The bankers conventions occurred In the middle of June when oily, county and state budgets wero long since prepared according to the statutes, the money largely spent and the remainder formerly placed. It was accordingly an extremely inopportune time for the banks to step out with that kind of a procedure. The Board of Equalization knew this and if they had used the moral power of the taxpayers which wxs in their hands and shown clearly to the banks the situation of the schools, the cities, and the counties of . the state, that meet their share of the government upkeep, why should we farmers worry over our taxes? Suppose we join in the march. While others commented, I thought this was a demrocracy of the people and for the people, a country that insures equal rights to all, but I find that I am mistaken, for its seems that it is being ruled exclusively by the moneyed pow er, aud the people jhave but little to say. But the people have definitely learned what it was all about and sooner or lated they will be heard from and such actions will prove 'to be a boomerang, for there is a law of compensation which takes note of all incidents, (weighs them in the balance and eventually the price must be paid. STATE BOARD OF EGUALlZ-ATIOtold, Was it a tragedy? Yes, the most disquieting tragedy that has happened to the people of this Stale since the Piomers entered the valleys in 1847, In the line of finances. It came like a thunder-bol- t out of a clear sky. No warning, no previous intimation, lienee no preby paration had been provided those whom the storm hit. When the bankers at their con-vention iu Logan last June united to a man in a resolution declaring that they would not meet their nsu- a! yearly tax, something happened that no one could reasonably ex- pert. But tho hanjters had well grepated their program, all details apparently carelully arranged and Attorneys engaged to defend their 1 -- iYs'uluUon. These attorneys, we aie were Jo receive a large sum of money, it is said between $30,000 'and $40,000 of the taxpayers money for their services. Remember, 1 not ead the taxpayers money the banks money for it was to come out of the amount these able lawyeis could save for the hanks out of the taxes it was expected they were expected to moot. The writer has resided in Logan over sixty-livyears and during tho aduit period of tiiai time lias tried to do his bit toward the up building of this city, county and state. Has done some observing, but never before has there been such a stage setting with any line of business against all the rest of the State in reiusing to do their part in the government upkeep.

On December 31, 1929, the total deposits savings and checkings in the three Logan banks totalled These are public fig$3,522.S15. ures published in the papers. The total loans were $4,079,870 which means that about 75 per cent of tho sbove deposits out working and bringing in interest. flow- - much of the balance was In Wall Street biimnng in a handsome daily balance interest I will not venure the guess. For easy figuring let us place the average deposits for 1929 at the round figure of $5,500 000. Oi me above amount $2,Ul'i,ni0 was checking deposos on which hanks pay no interest and $3,500,-uosavings on which 4 per cent and less was paid. Banks in this state are allowed to loan 85 ppr cent of their checking deposits and a larger percentage of the savings. 85 per cent of the $2,0oo,(ioo ii $1,700,000 and that sum loaned at 8 per cent to the in rarpinps And this amount divided between 'he three banks gives each one share 1 o $45. 0. All banks are using as their excuse tor not meeting lin-l- i tjxes the fact that r raiding and Loan iations and Mortgage and Loan Associations escape the same tax demanded of the hanks and they laim that these associations are their real competitois. According!,, tl'c. refer us to Fedor al statute No. 5219 and our state act m tion No. 587 9 of our state leiws of 1925, wlm h, by the way. the bankers themselves lobbied tnroug'n the Legislature, but was vetoed by the Governo, and then pas-e- d over hs veto by the bankers efforts.

BANKERS PAY NO INTEREST in-a- ON $2, COO, 000 The bankers in their argument the fact that seem to over-loow iule the B. & L. and the Mtg.

This $136,000 divided between the three banks each bank $45,338. So while the banks may be at a slight k diidvant?.8 with B, & L. Ass'D? in this one thing, they have a large a ivantage oven- - them in this free money carried on hand, and knowing as we do that the banks of our city last year made more clear tuuue; u previous year of their history, we are not inclined to sympathise with them very seriously, and at least 99 per cent of the taxpayers feel that the banks are not playing the game fairly. The B. & L. Assn is our city is closely allied to and located in one of our banks and is an asset to that bank so there can lie no complaint from there The only Mtg. Loan Assn is located in one of the other bank buildings, and both the bank and the Mtg. Loan Is officered by the same individuals and they seem to work most harmoniously into each others hands.

BUT THAT $136,000 INTEREST The figures above I believe have made clear that on the $2,000,000 checking deposit In these banks they received $136,000 interest last year. That $2,000,000 and the $3,- 500,000 savings belong, of course, to tho taxpayers cf this city and county. It is not the banks money. It Is placed there for the convenience of the depositors and is accepted by the banks for their own benefit and profit. It Is a mutual transaction and all will agree that tt belongs to the taxpayers. The banks are the stewai-dof the funds and when they make you a loan tiiey loan you money over which they are stewards. No bank "accomodates you when they make you a loBn. If you are not a safe borrower, they refuse the loan which is quite proper, but If you nr a a rn a n frnjn wjiAm they CZpCCt tne principal returned with interest, you obtained, the loan. Banks do not accomodate borowers; they cannot afford it and do not do it. They have the use of their money fur sale and if you want tne Use of it and are deserving a loan, come along and you will bo welcome. TAXPAYERS GENTLEMENS AGREEMENT banks should have paid $21,35.51 and should pay a similar amount this year making a total of $42,611, No one would deny the tact that there has existed in the State a Gentlemen's Agreement of which V, rtLu a giui di agteemeul, one taxpayer with the other, and all ot us presumed it was a legal This agreement and agreement. has carried ever understanding since the Pioneers reached these mountain valleys in 1847. Every man thought that every other man and business concern would always he willing to meet their share of the governmental expense. That s agreement states that the banks of ing units for last year this and a like amount fur this year and that this amount due does not belong to the bank It is the taxpayer ahare of the earnings of the checking deposits that the taxpayer have left with the banks for and for the banka 1 g use. I wonder If I can make myself clear when I say that the above amount is tne taxpayers share ot the earnings of his money left in the bank toward the upkeep of the city and county bridges and roads, city and county schools, Logans requirements for street improvement, street lighting, waer department, offering the city, fire protection in iw hlch the banks with all other taxpayers participate and that neither they nor we can get along without. If now any of the banks do not meet their share, it must, of ceuree, be met by the remaining taxpayers if not met by them the value of that much money in work ui wimi uui in imt undone and If left undone it is just that much less improvement accomplished. The schools and the city must get along with that much less which is an equal loss to the remaining taxpay- 5 Accordingly, as I gee it, this 51 plus an equal amount for this year does not belong to the hanks. It Is not their money. It Is the taxpayers part as above stated due from the banks for money deposited with them and It should be placed where It belongs for therein comes the Gentlemens Agreement wherein the banks have agreed wl.h he oti,r tttApajeis to carry their own burden and not unload the major part upon the shoulders of their depositors, for In so doing, the game would not be played fairly. THE POOR AND WOODROW WILSON If the bankers would vacate their swivel chairs long enough to comply witli the late president Woqd- $21,-30- -- row Wilson's advice at the time of the war when he said, "If you will put your ear cloBe to the ground you will hear the voice of the people and the voice of the people Jf1 the voice of God, they would know that 99 per cent of the depositors are not agreeing with them in the stand they are taking. $30,307 GOES TO THE POOR Ou,r County Commissioners dis- tribute $30,307 annually to the dependent widows and poor of our city and valley. On account of my position with the Red Cross, I have become somewhat acquainted with the poverty exisiting in this community. if they would spend oniy one day visiting some of the pover-t-stricke- n families In Lvgan where widows are called upon to meet their annual taxes because one of tbe fsmil is working and all others are without work, where they hardly have enough to supply one good meal a day, I really believe that the Institutions among us that are able to meet their share of the governmental expense, would hesitate in putting forth an effort to escape. Many people who are really too proud to ask the Church for aid, who hesitate going to the County Commislsoners, have come to the Red Cross, feeling just a little more at home in relating their cirAs I listen to their cumstances. pleadings and learn of the great number that is suffering from the actual daily necessities, I wond-"how it is that these people are wiu- Ing to sacrifice proper food aud clothing in order to meet the taxes on thotr little home. Here is ' zping tnat we will take a different viewpoint of these ma ters and remember that we an brothers keeper and that it Is mt expected uf us to oniy iive and let live, but to live and help live, and this can only be done by every man concerning himself more or les about the other mans welfare as well as liis own. - (Advertisement . , |
