Many Bankers Heard.

The members of the committee ap-
pointed by the bankers conference in
Chicago who appeared before the COM
nlittee to-day were:
James p. Forgan. president Of the First
National Bank of Chicago; George VI.
REYNOLDS president Of the Continental
and Commercial National Bank, Chicago;
Festus J. Wade. president Of the Mer-
camille Trust Company. ST. Louis; Sol
Wexler. vice-presideut Of the Whitney
Central National Bank. New Orleans; e.
J. Hill, vice-president of the Norwalk
National Bank. Connecticut; Joseph Chap
man. vico-president Of the Northwestern
National Bank. Minneapolis Robert f.
. Maddox. vice-president Of the American
National Bank. Atlanta. and Fred T.
Farnsworth. general secretary of the
American Bankers Association, secre-
tary 10 the committee.
The bankers were presented by Mr..
Forean. each giving the views Of the con-
ference on one phase. of the proposed leg
islauon, Mr. Forgan himself formulated
the bankers objections 20 the federal re-
serve scheme. The bankers. he said. al
though they appeared primarily as bank
ers. were in touch with three great classes
Of the people Of the country-the stock
holders Of the banks. the savings banks
depositors and the business men. mer-
chants and farmers representing the Dor
rowing class. These three classes rep
resent a large part Of the population OF
the county, he said. and We are NUT
Tally interested in the success Of this leg
islaton.'
Advocates One Central Bank.
MIR. Forgan said that one reserve or
central bank was the best plan and that
the number of reserve banks should not
exceed five at most
s"It IS best, in handling gold reserves,
10 collect them I'm one reservoir for the
benefit Of all the banks" he said No
regional bank will be able 70 strengthen
its reserves Of gold or cash without de-
pleting the reserve Of other regional
banks
The capital provided By the bill will not
be adequate at the outset, Mr. Forgan
continued. because the state banks will
be slow to subscribe until time has proved
the value Of the proposed system. He
suggested that for the twelve reserve
banks capital would be needed in the
following amounts:

SCOTS DEMOCRATIC
Much More SO Than English
Brother Across Border.
Sturdy SeIf-Assertion of the Edinburgh
Cabby in Marked Contrast to His
Kin in London-Are Skilled
in Many Trades.

Edinburgh. - One has only to
cross the English border go
ing northward to realize that
Scotland is far more democratic
country than England. Who shall say
why land that venerates an old and
proud aristocracy should have among
it's common people sturdy democrat
ic self-respect? Perhaps Scottish
democracy owes something to the
lands having lacked for more than
three Centuries resident king. For
much of that time also it has had a
reading and thinking peasantry. The
Scotch were stubbornly true to the
Sturat cause, but perhaps if their ma
tive royal family had been resident
in Scotland when James H. was driven
from the throne the two Pretenders
would have found fewer friends to
aid them in their vain invasions Rob
ert Burns, also, has long been
strong democratic influence in Scot
land, as by far the greatest British
poet of unmixed peasant blood.
Whatever the causes that lie be-
hind the peculiar spirit of the Scot
tish common folk, the American trav-
eler who is sympathetic with democ-
racy feels it in the atmosphere as
soon as he sets foot within the coun-
try. There is a look in the eyes of
the Scottish workman, skilled or un-
skilled, that is not commonly seen in
his English brother. 1t is easy to de-
tect the greater poverty of the rural
Scot after one leaves the English lake
country, with its simple and homely
comfort for all and its rich fields of
grass and grain, its fat horses and
cattle, it's walled and embowered
farmsteads, it's air of well-peopled
country and well-housed population.
In spite Of comparatively rich valleys
in the lowlands of Scotland, the coun-
try is manifestly not so rewarding to
the toll of the farmer as the region 100
miles further south. Many of the farm
steads are without trees or shrubs, and
unadorned with flowers, while the
larger fields indicate sparser popula-
ton. The hills, beautiful though they
are, take on bleak aspect beneath
clouded skies and country folks are
less comfortably clad than those of ru-
raj England.
When one reaches Edinburgh the
early impression is confirmed of a peo-
pie less materially well of, but more
sturdily self-assertive than those of
England. Your cabby at Edinburgh is
more a man and brother and less a
servant than he of London, though the

IMMENSE STORES OF COAL

and they often seem to be other
Scotchmen. The Scotch seem to be
especially skilled in certain trades.
They are excellent masons, for exam
pie. and for many years they have
gone back and forth between Scotland
and New York plying their trade at
the high American wages when busi-
ness is brisk during spring. summer
and fall. and returning to winter at
home. They catch the American pace
more quickly than most immigrants.
and they have the physical strength
to handle American tools, something
that the southern European skilled
mechanic does not always have, with
the result that he sometimes finds
himself In the land of his adoption re-
duced to the ranks Of the unskilled
