’WELFARE DEPT. GETS WARNING iPetty Grafters Preying On Old Age 1 Pension Applicants, ~ The Noble county department of public welfare wag informed by the state department of public welfare that there have been certain activities in parts of Indiana which have been reported to the state office which are to be watched by all county departments with the purpose of putfing an immediate stop to such practices. Information has reached the state office that in some localities petty grafters are preying on applicants for old age assistance. These grafters call on the applicants and solicit money, which they say is to cover postage for mailing the assistance warrants. They also say that if the people pay them money they will be-able to give them much more prompt attention and give them more assurance of assistance being granted. It is not believed that there are any gctivities of this kind going on in Noble county, but if there are they should be reported to the county department immediately, and steps will be taken to notify the proper law enforcing officials and the state department who will put an immediate stop to such activities. Under no circumstances should any applicant for assistance, pay any money to anyone no matter who the person represents himself to he or to be acting for. May Get Cabinet Post. The vacancy in President’s Roose velt’s cabinet created by the death of Secretary off War George H. Dern will remain unfilled for at least 20 days, Washington officials have indicated, but that act failed to stop widespread speculation in political circles, as to the ultimate successor to the war portfolio. ‘One name was getting more early mention among informed politicians than all others combined. It was that of Governor Pmul V. McNutt of Indianae. : ~ Pressure was also expected to bring about the elevation of Assistant Secretary of War Harry W. Woodring, former governor of Kansas, to the post. - Meanwhile those close to Mr. Roosevelt expressed the belief there certainly would be mno appointmnt to the vacancy within a month.

American and State Banking Associations Collaborate in Investigation LOAN SERVICES STUDIED Activities of the Government in the Banking Field Are Reviewed and Position of Banks Analyzed NEW YORK.—Detailed bank researches, covering all phases of practical operating and economic facts and conditions related to banking, are being made by the American Bankers Association. The resulting material is being placed at the disposal of all state banking associations, which in many instances are extending the researches of the national association in their own states. These activities are’ said to be a part of the general program of banking development which is being carried on by the organized banking business. Among the most extensive researches being conducted by the American Bankers Association is that of its Committee on Banking Studies, which is making a detailed survey of Federal Government lending agencies and policies. The basic ‘material, which is kept up to date by continuing studies, shows where the Government agencies get the money they lend, what liability the Government assumes, what subsidy it extends, what return it gets, for what and to whom the money goes and on what terms it is loaned. The Government-in Banking “It is not the intention of the committee to express its viewpoint about any agency,” says the foreword to this material. “Its intention is only to determine the facts. These facts properly assembled and presented should help banks to meet Government competition if and where it exists. The committee believes the Government entered the lending field at a critical period in order to aid banks and financial institutions. If the time has come for the Government to withdraw, it is the duty of bankers to demonstrate their readiness to take care of all sound credit needs.” It adds that the banks must be equipped with full factual material as to the Government’s emergency lending activities and practices, and that full cooperation has been given the committee by Government agencies in obtaining facts. Binders of the material gathered have been placed ‘by the committee in the hands of state associations. Investigation of Postal Savings The Committee on Banking Studies has also made a survey of the Postal Savings System throughout the United States to ascertain to what extent it is competing with chartered banks. Questionnaires were sent to banks in all places where Postal Savings depositories are operated and their answers will be analyzed as a .basis for the committee’s findings. The Bank Management Commission of the American Bankers Association has made a nation-wide survey covering the movement among banks to increase their earning abilities “through fair and legitimate rates for services they render their depositors.” It has developed a plan of account analysis as a basis of fair charges. “Al! business in order to justify its existence is founded on the economic principle that a reasonable return should be expected from services rendered,” the commission says.

Personal Income Loans The Bank Management Commission has also formulated methods for installing and operating personal income loan departments in banks. “This plan contemplates making loans primarily to individuals and small business concerns, based upon the character and assured incomes of the borrowers, as distinguished from the usual basis for ‘commercial loans,’ ” the commission says. It points out that a large part of the population is not now making use of available bank credit and that “to these people the personal loan department extends a valuable service which at the same time is profitable to the bank.” It adds that it is “the duty of the banks to educate the public to come to the bank for all financial services. Small borrowers should be informed that the local bank is willing to care for their demands.” Other Researches Other researches are being made by the Economic Policy Commission of the association dealing with shrinkages in liquid ecommercial loans caused by economic changes in the nation’s business methods while the studies of the lending investment powers of this class of bank, the present status of the real estale invest-

ment field and of detailed data by states on ‘earnings and expenses. The Savings Division has gathered the facts showing savings in banks of all types, the number of savings depositors, the per capita savings for the country as a whole and the effects of current economic and social changes upon the savings habits of the American people. The association’s State Bank Division has issued the most recent figures available as to the detailed conditions of state banks, showing steady improvement in the position of the state banks, with marked expansion in their aggregate resources, while the Trust Division has compiled a guide to fees with a recommended cost accounting system. Indiana Farm Boarq Named Eleven members of the board of directors for the Indiana division of the Roosevelt agricultural committee were named by Floyd J. Hemmer, state chairman. Directors named included Paul Bachelor, Angola, Fourth district. Hemmer, state genator and Zormer director of the state Farm Bureau, said the group will work with the agriculture and farm division of the Democratic state committee to win the farm vote for the presidents farm program. Wwilliam H. Settle, former president of the state Farm Bureau is director of the national committee. The Business Outlook NEW YORK.—The natural forces of recovery have demonstrated their strength and have a momentum which may reasonably be expected to carry the country into new high ground, says “Banking,” the publication of the American Bankers Association, in its August issue. The momentary stimulation following the distribution of “bonus funds to the veterans has practically died away and is no longer an important business factor. A certain degree of uncertainty arising from the national political campaign is unavoidable, the magazine says. Subscribe Now For The Ligonie» Bananer.

Foreign Trade The Commerce and Marine Commission of the American Bankers Association has made a report which shows that the foreign trade of the world for the year 1935 on the basis of its estimated physical volume was 78.9 per cent of the 1929 level. This was 2.1 per cent above the volume of 1934 and is the highest since 1929. The gold values of world trade were much lower due to the lower commodity prices in January, 1936. The combined index of 75 countries showed 35.7 per cent of the 1929 average. National Bank Growth Comptroller of the Currency O’Connor announced recently that total deposits of the 5,374 national banks in the United States on June 30, 1936, the date of the last call made for statements of condition, aggregated $26,200,453,000. The figure is a new high record for national banks, exceeding by $1,340,998,000, or 5.39%, the amount reported as of March 4, 1936, the previous high record. The current figures show also that deposits increased $3,682,207,000, or 16.35%, over the amount reported as of June 29, 1935, the date of the corresponding call a’' year ago. wWall Paper—Knight's Drug Store
