THE "BRIDGE OF SIGHS'


The business mems club of Ell Paso has started
a movement for a ''24-hour bridge says the Ell
Paso Herald This undoubtedly would be much
better than these intermittent, can t-l-ever af-
fairs such as they have at Reno. However, II the
business mems club of Ell Paso find it impossible
to compel the bridge to remain tractable it might
be advisable to secure an amendment to the Vol
stead act by which the river could be run over or
around the bridge. AS we understand it. the
bridge liquidation links Juarez with FL Paso-
cities of two nations, with damnation on one side
and cremation on the other.
AS we remember it, similar contention came
UP years ago between the legislature and the Gila
river near Florence. The Arizona legislature ap-
propriated a bridge near Florence for the Gila.
The river scorned the donation and proceeded to
run off around the bridge leaving it high and dry
at both ends, mile or more from the bridge.
Later the question came up as to whether best to
move the bridge or the river. Wise legislative
heads came to the conclusion it was better to COM
promise and offer the river better bed if it would
consent to use it, guaranteeing it more stable
banks within which to liquidate itself.
Later the state penitentiary was located at
Florence as sort of a bridge of sighs bute7en

message was lacking in most of the
elements of Judgment. Arizona does
not want the seven state conference
broken up. 1t is the most effective
weapon this state has to defend it
self on the banks of the Colorado
river.
California never did feel kindly to-
ward the Denver conference, and the
attitude of which the governor OF Arr
zona complains, was colored through
out by that disposition. But Arizona
want % to some trouble and expense to
bring about the conference. and to see
that it made a party defendant of Cali

BANKERS OPINION OF ADVERTISING

Bank advertising in newspapers has been re-
sponsible in great measure for the unprece-
dented growth of financial institutions in the last
twenty-five years, according to T. C. Scroggs,
vice-president of the Seaboard National bank Of
Los Angeles, who talked on this subject at a
luncheon before the Long Beach Advertising club.
Bankers are recognizing more and more every
year the great value of newspaper advertising for
the benefit of their institutions" said Scroggs.
"There was time when banks considered it al
most unethical to advertise. Fortunately, this
idea has long since become obsolete among the pro-
gressive bankers of the United States
'"The bank Of which am vice-president has in
creased its total deposits more than so per cent in
the last year and it's savings department deposits
more than 100 per cent during the same period
and we feel this wonderful record is due largely to
the results obtained from our consistent news
paper advertising campaign"
