to be scores of sad little hearts in Salt
Lake Christmas morning.
i am beginning to fear We won t
be able to get around to all Of them, -
said Good Fellow yesterday. "There
are so many to be cared for yet, des-
pite the many Good Fellows that have
volunteered already. Almost every
hour we hear of more poverty Please
tell the people of Salt Lake that we
must have more help ii all the little
boys and girls on our lists are to have
happiness brought to them Christmas

All day yesterday Good Fellow s
telephone was busy, Manv poor chill
dren were cared for, But there are still
more on the lists. And more are re-
ported every hour. 1t is too late now
to write to Good Fellow, You must
take your telephone and call him up.
His number is Wasatch 1877 1T may
be busy the first time you call, and
possibly it will be busy the second time.
But try again. He will! be busy. but he
needs the help OF everyone who will
volunteer. He has many more this year
to care for than last and therefore he
needs more Coed Fellows.

BANKS TRYING TO
WEATHER THE STORM

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 22,-TAe directors
OF the Bank OF London and Mexico to-
night began q careful scrutiny OF the
affairs of that Institution, and IL their
findings are indorsed by other bankers
It Is not improbable assurances will be
offered the directors which will enable
full resumption Of the business OF the
institution. 1t IS reasonably certain,
however, that the bank will continue to
avail itself of the decree Of President
Huerta, issued today, making the last
ten days OF the present year legal holi-
days,
With the possible exception OF one
other institution II Is believed that no
other bank than the Bank of London and
Mexico will take advantage Of the Off
cIal edict which authorizes financial in
stitutions to do as little or as much busi-
ness as they desire during what is re-
garded as financial crisis. The Bank
or London and Mexico was crowded to
its capacity at the closing hour OF
business today by men and women. who
were trying TO withdraw their deposits,

inside the bank to the street

Glass Opens Debate.

Opening the discussion Representative
Glass said the conference had reported
the original house bin back without one
fundamental alteration.
Mr.. Glass went over the conference re-
port In detail and defended the note pro
visions Of the bill which had been assailed
by bankers and members of the senate.
Representative Hayes OF California, MI
norty member OF the house conference
committee criticised the failure OF the
senate and the conference to remove the
provision which makes the government
of the United States primarily responsible
for the notes 1t proposes to issue to the
regional reserve banks
MIR. Hayes also declared the bin de-
fective in the provision extending credit
on farm loans maintaining that il was
a gold brick to the farmer in that only
a small percentage OF the surplus OF the
small banks could be loaned to the
farmers,

CONVICTED

Our financial oligarchy was drawn
INTO the open during the House
investigation of the money trust.
1t was shown beyond cavil that
little handful Of New York "hnan-
cial' bankers the so-called mas
tiers of capital haveacquired power
over human destinies that is far
beyond the power welded by po-
tcntates of old.
1t was demonstrated so convinc-
ingly as to silence the press that
works for special privilege that
these few powerful men command
the business situation throughout
the country. They destroy what
stands in their way. They get
what they want. The laws of the
land are not permitted to stand in
their way.
And it was proved, also, that
these men, operating the machinery
of money and credit through which
they work their will, hold it in
their power to make and unmake
financial panics-a species of
business disturbance that has been
characterized as "WaIl street going
on a strike"
King Mammon does rule and
may today, as in 1907, precipitate
a panic upon nation whose gen.
eral business conditions are sound
and prosperous. There is no higher
duty before Congress than the
curbing of the money power and
the freeing Of money and credit
from the control of system bank

came home with an absolutely clean
score, seven finished with penaliza-
tons and twelve fell by the roadside
The Buick was the one American car
to finish with honors.
The idea of the test was to prove
that a light car, not exceeding $1,000
In price, could make complete circle
around France, taking in the Alps and
the Pyrenes mountains, with no more
attention than ten minutes each morn
ing for oiling and slight adjustments.
For this purpose all the essential
parts were permanently sealed and the
loss of one Of these seals entailed dis
qualification.
The trip had to be made in fifteen
days, with three days set aside for
public exhibitions and sales work.
The local dealers, The Iowa Auto
Sales Co., feel gratified at the showing
the Buick made in this contest. ADV.
