OUR BANK CAPITAL IS VERY SMALL | That Is When Compared With ' the Bank Capital In Other>' States. As New York. Penni sylvanii and New Jersey. I t'nivorsity Sows Ix.'ttor. The state of New York hasi nearly twice as much bank capital and surplus as all the' Southern States combined. Pennsylvania has almost asj much bank capital and surplus as the entire South. New Jersey has nearly three, times as much bank capital as j North Carolina. I Rhode Island, no larger than J one county in this state, has two- j thirds as much bank capital and! surplus as North Carolina. We have nearly twice as many | people hs Connecticut, and rankj ahead of her it> the total value of j farm and factory product*, but > she has nearly 50 per cent more j capital and surplus. We far outrank Virginia in; agriculture, manufacture, and; population, but she h«s sixty; per cent more bank capital and; surplus Is there any legitimate reason why Maine should have 3"> dollars of bank capital and surpius per inhabitant while North Carolina, with all her agriculture and in-; dustry, has accumulated oiily '2l ; dollars? I The answer lies largely in the difference between wealth pro duction on a total basis, and ■wealth production and acoumula tion on a per inhabitant basis. Llut aside from that, the habit of thrift is 3 big factor. I'ntil we become more thrifty we wiil con tinue to pa> tribute to the people in other states who buy our bonds, who supply us with the money with which to build our I i roads, our schools, to make our town improvements, and even to carry on much of our trade. i DURANT and STAR CARS I BOWLES & CREAKMAN, I Agents and Distributors at Walnut Cove, N.

You Should Get A Pleasant Re action By Regarding the In come Tax Figures Of North Carolina. University News Letter. North Carolina in the past year has paid into the Federal Trea sury $125,000,000. Those who view the state debt with alarm should get a pleasant reaction by regarding the latter figure, too. A state that is taxed by the Federal Uovern ment for a great deal more in a year than the total of its debt is not approaching bankruptcy. Gilliam (Jrissom, the collector of internal revenue, announces the figures paid into the Federal Treasury for the year, and calls attention to the fact that they are larger than those in California, the seventh state in the Union last year in amount of Federal tax paid, when this state stood eighth. This huge sum that North; Carolina has furnished the cen tral Government was a levy on North Carolina production. It i was paid out of the earnings of factories in this state, operated l>y capital, labor and materials that largely originated within 5 the state. These resources are not ephemeral and thev are assets of North Carolina that guarantee I that the state was not pursuing an unsound policy in investing in the further development of its territory.—The High Point En terprise Hoy E.
