1t is claimed by the friends OF
the plan that school boards as al
present constituted are unpaid, un.
trained in educational matters
and too thoroughly absorbed in
their own business affairs to pay
sufficient attention to their board
duties.
1t Is also asserted that the
school superintendent frequently
obtains his position more by rea.
son of political pull than through
ability as an instructor. There
are a multitude Of technical de.

claimed for the new plan Is tina
1t would enable the teachers Il

RE.FORESTAT|ON IN
OREGON

James J. Hill offers $1,000 in prizes
for wheat exhibits grown without ir-
rigation throughout the dry farming
districts of Oregon, Montana and
Washington at the National Dry
Farming Congress, that will be held
at Billings, Mont, October 1928.
Farmers and commercial clubs are
being advised of the offer so they
may take advantage of it. There will
also be exhibits made of fruits raised
without irrigation and other grains.
A ton of Douglas fir seeds, capable
of sprouting 100000 big fir trees,
will be planted within the coming few
weeks by the national forest service
In Oregon forest reserves. Fully
One-third of the seed will be sown in
the Bull Run reserve where reforest-
alton is undertaken experimentally
to see what effect 1t will have in in
creasing the flow of Bull Run river,
the source OF Portland's water sup
ply. 1t is estimated that the present
flow of the stream is sufficient to sup
ply the city for the next SO years, but
1t is believed the volume of water
can be doubled, providing for all fu-
ture demands the city may make upon
the river Other forest reserves will
be experimental upon in covering
bare slopes with the baby trees. For
est service officials have been handi-
capped in the past in securing the
seed in sufficient quantities although
from $3.50 to $3.50 per pound is paid
for Douglas fir seed.

CENTRAL BANK Is
PLANNED
MONETARY COMMISSION HAS
EVOLVED ITS THEORY OF A
MORE STABLE FINANCIAL SYS-
TEN.

Washington, Oct. although the
plans have not yet been worked out
in all OF their details 1t is possible to-
day to give a general outline of the
proposed Central Bank of the United
States, the establishment Of which
will be recommended to congress by
the monetary commission. According
to information, the institution will
not receive the public's deposits or
do a general banking business.
It's main function will be to act as
fiscal agent for the government and
through its large note-issuing capac-
ity, limited beyond certain point Of
taxation-come to the aid of other
national banks in times Of emergency.
The organized capital of the insti-
tuition will be 100000 and the
stock will be apportioned among the
national banks, and perhaps state
banks on a capital basis, with pro-
vision prohibiting any bank from ac-
curing notes exceeding its quota.
The stockholders will elect a
board of directors by territorial dis
tricts. In addition to this governing
board, there will be another board
of government directors, comprising
leading treasury officials, these to be
designated by the president, secre-
tary of the treasury and the comp
troller Of the currency.
If they prove competent, the &C
tive bank officers who are to be Sc
lected jointly by the boards, will
serve for life. The advocates of the
institution claim that this will elm
mate all politics. The policy of the
bank is to be left to the board of
directors. The present plan is for
the central bank to handle all gov
eminent receipts and disbursements;
its branches replacing the subtreas-
uries. 1t will issue its own notes
which will be secured by large re-
serve of gold and gilt-edge CONNER
cial paper or credit representing the
actual transaction of business be-
tween solvent concerns.
No loans made or discounts will
be accepted on bonds, stocks, realty
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-10-07

mortgages or any speculative securi-
ty. It is said that 1t will not be the
purpose Of the bank to make large
profits but rather provide a reserve
of credit strength and support to ma
tional banks and any profits that may
be made will be divided between the
stockholders and the national treas
uary.
Although President Taft and the
chairman of the banking and financial
committees of the senate and the
financial committees of the senate and
the house are friendly to the scheme
the public is admittedly skeptical. The
public fears that it will concentrate
money power and give Wall street
control of the nations currency Ad-
vocates of the institution claim that
it will give the banking system of
the country an organization and CO.
hesion which it always lacked. In
stead of entering into competition
with banks, it is said that it would
be resource for each institution.
The advocates also claim that be-
cause it would manage the operations
Of the treasury and government re-
ceipts and disbursements, it would
not be distributing factor. Much
opposition to the central bank has
arisen, 1t is stated, from the disaster
that fell to the old bank Of the Unit
ed States which was conceived by
Hamilton and killed by President
Jackson.
The advocates point out that the
organization of the institution will
be entirely different from that scheme
and that there is no chance of it
meeting with disaster
