generally after the passage of the law by
state legislatures
The remaining report on the program was
that of the committee on formation of a
bureau of education submitted by Chair
man William Cornwell He said If tho
bankers Of the United States would establish
a bureau and employ speakers to present
tho claims of the banks properly before the
public, men who could in plain speech show
the farmer and others that If the banks
charge high for accommodation, it is the
fault of legislation and not of the banks
themselves. much of the present hostility
which exists against banks would be re-
moved. Letters favoring the idea of such
bureau Of education were read from
Comptroller Eckels and others.
The committee will be ready in a short
time with the first pamphlet to be issued
and the matter Of a bureau of speakers
can then be taken up and tried. in a small
way at first, and If successful will be grad
ually developed.
After the announcement of meetings OF
