It has been known that a bank would have a customer Comfort with a deposit of fair proportions, a loan with good collateral and yet have his loan called and the customer put to some sacrifice to meet the call. Here is where the u ao» b banks cause failure and stringency, and no commodity is so timid and suspicious as credit or confidence. We appreciate that moral and business character should __ govern the business of a bank in making loans and not ., alone collateral and present business stability, for reckless- _ ness or loose living can break the strongest financial bark. Our argument is not with this class of business. It is quite plain to many who have studied the situation that banking tb Fon George is largely in the interests of the big financial concerns, the so-called trusts, while the deposits of the smaller business man is taken to provide a fund for the operations of the cliques and pools who control the personal and interlocking dispensers of life's necessities to the common people. As one of our leading citizens of British Columbia recently wrote, it looked as if the Money powers told the Govern- r ment what to do instead of the Government telling the money powers what they could do. And all of this, with much more than the space of a single article cannot cover, adds to the burdens of life, higher costs and greater strain and wear and tear on the human race. It is one of the causes of the high cost of living, the misery and toil of life of the millions to pay tribute'.to the favored thousands. In these days of storm and fright, values are just as good as they were two, three or more years ago, collateral just as valuable, men's characters just as good, then why this pressing down of the market, this scaling down of loans ? These values will re-appear and some day we will all be wondering what it was all about. The real reason is that the general people do not study and seek to understand economical conditions so that they can elect to office men who will see to it that their welfare is scientifically cared for. So that laws can be passed that will protect the rich and poor alike, and that will make for the welfare of all the people. The French Revolution was fought because the Rulers of the people became so arrogant _•;:,.-. who wish to join the Fort \\ that life was not worth living in the tribute they exacted »rge contingent are asked to meet j from the millions.
