 'T think that if I were president of a bank and felt that I was being un- justly used l could announce that fact and withdraw without any danger to my institution said the witness. He admitted the impositin of the collec- ton tax, was not properly a function of a clearing house association.
 MT. Untermyer brought out by read ing from a treaties by James G. Can non, member of the clearing house committee, that the banks of Buffalo practically paid their dividends by tax ing the collection of out of town checks.
 Don't you know that some of the New York banks are earning from 20 to 10 per cent on their capital?"
 The witness admitted that the Ma tional City bank was earning 40 per cent on it's capital of $25,00000
 The business done with the clearing house banks by merchants and business men was in the neighborhood of 72 per cent, he said. as against 2S per cent for stock exchange transactions.
 The hearings will probably be con tinued into next week.

To Avoid Exposure

The committee is anxious to avoid ex- posture of legal transactions, of, the in stitutions concerned and will examine only those that are believed to be the proper basis for special legislation. This can only be accomplished by the plan that has been arranged. The objections put forward by the banks invites the ex-

 to avoid this. The committee considers

 inquiry during the heat and excitement of political campaign and has not from
 the outset contemplated any such course

If he only shot out his blows straight

But he is inclined to start the blow be-

tiary for piundering the public do

1 have but little patience, therefore,
for any system or propaganda that
seeks only to devise ways and means
for mining the available plant food
from the soil, or how to make plant
food available that it may be more
readily mined" out. In other words,
any system OF farm management that
does not aim to return to the soil the
| equivalent Of what 1t takes out Is a
ldetriment to the country-is treason
against the flag-for food Is even more
imperative than the ballot or the priv
ilege Of trial by jury.
Dry farming, therefore, must give
as much emphasis to conservation OF
fertility as to conservation of mois-
ture IL 1t would command the respect
and support of patriotic men.
: The chief objection urged against
the rearing of livestock in a semi
arid country is the lack of pasture:
that the pastures dry up early and the
late ummer and fall Is apt to leave
the herds or fiocks without sufficient
/. grazing. Where corn can be grown
successfully, however, the silo can be
substituted for the meadow and an
abundance OF siIage provided for late
summer and autumn feeding.
Viewed from almost any standpoint,

to engage in general agriculture. AS
a rule such a country will soon be
worked out" The COW has been the
salvation of many q country and dry

the country and establish a permanent

Dry farming, therefore, Is a bigger
problem than conservation of moisture.
