Plack, secretary, of the state board of health in the bulletin for October says his department spends approxi- mately $24,000 annuglly and that es- timating the population of Connecticut at a million and a quarter the sum is equal to an expenditure at the rate of two cents a year for each person.

Hartford, Oct. 20.—The steam rail- roads in the state paid in taxes for the fiscal year ending Sept, 30, the sum of $917,085.30, an increase of $406,042.00 over thé amount paid in 1915. It was however $354,203 less than they paid ten years ago. The street railroads paid $430,- 220.90; in 1915 their taxes amounted to $582,246.51.

Indianapolis, Oct. 20.—John Skel- ton Willlams, comptraller of the cur- rency, speaking here today before the Farmers’ National congress, de- scribed the relation of the federal re- £€rve law to the farmer and closed with a personal statement brought out Ty President Wilson's recent allusion to attacks on the comptroller, “I see that our president, in an ad- dress at Shadow Lawn, said the comp- troller, “tells the country that the bankers, or certain bankers, or some special interests, are after my official scalp because T, as the comptroller of the currency, have enforced the law. This is no surprise to me. “I know that T have been held up as a kind of ogre, a rew head and bloody bomes, a terror to the hanking and financial interests of the country. May be the best answer to that may be found in the records and ind putable facts, that the national banks of the ‘country today are stronger and in better condition than ever hefore; that they are more nvmerous than when T became comptroller, are more prosperous and show a smaller pro- portion of failures and losses than was ever known in their history: and my office Is receiving a steady stream of applications for charters for new na- tional banks and for permission to in- crease the capital of the existing Tanks. “My official scalp is not especid’'v dear to me.

This is precisely what the federal reserve system Is daing in large measure, and we hope the rural credits system will do in even larger measure.” “God Almighty alone,” he said, “knows how many strong men have had strength, hope and power sapped by unfair interest rates, how many promising boys and girls deprived of opportunity and driven to worthless- ress and crime by the same direful, irexcrable power.” “This is the first time since the be- ginning of the ‘national hanking rstem half a century ago,” Comptrol- ler Williams said, “that the farmer has been able to borrow on the se- curity of his farm from any national bank.” new federal the grasping advantage GIVES LIFE FOR OTHERS L.
