Last Wednesday The Citizen chron- icled a step forward in the bridge loan ap- plication by announcing that the Recon- struction Finance Corporation had placed the application of the Overseas Bridge Corporation on the preferential! list.: To- day, just one week later, a step backward must be recorded. The supreme court ouster against the Monroe and Dade coun- ties’ efforts to obtain the loan does not checkmate but aggravatingly prolongs the action of the R. F.C. According to a report recently given out, the city of Quebec, with a population ; of approximately 100,000, was the scene | of only one murder in a whole year. | In the UOnited States there are on an average approximately 10 murders, each year out of each 100,000 of population while in the cities of Memphis, Jackson-} ville and Birmingham the annual rate dur-! ing the past 10 years has averaged nearly 60 murders per 100,000 or 60 times that of | Quebec. | In spite of the earnest efforts of | sociologists and publicists to determine the cause and suggest a remedy for the’ de- plorable crime situation, no appreciable headway has been made in that direc- tion. Attempts to explain crime as an after- math of the war fall flat when it is con- sidered that the homicide rate in England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and other English-speaking coun- tries averages only about one-tenth that of the United States, yet all these were in the war from beginning to end and suffered from its effects in every way immeasurably more than we did. It is declared by a recent writer that only one murderer out of 160 is executed in New York, while 70 out of 100) are hanged in London. This may have some- thing to do with our high murder rate. ONE MURDER IN YEAR | | THE NEW CABINET With March 4 little more than a month away, the personnel of the Roosevelt cabinet, with the exception of the post- master general, is still as much in the dark as ever. Guesses of all kinds are being made public, but one man’s guess is seem- ingly as good as another’s. The sugges- tion that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, may be named as secretary of the treasury, seems to find favor in many quarters. Senator Glass seems to be quite popular with Wall Street, yet he is not regarded as primarily a Wall Street representative. Another rumor to which much credence is given is the appointment of Senator Walsh of Montana, as attorney general. One thing is certain and that is that the cabinet as finally selected will be chosen from the standpoint of real ability and not from the standpoint of political expedience. When Franklin D. Roosevelt becomes president of the United States, the country Henry W. Grady, the great southern editor and orator, died 43 years ago, but the advice he gave to the farmers of his native Georgia and the south many years ago.is as sound today as it was when it was uttered. One particular gem of his which has been often republished is of particular significance just now. It applies equally to north or south, provided the principal money crop of any particular section be substituted for “cotton,” where it occurs in the original. Grady said: “When every farmer in the south shall eat bread from his own fields and meat Oar Government —How It Operates By William Bruckart semmmececnenccnenncnnncns| THE MONEY STARTS TO YOU 'T USED to be said as represent-| | ative of the acme of impossibili-| | ties that “you can’t get blood out of; ; a turnip.” I believe the person who! ‘used that expression must have ob-, ! served thecontrol that is exercised as @ protection for the government’s stock of money in the bureau of en- | graving and printing.

He sends the order through for currency, if he has insufficient stocks that were stored with him by the treasury in advance. In the case of the na- tional bank, the application goes to the treasury, for national banks op- erate under different laws, and it can get the new currency only if it puts up a certain type of govern- mént bond as security and to pro- tect the treasury for the money it is releasing to that bank. H Second, the proper officials of the treasury approve the applications. They notify the director of the bu- reau of engraving and printing, or some official designated by him, of the amount of currency to be fur- nished, the denominations and ship- ping details. He gets that order in writing and in duplicate, one copy of which fs delivered to the men | who actually start the money in your direction if the application came from a bank in your town. ' Third, after the order for delivery and shipping of the currency has been fully executed, it then takes the joint action of three men to get that currency out of the giant stor- age vaults where it has been “aged.” It has stayed there, perhaps, three months, possibly longer, so that it is “cured” and ready to stand the tests to which it is subjected when METRIE RNS!

Bat to get back to the three men’ who let the money get out of its hiding place; one of them repr sents the secretary of the treasury, a second the treasurer of the United States, and the third repre- sents the director of the bureau. Each has a key. None can do any- thing about releasing that money alone. Each has to turn the key in the great lock. At last the bundles of bills, de- scribed in the order, are counted out, The truck, armored with steel and with armed guards aboard, stands waiting with doors opening into the cavernous interior standing ajar. Each bundle, tied and sealed, is transferred to the truck, whose doors click as do the vault doors. The truck moves toward the great building that is the union terminal of all railroads entering Washing- ton. Adjoining it, is the central post office of the city. To one of these places is the destination of the truck, In the meantime, something else has been happening in respect to this shipment of currency. The prop- er officials of the bureau and the three-man team have made out their reports, and they have gone to the treasury and the Federal Reserve board, or the treasurer of the United States. If the shipment was destined for @ Federal Reserve bank, a message goes by telegraph to that Federal Reserve bank.
