A NATION WIDE REFERENDUM VOTE
 Two Amendments Offered By Senator Bristow For Illegal Measures.
VERDICT OF PEOPLE
Will Cause More Discussion Than Any Amendments Ever Offered
 in Congress.

i Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.-Refer- endum throughout the nation and the recall of decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States will be brought about if two constitutional amendments, introduced by Senator 1 bflstoW, Of Kansas, should be adopt- ed by Congress and ratified bv the states. This is the most drastic pro- graslve legiation yet introduced. If refractory Congress sbould fall to enact any measure the presi- dent has recommended in proper form within six years from the date of the recommendation this measure under the proposed Law, must be sub mitted to the electors at the regular congressional election following the expiration of the six years period, and if approved by the electors, the measure becomes a law despite the refusal of Congress to enact it.
 The proposition involving the judi
 clal question provides that if the Supreme Court shall decide that law enacted by Congress is in violation of the provision of the constitution of the United States, Congress at reg ular session held after such decision may submit the act to the voters at a regular congressional election. And if majority of the electors voting on the measure approve it it must be- come law.
 In order however to make the yer dict of the people an absolute expres- sion of the majority of the voters, it is provided in both cases that the determining majority must include a majority of the congressional" districts and likewise a majority of the states.
 These propositions will cause more discussion when pressed than. any proposed amendments ever offered in Congress. The first one, Mir. Bris- tow explained today, enables the president to appeal to the country from a dilatory or adverse Congress upon questions of vital concern.
 This amendment, he contends pro- vides means by which the people may, with reasonable promptness, de- eide controversies and will not, in his judgment, require the overturn- ing of our entire civil administra- tions to secure the enactment of a desirable law, which either the presi- dent has refused to accept or the congress decline to enact.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
Copyright 1912 by
~ Camden, N J.

IN 1907, the Manufacturers Ma
tional Bank, of Troy, N. Y, published
"a statement showing resources of
S5,321 ,0S6.04.
IN NOVEMBER, 1910, a report to
showed resources of $7,629,841.S6.
IN THREE YEARS THE IN
CREASE AMOUNTED TO THE
ENORMOUS SUM OF $2,3O8, 1852
and the number of depositors had in
creased from 1000 to $4,000.
LOCALLY THERE WE'RE TWO
TRUST COMPANIES AND SEVEN
BANKS competing for the business
and the banking institutions of Alba
ny and Cohoes have solicited patron
age in Troy for number of years.
THE INCREASE in resources was
due to the increase in number of de-
positors.
THE INCREASE in number of de-
positors was DUE TO ADVERTIS-
ING.
GAN YOU conceive any other
means Of obtaining such great re-
suits?
WAS ANYTHING of the kind ever
accomplished before the dawn of Ad
vertising?
THE ONLY method of getting
business" practiced, to any great ex-
tent by our reat-grandfathers, was
Acutting the price"
A BANK could not "cut prices"
but, to accomplish the same object,
would have to increase the rate of
interest paid depositors-
WE ARE perfectly willing that our
grocer, our butcher, or other of our
tradesmen, should sacrifice prices"
as, in case the sacrifice" is carried
to the point where the dealer must re-
tire from business, there will be 9TH
ers to take his place.
FOR VERY obvious reasons, we
would not like to have our bank clos
ed.
OUR BANK must be conservative.
1t must not pay more than the pre-
vailing rate of interest or we would
lose confidence. When we lose con-
fidence the bank loses our patron
age.
WE REALIZE that Advertising
costs money. But we also realize
that it produces more than it costs.
If this were not so, there would be no
Advertisers.
IN THE CASE REFERRED TO
very careful record was kept as to
the particular form of Advertising
which influenced the greatest number
of new depositors.
THE NEWSPAPERS WERE
FOUND TO BE THE MOST PRO
lDUCTTVE.
IF A BANKING INSTITUTION,
(which at all cost, must retain the ap-
pearance of conservatism, can AID
yERTTSE PROFITABLY-
