IS THERE A MONEY TRUST7
Statistics Show That Dozen Men
 Control Most of Our Currency

Four years ago Robert NJ LaFolIette stood up in his place in the United States senate and announced that on hundred men controlled the money centers of ,Ie country He called them by name and declared that they had the power to create artificially periods of prosperity and panic.
 Thereupon rose great laughter. No one took hirl seriously.
 Yet today figures and cold statistics show that more power is lodged with d dozen men than La Toilette. four years ahead of his time dared ascribe to his famous one hundred. No one smiled when last winter Chairman Henry of the rules committee of the house of representatives declared that more than = per cent of the coun- try's financial resources, banks and bankers and industrial corporations are now controlled and dominated by not more thar four small groups of capitalists composed of not more tha n ten or twelve Individuals"
 Both statements may be disputed and the accuracy of the lists may be questioned. But so mOmentOus and so grave was the impression which the charge of Congressman Henry and others made upon the house of rep resentatives that it delegated to one Cf it's most important standing com mittees the Gargantuan task of in quiring into the affairs of thirty thousand banks to learn whether such d condition does exist. To describe the supposed power a new and sig nificant expression was coined-the money trust"
 What is the money trust, and how does it affect the borrower? A great proportion of all business is made pos sible by borrowed money, or credit. Credit is the lifeblood of industry. If the power to extend it is so closely concentrated-then we have a state within a state-a power greater than the government itself

fellows will rest
Both men have tapered down in
their work for the past few days but
Sunday was a strenuous one at the
camps. AS a final workout both the
fighters went in for boxing and the
big fights that visited the training
quarters were evidently impressed
with the work of the fighters.
The fight fans have not been able to
pick favorite in the battle and bett-
ing today was at even money. 1t was
expected that Palzer, on account of
his reach and his experience would
rule favorite, but McCarty's showing
against Flynn and his work at train
ing quarters has dampened the ardor
of the Palzer men who had planned
to give slight odds.
