During a period of two years and eight months when the guarantee fund commission operated the bank, a lo* of $63,964.13 was incurred, this including losses on realization of as sets of $37,973.78. “Frozen assets in the form of loans to irresponsible individuals without security," was given as one of thf reasons for the failure of the bank June 24. 1925, with deposits of $329,668.04. “A large part of such loans have proved absolutely worth less.” Lax supervision of the bureau of banking in permitting the bank to operate even though reports of bank examiners showed the bank was in poor condition was cited as an other reason for failure.

Eray, former state senator, had a lighthouse complex. So fond was he of the mariner's fiiend that he built one on a point of bis land in Lake Winnebago. It was a beautiful lighthouse, and on clear nights its twinkling rays were visible seven miles out in the hike. The government licensed the light. Eventually Bray sold his prop erty and moved to Oregon. Subse quent owners, without the lighthouse complex, sought to be rid of it but to no avail. The government insisted it be operated. Mrs. John Thompson, wife of the present owner, now is the keeper. A group of lake craft owners pay for the lighthouse’s upkeep. Mr. Bray is said to have found bigger and better lighthouses in Oregon. - ---♦■♦ - - block Inflation. Prom Commerce and Finance. ‘Wflat do two and two make?” asked a proud father of his little boy. “Twenty two," answered the lau. "Why, son, don’t you know that two and two make four?” queried the lather. “Well, dad. that depends upon the way you look at it," answered the youngster. This old story is appropriate to the present situation in the United States. In almost every line of busi ness it is assumed that two and two make 22, and that bv putting properties together their value can be multiplied many times over. Hence a further advance in the stock market has occurred, based upon rumors of consolidations and mergers that arc almost fantastic. One example is a proposal to form a huge tiust that shall include all tiie power plants in the United States. It has been seriously dis cussed in high quarters. Another is a plan that contemplates as sembling all the railways of the United States into five great cor porations, and a third is a huge merger that will include most of the chain store organizations already formed. Although it seems unlikely that anv of these proposals will be real ized in the near future they have served to fire the speculative im agination. and have encouraged the buying of stocks. The result is that all the published “averages” have ascended to new highs, and the de mand for credit to carry these pur chases has pushed the total of brokers’ loans through the previous peak reached last March. Bank Vans upon collateral also have re traced their previous decline, and if there v.as reason last winteT for the concern which most bankers expressed over the dangers of the speculative absorption of credit there would seem 1o be equal cause for apprehension now.

This was $64,673.56 woht and the bank’s capital was only $12,000. Seventy five per cent of a bank’s capital may be held in real estate the investigators de clare.

Lax supervision by the depart ment of banking and frozen asseU in the form of too large to irrespon sible individuals without proper se curity are given as additional causes.

SHOWS EXPENSE BANKING PROBE Chief Auditor Shallenberg Makes Report on Prog ress of Work LINCOLN, NEB—(UP)—The cost of Nebraska’s investigation of state banking agencies will come well un der the $150,000 appropriated for it by the last legislature, it was indi cated Monday in the report of A. C. Shallenberger, in charge of the in vestigation. During the month of July he paid to his accountants, $6,062.50 and of fice expenses, including his salary of $600 a month, were $1,100, making a total of $7,162.50 expenses for July.

RESIST BOOSTS IN ASSESSMENT Telegraph and Telephone Companies Attack Work of Nebraska Board LINCOLN. NEB. — (UP)—A fifth suit attacking the increased assess ments of the state board of assess ments and equalization is on file in the supreme court with the action of the American Telephone and Tele graph company filing late Monday a petition in error and assignments of errors. The suit is in the same form as the petition filed earlier in the day by the Northwestern Bell Telephone company, which attacked the 20 per cent increased assessments levied against it by the board. The Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph com- s— pany owns only about $200,000 worth of property in the state but is interested as a stockholder in the $11,000,000 worth of property of the Northwestern Bell Telephone com pany in Nebraska. The $50,000 fran chise of the A. T. and T. is not in volved in the suit. Although the Postal Telegraph company filed notice Monday that it would resist a 30 per cent in crease assessed on $1,730,000 of property, no suit was filed. Attor neys for public service corporations contend, however, that the law merely requires them to give 10 days notice to the board of inten tion to appeal but that the appeal need not be filed in court within 10 days of the making of the assess ment. This would give public service companies until November 2 to file an appeal. The A. T. and T. petition alleges the state board did not equalize the properties of telephone companies as between counties but that its or der purports to effect a uniform in crease in the assessed valuation of all property of all telephone com panies in all counties, thus usurping the powers of the assessing and equalizing bodies of the counties.
