SPECULATION is RIFE

There is good deal of speculation
as to what will happen January first
with the appointments to be filled by
City Council and those to be made by
Mayor Arthur C. Whitaker. There is
very little information extant. Those
in authority are saying little. Mayor
Whitaker declares that he will not
make his appointments until the first
of January. and all expressed specu-
lation upon the part of the public is
purely guesswork.
So far the City Councils organiza-
rion is concerned, nothing has been
definitely determined excepting, per-
haps. the selection of the President of
the organization for the ensuing year.
None of the Commissionerships have
been determined upon so far as
learned. Indeed there is some hkell-
hood that the Council will not fill the
various Offices until after the first of
the year.
There are many candidates.

CHRISTMAS RECIPE

Make somebody happy today Each
morning that motto repeat, and life,
that was gloomy and gray, at once be-
comes pleasant and sweet. No odds
what direction you go, whatever the
pathway you wend, there's somebody
weary OF woe, there's somebody sick
for friend; there's somebody needing
a guide, some pilgrim who wandered
astray; oh. don't let your help be de-
nled-make somebody happy today.
There's somebody tired of the strife,
the weariscme struggle for bread.
borne down by the burden of life, and
envying those who are dead; a little
encouragement now may drive his
dark visions away, and smooth out a
seam from his brow-make somebody
happy today! There's somebody sick
over there, where sunlight is shut from
the room; there's somebody deep in
despair, beholding no light in the
gloom; there's somebody needing your
aid, your solace, wherever you stray:
then let not your help be delayed
make somebody happy today, some
comfort and sympathy give; and
Christmas shall ne'er go away, but al
ways and ever shall live.

the great manufacturing and Industrial

as well as a good thing for their oe-

Good Thing for Bankers
Now 1 say these regional reserve
banks are going to be a good thing for
the bankers If you give me one of your
dollars and a piece Of paper for three
times as much and I give you back three
OF my dollars, can't you make money on
it, IL you put up dollar with ME and
give YOU back three dollars. II you can't
make money on that transaction you
ought to go out of business. Under this
new system when unusual demands are
made by bank depositors drawing money
and when unusual demands are made at
home FOR the development Of new enter
prise then the solvent bank which cal
ries its paper to the regional reserve
bank as a matter of right, not as mat
ter of privilege, can cash it temporarily
and bring that cash back into your COM
munity where it is needed to protect
run on the bank or to relieve business
conditions. Isn't that a relief from the
panic conditions we have gone through
in the paste
.Since the Aldrich-Vreelands bill the
moneys of the government of the United
States in the main have been carried in
the vaults of the treasury and sub
treasures of the United States out or
circulation and without being used as u
basis for credits. I say in the main.

ury of the United States. In times of q

to go out as. Mr.. McAdoo did few
months ago to enable the country people
to move the fall crops Under the new
conditions of this bill that will be un-
necessary you could give the regional
bank of your section good paper and
receive in exchange cash and it would
not be necessary to call upon the federal
government. But here is the thing that
is most 9mportant with this bill because
on the statute books it will take out Of

money on the same day. OF course, all
of them will never ask for their money
on the same day in ordinary conditions.
l think it is safe to say that not more
than two or three per cent of them Will
ever ask for their money on the same
day and the law itself by fixing the re-
serve of 10 per cent assumes not more
than IS per cent will ever ask for their
money at the same time from a solvent
bank.
But that same law that provides that
the banks of this country shall reserve
10 per cent of the depositors' money to
pay him to meet extraordinary condi-
tions, says that the bank may deposit
per cent of that 15 per cent in a fed
eral reserve city. And unfortunately,
we have discovered in the history of two
panics. without intending to reflect in
any way on our neighbors, but merely
to state a fact that exists, that natural
ly our reserve goes to New York be-
cause New York pays the best interest
for it.

therefore, It goes to New York in
normal times when it Is not needed in
Birmingham or some other outside city.
but time has demonstrated that this re
serve placed in New York Is placed In
the most dangerous point on the map
that the great conditions in New York
respond more quickly to panic condi-
tions and panic alarms than any other
place in the United States, and when
those conditions arise and spread
throughout the country, il is impossi-
bic for your local banker 10 draw his
reserve from New York, because if he
does he tears the temple of credit down
upon his own head, because when he
pulls down the credit system in New
York its reflected injury falls on you
and you reap the punishment That's
trne here. Its true in every city. Do
y-d know that during the last two
panios that it was impossible to with
draw the reserves that the Birmingham
banks had in New York out of New
York city when they were needed to
meet the conditions in Birmingham?
That money had 10 stay in the cen-
trail reserve city and we had through
the good nature and graciousness Of
our people to accept clearing house GER
to allow that condition to remain On
our statute books or should we remedy
it? Under this bill it is proposed to es-
tablish a certain number of regional
reserve banks-the House bill carried
49, that may be changed before the bill
becomes a law SO far as the numbers
are concerned-but this regional reserve
bank is a place where you can assem-
BILE the reserve of that region.

Conditions Confronting Tariff Writers

.sIn writing this tariff bill we realized
that the time had not come, if it comes
at all, thatthe government of the United
States should fix the prices of commodi-
ties in this country. We We're confronted
by a condition where one-half of the
articles that were turned in to the GUS
tom house were taxed so heavily that
competition had ceased and monopoly
could only be prevented by competition
at home and when competition at home
ceased there was no regulating of prices;
so that our purpose in writing this bill
was not to tear down the wall entirely.
The government of the United States
requires money to transact its business
1t was necessary to collect a large por-
tion OF that money by customs dues
levied at the customs houses, but when
those customs duesIwere so high that no
imports could cross the border, or little
or none, not only competition was de-
stroyed, but the revenue of the govern
ment itself ceased--hecause when the
goods are not passed through the Gus
tom house the tax could not be levied
upon them We endeavored when we
found that articles could be produced
as cheap at home as they could abroad,
to put them absolutely on the free list
(Applause) Because there could be no
competition in goods, no matter how lit
tie the tariff levied on them, if they could

a discussion of the intricacies of the tar
if Dill. but l think it is due to my con-
stituency and my friends in Alabama who
are present here tonight to point out the
great principles on which the present
tariff law rests and what effect, in my
Judgment 1t will probably have upon the
nation
Whenever you place in the hands of
che man, or one set of men the right
to regulate the prices of commodities,
you have a monopoly. Monopolies are
as old as the civilized world and since
the beginning of time free men have
struggled to throw from their shoulders
the evil effects of monopolies All his
tory points to but two ways by which
you can prevent monopolies.
Zone is by governpent regulations the
other is by fair and honest competition.
(ApplauseD In some matters it has not
been found necessary for the government
to regulate prices in order to prevent
monopolies. When we have government
regulation, you must trust your affairs
in the hands of few men. 1t has been
said that no government could be better
than an absolute monarchy If it had an
angel for a king. But as we can't find
angels for kings, we refuse to have abSo-
Lutte monarchies (applause) and when
ever you resort to government regulation,
as is necessary at times. then you must
seek to regulate monopolies by uncon-
tIolled competition, then you have got
the contendng factors of life appealing
to regulate prices on a basis that he
who sells may make a reasonable profit
and that he who buys may not be bur-
dened with eXorbtant prices
