BANKERS BLAME.
OVERBANKING AS.
CAUSE OF WOES.
Poor Management Also
Hurt, Says Diggs

HOT SPRINGS, Va, June 10.
Overbanking in the United States
was largely responsible for the
troubles of banking institutions
during the depression which cul-
minated in the bank holiday of
March, 1898.
This was the view expressed to-
day by Marshall R. Diggs, acting
controller of the currency, before
the District of Columbia Bankers
Association, in convention here.
The over5anking factor, he said,
was accented by unwiSe manage
ment, and the fact that in many
cases, the banks were managed by
officials who had not the slight
est knowledge of banking"
BLAMES MANAGEMENT
Citing figures on bank failures
since the system was established
in 1863, Diggs pointed out that in
competent management was re-
SponSible for almost as many fail
ures as national financial depres-
SionS.
Diggs scored the policy of bank
ers who have forgotten one OF
their primary functions, that OF
lending.
g. They are keeping their
funds too largely in cash or in
vested in securities, and as
consequence heavy borrowers are
being forced to the various
governmental agencies, and the
small borrowers hunt out the
loan shark"
WOMEN'S WEALTH
Diggs also called attention OF
the bankers to the advantage OF
educating women to the uses OF
banking.
The wealth of the women of
this country" he said, lis estl-
mated at about $210, ,000, 900 ,0OO,-
600. They control IS per cent Of
the earned income of the nation.
Sixty-five per cent of all savings
accounts are in women's names,
and they are the beneficiaries
of 80 per cent of all life in
surance."

Whittinoton's Work

Under the leadership of Chairman Will M. Whit
tington,. of the Flood Control Committee, the house Iast
week passed the largest and most comprehensive flood
control bill in history, authorizing appropriations in the
five year period, aggregating 1915, 999, 900, without
amendment and as reported by him.
The debates on the flood control bill, as shown by
the Consressionsl Record Of Thursday, May 10, 1888,
pages 0409-9442, show the opinions entertained by mem
bers Of the House respecting the leadership Of Chairman
WhNtington in flood control matters. Members one
after another paid tribute to him and his work, and
stated he IL the best informed man on flood control IN
the United States.
It may be Of interest to know that the Director Of
the Bureeu Of Public Roads recently made the statement
to . Mississipplan that Wilmington was the outstanding
authority in Congress ON Federal highway legislation.
The highway bill was passed, and by reading the Con-
1te6sicnal Record of Thursday, May 5, 1885, pages $751;
1896, It will be seen that It fell to Wilmington. as the
ranking member Of the committee, to pilot the highway
bill through the House, Is It has fallen his lot to pilot
lation has made possible the highway program in Mis-
sissippi.-Jackson Daily News.
The above editorial from the Daily News, COM
trict Of the state, shows plainly the type Of represen-
tative we have in Congress. Much good has come to
this Congressional District through the work Of Con-
gresham Wilmington and more is expected and look
ed forward to by his constituents.
At present $3.50 600 is earmarked in Washington
for drainage and flood control of the Big Black river
provided certain rules and regulations are complied
with by July /. Claiborne is the only county to date
that has not complied. Citizens Of this and other coun-
County officials to comply with the requirements at
once. Only through cooperation of the citizens of our
state can the full benefit of the work of our statesmen
be realized.

The residents Of Greenbelt were Of
fered a real bargain last week free
garden plots. By Friday forenoon the
management received LOG applications
for single plots, and several for
double port ion.
AS the garden spaces are So So,
there likely will be about dozen to
the acre, and a tract Of nine acres al
ready i S nee essary.
The management will provide the
garden area in three different local
tiles as close to the residential sec
tions poss ible; will pillow them and
furnish fert i1izer free. r-. g.. '.',
Looking back into the dim past to
our garden days, we would say hoe is
about the only garden implement really
needed. We expect to be able to report
next week that the Consumers Services
will place on sale necessary garden
tools. And three or four families near
each other can syndicate on purchase
and u Sc Of tools to lessen CO SITS.

WHAT OUR STORES MEAN TO US

Ala OIuSI 10 c4u11y Iu0 rS40t4Ou-
ship between the stores in Greenbelt
and our citizens, we quote from re-
port made by Peter J. Carroll at the
last Citizens Association meeting,
Monday, March 2.
~ Mr.. Carroll is cha rman Of the
Advi sorry Comm ttee on Cooperat ives,
Citizens Group designed to act as
- liaison between the citizens and the
Coops.
"The stores are now being managed
for US by the Greenbelt Consumer Ser
vices, Inc., which is subs diary Of
the Consumer Dis tr ibution Corporation
an organi cation founded by Edward A.
Filene, whose faith in the ability Of
the common man to manage his own af-
fairs eau sed him to devote large
part Of his fortune to ccomp1ish
that end. 1~~2
When you spend dollar in the
food store, 80 Of it goes to the gov
eminent for rent. Out Of the balance
the cost Of the article, service and
managene Mt is paid. Then SO annual
interest i S paid on the Loan Of the
Consumer Distribut ion Corporations. II
there is balance left it is held in
trust for us. If there is loss the
Corporation digs into It's pocket and
makes up that loss, in the hope that
some day wi IL make succe IS Of
our enterprise in Greenbelt, repay the
loan and interest, and thereby make the
fund available to help others.
IF by December 81, 1889, we do not
agree to take over the business, the
government is enti tied to repossess the
stores and lease them to private enter
prise.
" If we do get together and take over
the stores the Consumer Di stri but ion
Corporation has guaranteed our liability
to the government for the next ten years.
One fact should now be very clear and
that is that the Fi1ene Foundation has
everything to 10 Sc and nothing to gain
except the &C comp1 shment Of Edward A.
