Our Place in the World.
Ruth said to her mother-inlaw,
Naomi, "Where thou goest I will go,
Thy people shall be my people, thy
God shall be my God, and where thou
diest, I shall die, and there be bur
ied." This was a strong proposition,
but she meant it and made good on it
as well. The story goes Elimelich,
and Naomi, husband and wife, with
their two sons, Mahlon and Chillon,
when crops were poor and times were
hard in Canaan, went to Moab, where
they resided for a number of years,
and where the sons married, Mahlon
to Ruth, and Chillon to Orpha. Time
went on, Elimelich sickened and died,
likewise also Mahlon and Chillon,
leaving Naomi, Ruth and Orpha be
reft of their husbands. Plenteous
crops and good times returned in
Canaan, and a homesickness coming
over Naomi, she longed to return to
her native land. She so announced
and both daughters-in-law wept sore,
and Ruth and Orpha said they would
return with Naomi. She plead with
them not to leave their native land
and we have what Ruth said, as
above. Orpha was persuaded, but not
Ruth, she had decided to go with
her mother-in-naw and did. When
they arrived at Bethlehem she adapt
ed herself to the surroundings and
gleaned in the fields of Boaz. and
finally became his wife, and was a
great grandmother of Jesu3, but many
generations away.
Living With Other People.
Children and young people who
come from a foreign country to be
come American citizens by adoption,
they more readily take up the ideas,
policies and the entire life of this
country far more readily than do
older people who have become thor
oughly imbued with the ideas, prac
tices and the very life of the coun
try from which they came. In order
to get anywhere in this world we
must know the lives of the people
with whom we mingle, and also have
an interest in the things which in
terest them, this was the case of
Ruth. To make best citizens we must
have an interest in the things which
make best citizens. We must be truly
American and we must be truly
Christian.
America the Melting Pot.
Such has this country been called,
and in truth it is so, for to our shores
have during the past century been
coming peoples from all portions of

the world. Our forefathers came here
to establish a country where they
could enjoy freedom, and a great por
tion of that freedom, to worship God
according to the dictates of their own
conscience and according to truth of
the Bible. America has a big problem
on her hands. We are now receiving
a half million people from other
countries. We are to make Christian
Americans of them. The way we
shall do this determines just how
good Christian Americans we are. We
receive now, in that half million peo
ple, Bohemians, Moravians, Monte
grans, Chinese, Slavonians, Cutftins,
Dalmatians, Dutch, Flemish, French,
Finish Germans, Greeks, Hebrews,
Irish, Poles, Italians, Koreans, Mag
ars, Mexicans, Portuguese, Spanish,
Russians Norwegians, Swedes, Danes,
Scotch, Syrians, Turks and an almost
endless list. What are we to do with
them? It is up to us to make of them
Americans for if we fail, then our
nation also fails, and we are to make
Christians of them or else our nation
and humanity will fail. We see how
great a problem is now at the door of
America. America has always meas
ured up to the problem which was
given her and let us hope we may in
this instance.
True to God and Loyal to Country
This we must be and, this we must
teach all new citizens, of this great,
free country, whether they are born
here of come knocking at our doors
for admission. Humanity says we
cannot turn those who come with the
intent of being true American Chris
tians, away.
It has been our misfortune to have
dumped on our shores many who
were not good citizens of the country
from which they came, and with the
problem before us of making this
the home of the very best people on
earth we cannot afford to allow crim
inals and lawless elements pushed on
us, when there are good people com
ing with high motives. We must be
discriminating in order to maintain
the high standard of Christian
Americanism. We have to live with
other people, and to live our true
lives is the very best way to succeed
in making the other people the best
Reject the lawless, and make the bet
ter element better. As some one has
said, when we are true to God, true
to ourselves, we cannot be false to
any man.

there was no fraud in the transac

New Inspection
Plan Justified
Bank Supervision Efficiency Said to
Warrant Higher Cost Abolish
Examination Fees
Nebraska's enlarged and intensi
fied program of state bank super
vision and examinations, together
with the work that is being done to
rehabiltate failed banks through
composition settlements with their
depositors, is costing more than
twice as much as the indicerent
system of banking administration
formerly in vogue; but the results
being obtained under the new plan
of operation seem to justify this
increased expendtiure.
The state treasury will contribute
only $20,000 more to pay the cost of
overseeing banks and related acti
vities than was spent in the prev
ious biennium. The remainder of the
added expense will be met by the
proceeds of special assessments levied
upon the banks themselves, as pro
vided by one of the last legislature's
enactments.
These assessments for the year
1929 amount to a little more than
$80,000, which indicates that $160.
O00 will be available from that
source of the biennial period begin
ning July 1 last and ending June
30, 1931.
Oirect appropriations totalling
J190.000 were made by the legisla
ture for the use of the state com
merce department and its banking
bureau. Thus in the aggregate,
thre will be $350,000 at the com
mand of the banking authorities for
carrying on their work.
In the proceding biennium the
grand total for banking and de
partmental administration, including
$30,000 for the guaranty fund com
mission, was $170,000. All of this
sum came out of the state treasury.
Bank Investigation Extra.
Foregoing figures take no account
of the $150,000 appropriation made
by the legislature for an investiga
tion and audit of yearly 300 failed
state banksjThat work is being
done by an entirely different organ
ization which operates independent
Iy of the banking bureau and the
commerce department and ha3 no
connection with them. The investi
gation was ordered' in response to a
widespread demand to have the facts
ascertained and made public in re
gard to the causes of these failures
and in what degree they were due
to mismanagement or criminal acts
of bank officers and lax supervision
by tbe state.
While the guaranty fund commis
sion was in existence, it expended a
large amount of mouy each year in
administering receiverships and dis
bursements were charged against
moneys derived from the receiver
ships and assets and did not consti
tute any burden upon the state
treasury. All receiverships are now
in the hands of the state commerce
department, and its expense of
handling them is met in the same
way.
The additional money realized
from special assessments on banks,
under the new law, has enabled the
banking bureau to enlarge its force
of examiners and also employ some
helpers to aid the regular examiners
in making periodic checks on all
going banks. Present supervision is
much more thorough and complete
than ever before.
Besides a dczen bank examiners
and their assistants, the trade and
commerce department has five ex
aminers looking after building and
loan associations and trust companies
and three special auditors doing such
work as may be assigned them from
time to time.
Examination Fees Abolished.
Under the practice that used to
be followed, when an examiner
visited a bank and checked over its
accounts, notes, and records, he pre
sented a bill to the institution for
his timetrfa specified rate per day
plus hotel and traveling expenses.
In that way every bank paid di
rectly for its own examination.
Now the system is different. The
examiners make their rounds and
inspect one bank after another, but
no statements of per diem and ex
penses are submitted! Instead, tbe
state commerce department figures
how much money it will need to
support its activities for the whole
year, and then levies a percentage
assessment on the deposits of all
banks to raise that amount. When
a bank has paid its assessment, it
is through. The examiners and
helpers get their salaries out of this
fund.
For 1929, bank assessments have
yielded $83,000 for the purpose of
carrying on the supervisory work,
and a like amount is anticipated for
1930. This compares with only $65,
843 collected as examination fees in
the whole previous fiscal biennium
The annual revenue for that purpose
has thereby been increased consid
erably more than 100 per cent.
The trade and commerce depart
ment has also collected $26,500 this
year in special fees assessed against
building and loan associations and
trust companies, which will likewise
defray the most of their examina
tions and supervision.
How Appropriations Compare.
Aside from the revenue that comes
to the state commerce department
directly from banks and other con
cerns under its jurisdiction, it gets
the following amounts from the state
treasury:
Departmental salaries and wages.
$25,000 for this biennium, compared
with $5,400 in the previous one.
Deparmental maintenance, $15,-
000; previous biennium, $1,000.
Secretary's salary, $15,00 0; previ
