NEW CURRENCY LAW
DISCUSSED BY JOHNSON
RESERVE BANKS AND HOW THEY
WILL BE BENEFICIAL
TO PEOPLE.

In commenting on the opening of the
reserve banks provided for by the new
currency law, f. f, Johnson. cashier of
the Boise City National bank, pointed
out certain features which he thought
would produce beneficial results Mr.
johnson is a pioneer banker of the
Occur dAlene district, and was presl-
dent Of the First National bank of this
city from the time of its organization
until few years ago. when he became
identified with the Boise City National
and moved to the state capital. Mr.
Johnson said:
May Be Cumbersome at First.
"The opening Of the federal reserve
banks Monday morning is an import
ant advance in the banking system of
the United States. While / fear it
will be found more cumbersome than
the operation of a central bank with
its necessary branches; 1t Is neverthe-
less essentially the same Members of
the federal reserve board are the d.
rectors of the central bank without the
burden of detailed bank administra-
ton, having supervision over all II
regional reserve banks.
"The power given the board is suf-
ficiently broad to mobilize reserves
and by wise administration give an
elastic currency. The latter has been
much needed at different times in the
past.
No Immediate Changes.
"The public, I fear, will be disap-
pointed in the fact that the lower min
imum reserve requirements will not
Immediately make available large
sums for the banks to loan. Banking
must go on much the same until many
details and future policies are worked
out.
"The opening Of the federal reserve
banks will have the immediate effect
of placing within reach Of the member
banks a large amount of emergency
currency preventing in the future
panics such as the one seven years ago
1t will also supply currency for crop
movements without the tightening Of
money as formerly.
81 do not believe good bankers ex
pect to initiate business by rushing to
increase loans and lower reserves at
present not unnecessarily high. l do
believe, however, they are welcoming
this new factor in banking with a re-
solve on their part to do everything
practicable to give the country the
greatest possible benefit therefrom,"

schemes works Letters that GO
through the usual channel, personal
letters and others, are all opened by
Ira Smith, whose job at the White
House is to do just that. About the
only letters that Mr.. Smith ever turns
over to the president unopened are
those from members of the presidents
immediate family, and even those
might be opened except for the fact
that Mr.. Smith has a knack at recog-
nizing handwriting.
The fact is that 1t is almost impos-
sible to write secret to the president
and have it still a secret when IT
reaches him. That is one of the great
objections to being president.
The letters that reach the White
House every day for Ira Smith to open

TOO MANY LAWS.
Some Thoughts Worth Considering by
Idaho Lawmakers.
Ueslies' Weekly

One of the easiest things in the
world is to criticise, to find fault. This
weakness, common to all humanity, Is
quite characteristic of our legislators
and results in a superabundance Of
sloppy legislation. The average law
maker jumps to the conclusion that the
one thing needed to improve condi-
tions is new legislation. To find de-
fects does not call for great ability;
any one can pick flaws, but con-
structive program to overcome de-
fects calls for a degree of ability that
does not appear in much of our nod
ern legislation. Senator Elihu Root, in
addressing the American Bar ass ,eia
ton, declared that the people were
right in their contention that there
were too many laws. In the five years
from 1909 to 1913 congress and the
state legislatures enacted more than
81, 900 statutes, and in the same period
there were over $4,000 decisions of
federal and state courts of last resort,
/ aported in $50 volumes.
A most intimate connection exists
between the number of cases and the
number of poorly drawn laws Every
useless word, every loose construction
every ambiguous phrase is apt to cost
a lawsuit Many of these statutes, ;"
says Senator Root, "are drawn artifi
cially, carelessly, ignorantly. Their
terms are so vague, uncertain, doubt.
full, that they breed litigation newt
ably. They are thrust into the body o.
existing laws without anybody taking
the pains to ascertain what the exist
Ing laws are, what decisions the court
have made in applying and interpret
ing them or what the resultant forces
will be when the old laws and the new
are brought together" Such mass
of uncalled for and sloppy legislation
weakens the respect for all law, ane
throws a burden on the courts thai
does not properly belong to them, Civ
ing rise to the expression Legislation
by the courts"
