Mannfactorer ci Doirolt Boosts
tiic Exposition ,
W. B. Knickerbocker , a prominent
manufacturer of Detroit , Mich. , is an
enthusiastic booster for San Fran
cisco in the fight for congressional
approval of its proposed Panama-Pa
cific exposition.
"I believe that if the members of
congress could' be brought cut to Cal
ifornia and given a gllmpsu of things
as they exist here they " /ould vote
solidly for San Francisco when the
exposition matter comes before them
next December , " said Mr. Knicker
bocker.
"It is a human instinct to move
westward , and the great movement
toward western America * is just now
beginning. This is a great , marvel
ous , new country/of which we in the
east knqw next to nothing.
'There is no travel south. The ex
position belongs here where the people
ple are coming. They will co ae to
the exposition through the canal and
then go back through this marvelous
western country. Many , however ,
impressed -by the marvelous re
sources of California , will remain
here for gcod. This scenery , the
mountains , the forests and all the
rest of it Is not approached by any
thing in Europe. Thousands of people
ple who now go to Europe would
rather come here if they knew what
Is here. They are beginning to learn.
-The exposition will do wonders for
thejvest. The interest of- the coun
try at large demands that 'the' expo
sition be held here. " ,

Financial Standpoint.
COMPARISON OF TWO STATES
Bank Statistics Show That the Pa
cific Coast Commonwealth Out
classes Her Southern Ri-/p' Some
Items That Ought to Tell Heavily
as Arguments For the City of San
Francisco.
"With no design to lay bare a ri
val's hard circumstances , bat to as
certain definitely the rela vo and
comparative ability of California and
Louisiana , and of San Franei-.co and
New Orleans , to finance and handle
a world's fair , the Californn Expcsi-
committee has been looking into the
banking figures of the two stales and
two cities , " says the San Francisco
Call. "The showing is tremendously
against Louisiana and New Orleans.
"Herewith are some items that
ought to tell heavily as financial
arguments for San Francisco They
are taken from the report of the na
tional monetary commission and re
late almost wholly to conditions on
April 28. 1909. That they aexact
and authentic there can be no ques
tion.
"The results of the comparison are
striking. For example , with compar
atively equal populations , California
has four della of banking resources
to Louisiana's one. The savings de
posits of the states are 13 to 1 in
California's favor , ranking California
fourth in the Union in this respect
and Louisiana twenty-fourth.
"San Francisco's 200,000 savings
depositors have $154,000,000 tucked
away ; New Orleans shows 55,000
such depositors with only 517,000,000
*
laid up against that rainy day. San
Francisco's savings banks paid their
passbook holders in interest in the
year covered by the report upward
of $5,000 000 ; New Orleans savings
depositors in th same period were
credited with a little more than a
quarter of a million.
"According to the report , of the
comptroller of the currency , the na
tional banks of San Fran"sco in
creased their total resources $103-
000,000 in the year 1909-191C ; New
Orleans national banks increased a
little more than $2,000,000.
"Below are the precise figures :
