to the total deposits of the other 80
percent of the individuals having ac-
counts with that institution.
With respect to the fear tina has
been indicaed in the drouth-sricken
communities, it was explained that
many individuals thought there would
be repetition of conditions several
years ago when the small banks were
unable to realize on loans and short
time credits extended in the same
areas. The depression made it inn
possible for many borrowers to repay.
The officials told me, however, that
the conditions now are somewhat diff
ferent. They pointed out, for example
that many of the distressed farm
mortgages hitherto privately held are
now in the hands of the government
and that the home loan bank system
has been doing the same sort Of thing
for owners of residences in towns and
cities.
It is true, of course, that many of
the banks have extended credit OH
what normally would be sound bases,
anad that the drouth and its conse-
quent destruction of crops will cause
some loans to be uncollected at this
time. But the point is that the strain
is not so great as it was early in the
depression and officials here general
ly believe that the banks will pull thru
with the very minimum of failures.
Nebraska Experiment
It is a curious coincidence, how
ever, that this new fear of banking
trouble in the drouth areas should
arise at time when the state of Ne.
braska is just closing out it's 25-year
experiment with the slant bank de.
post guarantee law. The Nebraska
experiment was by no means success
full. It's life was very short. Neverthe-
less, it has taken that state almost 20
years to clean up the wreckage that
resulted fro man attempt to insure

National Topics Interpreted

Washington.-Word has reached
treasury circles in Washington indi-
eating some fear among residents of
the drouth area that the prolonged
dry period and it's attendant effect on
conditions may cause some fresh
trouble among banks. I inquired
among officials of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation on corning
these conditions, and I have assur-
ances that there is little, if any dan
ger, of new banking difficulties. Fur
thermore, the officials reminded me
that even if new troubles should arise
nearly all of the depositors in the dis
tress communities are protected under
the bank deposit guarantee law.
In reporting these assurances I do
not mean to imply that every bank in
all parts of the country has insurance
coverage for it's depositors. But the
scope of the insurance corporation
membership is so broad that it is al
most possible to describe it as COM
plete coverage among the small banks.
The corporation figures show that 81
percent of all depositors whose indi-
vidual accounts are less than $4,000
per person are protected by the insur-
ance. Something like 95 percent of
all the banks in the country are men,
bers of the insurance pool.
The significance of these figures
cannot be minimized. For example, a
recent bank failure in Illinois was
cared for by the Deposit Insurance
corporation and it paid 80 percent OF
the number Of depositors with a to.
tai Of $125,000, figure that was ex.
actly half Of the total deposits in the
bank. That is to say that only pei
cent Of the number of depositors in
the bank had accounts in excess OF
$1,000 each--the maximum insured
under the temporary fund-but the to,
tai Of these larger accounts was equa

Kennewick seems to have been for
tunate this year in its experience with
the dreaded paralysis. Five cases in
the area hereabouts were reported
and all are recovering with apparent
ly no dreadful after results. Other
sections roundabout are not so fortu-
nate. Yakima county is reporting
nearly seventy cases, while Spokane
and other larger centers report a pro-
portionately large number, and in
each several deaths have been noted.

many spots. They exist among Re-
publicans now in the North and the
Northwest and in some sections of
the Middle West, and they exist
among the radical wing of the Dem
ocratic party in some sections of the
South and in most parts of the Middle
West. But as far as Washington in
formation goes there are few points
upon which these various groups are
yet able to agree.
~ Old line Republicans and the con-
servative wing of the Democratic par
ty are paying little attention, how
ever, to the threats of party detection.
Federal Clerks Lose Jobs
Many deficiency experts" are APP
pearing in the New Deal government
al agencies and the heads of clerks
are beginning to fall. The process oe
separating workers from the federal
payroll always is a difficult PROPOSE
ton and so the efficiency experts are
moving very slowly. But authentic re-
ports indicate there will be sharp
reduction in the government payroll
shortly after election. 1t seems pos
sible that few will join the ranks of
the unemployed even before election,
but the number is likely to be incon-
sequential according to the informa-
tion I have obtained.
The appearance of the efficiency
boys, however, has started many
Washington correspondents on the
trail of something deeper. While none
of them, as far as 1 know, have been
able to learn definite and irrefutable
information as to plans, there is no

Fifty-five good men and true have
signified their willingness to serve in
a public capacity in Benton county.
True, most Of them want to receive
pay for it, but some are willing to
work for nothing. Thirty-five are
seeking the seven pay jobs. Twenty
eight are going to wake up on the
morning Of September 18th with the
firm conviction that, where politics
are concerned, all men are liars.

WE NEED EN-

WE NEED EN-
During the past few days good
deal has been said about people COM
ing to the Northwest to make their
home. Many local citizens are of the
opinion that this state and this Sec
ton of the state in particular, will see
another boom such as started the de-
velopment in this area.
President Roosevelt's visit to the
Northwest has turned the attention
of many to this part of the country.
Drouth in the Middle West and in
tense heat have set thousands to
thinking of a new home.
No state in the Union has more to
offer folks seeking new home than
Washington; no state is richer in ma
tural resources than our own.
Washington has fertile valleys,
mountains rich in minerals, ocean wa
tiers teeming with fish, mountain
slopes covered with timber, splendid
cities and wonderful citizens. Our
state is truly Natures Paradise,
Mans Opportunity" the slogan adopt
ed some years ago by the Washington
Press Association. "
The point we have in mind now is:
Who is going to invite these people
who have the seeking of a new home
In mind? Who is going to present
the opportunities which are to be
found in Washington? Who is in po-
sition to get this news before these
striker people?
The state chamber Of commerce is
no longer functioning- this would
have been one of it's most important
activities If it were. And there is no
other organization of statewide
scope which can handle this job. The
state should revive the department
which a few years ago handled this
class of work. The influx of a few
thousand settlers into Washington
would far more than repay the state
for any advertising expenditure
which it would make in this manner.
And right now is the most opportune,
time to get at it.

CARRIERS LAUDED
 FOR CARRYING ON
Few Democrat Readers
 Skipped Despite Deep Snow Drifts

Battling through snow drifts some places as high as themselves, The Democrat newsboys last night "carried on'' despite the crippling blizzard and carried the daily news to the' doors of the readers of this paper. Customers and people thfoughout the city in general praised the bravery and "go-getted- ness" of the youngsters as they braved the stinging gale and deeu snow to do their bit in carrying out the old slogan that "the news must get through"
 In some instances readers of The Democrat were skipped. This was not due to negligence on the part of the neWsboys, but to the utter impossibility of the young sters to reach some of the houses o ntheir routes. The Democrat to- day isues an apology on behalf of the boys to the customers who were skipped"
 Realizing the severity of the storm and the bard task to which the boys were put, however, it was noteworthy to sec hew few were the calls because of lack of deliv- cry. The people on The Democrat routes were very considerate of the boys and praised them for their valiant efforts to battle the clements.
 Not a Democrat newsboy who started out on his route turned back. Drifkts, no matter how high they were, were ploughed through. The youngsters were, really, equal ly deserving of praise yesterday as are theair mail flyers who through out the year battle the elements to keep pthe honor of the United States mail service.
 Drivers of the Democrats cir culation department cars yesterday forced their way through almost unsurmountable obstacles to carry the papers to the outlying dis tricts. In some sections they were held up for long periods of time due to drifts but managed in most instances to do their bit in "carry- ing on." In a few rare instances
