so. The thought of self was more

A Dollar and o Half

Every individual who created a
debt within the past ten years, pay
able in dollars, is obligated to pay
Approximately twice as much as he
agreed to pay when the debt was or
iginally contracted.
The average person who began
buying home in 1928, when real
estate values were towering con
stantly upward, was charged a price
in keeping with the value of the dol
lar at that time. Dollars were plen-
tiful, therefore cheap. He agreed
to pay perhaps, seven thousand dol
lars for a home; sacrificing, maybe,
one thousand dollars as a down pay
ment which represented the major
portion, if not all, of his life's say
ings. In the usual trend of things,
a mortgage was created for the re-
naming six thousand dollars.
AT the time of the agreement,
business was good. The purchaser
was gainfully employed, receiving 8
salary based upon the earning power
Of industry at that time. Things
went smoothls. lie was able to pa,
his building and loon dues regularly
leep his homo repaired, and pay tn
taxes. The dollar sas cheap.

The recently organized unem-
ployed league of the state already
has caused office seekers to sit up
and take notice and well they might,
because 1t will cut a figure in the
state election and particularly the
judiciary. 1t is estimated that there
now are more than 100, 900 persons
dependent upon relief stations for
their daily food and by next Novem-
Der, unless the unexpected happens
that number will be greatly In
creased. 1t is safe to say forty thou
sand voters will be thus affected.
Should they vote in unison for or
against any candidate, such eandi-
date would be virtually sure of
election or defeat. To illustrate
when the Republican and Democratic
candidates will have been nominal
ed the unemployed league, through
its representatives, will make GER
tain demands of each of them and
the one from which they get the
most favorable consideration will be

colleagues to vote for. In othei

CHICAGO.-The Douglass Nation
al Bank of Chicago, for long stand
ing like Gibraltar in the terrific fl
nancial storm, has finally been over
whelmed by the cataclysmic forces.
1t is of the past, and its history, like
that of the cons, will be recorded on
the petrified rocks beneath the
treacherous financial seas.
Those who have followed the late
history of the bank know something
of the days of terror when the con-
fidence of the depositors was sub
merged by the waves of economic
frightfuness. Those who observed
the movements of the executives,
the strategy of the officials and the
many changes in the personnel, con-
cluded that this institution, like the
defeated bulldog. was trying to stage
a return.

loan from the Reconstruction FL

the 60-day privilege We're indications
that the ship Of thrift was sailing in

People have become accustomed to
bank failures in Chicago since they
have lately assumed certain degree

Loss Is Pathetic
There always are attached to a
bank failure pathetic cases of loss.
Three cases deserve attention:
One was that of young man who
had been working four years in

money for the purpose of continuing
his training in accountancy.
Another was that of a gentleman
who had accumulated a large sum

Another was that of young drug

Job would last and who had managed
to save about 5000 in the bank. To-
day. with his baby and wife, and his
job uncertain, he is trembling with
fear and insecurity.
