or set of men might be in con-
troll, there would always be danger
that the control might pass into
undesirable hands. To allow such a
bank to be organized like an ordinary
bank, with transferable shares and a
board of directors elected by its stock
holders, SO that a few rich men might
acquire control of the bank and its
management, would never be tolerated
On the other hand, to vest in the gov
ernment the power to appoint the man
ayers of the bank or to control its
operations might make the policy of
the bank depend upon the result of
popular elections and might constitute
the control of the bank political prize
to be disposed of by the party in power.
THE only object of central bank
is to secure the safety and stability
of financial conditions throughout the
country. In my opinion central bank
would not attain that end in the United
States because it would not be in har-
mony with our institutions, our bust
ness habits and our political methods.
Those who would establish central
bank in the United States would incur
a great responsibility. If, after such a
bank were established, it should be-
come the cause of sectional disturb
ances and dissensions and II its man
ence should become political issue,
the central bank, instead of increasing
the stability and safety of financial
conditions, would render conditions far
more unstable and perilous than today.
And if in the end the bank should fail
to accomplish its purpose and should
be dissolved like the second bank of
the United States probably it would
pull down with it the political party
that was responsible for its existence.
No one can foresee what financial here
sizes might then prevail; but surely the
cause of true reform of our banking
and currency system would be post
poned for generation.
Il believe that the necessary central
regulation and control or the expansion
of bank credits in relation to reserves
and the necessary protection of finan-
cial conditions can be attained in the
United States without the creating of
central bank I believe that it can
be attained without concentration of
banking resources, without creating a
monopoly of the right to issue bank
notes and without attempting to revo-
lutionSze our present banking and busi-
ness methods, which in the main have
served the country we'll l should pro-
vide the necessary central regulation
and control by establishing a central
board elected by the banks, having
power, with the approval of the secre-
tary of the treasury, from time to time
to increase or diminish, according
to the needs of changing condition, the
volume of outstanding notes issued by
the banks in excess of the redemption
funds to be provided and kept up by
them for the redemption of these
notes."
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-20

lowing arguments: "There are able
bankers who think that we should
copy the foreign system, and that we
should establish in the United States
central bank. with power to ex-
ercise the necessary control and regu-
lation of the expansion of bank credits
in the aggregate. Senator AIdrich.
the chairman OF the national monetary
commission, appears to favor this cen
trail bank plan, and Horace White
spoke in its favor at The meeting of
the Finance forum last week. There
can be no doubt that the central banks
OF the various countries of Europe eff
fectively and satisfactorily regulate
and control banking conditions in
these countries, and if conditions in
the United States were not materially
different from those existing in Eu-
ropean countries, the arguments in
favor of the establishment of such a
bank in the United States would seem
to be conclusive. However, conditions
in the United States are so different
from those existing In European coun-
tries that the central banks of Europe
can not fairly be considered prece-
dents for the CT eaton of a similar
bank in the United States.
Before creating a central bank two
vital questions would have to be de-
termined. One is, how would the vast
resources of the bank be used? Would
the bank have discretionary power to
discriminate among borrowers in MAX
ing loans and in discounting paper of
equal quality, or would it have to trea
ali alike? Would the managers of the
bank have discretionary power, by
loans or by the rediscount of paper, to
help particular banks, or the banks in
particular locations, or would it have
to treat all banks and all localities
upon precisely equal terms. without
discrimination or partiality2 If the
managers of the bank could discrim-
mate, charges of favoritism and sec
tional differences and dissensions
surely would result in a country like
ours. If the central bank should be
restricted to dealing with other banks
and should be required to rediscount
paper for all banks on exactly similar
terms and conditions, banks engaged
in speculative business or located in
sections of the country where specu-
lation is running high would draw
most heavily upon the resources of
the central bank, because they could
afford to pay the highest interest for
discount rates. The banking re-

was to the effect that it was within
the power of the patrons of the Unit

corporation to a realizing sense of its
obligations to the public by refusing
to patronize its cars until better serv-
ice is provided. Many of the patrons
of this company live within walking
distance of their place of business,
and nickel here and a nickel there

lack of regard for the comfort of it's

Famous Old Steamer

You can say what you please about
the old Great Eastern said an Ameri-
can who has crossed the ocean twice
or more every year for almost half a
century but she was a grand idea.
The trouble was that the idea was
almost so years ahead Of its time. 1t
has taken the world all that time to
grow up to a Great Eastern, as exem-
plified by the Lusitania and the Maure-
tania.
Il made my first voyage to Europe in
the Great Eastern. That was in 1862.
1t was the first time the vessel sailed
into Liverpool. She had accommoda-
tions for 10000 passengers, but there
were only 100 in her on that trip.
You know she had both propeller
and paddle wheels. AS long as she kept
going it was an right, for she moved
along steadily and majesticaIIy; but
one day we were hailed by a small
French steamer that had mail to send
to Europe and we stopped short in
midocean while boat put out from
the other vessel.
We'll, how it happened L don't know,
but the huge mountain OF a vessel
seemed to lose her balance. She wab-
bled about there in a dreadful fashion.
Passengers and stewards were hurled
about in every direction, and as for
crockery, 1 don't believe a whole plate
or cup and saucer was saved from the
wreckage.
"On the vessel was every sort of
general cargo, including live stock. and
as for provisions, why, we had better
food and fresher than you can get on
liner today. We had absolutely fresh
meat, fresh milk and freshly killed
chickens.
Even in speed the Great Eastern was
in advance of her time. for it took us
only eight days to get to Liverpool."--
