ANKERS universally recognize that the prime (feconomic need,of the nation Is the stimulation of sound Industrial and commercial activities and recent travels ' over a wltje rtretcfr^of the c o u n t r y have shown me that they everywhere are malting all effort possible, to lend constructive financial support within the scope 6f t h e i r p r o p e r b a n k i n g f u n c tions to promoting the expansion, of business activity. Frequently in times past when our country suffered from an economic depression and consequent unemployment on a large scale, the rise of some broad .new industrial development, such for instance as a new Industry like the automobile industry, has been a powerful factor in stimulating ** turn or an accelerated growth of national prosperity. Such a movement means the creation of-new wealth, the employment of large groups of people oh useful Hues and as a consequence the production and distribution of sound, effective purvh4$lng power, which Is a form of wholesome economic stimulant that his no tie of the •rils of monetary inflation, A New F«r« far Uajhw Perhaps we la*# at haad. tf not rising o£ a wholly a«w industry, a measursi>i« equivalent ta the potentialities of a widespread rebuilding and modernizing mcvemgat such aa Home renovising, plant remodeling, the putting of our railroads on a biigh speed air conditioned basis and other valuable developments in the construction field. The effects of^uch activities on employment and many lines of business would be most beneficial and 1 can repeat without reservation that we bankers are willing and eager to play our full economic-part in any such constructive developments. I t - h a s b e e t a made to a p p e a r t h a t money lias not gone to work because, of, the timidity of bankers rather than what is a true explanation, because business men have not had enoughxorT" Tldence in the business outlook to. borrow the dollar frdm the banker and put ICto work. ; 6 The basic requisite to the expansion of commercial bank loans is sound, normal business conditions on which to conduct sound, formal barik&ig operations. The best business a bank can wish for Is the opportunity to loan money to successful business men and manufacturers imbued with confidence to enter upon aggressive business en-, terprises and endowed with the ability to bring them to successful conclusions. Such loans mean business activity for the community, growing pay rolls and prosperity, and the banker wants to make them because to be identified with such activities not only means profits to him but, additionally, brings him the reward of good will in his community. There is no better proof of the great desire of banks to take care of tbe short term requirements of the business world than to point out the abnormally low rates at which this demand is being supplied at the present time. Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON BANK DEPOSITS WERE SAFEST INVESTMENTS High Government Official Says No Investments Except U. S. Bonds Suffered as Little Loss M Deposits in Closed Banks First "New Deal" Cabinet Baby WASHINGTON, D. C.--No form of investments except Government bonds Buffered as little loss as deposits In closed banks during the years 1931-32- 33, Jesse H. Jones, Chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, declared in a recent address. "A point generally overlooked 1& connection with bank failures In this period, Is that upon the whole, depositors In closed banks Will get a some" what larger percen^e than has been true In bank failures over a period of say twentyiflve years," Mr. Jones said. "Heretofore they have gotten about 58%, but in these wholesale bank closings, my estimate Is that they will, upon the average, get about 65% of their deposits. "Another point worthy of mention Is that a depositor in a closed bank loses only a part of his deposit, while the bank stockholder loses all, plus a stock assessment. *'No_form of investment, except Government bonds, has Suffered as little loss as deposits In closed banks, and while 1-appreciate that there is little consolation In this fact, those- who had their savings invested in stocks, bonds, mortgages, real estate, industrial Investments, or in businesses of any kind, have had losses very much 'gffater, and in a much larger percentage, than have depositors in closed banks.' "It Is for these reasons, and others not "necessary here to enumerate, that it is not possible to justify paying depositors in closed banks with the taxpayers' money." . When the Fusion administration .cfliije Into power and Gen. John F. O'Ryan was appointed police commissioner, there was a big upheaval In the department. Of all the high ranking officers, but one was retained in his old capacity. That one was John Sullivan, assistant chief Inspector in charge of detectives, His record was gone over with a fine tooth comb. It was found that through a dozen,, administrations he had fought for hon- (esty in the^epartment. It was found also that his service from the very beginning had been a combination of courage and Intelligence. Back In liX)3, he stopped a runaway horse before It dashed into a group of school children. He was In a hospital for weeks with a broken kneecap. He solved a puzzling series of robberies by working on his own. time and capturing three holdilp men single-handed. That brought him his first promotion. He trappee} a petty politician who was swindling housewives aud was promoted again. jAa a result of high honors in an examination, he became cap^ tain of detectives. Since then lie has solved crimes with no other evidence than a knot or ft broken key. His name seldom appeared ifi the newai^ yer tt^t kind eaf a d e t e c t i v e . ' \ - V ' ' There, are many Sullivan anecdotes, eye!)i If he won't talk about himself, lie Is given credit for knowing every gangster in New York. Some time ago, government agents spent six months :and a lot of money looking for a member of the l*te Frankle Vale's sang. The police department wasn't asked for help but finally in desperation. one of the government men appealed to Sullivan. He walked over to a boarding house across the street and brought back the fugitive. His memory for places and localities Is as good as It is for faces. He conducts the line-up ahd has obtained many a confession because" a suspect' has slipped in giving his address, it being highly disconcerting to have a six-foot inspector with a piercing gray eye fling back7"""Ycm'ce ing, that„ place is a vacant lot." i,« - Inspector Sullivan's opinion of erimiaals is not high. In htis opinion,- the , old saying that there is honor among thieves is all wrong. Once an interviewer asked" him about the code of •the underworld. "Code of the underworld?" snapped the inspector. "That's the bunk. Criminals are dirty - rate with no courage and no honor!" • • * A story now going the rounds gives me a chuckle because, it might be called, "New York Courtesy" : A man got up and gave a woman a~ seat in the subway. The woman fainted. When she was revived, she thanked the man--and he fainted! •I • * * -------- . r 'On one of the coldest days of the year, I saw Joseph P.

He carries $3,000,000 life insurance and is a director in the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Brass rails are rather scarce now. For a while, they were plentiful. Not only were they available for customers of hold-over speakeasies but a number of proprietors of legal places, despite the rules against vertical drinking, put in bars.

SLOCUM'S LAKE University Belongs to the Th« Gnlyefrsity of Illinois Is truly an Institution of (tie people. • Jt Is one. of the best, and most comprehensive examples of what a state university Should be--an agency t^ develop every intellectual, Industrial, commercial, and professional interest of the state, as well as to* teach. What It has been able to accomplish $is due to the interest of the people of [Hindis who through their representatives In the State Government have supplied the resources necessary to carry on this jgreat educational enterprise. They have insisted that everything be done to place and keep it in the front rank of universities and colleges. It belongs to the citi zens of Illinois. Its .governoring body Is the Board of T-rustees, eleven in number, who are elected directly the people of the State and who serve Without salary. The Governor and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction are exofflcio members. The other nine a re elected for six years, their terms b'e- Ing so arranged that, three expire every two years and are Ailed at genera) State elections. The functions of the Board are legislative. It maps'out general policies; all appointments to the staff are subject to its approval: salaries, by law. are determined by It; and all assignments of funds are made by the Board for Bpeciflc purposes. The annual budgets and the biennial appropriation requested of the Legislature for running the institution are subject to its approval. Th® Board meets monthly and at such other tiroes as are necessary , for the transaction of all of this business and its proceedings are published and reported to the Governor and the General Assembly of Illinois.

University Economy Saves State Money How the University reduced its-expenditures for thfe year ended June 30, 1033, as compared with the preceding year is shown by the annual financial report of the University for that year Issued by Lloyd Morey, Comptroller.

The corresponding expenditures fOr 1931-32 were $6,590,- 505 and for 1930-31 amounted to (6,676,650. Professor Morey further points out that the budget for corresponding activities for tha current year 1933-34 has been reduced ttalf-a million more, or a total of $5.446,7-07 Further reductions were made tn every other possible direction.
