Being Governor As Costly As Being A Tenant Farmer (By Carl Goerch.) Tire legislature has been having a rather interesting week. Most ol its time is being taken up in discussing money matters. In that respect, senators and representatives are like the average married couple; there Is little chance of Teaching an agreement but there is always a mighty fine chance of starting an argument. i interviewed ariout nity repres entatives and about twenty senators this week. Every last one of them said he was :ln favor reducing taxes on real estate. That's what you might call perfect agreement. It was when I began making inquiries about their plan for bringing about a reduction in taxes that I begun to find evidences of almost perfect disagreement. The result will be that they'll spend so much time ar guing that they won't have any time to actually reduce taxes. Tiie state budget for 1931-33 was issued this week. It shows approp riations of $100,000 for this $200,000 for that, and $300,000 for something else. What’s worrying me is where all this money is coming from. Mak ing out a budget is one thing; Col lecting the money is something en tirely different. My wife makes out a budget which Includes about five new dresses every year, but she does not get ’em There’s going to be a big hole in the stnte’s revenue this year. There are 40,000 fewer automobiles on mu roads than there were this time last year. That makes cjpse to a million dollars loss in revenue through the sale of license plater, and gasoline 'tax. There are more folks who will I be unable to pay their taxes than ;ever before, which means still great er loss in revenue. And when we see the pitiful returns that we’re going to get out of our income tax returns —well, unless we begin to take steps right now to bring about a rigid rule of economy, it looks to me like things will Just about go bust in six months or so. A number of counties are already defaulting in their bond Interest payments, and a lot of ! others are right on the ragged edge. I visited the state prison Monday | and had George Ross Pou take me jover the institution. Few people real ly know what is going on out there. One of these days I want to write it up. Their biennial report has Just been issued. It's a mighty interesting document. You ought to get hold of a copy and read it. I was looking over one of them a couple of days ago. Out of 1,015 prisoners, who were church members. 618 said they had been affiliated with the Baptist church before they went to prison. Think of that! I'm a Baptist my self, so I don't mind writing about my own crowd. Over 60 per cent of all our church member prisoners are Baptists. Tire state prison is one Of our big problems. I’ll bet that 90 percent of the members of the leg islature are Baptists. They're bound to be, because the legislature is a much bigger problem to our people than the state prison. Talking about the prison; pouring money Into that old rat-trap for maintenance is like pouring water into a sieve. The old pile of bricks is just about ready to crumble and fall to pieces. College professors claim that an injustice is being done them in the ! proposal to reduce salaries ten per ] Cent, The merchant, the tnanufao jturer, the clerk, the laboring man [and the farmer have all had to take their cut in revenue and I don't see : why the intellectuals should be ab solved from their obligation. Just because a man knows how to trans late a Latin sentence or how to pro nounce hors d’oeuvres is no reason why he shouldn't get down on a level with us common folks when it comes to taking a cut in wages. Es pecially when were the ones who ;nre paying him. Senator Powell, of Columbus ; county, has introduced a crazy bllL He wants to discharge all married ■women who are holding state or county Jobs and whose husbands are (receiving salaries of more than $100 ja month. If that bill should be ■ adopted, it will mean that a whole i gang of married men will have to | go back to work again. Governor Gardner says it cost ihim $9,600 more to live in the man j sion than he received in salary from the state as governor. It would seem that being governor of North Caro lina is almost as expensive a proper sition as beliig a tenant-farmer in North Carolina. Everybody is howling about money. We’re blaming every possi ble agency for the predicament in which we are now finding ourselves As a matter of fact, if we hadn't all been so everlastingly extravagant during the last ten years, all of us would have had plenty of money with which to meet the present emergency. And we wouldn't be howling about taxes either, because we'd be able to pay our taxes. There’s one thing |’ve noticed during the last oouple of weeks in rambling over the state. The legis lature may be unable to decide our weighty problems for us, but the crowds that hang around hotel lob bies and drug stores don’t seem to find any trouble in doing it.

Degree Of1 Concentration Of Banking lie* sources. Chase National Leads. New York.—Deposits of the 100 largest banks in the United States increased more than $300,000,000 in 1930 despite industrial depression to a total of $23,158,278,318 as of Dec ember 31, a compilation published by "American Banker” shows. Since 1924 deposits of these banks have gained almost 90 per cent, or more than $7 000.000,000, indicating to some extern the degree or con centration of banking resources which has occurred. Total capital stock of the 100 banks Is $1,360,444,566, compared with $705,149,990 six years ago, and total surplus and undivided profits accounts December 31 were $2,2f>6, 396,034 compared with $1,069,997, 662 six years ago. The publication points out that capital has increas ed 84 per cent In the six-year per iod, while surplus and undivided profits have increased more than 100 per cent, or proportionately fast er than deposits, contributing strength to the American banking situation. For the first time, the Chase Na tional bank of New York heads the [table of 100 banks, with its deposits | or $2,073,775,923 constituting the largest total in the world and out ranking, according to latest state ! ments, the greatest British banks. [The names of Equitable Trust Com pany and Interstate Trust Company merged by Chase, have dropped from the list. A year ago Chase was ; in third place. Mergers continued to reduce the number of New York banks among the 100 largest, Wall Street having only 20 representatives on the list this year, as compared with 23 In 1929 and 30 In 1928.
