QYFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS % _ EDUCATION—THE KEY-NOTE The largest gathering of bangers the yvorld has ever known met to take part in. the annual convention of the Ameri- can. Bankers’ Assgeiation,’held in' New York during the: first week-of this month. And what was the underlying keynote,- the-underlying objective of'the whole pro- ceedings? -~ Education: éducation first, of such bank rs as needed education, and second, the feducation of the American people. Education in what direction ‘or direc- toins? i _First—The enlightenment of the rank ‘and file of the American people regard- iing"the real status of the ten billions 'owed"'ug by foreign governments so that '.thg‘,yg‘my may be paved for bringing about ‘such modification and readjustment as the.majority of the ablest bankers on both sides ‘of the Atlantic have concluded is .ahsol_qlggly necessary in the interest of the whole world, including America’s own prosperity. ~~Second—The education, the arousing of the public concernfng the subtle, but fa- talidangers which would be brought upon the:nation were any of the various chemes for manufacturing enormous titles of paper money endorsed by the public and adopted by the government. . Third—The education of the bankers jfro®izal parts of the country and, through ithe ~bankers,- the people in all parts of ithe cotumntry, regarding the origin, train- ing,"the experience and the character of ‘a great majority of the men who manage e. financial affairs of New York, and sthe further nation wide financial services Fen ergd by the financial institutions, lo- cat®d™n New York, the object being of .gcoti!%e',’;"to drive home tHe fact—and it yis a fact—that New, York is what it is be- !c!fi‘ie’of the indispensable part it plays in ‘the financial, industrial and commercial fun¥toing and process -of the United ‘States.— B, C. Forbes in Forbés Maga- kine §——4 “"An honest horse-radish manufacturer is about to go out of business and into bank- ruptey. His'industry is being invaded by horse-radishers who use bulrush. roots.

J. Burke, extending an invitation to women of the community and inviting them to bring new or partly, worn articles such as sheets, pillow, cases, towels, wash cloths, ete. . This is a cause in which all women of the city should become vitally interested and those desiring to be of some help are urged to communicate with Mrs. M. W. Deputy or Mrs, E. A. Barker. §———F§ FAIR CHANCE FOR RAILROADS Over regulation is the cause ascribed by Secretary Hoover for the car shortage from which the country is now suffering. He declares that the railroads have been sa hampered by restrictive legislation in the last twenty years that they find it dif- ficult to finance the cost of new equip- ment necessary to keep pace with the in- creasing industrial needs of the country. Mr. Hoover estimates that the car short- age each year levies a charge against the producers and consumers of the necessiti- es of life equal to the annual cost of running the government. Fortunately the. railroads are not be- ing persecuted now as they once were, and there is a decided tendency to recognize the ncessity ,of ~ a reasonable profit for railroad capital if .the transportation system is to be meintained: §- 3 Poor construction causes.the collapse of theater.” That was the verdict in the case of the theater that fell, killing and injur- -ing two-score or more of children, in New Jersey.
