OUR BANK RESOURCES.
Cabarrus County ranks 19th in the
State in bank resources and bank re
sources per capita. The total re
sources of the county, according to
- .statistics carried in the University
News Letter, is $<‘>,291,000 with a
per capita average of $172.50.
Cabarrus ranks ahead of praeti-
V<ta Hy all of th(* counties in this sec-1
tion of the State. Mecklenburg leads
the State but the Cabarrus total and
per capita average is ahead of Rowan
with $3,229,000 and $60.57; Union
with s2.t»S7.’<)oo and $72.58; Stanly
with $1,602,000 and $53.17; Iredell
with $5,027,000 and $128.10 and
Montgomery with $1,447,000 and SOO.
The data contained in the News
Letter shows that “Mecklenburg
county now ranks first In the state
in both total bank resourees. $50.-
700.000 and in the bank resources per
inhabitant, $500.30. New Hanover
ranks second in 6ank resources per
inhabitant, while Forsyth ranks along
side Mecklenburg both in total and
in per inhabitant bank resources.
I>nrhara is the only other county that
reaches above the five hundred dollar
mark in resources per inhabitant.
“No banks or any sort ave report
ed for four counties: Camden, Gya-I
ham, Pamlico, and Tyrrell. A hank
lias recently been established in Gra
ham county. There are twenty addi
tional counties whose bank resources
fall below fifty dollars per inhabitant.
There are fift.v-six counties whose
bank resources fall below one hun
dred dollars per inhabitant. For the
most part these are the remote rural
counties of the Tidewater and Moun
tain areas and a few rural Piedmont
and Coastal Plains counties. Howev
er, a few very important agricultural
counties are found in the group, nota
bly Robeson, Johnson, Nash, Harnett.
Rowan, Sampson and Greene.
“The counties that lead are of two
classes mainly: (1) The urban indus
trial counties, such as Mecklenburg,
Forsyth, Durham. Guilford, etc., aud
(2) the great cash-crop counties of
the Coastal Plains. A third group i
consists of a few counties like New
Hanover. Pasquotank, Craven. Moore,
and others which are centers of trade
and banking for the surrounding rurnl
counties.
“During the last decade or so North
Carolina has made large gains ns a
banking state, mainly due to our in- !
dtistrial expansion. In 1914 our
bank resources amounted to $153.-
114.436. or only $64,90 per inhabi
tant. We ape increasing our bank
lesburces considerably more rapidly
thou the nation as, ar whole. The
large increase in bank resources is
the .result of North Carolina's enor
mously increased productive powers,
aud evidence that the state is finally
beginning to accumulate wealth. It
it) gvidence that we are rapidly ebang-
\ ing from a self-sufficing rural econ
\ omy, to commercail, industrial urban
economy. A state whose annual farm
and factory output trebles in ten
years from a half billion dollars in
1 1914 to a billion and a half last year.
I demands larger banking resourees.
, 1 ‘‘Rapid as has been our progress in
| j the accumulation of bank capital and
resources, North Carolina still ranks
very low among the states. In fact
our meager bank resources in con
trast with our population, and -value
of farm and factory products, is a
fact hard to explaiu. We rank four
teenth in population, with two and
a half per cent, of the nation’s total,
and we rank fifteenth in the value of
farm and factory products, but we
possess less than eight-tenths of one j
per cent, of the nation's bank re
sources. Almost twice as many states
rank ahead of us in aggregate bank re
sources as rank ahead of 11s in the
annual value of primary and second
ary wealth created.
“The bank resources of the United
States are in excess of 62 billion dol
lars. or SSSS per inhabitant. The
bank resources of North Carolina are
eight-tenths of one per cent, of the 1
nation’s total, and $181.75 per in- <
habitant. The average bank resourc- 1
es per inhabitant for the United 11
States are two and a half times the 1 j
average for North Carolina. Only j ,
three counties in North Carolina I.lllk j ,
ahead of the United States iu average * ■
bank resources. Only one state in 1
the South produces more wealth than *
, North Carolina, yet seven southern! !
• states rank ahead of ours in bank re
' sources.”

HOW SHALL WE CONTROL RA
DIO?
“And entirely independent body” 1
, to take charge of the regulation of ra-
> dio communication in all its forms. < {
• is the substance of a recommendation j ]
of the Senate Committee on inter-! ,
state commerce. presented to the .
United States Senate Saturday by ;
Senator Dill. 111 making the report
on a House measure, the view is ex
pressed that legislation to provide j
control of radio transnr’ssion is “ini
perntivp at the earliest possible date.” j e
The proposal of some independent * t
board or commission to regulate radio j f
broadcasting is not new. It seems to I -
be the only other alternative to that j J;
of vesting this power in some official i ;
of the government. At present Set*-! *
retary Hoover is virtually America’s | N
rad : o czar. While there have been no I -
particular complaints of his judg- j r
ment and actions in this connection a ;i
recent federal court decision appears ! v
to'make his supposed powers doubt-[ t
ful from a eonsttutional standpoint. ; c
and it is recognized also that some 1
permanent arrangement is necessary, j’
President Cool id ge is opposed to the
creation of any new boards or com- .
missions. He realizes that every
new department increases the ex
penses Os the government. It seems j
to us, however, that there is merit in I |
the contention that “the exercise of j
this power is fraught with such!
great possibilities that, it should not
be entrusted to any one man nor to
any administrative department of the
government. This regulators power)
should be as free from jiolitioal infill-1
ence or arbitrary control as possible.”
There must be control of the radio. !
If the people are turned loose to .do
as they please everyone will suffer. It j
does seem that there are enough agen- )
cies of the government in operation i
now to handie the matter without
adding a great <-o*t to the govern
ment.

= A
thing, either directly or indftfctly
from Mrs. Ufford. Mrs. Harris wrote
a New Jersey friend making inquiry
about her. That friend % in return
wrote itie matron of the Merrion
1 home v where Miss Ufford spent the
j last ten years of her life, and re
ceived in answer a message statfiig
that she died on November 2lsti last.
Miss Ufford was well this
i county, especially by the middle aged
and older residents. She founded
Stanly Hall school at Locust where
taught for two or three years.
! Then she came to Albemarle where
she opened up a school in an old
abandoned building which stood on
East Main just across from the old
L. A. Moody home. She later pur
chased Pile present site of the Albe-
I ninrlc Normal and founded that
j school, where she poured the beist of
her life into the lives of the young
women w%o came under her care.
She did a great work for this section
of the state and was known in every
section of the county as one of the
most lovable personages who ever
lived in this community. She left
here more than ten years ago, leav
ing the school in the hands of young
er management.
