It appearing to the Ordinary of the
said County that the taxable values

eral, is $1,091,839.00, and it further

sessed Valuation of the Public Utili¬

ation of property on digest and Pub¬
lic Utilities assessments for 1934,
20% has been deducted therefrom in
compiling this levy for insolvent and
uncollectible taxes. Whereas, the av¬
erage approximately over a period 30% of years due discloses
a loss to un¬
collectible taxes; an average of 24%
loss was had for the year 1933 and it
is believed that this loss will be low¬
ered to 20% at the close of 1934. The
commissions of the Tax Collector,
Treasurer, and Tax Receiver are also
figured in this 20%. It further ap¬
peared to the Ordinary that the sum
of $40,364.52 will be required to pay
the necessary expenses and obliga¬
tions of the County, including the

cies of taxable property, both real

debtedness and necessary running ex¬
penses and obligations of the County of

five mills, or $5.00 on the $1,000.00,
be levied for the County-wide School

tal levy for all general County pur¬
poses and County-wide Schools, of
twenty-five and ninety-hundredths

cents per bushel. On this basis he was
producing without either profit or loss

ADJUSTING BANKING
TO CHANGING NEEDS
By ROBERT V. FLEMING
Vice President American Bankers
Association
BANKERS recognize that changing
conditions require new methods of
doing business. However it is their
responsibility to
retain those es¬
sential and sound
financial princi¬
ples upon which
this country was
founded and has
grown to be what
is still the richest
nation in the
world.
Many of our dif-
ijkC u 11 i e s have
fmsen from lack
of confidence and
k. v. PLUMING from misunder¬
standing. There¬
fore it behooves the banker to beud
every effort to create a bettor public
understanding of sound banking and
thereby bring about that united effort
and cooperative spirit which will has¬
ten the day of national recovery and
restore to the banker the confidence
of the public to which he is entitled.
As au approach to the realization of
this ideal, bankers should carefully
scrutinize every application for a loan
to see if it is bankable and, it it is
not in bankable form, then make fur¬
ther examination to see if the loan can
be made so, in order that the uses of
credit may be stimulated.
Explaining Loan Factors to Customers
We must not expect our customers to
be bankers and understand all the fac¬
tors which we must consider before
granting a loan. If we find that a loan
is not, and cannot be made, bankable,
then 1 thin we should take pains to
explain to the applicant the reasons
why it cannot be granted.
There are other measures which 1
think it important for the banker to
undertake in order to eliminate the
misunderstandings which have arisen
and overcome the sentiment which
exists. Under presign conditions we
have to operate finflef marly laws and
regulations, and a'O watch what fur¬
ther legislation is being proposed which
affects our methods of operation and
may not be in the best interest of the
communities we serve. Nowadays it
seems at times we must sit with a law
book iu one hand and a book of regula¬
tions in the other in order to make cer¬
tain we are discharging our daily duties
and functioning strictly in accordance
with the law. All of this is very try¬
ing, yet I think in the end we shall be¬
come better jankers.
I believe it is the duty of every
banker today to endeavor to under¬
stand the public he serves. In addition
to his daily duties, trying as they are,
he should participate in the activities
of his community, so that, with the
fund of information available to him,
he may be as helpful as possible in al!
public and civic matters.
COMPTROLLER COMMENDS
INSTITUTE OF BANKING
WASHINGTON. C.—The Ameri¬
can Institute of Banking, said to be
the most successful project of its kind
in the field of applied adult education ,
has performed a valuable function in
training bank clerks for “sound pub
lie service as well as personal success,”
J. F. T. O'Connor, Comptroller of the
Currency of t.hd> United States, said
here in a recent radio address. The
institute is a section of the American
Bankers Association.
“While imparting useful knowledge,
it has improved the morale of banking
personnel aud has stimulated in its
members an intelligent interest in na¬
tional and international monetary
problems," Mr. O'Connor said. “Its
courses cover a wide field in banking.
Among the subjects, one finds Bank
Organization and Operation, Cotnmer
cial Lav, Negotiable Instruments Law,
the Pre-Standard '
and Economics, in
Division; followed by such subjects as
Money and Banking, Credit Manage¬
ment, Financial Statement Analysis
and Bank Management, in the Standard
Division.
“Each and every subject is one which
is necessary to a knowledge of banking.
However, the institute doe3 not stop
here, but encourages graduate study
in Corporation Finance, Trust Service,
Farm Credit Administration and Busi¬
ness Forecasting. Again it emphasizes
in special courses the importance of
the less technical but highly beneficial
study of Constructive Customer Rela¬
tions, Banking Fundamentals and Pub
lie Speaking. No comment is necessary
on these courses: their valm is at
once apparent."

The following has appeared in

■-o much to the point that we ar®
giving it a “second”.
Getting out this magazine
is no pienie.
If we print jokes, people say
we are too serious.
If we clip things from other
magazines, we are too lazv to
write them ourselves.
If we dont we are stuck o n
our own si uff.
If wc stick close to the job
all day, we ought to be out
him i ing news.
If we do gel out and try to
hustle, we ought to be on th«
job in t he office.
If we don’t print contribu¬
tions, we don’t appreciate truP
genius; and if we print them,
the magazine is filled with
junk.
It we make a change in the
other fellow’s write-up, we are
too critical.
If we don’t we are asleep.
Now, like as not, some guy
will say we swiped this from
some other magazine.
