Senator LaFollette proposed two
amendments just before the bill came
TO a vote which caused a mild sem
sation. One of them was written into
| the bill and the other rejected by an
| overwhelming vote.
The first provided that mo United
states senator or representative in
Congress shall be a member of a fed
cral reserve hoard. director in fed :

rector of any member bank"
81 do not believe that any United
States senator or member of Congress
should be allowed to directly or indi-
rectly profit from this legislation" ,"
said Senator LaFollette. There have
been intimations afloat that organiza-
tions are contemplated under this leg
islation that may be participated in
by members of one or both houses of
Congress.
This amendment was adopted with
out a roll call. The second amend
ment provided that no member of the
FEDERAL reserve board, any officer or
director of regional or member bank
should be director or officer. of any
other bank. trust company or insur-
ance company.
This, Senator LaFollette said, was
designed to prevent the money trust"
from gaining control of the new sys-
tenn through inter1ocking directors

Another group the Morgan group, was
organized with the National Bank of

other dozen banks and trust com
panies. This paralleled the Standard
OIL group and these two great com
blnes account for the control of money
and credits and capital in the great

Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon. was the memory
of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her TO

light OF the early morning. She re-

and gratitude, as another blessing
