The report of the organization COM

shows the division OF the country into
twelve reserve districts and names

reserve bank in each district. a large
number Of cities made application lor
these locations, but as only Twelve
could be selected, many were dlsap-
pointed. Accordingto reports baitl-
more and New Orleans are protesting
strongly. The eligibility Of st. LOUIS
and Kansas City is unquestioned, but
aharp criticism Of their selection IS
based on the fact that they are in the
aame state. We take it that ibis
criticism comes largely from people
who have never crossed the Mississippi
River, and therefore have never peen

Several bills amendatory OF the
Panama Canal Act have been intro
duced in the Senate, and at least ons
resolution. The purpose Of the biii
is to change the provisions regarding
tolls. 80 as to exempt all United State
trading ships, all American tradini
ships. or all trading ships from pay
inc tolls. The resolution woul
authorize the President to suspen
the operation OF the toll exemptio
clause for a specified time, or for sue
time as he may deem necessary. Thef
measures indicate disposition TO 9
something other than repeal the fre
tolls clause. We believe, howeve
that the repeal bill that passed Il
House, will finally pass the Senate
small majority.
