VANDERBILT BANKING
! PLAN IS CRITICISED
Buckley Attacks Proposal in
Address Before the
Economic Club

s Providence, r. l., October 2s.-The plan
Of President Frank A. yanderlip of the
National City bank of New York for a
government central bank and the objec-
tions of bankers to the Glass-Owen cur
iency bill, were attacked by Representa-
tive r. ]. Bulkley of Ohio, member of the
House committee on banking and cur
rency, speaking tonight before the Eco
nomic club.
Congressman Bulkley declared Mr.. Van
deriip's proposal for a note issue insti-
tuition absolutely managed by the gov
ernment, made before the Senate commit
tee on banking and currency last Friday,
shows how little merit there is in the
bankers objections to the so-called COM
pusory feature OF the pending bill and
how little their fear OF government con-
troll really amounts to- He said in part:
Mr.. vanderlip proposes a government
central bank having branches which
would perform the functions of the re-
gional reserve banks proposed by the
Glass-Owen bill. All the directors of his,
central bank were to be presidential APP
pointees and they In turn were to choose
directors of the branches. Here indeed,
is a system in which the banks would
have no voice whatever. Yet Mr.. Wander
lip thinks 1t would be acceptable to them,
because he proposes to permit them to sell
their stock to the central bank.
THE bankers have said they are op-
posed on principle to being compelled to
subscribe to stocks, but Mr.. Vanderllp
Tells us that the computations about prin-
eiple will fade IL We only allow them TO
sell their stock the public.
Z '.If there is danger in a government note
issue, how can Mr.. Vanderlp justify his
proposal to set up government credit
machine? He proposes that government
Officers shall have full charge of lending
other peoples money. II there is danger
of our thoroughly safeguarded note issue

not been favored with higher education.
Some of our most brilliant men of today
are those who owe their success to read
ing rood books they obtained at free pub
lie lforaries-books they could not afford
to buy.
The efforts to bring the libraries of Bir-
mingham to higher standard cannot but
appeal to any man who wishes to advance
the cause of culture and learning. Is
there any that can appeal with a stronger
emphasis than that of providing the young
people of Birmingham with means to
make everyone a more manly man,
more womany woman? "Hitch your
wagon to the stars" is saying commonly
quoted. but how can any one do that
without the means. BY our libraries, We
aim to supply him with the harness.
Since the present agitation for better
libraries in Birmingham, l have noticed
decided change in the attitude of the
public, and in addition to substantial sums
alreedv promised toward supplying new
books we anticipate a stronger co-opera-
/ ton than ever before. Often has the
question been asked me lately, What
would you have me to do?"
At the present time I am pleased to
state that the outlook for a successful
campaign for books is bright. BY several
of our citizens we hear the statements
that this is Birmingham's greatest need

Mr.. Gates came west about a month
ago on the advice of physicians, who
accompanied him. There was some inn
provement after his arrival here and a
hunting trip was planned. 1t was sue
cessful from the sportsman viewpoint,
but the exertion seemed to leave Mr..
Gates weaker. Last night there was IL
change for the worse. Efforts to relieve
Mr.. Gates sluggish heart were futile
and he gradually weakened until death

more than $1,000 buying fur coats for
friends. He gave his chauffeur $1,000 and
presented his guide on the trip with $4,000
in currency.

one of the early promoters of automobile

He was greatly devoted to his mother
and only a few weeks ago he spent $100e
extra for special train order to see her
through Chicago. Mr.. Gates was ready
to start from Kansas City for his home
in Minneapolis. After he had arranged
for special train to Minneapolis at 4
cost of $4O0 his mother said she would
like to have him accompany her to Chi
cago whence she planned to proceed to
New York city. The son at once changed
his plans and paid s1400 for special train
from Kansas City to Minneapolis by way
of Chicago.
Mr.. Gates had considerable aversion TO
