THE BANK BILL ISSUE.
Government Control as Against Pri-
waite Control.
(From the Outlook)

The administration currency bill pro-
vides that general control of the entire
national bank system shall be in the
hands of seven men, three of the seven
being the secretary of the treasury. the
controller of the currency and the sec
rotary of agriculture. The other four
members are to be chosen by the presi-
dent of the United States. with the adj
vice and consent OF the Senate. 1t is
mandatory upon the president that at
least one of his four appointees shall be
an experienced banker,
Under the Aldrich or monetary bill of
1911 the entire membership of this fed
eral reserve board would have been
chosen by the bankers themselves.
Here. then. Is the whole trouble. The
case is that of private control versus gov
eminent contro, TO ask that the bank
ers shall select the federal reserve board
Is like asking that the railways shall
choose the interstate commerce commits
slon. 1t is perhaps not unnatural that
the bankers should be reluctant to lie, the
control pass out OF their hands but IS II
quite fair for them 10 claim that what is
proposed Is 80 substitute political con-
troll" FOR business control:
If the federal reserve board, appointed
by the president, with the advice and
consent of :hc Senate. IL "politcal," then
the interstate commerce commission is
political" and the supreme court Is "po-
ltical"
If the American people can aust the
president to choose their supreme court
for them. the bankers can certainly trust
him to choose the federal reserve board.
A president who would prostitute tho
federal reserve board to his own base
political and partisan advantage would
endoavor to 80 prostitute the supreme
court and would deserve to be :mpeaChed,
No political, social, financial or indus
trial system was ever devised without its
most important element being confidence
in human honor If the American sys-
TEN ever reaches point where the prcsi-
dent cannot be trusted, in the full light
of publicity and with the supervision OF
the United States Senate, to appoint our
federal Judges, our interstate commerce
commissions, and our bank supervisors,
It will be time to abandon that system
and to adopt some form of benevolent
despotism.
Much of the banking opposition is not
based seriously on the per cent. bond,
on the amount Of reserve required by law,
or upon the rate of discount. Let us di-
vest our minds of everything that may
confuse the issue
The issue is between private regulation
by n group of men elected in directors
room, and public regulation by group
of men in regard to whose choice the
entire country has voice after the full
es, nublicitv and discussion.

Kind Treatment Of Cows.

An Interesting experiment was re-
Gently performed at the Kansas Agri.
cultural college to determine the rela.
tive results Of kind and Of unkind
treatment upon COWS. Three cows
were treated kindly, and were found
to give an average OF 38 pounds Of
milk, with 4.3 per cent, OF butter fat.
Later these same cows were frighten-
ed by jumping at them, bowling at
them and striking them while they
were eating. 1t was found at milking
that they produced only 20 pounds OF
milk, containing 3.4 per cent. butter
fat. Three other cows tested 81
pounds of milk. containing AZ per
cent. of butter fat, under kind treat
ment. They were driven into a field,
and the dogs were allowed to bark at
them and chase them. AS result
they averaged only % pounds Of milk
with S.8 per cent. of butter fat. II
should not be necessary to point the
moral.

INDUSTRIAL INQUIRY.
Views of fras Commons # the Federal
Commission ON Indust rinl peIations.


Tho most important service Of the in
dustrial relations commission. l sho!Id
say, would be to bring about better or
ganizatiou and cooperation CT all State
and federal agencies that deal with labor
problems We have already had two
great governmental investigations OF
labor; one made IN 1854 and the other
that Of the industrial commission IN 1900
Each of these seemed to be mer.ly an
opportunity for all interested parties to
get their opinions published. ana It is
difficult to locate any constructive work
that these investigations accomplished.
The present commission has n big list
of topics set up for investigation. bat
does it not seem that all the State and
federal bureaus of labor, statistics,
hearth, arbitration, and the like should
have made the most OF their investiga-
tions in the course Of handling the prob
lens themselves?
| should say the commission should
start off by calling in heads of depart
ments and their chief subordinates that
have to do with labor problems both
state and federal, and find out why they
have not taken care of their work What
are the obstacles In their way? Do they
overlap? Are there gaps? Are they COM
petent? Do they waste time on routine
that could be given to essentials? What
Would they suggest to make their inves-
legations and administration more effec-
tive?
The commission might also send COM
potent investigators to such foreign coun-
tries "a France, Belgium. Germany, Eng
land, Australasia, TO find out whether
they have better organization and staff
for this work, and whether they have
anything which could be adopted by our
American labor and health departments,

nish food for the bees all year around,
so that there can be no failure of food

erage production of a hive Is 78
pounds. With honey at 10 cents a
pound this makes profit OF $3.50 on
