AMERICUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 26, 1915
CAN AMERICA DEVELOP A DYE INDUSTRY?
The German dye industry represents an investment of $400,000,0b0,
giving employment to about 50,000 people and producing 800 shades and
combinations, according to an article by Mr. Frederick H. Wagner, an
engineer, who has visited Germany many times in order to make a close
personal study of all the chemical ’ndustries of that country, in this
week’s issue of the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore. According to Mr.
Wagner, the German dye industry has been exceedingly profitable, paying
dividends from 25 to 30 per cent., and laying aside from 30 to 40 per cent
on the capital invested for improvements and as a “war” fund. Out of
accumulated profits the German dye plants have written off the entire
cost of their works so that amortization and interest need no longer be
considered in their bookkeeping. As showing what will be necessary so-
America to do in competing with German dyestuq makers in the develop
ment of a dye industry in this country, it is said that one German plant
employing 10,000 people employ 800 young university men under a chief j
chemist in the research laboratory, paying them from $1 to $1.25 per day, |
their future advancement depending upon their own efforts. All German i
banks of consequence have associated with them highly-trained technical |
experts, whose sole business is to examine and report to the bank’s man- I
ager upon the merits of any invention or any manufacturer’s claim for I
credit. This financial cooperation, in connection with the Government aid, |
has brought about the development of the dye industry to its present dom- I
inating position in the trade, as well as the development of other German
industries. As to the possibility of America developing a dye industry.
Mr. Wagner says of the German industry with which we will have to com
pete:
“O''ganization is pre-eminently the correct title for this activity, be
cause the Germans organize a chemical trade campaign in the same man
ner as they organize for war, appointing various committees, who con
stantly seek new markets as well as raw material; who create a demand
for the finished product; who establish agencies all over the world; who
seek loopholes in foreign patents with the idea of making use of them if
possible; who have had the German patent laws so framed as to almost
exclude the foreigner, all cf this being done under the careful supervision
of their Government, assisted with the aid of State bounties, or subsidies,
duties, etc.”
Under these circumstances Mr. Wagner points out the co-operation
that must be given by bankers and by the Government if permanent suc
cess is to attend the efforts to develop dye-making in America.

" On The Business of Banking
\\ Tlje farmers of this nation to come into their own
\ must study business. We must, as a class, understand
<ls I the fundamental principles that underlie every industry,
I ,tS functlonß t 0 60clet y and Its relation to agriculture, sos
there can be no intelligent co-operation without under-
1 standing. Mr. F. A. Vanderlip, president of the National
City Bank of New York, when asked, “What is a bank?”
A ../ said in part:
“The first and most familiar function of a bank is
that of S atherin ß U P the idle money of a community,
'■ '■ JebL V small sums and large, and thus forming a pool or reser-
»■ vo - r upon w ijjch responsible persons may draw as they
have temporary use for money. It is evident that this makes large sums in the
aggregate available for the employment of labor and the development of the
community. But much more is accomplished than the use of the money
actually deposited in the banks, for by the use of drafts, checks and bank
notes the efficiency of money is multiplied several times over. A very large
business, for example one of the great beef packers, may use very little
actual money; on one side of its bank account will be entered the checks
and drafts it is daily receiving from everywhere in payment for meats,
W’hile on the other side will be entered the checks it draws in payment for
cattle, etc., its only use of money being for small payments, to labor and
otherwise.
If there were but one bank in a community and everybody paid all
bills by drawing checks on that bank, and everyone receiving a check imme
diately deposited it in the bank, the amount of money in the bank evidently
would not change at all and the entire business of the community would be
settled on the books of the bank. And the situation is but slightly changed
when there are several banks, for they daily exchange among themselves all
the checks they receive on each other, which practically offset themselves,
although the small balances are paid In cash. This is called ’clearing’ and
In every large city there Is a ’Clearing House’ where representatives of the
banks meet daily to settle their accounts with each other.
A bank is constantly receiving from its customers, particularly those that
are shipping products to other localities, drafts and checks drawn on banks
in other cities, which it usually sends for deposit to a few correspondent
banks in the central cities with which it maintains permanent accounts. In
this way these scattered credits are consolidated and the bank draws upon
these accounts in supplying customers with the means of making payments
away from home. As each local community sells and buys about the same
amount abroad in the course of a year, these payments largely offset each
other. It Is evident that the banks are very intimately related to the trade
and industry of a country. The banker is a dealer in credit much more than
a dealer in money, and of course his own credit must be above question. He
exchanges his credit for the credits acquired by the customers, and lends
credit for their accommodation, but he must conduct the business with such
judgment that he can always meet his own obligations with cash on demand.
This is the essential thing about bank credit, that it shall always be the
same as cash.”

LONDON, July 26. —Sir Frederics
Treves was to have presided at a
meeting held at the Mansion House on
July sth to Inauguerate a national
campaign against flies, but was pre
vented from doing so. And it was flies
that were responsible for his absence,
if his own suspicions are correct, as ha
explained in this letter which was
read at the meeting.
“I am sorry I cannot attend the
meeting. More than a month ago—
just before I left for Mudros —I ac
quired—through flies I expect—a com
plaint in Alexandria which has got
gradually worse; until now I am laid
up in be dand unable to do anything.
Had I been able to attend the meeting

the subject.
“In South Africa, during the war,
there w r ere more casualities due to
flies than to bullets. In France the
presence of so many unburied dead
makes the fly question a very serious
one. In Alexandria, owing to the vast
number of cavalry horse lines near the
town the trouble of flies is becoming
really distressing. It only wants a
definite source of infection to be in
troduced for an epidemic to run ram
pant.
“A fly should he looked upon as
nothing but a spreader of disease.
When once people realize what the flv
can do and does do, the remedy is
easy. Here is a work within the com
pass of the humblest, a really great
work. Fly-borne disease should cease
to exist. Its very existence is a dis
credit to the intelligence of the peo
ple.”

PIONEER DBY
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 26.
Members of the Mormon church
throuhgout Utah, Idaho, Oregon and
other states today held their annual
celebration of Pioneer Day, the anni
versary of the arrival of Brigham
Young and his little colony in Salt
Lake valley in 1847. On the day fol
lowing the arrival of the pilgrims on
the hill overlooking the site of the fu
ture city, Brigham Young drove into
the valley and striking his staff into
the ground, announced that upon that
site a temple would be built. The tem
ple was begun in 1853 and it was 49
years before it was completed.
The celebration of Pioneer Day in
this city this year was the most elab
orate in many years. The observance
was combined with the festivities of
the closing day of the Wizard of the
Wasatch carnival. The leading fea
ture was a great daylight pageant il
lustrating events in the history and
development of Utah from the estab
lishment of the first colony to the
preent day.
