Day Devoted to Pleasure.

The National Association of Supervisors
of State Banks, in convention since Mon
day hoped to complete its work today
with the election Of officers and the dis
posal of a number of routine reports. The
fact that the thermometer has more than
once shown weather hotter than ninety
degrees since the financial men arrived In
Detroit did not deter bankers in search
of pleasure today from preparing to play
golf or watch base ball. The golf pro-
gram consisted of four different four-ball
foursomes at the Detroit Country Club
this afternoon. For those preferring base
ball. a section had been reserved at Navin
Field where the Detroit and Philadelphia
American League teams were to meet in
the second game Of the series.
Some bankers were found among the
three thousand or more now In Detroit
who cared for neither golf or base BALL
A trolley ride to Mount Clemens by way

Banker Replies to Critics.

reply to the critics of banks and
bankers was made today by George NJ.
Reynolds, president Of the Continental
and Commercial National Bank Of Chi
cago, in his address before the asso-
citation on THE Money Trust Inquiry.
At the same time Mr.. Reynolds found
fault with the national platforms OF
the three larger political parties, be-
vide a proper system Of banking and
currency.
Speaking of the criticism heaped
upon bankers after the last panic he
said:
Il am surprised that any student OF
the subject should pretend to believe
that the banks in times of stress will
fully withhold from the public the use
of such credit and money as 1T Is pos
sible for them under existing condi-
tons and in accordance with the law to
supply. Self-interest alone would not
permit of their doing this, for no
profit can accrue to a bank where an
excess of reserve accumulates. Fur
thermore, the law of competition would
not permit 1t. for in these days, with
IL is the universal practice for banks to
extend credit in proportion to the bal
ance which a customer carries with the
hank subject to his check, the banker
knows full well that II he fails to
meet the legitimate requirements Oh
such customer it will result In the loss
of that account, which, under the law
Of competition, will go to his neighbor.
who will extend credit against such
balances. Therefore, self-interest
prompts the banker to do his utmost
to serve the public under these condi-
tons"

ness Of this country Is done upon credit.
and that the use of actual money in
transactions has been reduced to the min
imum. makes it very easy for people who
do not properly discriminate between
credit and money itself to become con-
fused in the application of the terms; and
especially is this likely to be the case
with those who have given SO little study
to the subject that they look upon bank
as being an institution dealing in money,
whereas in reality bank deals in credit
The money it carries in it's vaults is only
an incident to it's business.
This confusing of credit with money,
as 1t is related to business, has caused
resulted in more or less honest criticism
by those who do not realize that the
money power as it is usually applied re-
lates to the power or control of the credit
which may be extended against either
money or other tangible liquid assets cas-
lily or quickly convertible into money. In
view of the temper of the people toward
large aggregations Of capital it is not
surprising that there has also arisen
much confusion and misconception
through the use Of the words money
power and money trust
Says No Such Trust Exists.
Il disclaim any knowledge, to say
nothing Of any connection, with any
money trust of any character, and
feel I would be derelict in my duty If
were not to say to you that l do not be-
Heve any such trust exists.
IF a little more of the spirit Of fair
ness were to be injected into a considera-
tion and discussion of this subject the
masses of the people would be less inclin-
ed to hold prejudice against or criticise
the warehouses of the credits Of the
community, and the credits they control
are subject to the ebb and flow incident
to the fluctuations in business.
"As one who has been accused Of ad-
mitting that the money power under ex-
listing conditions. or the power to extend
credit In times of crises. rests in the
hands of few bankers in this country
whose institutions carry the surplus
banking reserves. l have for three years
past been making plea to the people
Of this country to assist in securing
legislation providing for system OF
banking and currency which 1t Is be-
Leved will very materially decentralize
the money power by placing it within the
control Of several thousand banks, rather
than to have 1t literally controlled by the
bankers in the central reserve cities, as
at present.
ma iority Of the bankers in the central
reserve cities recognize the enOrmity OF
the responsibility which rests upon them
under the existing law. and would wei
come any IeSlS.atlOn tHdt is JUST dhu idii
which would both minimize this RESPONSE
bility and free them from the unjust &C
cusations that are constantly being made
against them"
Approves Comprehensive Probe.
In conclusion, Mr.. Reynolds said:
II do not believe the bankers or the
country will enter the slightest objection
to the making Of a comprehensive inves-
tigation Of the banks by those charged
by the House with that responsibility, SO
long as such investigation does not re-
quire them to disclose to the public the
themselves and their customers, the di-

THE TIPPING EVIL

| don't know who invented tip
ping" but am sure he must have
been a selfish individual, for the
premier object Of giving tip" is
to secure something the other fellow
don't get.
1t is only in recent years that
tipping came into vogue in this
country, but in the past decade it
has made such rapid progress that
today it is recognized by thousands
as an National Evil. According to
Mr.. p. +. Dove, the president of the
Commercial Travellers League, over
$4,000, 900 is disbursed by sales
men annually among bell-boys,
walters and porters, simply, in the
form of gratuities. This means that
fifteen per cent. is added to every
commercial travellers expense ac-
count, and fifteen per cent. is to
large an item for business men to
overlook.
This association, composed OF sew
eral hundred thousand members, has
recently declared war on the tipping
abuse and in letters sent out to va
rious Hotel Mems associations, they
ask the latter to place their help or
self-respecting basis, making them
wage earners instead of beggars fol-
gratuities. with the ultimatum thai
refusal means the discontinuance o1
their patronage.
The Travelling Mems League, is {
powerful organization, but with al
the power, / doubt if it can wipe
out an abuse that has grown to be /;
part and parcel of our hotels, cafes
and etc.
/ say this because / recall othe
attempts along the same line and
although several were exceedingl.
well organized, they one and al
died quietly away without even put
ting a dent in the system, let alon
stopping it. One of these is wort
mentioning, not because 1t accom-
plished anything, but simply becaus
it was organized to regulate tn
abuse instead of crushing it. Th
movement was started by well know
club men of New York and in th
course of few weeks, nearly ever
club man in that city joined; the OK
ject of the movement was to neve
tip over ten. per cent. of the amour
paid out and, on the face Of it, thi
looks exceeding reasonable. for te
per cent. is recognized the worl
over as generous gift.
