BEECH NOTES
BY “AHN-KUTTY”
In the evolution or the banking
business, growing from small finan
ial concerns to ponderous, interest
eating machines, the American peo
ple have a grind stone chained to
their necks that takes on weight
and drags heavier with each pass
ing day. Glancing over a financial
sheet of recent print from Wash
ington, D. C., we find the following:
“July 30, 1926, money in circula
tion $4,843,710,681. Bank depos
its, of same date, $51,982,932,000.”
In the banks’ vaults there were but
$951,286,000. of deposits retained,
or but one dollar with which to pay
$54,62 if demanded. Deducting con
tents of the banks’ vaults, $951,286,
000., from total deposits, --$51,982,
932,000., on which the banks are
drawing interest, we find that for
every dollar there is in circulation
the banks are pulling down interest
on $10.53. And this on their de
positors’ money only. The capital
and surplus of the date as well as 1
rational reserve issues, bear inter- j
esl, also. Why, the shell game, I
three-card-monte and the crooked ;
wheel of fortune are pikers when
lined up in comparison with up-to
date banking. When you deposit
money in a bank you get an ink no
tation of the amount deposited. Al
so, you take the risk. The bank
takes the interest. The nation, un
der a banner of freedom, looks on
jou smiling while an oligarchy of
wealth rivets to your wrists the
shackles of monetary slavery.
Hunting and fishing licenses for
the year 1925 taken out by sport
men in the U. S.—including Alaska
—number more then 5,000,000, and
the leturns on same run to nearly
f. v2 millions of dollars. The state
of Pennsylvania leads with 504,130
licenses and fees of about $614000.
