SAFETY FOR MONEY
Appleton (Minn.) Press

An abnormal number of bank failures that have
occurred in this country during the past 10 years
has tended to lessen public confidence in the bank
safe place in which to keep surplus funds There
is reason to believe that the amount of money in
voved in bank losses has been over-estimated and
that the public depreciation of confidence in banks
is unjustifed.
The fact is that while some banks have failed and
some losses to depositors have occurred public crit
icism OF banks has been out of proportion to the
losses Much greater losses have resulted in other
financial fields with little ill affect The bank
losses have been over-advertised, exaggerated and
deplored while other losses have been accepted
matter of course.
Consider for example, the losses in stocks and
bonds
First it might be well to recall that the decreased
confidence in banks has caused numerous persons to
seek other places in which to put their money. A
great many so-called financial experts have advised
investments in stocks and bonds preferable to
tifcates of deposit. Stock and bond statesmen have
always been quick to take advantage of any suspi-
Dion of banking safety and to urge their in
preference The result has been that out Of every
community a large amount of money has gone for
the purchase of industrial stocks and bonds The
word "gone" is used advisedly for much of it has
never come back.
ceding JAM 1st bank failures in the nation tied up
total of approximately two billion dolares. AS
liquidation proceeded some Of this released to
the depositotrs; in some cases banks paid out 100
per cent, and in there was total loss
but it would seem conservative to assume that the
actual loss was not more than half of the amount
involved when the banks were closed.
On Sept l. 1929 the high point Of the market,
the value Of listed stocks the New York exchange
was in excess of 80 billion dollars and listed bonds
in of 40 billion dollars The value of listed
stocks on the New York exchange Jan. !, 1881, was
about 40 billion, and bonds At billion the period
between Sept. 1, 1929, and Jan. l. 1881 owners of
stocks lost 4064S39S395 and bond owners lost ST.

lars. This represents the loss on the New York e-
change alone and there other exchanges every
principal city of the nation in which the losses are
70 in
listed stocks and bonds only and does not consider
losses in curb trading. The figures for New York
cannot be more than half of the total, on which
conservative estimate would be 100 billion for the
nation in less than year and half
Compare that with the total of two billion tied
in closed banks in 10 years. part of this repaid

out the design now. You would be
surprised the trade that he has, he
has just practically quit acting, and
is specializing entirely. It was too
bad; he is a fine comedian too, one
of the best that ever left the stage.
But this new work is high class,
and not hard. It's mostly just con-

some side line, that would stop me

MOUNT VERNON AT PARIS

If George Washington could suddenly
revisit this world, appearing in Paris this
summer, he would not have to suffer the be.
wilderment of Rip Van Wrinkle. At the In
ternational Colonial Exposition, he would find
his Mount Vernon home reproduced in every
detail. There he would encounter people
dressed as in his day and would witness many
historical incidents as they were enacted at
his home during the eighteenth century.
One of the chief participants in this
quaint retrospective drama is Anne Madison
Washington, who recently sailed for Paris
to begin her duties as official hostess of the
overseas Mount Vernon at the opening of the
Exposition on May 2. She is a direct descend
ant of John Augustine Washington, brother
of George and is the daughter of Lawrence
Washington, who was born at Mount Vernon
Because of her free access to the Mount YER
non home and grounds on the Potomac, Miss
Washington has been able to render valuable
assistance to c. Bascom Slemp, commissioner
general of the American exhibit, in carrying
out the duplication of Washington's resi-
dence.
In contrast to the colonial Washington
home, the Orient will be represented at Paris
by reproduction of the Tai Mahal, of Agra,
India, said to be the most beautiful building
ever erected. Arrangements for the dupli-
cation of this famous mausoleum were made
by wealthy Indian maharajahs, and funds
were advanced by the Aga Kahn, the Ma
harajah, of Kapurthala, and other Indian
princes.
The Tai Mahal was built between 1929
and 1850 at gigantic cost, to commemorate
the love of the Shah Jehan for his favorite
wife, MumtaziMahal. 1t is thought to be the
finest example existent of the ancient culture
of Hindustan. In addition to the white mar.
BILE building itself, the beautiful gardens sur
rounding the mausoleum also will be repro
duced at Paris.
Why is recovery from the economic de-
preston so slow?, Because capital is afraid
according to State Treasurer Levitan, of
Wisconsin. He declares that many millions
of dollars now lie inactive in banks because
the owners of this money are possessed with
fear.
Persons who invested readily in stocks,
bonds, real estate and varied business enter
pr1Ses during prosperous times now hold back
and await developments. And so long as
they hold back through fear, so long will
resumption of normal industrial and business
activity be retarded
1t is inevitable that general prosperity
will come back in time, but the timidity of
capital may delay return to normal condi-
lions. And it seems that little can be done
to overcome that timidity.
