II want to die; I want to die"
Whereupon, police said, John
grabbed Bartolo's coat, and jumped
from the dock.
The latter, unable to swim, plead
ed with John to save him. His

BAD SITUATION
Economy Plan Would Boost
Taxes in 4S States says
Com. Lohmann.

Should presumption of service con-
nection and free government hospital
treatment for world war veterans be
repealed by Congress as advocated by
The National Economy League, an az
paling situation would result, Lewis E.
Lohmann, Minnesota commander of the
American Legion, said in recent ad-
dress at Pennington.
There are about 1000 mentally dis
turbed veterans and 1000 tubercular
service men, whose disabilities have not
been connected with their service, whom
the government is attempting to cure
in veterans hospitals" Mr.. Lohmann
pointed out.
Those sick and disabled veterans, he
warned, will be thrown upon the public
if the Economy League program goes
through. State and county institutions
already overcrowded, could care for
a portion. The liberty of the mentally
afflicted soldiers would menace the
safety of hundreds of Minnesota COM
munities and prove an unsolvable prob
lem in thousands of little homes.
For the tubercular veterans" Com
mander Lohmann continued, repeal OF
their free disqualification would mean
for many a sentence of death which, in
directly, would thus be declared by the
very government they fought to defend
Furthermore, repeal of the fpresump-
tive feature of the law would still
further empty the government hospitals,
because thousands could no longer
claim service connected disabilities.

curtailment of government hoSpitai-

A Country Editor
Looks at Banking

THE editor of the Norwalk, Ohio.
Herald takes a somewhat different
view of the banking situation from
good many people. His idea is as
follows:
with rents falling and unpaid, real
estate does not present a happy pic
ture. Nor does the owner Of care
fully selected bonds feel any happier.
with bunch of them going wrong. A
lot of folks very carefully invested in
preferred and common stocks In the
finest companies in the world and have
seen them fall to perhaps tenth of
what they paid for them, and no div.
idends at all. Some folks kept their
money in savings accounts in banks.
and some banks have closed and left
them high and dry. But the situation
is worth looking at very carefully.
ION government authority, most
banks that closed were really solvent
but for frozen assets and popular
timidity. Gradually the closed banks
are coming out from under and de-
positors in even bad cases will get at
least so per cent Of their savings.
That's tough of course; nobody likes
to lose half of what they had scrimped
and sacrificed and saved. But when
you hoard and stick the roll Of bills in
a coffee pot or under mattress. some
plug-ugly comes along and burns your
feet till you tell him to take It and
welcome.
"And what about the great majority
of banks that weathered the storm.
met all corners and are doing business
as usual, carefully and conservatively,
but safely? What about the savings
in those banks? They are full 100
per cent today-and they are the only
thing we know of at 100 per cent any
where. After all is said and done, a
good. well managed bank is still the
best place in all the world for money
or savings. Right now in Ohio the
banks pay the taxes on all savings and
pay their depositors net interest on
their savings. We can't think. just
now, of many other investments that
are a tenth as safe as savings &C
count in a solid bank Why, even q
savings account In closed bank is
actually worth more today than most
stocks Z"
