No Bank Failures
In North Carolina
Under Insurance

Not one commercial bank in
North Carolina has been forced to
suspend operations since the FEEDER
al Deposit Insurance Corporation
became effective January /, 1884
according to information furnished
R. M. Gnatt, state director for the
National Emergency Council for
North Carolina, by the Corporation.
On June 80, 1886, deposits in
234 operating commercial banks in
the State of North Carolina were
insured by the Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation. Total depos-
its of these insured banks amounted
to $3.50, 100, 900, of which it is es-
timated that about $40 are cover
ed by insurance. Since the great
majority of deposlrors had less than
$4,000 in their accounts, it is esti-
mated that 1870 of the depositor,
in these insured banks are fully
protected. Only one commercial
bank, with deposits of about 49,
000, 1000, in the State of North
Carolina is not insured by the Cor
poration.
During the thirteen years prior
to the time the Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation began to in
sure bank deposits, $50 commercial
banks in North Carolina suspended
operations. This figure includes
banks unable to resume regular
banking operations at the close of
the banking holiday in 1888, and
which were closed or operating un-
der restrictions on April II of that
year. The deposits of these banks
amounted to $1SO,0O0,0 600. From
January 1, 1884, the date on which
Federal insurance of deposits be-
came effective, to June 80, 1886,
no bank suspensions occurred in
Carolina.
In the entire United States, in
Guiding possessions. 1905 opera
ting commercial banks and Sc mu-
tual savings banks were insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration on June so, 1886. APP
proximately 1870 of all operating
commercial banks, and 1919 of the
mutual savings banks are insured
by the Corporation.

Public Power
Issue Debated
Utilities Will Control
Nation, Investment
Bankers In
Are Told

Augusta, Ga.-Predictions of a
great broadening of the electrical
ace in the immediate future marked
debate before the nations invest
inert bankers on private versus
government power development.
4. tremendous increase" in the
market for electric power next
year was forseen by ]. D. Ross,
member of the Federal Securities
and Exchange commission. He was
in the public power battle for
many years as director of the NUM-
cipll plant at Seattle.
UNFOLDING the role of govern
msnr in power development as i
superficial force in lowering cleo
tric rates and widening demand,
Ross shared discussion before the
sellers and underwriters of securi-
ties with C. W. Kellogg, New
York, president of the Edison Eele-
c.ric institute and DR.. Karl T.
Compton, president of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology.
THE hand that controls the cleo
trio switch today dominates civil
zation." said Ross. He brought
home to bankers who have distrib-
uted billions of dollars in utility Sc
c%urities the importance of the stake
in the struggle between govern
ment and private enterprise for
domination in the power ages flu
ture.
I'VE have passed from the iron
age and the machine age into the
electrical age, and Jul industries
and manufactured products depend
on electricity" he said.
"The people of America are not
asking that their bills for light and
power be reduced. They are really
asking that they get more curren,
for the same money. This points to
production of greater quantities of
energy-two, three, four, or five
times as much as today.
THE whole industrial structure
Of our nation is cramped from the
lack of power. Work in the home
is vastly greater than it should be.
There are 100000 farm homes in
the nation that are without the ad-
vantage of electricity"

There are pending two requests for appropriations

One of these would carry relief from April through
June and the other would the fiscal year starting
in July. =
To meet the situation arising April l. District officials
asked the Federal Bureau of the Budget the
figure to $2500OO
To meet the need for the next fiscal year District off

ship"
AS governor Of Kansas, Mr..
Landon, like Mr.. Borah in the
Senate, has not hesitated to CO.
operate with the Administration
when he approved its course.
Speaking to his fellow Kansas
at Topeka on Kansas Day, Janu-
ary 20 last, the governor said:
THE RECORDS SHOW
"Taking at its face value the
solemn promises Of the Admin
istratiOn that politics would be
kept out of all relief activities,
/ continued the relief 0rganiZa-
tiOn of my distinguished Demo
cratic predecessor.
"Here in Kansas we thought

we accepted what was offered
and made an administrative

by few other States.
"The records will show that
no State cOOperated more fully

tinued, $50 that relief might be
handled in familiar pOrk-barrel
fashion. that the people of Kan
sas found themselves 'diSap-
pointed and amazed"
Governor Landon in the same
speech said in different and in less
eloquent wordc than those of Sen
ator Borah what the senator said
at Chicago concerning those critics
Of the Administration who en-
gage in wholesale assault"
'Tn my Judgment" said Gov
ernOr LandOn, "the policy of con-
demning everything the OppOsi-

teIligence.
1--WE should go into the cam
paign prepared to be as fair in
cOnceding the good points of the
opposition as we are courageous
to point out its errors"
Again on Founders Day, in his
address to his next door neighbors
in Nebraska, Governor Landon ex-
emplified the same power of mod
Grafton and fairness of attitude to-
ward his political opponents that
distinguished the eloquent address
of Senator Borah at Chicago last
week. Speaking at Lincoln, Neb.,
on February 20 last, the governor
said:
FAIR PLAY
"The tas o. the Republican
party has been multiplied, and
our path to orderly economic
progress unnecessarily barri-
caded by social and economic
experiments introduced in the
last three years by the national
Administration"
"It may be assumed that many
Of tn e Objectives were laudable
but the methods taken to reach
those Objectives have tended to
diScredit their high intentions"
There is, of course, vast diff
ference between the matchless elo-
quence of Senator Borah and the
plain language of the prairie coun-
try employed by Governor Landon
when at rare intervals he inter
rupts his work to address the pub
lie.
But the able Senator from Idaho
and the able Administrator at To-
peka in their public utterances
set common example Of good
sportsmanship and fair play which
Is in refreshing contrast to the
bitter invectiveS and bigoted par
tiSanship of the so-called New
Dealers as we'll as of some of
their political opponents.
Governor Landon and Senator
Borah obviously are emulating the
example of Abraham Lincoln of
whom James Russell Lowell said:
"There has been nothing of
CleOn, still less Of StrepsiadeS
striving to underbid h i'm in
demagueguISm to be found in
the public utteranceS of Mr..
Lincoln. He has always ad-
dressed the intelligence of men,
never their prejudice, their pas
sion, or their ignorance"

other men have despised you or
laughed at you or punished you.
And you have realized why they
laughed. You admitted the fair
ness of the punishment. Yet
There was something in you
which insisted that you were not
a liar, a brute, a coward or a fool,
though you might act like one.
You clung to that secret con-
viction through all outward cur
cumstarces. You clung to your
belief in yourself-to your self
respect-to that little part Of God
which you call your pride. For
you felt that was the true part Of
your life you felt that your
pride expressed the real you.
GREAT DREAMS
And it did. Your outward acts
are not your real self. They are
only clumsy gestures. Your real
self lives in the secret places OF
your pride.
There, in your pride you dream
your great dreams. There You
dare to reveal your actual hopes
and fears. And your pride is the
most sensitive and powerful
point in your life. It is the point
where you can be most helped-or
hurt.
The success or the failure Of
your life does not depend on what
other people think Of you-they
depend on what you think Of your
Self-they depend on your pride
or lack of pride.
If your pride your self-reSpect
;. is strong and sure, you can
stand steady in any adversely. If
your pride is weak and uncertain,
you will crumble under any trifle.
You are as much alive as your
pride is alive.
You are as much dead as your
pride is dead.

measures which the Administra-
