STATEMENTS OF INDIANA BANKS SNOW SOLIDITY Business Out of Step Because of Politics and Farm Conditions. Statements received from 863 State hanks and trust companies by the State banking department this week indicate a firm condition in bank re sources, an increased conservatism and closer scanning of credit, E. H. Wolcott, State bank commissioner, deolared today. The call was issued for the quarter ending March 31. Several factors in the country were cited as causes for present feeling of uncertainty in business and industry, Wolcott added. He said: Politics Slows Business "This is a campaign year. With it comes the usual uncertainty regard ing the policies of the successful party, which has a natural tendency to slow down expansion in business enterprises "The general prosperity of the country is self-evident, but business is out of step, certain lines showing marked activity and successful operations, others being under depression.” Credit Relief Temporary Additional credit to Indiana farmers will not afford them other than temporary relief, Wolcott believes. Cheapened cost tri production and marketing was urged. No cause exists for pessimism concerning the business outlook, he added. “In Indi&na. bank deposits show an increase for the year of 1923 of more than thirty three million for State institutions, with an increase in the deposits in building and loan associations of about twenty-seven million,” the official concluded.

Mrs. Georgia Hamon Rohrer said Jake was honest, and that while he secured the nomination of Warren G. Harding, he did not want the office of Secretary’ of the Interior. A1 Jennings, former train robber, and Gaston B. Means, former Department of Justice agent, who told the Senate oil investigating committee that Hamon employed questionable means at the Republican national convention in 1920 are “crooks,” she declared. “Most of the stuff printed about Jake Hamon are lies,” Mrs. Hamon said. “He was the most wonderful man in the world and never did a dishonest act in his life and it is a shame the way some newspapers in Washington have been vilifying him. “I am certainly going as a willing witness to defend the honor of a dead man. “A lot of the charges about Jake Hamon being involved in political graft are untrue.
