Hurt In Dallas
Waxahachie Texas, Feb. 27.
Mrs. R. B. Griffin, 30G Virginia
Avenue, and little daughter, Emily
| Ann, about 6 years old, were in-
| jured, the former seriously when
| their automobile was struck by an-
other car in Dallas late Sunday
|afternoon. Failure of the driver
of the other machine to stop for
a boulevard was blamed for the
accident, it was learned here.
A slight fracture to the skull
.and a broken collar bone were
suffered by Mrs. Griffin. Emily
Ann sustained numerous bruises
and cuts but was not believed to
have been dangerous hurt.
| They were taken to Bayler hos-
| pital for treatment immediately
after the accident. Mr. Griffin was
notified and hastened to be with

BANKS AND CREDIT
THE CORSICANA SUN comes to the defense of bank-
ers in the following:
The charge made by the chairman of the Reconstruc
tion Finance corporation that banks are not doing their
part in helping the nation out of the depression needs to
be examined very carefully before being accepted as true.
The probability is that careful examination will con-
vince the thoughtful student that the charge has little
solid foundation.
Chairman Jones, in his New York speech found fault
with the credit policies of banks, he said, were leaning
backward too far in their efforts to make only sound
loans. A more liberal policy, he thought. could be adopted
without endangering their assets. He disclaimed any in-
tention to suggest that "loose credit policies" be adopted,
but was emphatic in accusing bankers of being too strict
now with respect to loans. By implication, at least, he in_
dicated that unless present policies were modified gov-
ernment banking might replace private banking.
• Nobody realizes the dangers in unsound loans more

Griffin stated that it was believed
Mrs. Griffin would improve suf-

perience.
They can not perform these duties and be true to
their trust if they make unsound loans. Most banks are
bulging with surplus funds. They are losing money as
long as these funds lie idle. They may place them in gov-
ernment securities but the returns are far under what
they would be if they were used in making private com-
mercial loans.
The truth of the situation is that industry is not ex-
panding yet to an extent where there is a great demand
for loans that can be regarded as sound. The law of sup-
ply and demand operates in the banking field no less than
in other realms of industry and commerce.

and the drawing in of the lines on direct government re-
lief, the job of employment and charity is coming back
to where it belongs, to the community itself.
We think the legislature is acting with wisdom in re-
stricting the relief bonds issued to the minimum, is dis-
couraging rather than encouraging aid from government
sources, while at the same time realizing that the trans
action. is not going to be easy and some relief funds will
have to be used.
As men are released from relief rolls, it becomes the
duty of the community to find as many odd jobs for them
as it is possible to find, and many of these small jobs
should be done. It is better to give work than to give char
ity
We shall have to return, too, to paying just what each
job is worth. Private employees should pay all they can
afford to pay and yet they will be unable to pay the
scale the government has been paying.
They will demand also that a full day’s work be done
for a full day’s pay.
Private industry must find ways of absorbing the re-
leased workers, and again it becomes the job of the re-
leased workers to connect themselves with private work
just as rapidly as possible. And holding the job means de
livering the goods in the way of work.
It becomes a different working together from that
we have been experiencing under government direction,
but it becomes a necessary working together nevertheless
It would help wonderfully to look about the place,
see what work needs to be done and connect with some
man needing the work and let him do it.—Hillsboro Mir-
