of such an organiza-
ton in promoting and protecting the
business interests of our State.
Cases now pending which the
State chamber is prosecuting be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Indiana Public
Service Commission hold promise
Of bringing added relief during 1928,
which will benefit industry and

will be less than one cent on the
dollar of deposits. The amount for
1927 has not been determined. There
are 825 banks in the State depart
ment: there are ten examiners, and
a strong effort is made to examine
each bank every six months. Dur
ing the year several small banks
which found their business unprofit-
able have voluntarily sold their as

the following to say regarding our
years accomplishments:
Even Break" Is Sought
IAN enlarged agricultural market
created through industrial develop
ment in our manufacturing centers
is the end toward which the In
diana State Chamber of Commerce
is striving in its work of reducing
and equalizing Indianas freight
rates.
Lower and more equitable rates
for Indiana shippers, rates which
will give our producers an even
break with our competitors, par
ticularly those in Illinois, are the
object of our activities in the field
of freight and traffic.
Prosperity of the farmer is so
closely linked with national pros
perity that only through cooperation
can the common problems be solved.
Analysis has shown agricultural
prosperity to be greatest in indus
trial sections and in aiding our in
dustries the State chamber believes
it is contributing directly to the
prosperity of the farmer whose
products are sold largely to the in
dustrial employe.

Market Edge Removed

1.-THE State chamber during the
past year has accomplished great
deal in the removal of certain dis
examinations in freight rates which
gave to Indiana's competitors, par
ticularly those in Illinois, distinct
marketing advantages and during
the coming year will make every
possible effort to adjust rates with
IN our State to parity with those
prevailing in Illinois.
National advantages of location,
coupled with admittedly low trans

activities looking toward freight rate
reductions and equalizationS.
Directors and officers are devot-

the worthy task of developing the
whole State and as increased moral
and financial support is given will
be able to expand its services to the
increasing good of the whole COM

POWER PERMIT OPPOSED.
BY ANACOSTlA CITIZENS
Association Asks Commission {
Delay Action on Great
Falls Project. 4

The Federal Power Commission will
be requested by the Anacostia Cit.
izens' Association to delay action on
the applications of all private parties
for preliminary permit in connec-
ton with the development of the
Great Falls power project until after
the next session of Congress.
This request was authorized last
night at the final meeting of the asso-
citation until September, at which q
resolution also was adopted to the
effect that no general rule should be
made to disqualify married women
as public school teachers.
The resolution stated that each
case should be judged on it's merits.
but that where all conditions are
equal, preference should be given to
unmarried teachers unless the par.
ticular married women in question are
compelled to support themselves or
their families.
The project of including the Ana
costa neiShborhood within the fire
limits was indorsed and the associa.
ton decided to request that all gravel
streets in the community be oiled. 1t
was decided also to urge the placing
OF a street light on Fifteenth street
southeast between U and V streets.
