The Power ’Ble}—xi‘na - - The Savings Dollar

By WILLIAM E. KNOX ! President American Bankers Asso- ' . ciation ; A recent compilation made by the Savings Bank Division of the American Bankers Association showed that in the six years: G, since ‘the war our ; total savings deposits have risen °§ | from $11,600,000, 1. U oo to nearly $2l R 3 ) 000,000,000, an in- | Gg7 G| crease of some 39 27| 400,000,000, The to--454 &5 tal number of savST ings depositors is ‘Willlam E. Knox Treported at about : 38,900,000, The full significance of this is realized only when we visualize savings deposits as meaning much more than merely dollars in ‘the banks. They really mean an incxﬁease in the accumulated . productivef capital of the country, since money deposited in the banks ak savings is! promptly applied by the bankers in the ‘purchase of securities by which- plant, railroad and other industrial development is 'made possible. These figures mean, therefore, that the small savings of many millions of people, instead of being frittered away in the purchase of goods that are immediately consunied, ‘which involves a destruction of capi‘tal, are gathered together and applied in the better utilization .of capital ‘through the upbuilding of industrial equipment. This means the preserva‘tion and perpetuation of the country's physical wealth and its application to the production of further wealth more eacily and in larger volume, resulfing fn a higher standard of living for all classes in the country. ! 7 ' These: tremendous savings figures indicate sound habits of thought and ":’practice on the part of millions of ,people in their personal economic af'fairs. This is an asset of no small ‘value in appraising our present business outlook. It is, in fact, one of the ‘most promising elements in the situe ation today. It means that. we not only have the resourees for prosperfty, but also enough common sense to make good use of them.

FORCING LOWER TWXES

. Gerard B. Winston, Undersecretary of the Treasury in the "American Bankers Association Journal says, “The burden of taxes must be light: ened. Per capita Federal taxes rosa from $32 in 1918 to $54 in 1920; then commmenced to drop, and have been successively $45, $32, $2B, $29 in thae last four fiscal years. It is estimated ‘that for the next fiscal year the figure will be about s§27. Wigh tha states and municipalities the o&osite tendency is disclosed. In 1918 their per capita tax was: sorpething‘ over $2O. In the nexi four years it rose to $27, $3O, $36, $3B, and later figures will undoubtedly show further in. creases.” : - He says of excessive death taxes that “excmples have been cited of ‘how the stotes and Federal govern .ment, nndor existing ' laws, can takae .more than 100 per cent of an estate, I Federal and state governments take more than the particular sourcs _of ‘taxation can stand, it will ulth 'mately destroy all revenue from that source. Afier a man has provided .for the reasonable requirements of :Xiving, the impetus to fuwther produc tion is largely the desire to leave ‘ore’s family well provided for., Sg 'long as the .individual feels that he ‘can pay the tax and still leave an es ‘tate to his family, he will increasa ‘kis efforts; but a man will not seek to build up a large fortune just ta ‘have it taken away from his family ‘at his death.” e

SBTORE CREDIT COSTS 26 PER CENT. :

In a survey of 800 farms made by the North Carolina Experiment Sta. ition,v it was found that over 40 per cent of the total credit needs for the farmer is for short term loans, either through the bank or through merchant .advances. Only one-sixth of this amount comes from banks and: the rest ‘from stores or landlords. For store credit farmers are paying over .26 per cent interest, and only a little better than half of the farmers realized this fact. The bank rate of interest at the same time was only a trifie above 6 per cent. - Practically all merchants would be delighted to go over to a cash basis. The remedy lies in the production of more food and feed and in the discontinuance of shipping in hay anad grain with their attendant high freight rates and dealers’ profits. This means the establishment of better working relations between bankers and farmers, for there is great oppertunity for educating the farmer along the line of bank credit.—Banker-Farmer.

UNDER NATURAL LAWS

Great changes are occurring in the agricultural situation. Gloom and grouch are giving way to rénewed hope. - We all rejoice that this is happening. It is being brought about through the immutable and inexorable natural laws. It is as difficult to legislate prosperity as to attempt by law to make folks honest. Agriculture inthe last analysis operates under about the same basic laws as any other business.—P. B. Doty, Agricultural Commission, American Bankers Associa (e oo o

SOUND PRINCIPLES FOR ALLIED DEBTS

Payments to America Should Be Guided by Dawes Plan, ~ Says C.-E. Mitchell.

The fundamental principles of the Dawes plan for gettling ?he European war debt guestion are applicable to the problem of the Allied debts to the United States, Charles E. Mitchell, president of thé National City Bank of New York, declares in an article in the American BankerS Association Journal. Mr. Mitchell says: “Debts between-nations are always a source of intérnational trouble, and 1 consider it of at importance that our own econbﬁ%s well as political relations. with. such countries =as France, Belgium and Italy may be improved by an early adjustment of their debts to our own national government. e : ' - Country Endorsed Dawes Plan “I hope that we are gradually learning that such debts, if unduly forcad, may result more calamitously to the commercial interests of our own country than to those of the debtor country. This talk of forcing payment of ‘every dollar to -the last penny,’ is commercially unwise. I think we may assume that the Dawes plan has had Athe indorsement of the American people through their electior® of General Dawes to the Vice Presidency ‘of the United States. That plan is one that establishes fundamental principles which may be applied ‘in considering the debts” of one nation to another resulting from war. : ~“The first principle, as I se> it, is that the yoke of the war debt shall not be held as a burden upon the people beyond the generation that ha.l to do with the war. ' This principle is clearly intimated in the fact that the industrial and railway. debentures which form the principal security and means of payment of the debt carry b per cent interest with 1 per cent amortization, which means that such obligations are to be over a period of about thirty-six years. ' ' * An llnvitation to Trouble

“Any attempt to force the carrying of such' debt burdens to the second and third generations is but an engraved invitation to further trouble. “The seccnd prineciple is that the debtor country shall be taxed to the limit while the debt remwains, but in no event to. a point whele its economic structure collapses under the strain, and, further, that the nationals of the debtor country shall in no case have a lesser burden of taxation upon them than . have ‘the nationals of the creditor country—another principle the soundness of which cannot be questioned. i .- Tha ,gbhfd“wrizwi%le is that with such taxes collected, payments therefromm shall be made to the creditor country to such an extent only as they can be made without disrupting inter‘national exchange and commerce. The soundness of this last is apparent on its face. o _ “These I regard as the fundamental principles of the Dawes plan, and all of the hundreds of pages of the socalled Dawes report are devoted to setting up the machinery by which these principles can be put into effect. “If these principles are accepted as sound then they must also be sound principles by which the payment of the debts of allied countries to us shall be determined, and we would best apply such a yardstick as our measure, rather than attempt to make popular the slogan of ‘every dollar to the last penny.” In the adjustment of our foreign relations, essential to the development of increased export and import trade, there can be no problem of greater importance than reaching a sound and final conclusion as to this frritating question of the debts of allied countries to ourselves.”

ADVERSITY A STIMULANT TO GOOD FARMING

! An interesting experience is told by Dean Dodson of a Louisiana farmer who was just about breaking even in growing cotton. One day his wife fell sericusly ill and was obliged to go to the hospital. ‘A little -later his daugh“ter was also taken te the hospital. Before he was through with this experience he was confronted “with a bill for $2,200. What was he to do? - ~ Like a good business man he be- ‘ gan to figure how he might increase his iffcome and cut down his ex--penses. 'He had a few cows that he kept for raising calves. He started to milk these and sell the product. He had some cull potatoes that were unsalable. He fed these to his cows .and some pigs which he was able to. ' buy right. Other waste products were iutilized in the same manner. In the garden he had more turnips than he needed for his own use. These he sorted, selling the best and feeding the poor ones. He consulted with his merchants as to what garden crops he might profitably grow for the local market. ' ~ . He figured that he had some idle land that he might use in growing ‘grain and hay. He enlarged his flock of poultry and took better care of it. He was more careful in the use of his auto and saved a considerable sum that ordinarily went for gasoline. By taking advantage'of the increased sources of income and by cutting out annecessary expenses he was able by ‘the end of the year to pay off his hospital bill, and in the meantinie had liscovored the seeret of sound and. ucsessful farming.—Banker-Farmer
