come worse. They attribute the activity
largely to locate bands Of robbers who
have found the small, ungarded country
bank q vulnerable object Of prey. But
at the same time there are q few well
organized and highly experienced gangs
Of bank bandits in the field.
"In 1925 program OF protective
measures was inaugurated and followed
closely by Illinois bankers with the re-
suit that bank robbery was made too
dangerous for criminals" said M. A.
Graettinger, secretary or rne Illinois
Bankers Association. "The recent rob-
berries are probably due to the fact that
bankers are not as watchful as they
used to be-"
His recommendation is that q system
of State highway police be built up and
that a centralized bureau of identifica-
ton for aid Of county sheriffs be estab-
lished to curb the growing bandit
menace. In 1928 vigilante groups were
organized in the towns and they per-
formed some good work in frustrating
robberies and capturing robbers.
Reward Plan Abused.
The Nebraska Bankers Association is
reported 10 nave 1OllOWeu the Achdo
plan of increasing rewards for dead
bandits. In Texas the system was
abused through the attempt Of GRIM
inals themselves to stage robberies so
that they could shoot the robbers and
collect large rewards.
Illinois experience shows that results
can be obtained by intelligent co-opera-
ton on the part of local officials. Dur
ing last year nearly IS per cent of the
bank robberies were solved and over 70

MELLON ANSWERS
GARNER ON TAXES
Reviews Refund Procedure
in Reply to Demand for
Congressional Probe.

Striking back at Representative Gar
ner, Democrat, of Texas, Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon in a statement
issued last night declared it was simply
preposterous" that any one should
charge the Treasury could make tax
refunds "for political or any other I'M
proper purpose"
Garner advocated congressional in
vestigation of income tax refunds.
Mellon said it was significant that the
Internal Revenue Bureau had collected
far more in additional taxes than 1t had
paid out in refunds. He also reviewed
in detail the procedure for making
refunds.
Refunds Sum Small.
During the past IA years." he said,
1.-The total amount of additional assess
ments resulting from Office audits and
field Investigations has been $5,345, 202,-
277, while the amount paid out in re-
funds during the same period has been
81 1854, 317,890
Revenue receipts have been $44,O32,-
371 1857, so that the amount refunded
by the bureau has been only approx
mately 2.8 per cent Of the amount COL
lected."
The Treasury Secretary added that
the largest amount of refunds was due
to court decisions or other causes over
which the Treasury had no control.
Furthermore" he continued, "the
largest refunds in recent years have
almost without exception been attrib-
utable to the years of the war. At that
time the Government was under the
necessity of collecting more than
$4,000, 900 900 annually The statute
vrrns kAI
stood by few.
Payments Analysed.
"There was no time to determine con-
troversies and in the emergency tax
payers generally paid large amounts

which was in dispute. There was

Mellon said Gamers suggestion that

adding that this would result in such

Some Census Facts

Many interesting facts concerning the growth Of
the United States may be drawn from the 1880 census
figures, which show population of ,615 for
the 48 states and District of Columbia. The countrys
outlying possessions have approximately 100000
additional persons.
In percentage of gain, California leads all the
states with increase Of "a per cent, Florida being
second with 81 per cent.
New York state showed the largest gain in ac-
al numbers, although it's percentage of increase was
only 21.
Montana is the only state to show loss, amount
ing to per cent But the gain Of several other states
was very small, Arkansas Virginia, North Dakota
New Hampshire, Maine, South Carolina Iowa, Ida
no and Vermont showing increased populations Of
only per cent or less.
The first five states in population remain as be-
fore, being in order eW York, Pennsylvania Illinois,
Ohio aHd Texas, but sixth place is now taken by Cali
forna, which passed ahead of Michingan and Massa-
chusetts.
Nevada remains the smallest state in population,
with 9O559; Wyoming being next from the bottom
with 224,693
is estimated that 60 per cent of the entire popu
ation of the United States is URBAN that is liv
ing in cities and towns of $500 or more In 1920 the
urban population was only 514 per cent This trend
from country to city is perhaps the most significant
single fact disclosed by the 1880 census.
