Bank Failures
In Seven Years
SlafA diarantv Fund PflVS
Out $2,442,274 Siuco 1914
As Result of "Walling
' ford" Transactions.
. Lincotn, Aug. 10. (Special.) J.
Eufus Wallingford transactions of
certain state bankers in Nebraska
since 1914 has forcsd directors of
the state guaranty fund to pay out
$2,442,274 in cash to keep deposi
tors in the clear, according to fig
ures compiled today from books in
the office of J. E. Hart, secretary
of the department of trade and
commerce. Twenty-three state banks
have failed since 1914.
The theory under which the guar
anty fund has been operated is to
ascertain as quickly as possible the
tosses and doubtful paper in a failed
bank and then draw a draft against
the fund for the full amount in or
der to get the bank's customers in
the clear. Then, the long and du
bious task of collecting on doubtful
paper begins.
These figures do not represent
total losses to the fund as often a
large percentage of the doubtful
instance when the First tSate Sav
ings bank at Superior was closed in
1914 a draft of $54,526 was made
against the fund covering all doubt
ful and bad paper. As years rolled
by money was collected on the
doubtful paper and 65 per cent of
the original draft has been returned
to the guaranty fund. Following is
a list of all state banks which have
failed since 1914 and the amount of
the original drafts made against the
fund to nay depositors:
F1rt 8tW Saving bank, Superior. I 14,131

New York Mayor
kWants Home Rule
For Metropolis
Hylan Says Only Way to Cut
Expenses Is for Legislation
To Stop "Mandatory
Acts."
New York, Aug. 10. Counsel for
the legislative committee investigat
ing the city administration regaled
Mayor Hylan today with figures
showing heavy municipal debts and
tax burdens and then inquired if he
knew of any means of relief. The
mayor said he knew of but one way
to cut down the taxes and that was
for the state legislature to cease
passing "mandatory legislation" and
to remove the $22,000,000 in direct
taxes which it already had imposed
on the city.
The mayor was told that municipal
taxes had increased from $35.92 per
capita in 1917 to $59.99 this year, that
the city was far beyond its constitu
tional debt limit and $24,000,000 past
the tax limitation fixed by the state
constitution at 2 per cent of the as
sessed valuation. Budget appropria
tions had grown from $230,000,000
when he took office in 1918 to $313,
000,000 this year and the municipal
pay roll, excluding school teachers'
salaries, increased $30,000,000 during
the same period.
Mayor Hylan declared he was op
nnnl tn riiHimr the salaries of citv
employes and office holders, though
he realized big corporations wcre
doing it and the cost of living had
dropped. . The main aim of his ad
ministration was to reduce taxes, he
said.
He was then told that much of
the $22,000,000 tax imposed by the
legislature covered increase in school
teachers' salaries which the law
makers authorized. The mayor said
he favored the increases and that
the city would have given them to
the teachers. His opposition, he ex
plained, was to all "mandatory
legislation." He wanted "home
rule" for New York City. Elon R.
Brown, committee counsel, conJ
tended that education was a state
function, and legislation affecting the
schools was not mandatory.
Asked for suggestions for any
economy that would reduce tax
burdens, Mayor Hylan proposed
amending the laws of 1916 to give
New York the same home rule
privileges accorded - smaller muni
cipalities. Then there would be
an opportunity to co-operate and
construct city departments, he said.
"But if wc are going to be gov
erned by mandate from Albany, we
won't get anywhere," he added.
Thieves Raid Lockers

O'Neill, Neb., Aug. 10. (Special

cr golf shoes. Tuesday night the
clubhouse was entered, 'all of the
steel lockers pried open with a pinch
bar and all the sweaters, golf hose
and shoes taken. The thieves took

Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 10. (Spe

ing insures a bumper crop of corn

Shanghai C. of C. Protests
Anglo-Jap Pact Renewal
Shanghai, Aug. 10. The Shang
hai Chinese Chamber of Commerce
heads a group of 20 Chinese bodies
in Shanghai in a vigorous protest
against any renewal of the Anglo
Japanese treaty, and messages set
ting forth the grounds of the pro
test have been forwarded to the
American congress at Washington,
the assembly in Paris, the British
cabinet and to parliaments in Lon
don, Rome, Ottawa, Melbourne and
Calcutta.
The protest directed to the Brit
ish Parliament says:
"The Anglo-Japanese alliance
heretofore has weakened the Chi
nese esteem for the British people
owing to aggression of Japan at
tributed by all in the east as having
arisen from the treaty. If renewed,
the feeling of Chinese citizens will
certainly be aggravated, reacting on
the friendly feeling toward the Brit
ish people and having a direct influ
ence on trade. We are confident
that in view of Chinese feeling in
respect ot the treaty you will
prompt your government to cease
efforts for its renewal."
