THE RESERVE BOARD.

Almost all the national banks in
he country have signified their pur-
pose to enter the new banking sys-
tenn provided by the Glass-Owen
measure. Something like a dozen
national banks have formally decided
90 surrender their charters and cease
operations as national institutions,
in order that they may remain out
side the new system. On the other
hand, a very large number of State
institutions will come into the sys-
tenn.
Of the greatest importance, now,
IS the personnel OF the Central Re-
serve Board. 1t should be appointed
with reference to nothing whatever
save the equipment of the body, IS q
whole to handle the great task
most efficiently. 1t should command
he confidence of business and finan-
cial interests in this country. Hard
ly less important, it should contain
some men, at least, with interna-
tional reputation as experts in the
theory and, science of finance and
banking. Very much is going to de-
pend on the European impression of
our new system at its inauguration.
If it commands confidence, if it i'm

unifcation and consolidation of the
financial power of this nation has
been accomplished, then much will

CIVIL SERVICE CONVEN-
TON.


service employees of the Federal Gov
ernment will be represented by the
delegates who, on Friday and Satur-
day Of this week, will meet here for
the second annual convention of the
National Association Of Civil Service
Employees. It is the largest single
army Of employed in the land. 1t
handles the business Of the National
Government, scattered all over the
continent and the outlying posses
sions. Moreover, it is very rapidly
growing army. With the continual
outreaching Of governmental activi-
ties into new fields of work and re-
sponsibility, the force of Govern
ment employees is going to keep on
growing Indefinitely. The possibil-
ity of nationalizing great services
which are now conducted by private
enterprise, growsmore imminent with
every year. In almost all other coun-
tries the wire-communication serv-
ice, Tor instance, has become a gov
ernment function, and here in the
United States there is such demand
for that expansion Of government
operations that it is not to be pre-
sumed it can permanently be resist
ed. Governments in other coun-
tries have taken over transporta-
ton facilities until government
ownership of these is, outside the
United States and Great Britain,
rather the worlds rule than its ex-
ception.
Therefore it may fairly be pre-
sumed that the civil service army of
a quarter million today will be dou-
bled, and perhaps quadrupled, in
the next generation; perhaps much
sooner. How does the Government
manage its relations with this vast
and growing body of men and
women?
1t will hardly he urged that the
Government is model employer.
With few exceptions, service for the
Government offers small incentive of
ambition and special effort. The sys-
tenn is too deadly monotonous. Merit
finds too little chance for gaining
recognition and reward. 1t would
be difficult, probably impossible, to
find any other department of en-
ployment in which, on the whole,
there is less ground for expecting
good service and good character to
bring adequate recognition and SUBJ
stantiai returns.
This is a serious indictment to lay
against the Government as an en-
ployer; but even the man who will
declare that the indictment is not
warranted, will in the same breath
almost always advise young man
or young woman to keep out of the
Government service, That is the
real test. Who, nowadays, save ir
extraordinary and special circum.
stances, advises an ambitious, ener.
getic young man or woman to &c
into the civil service with the ex.
pectation of making il career?
More and more in the future, al

TONOPAH BULLION
SENT TO SHELTERS

Almost two and a half tons of bull
lion was shipped this morning by
Wells Fargo in spite of the embargo
on quotations and the difficulty of
determining the price of silver. The
Tonopah Extension sent out &c bars
weighing $500 pounds, valued at
$4,000, as the third shipment and
final cleanup for the month of July.
The bullion will be held by the Amer
lean Refining & Smelling company
subject to orders so far as the silver
content is involved. The gold con
tent will be RENTED at once. The
Montana shipped % bars, valued ap-
proximately at $17,3S0.
The policy of the Montana is left
to the discretion of President Charles
Knox. who is in San Francisco, and
will determine what curse is the
best to take. 1t is understood that
the smelters are willing to advance
fifty cents an ounce on contingets of
silver bullion. 1t is not generally
understood that the Tonopah bullion
contains n part of gold to 80 parts
silver, and therefore has to be treated
al the refinery, where the metals are
separated. Gold bars are always sold
direct to the mint.-BOnanZa.

NEVADA CON-. IS
STILL OPERATING
PRESIDENT ECCLES SAYS 1T RUN
LONG TINE ON HALF
BASIS

Large losses would be sustained
by the Nevada Consolidated as the
result of a complete shut down; the
company is the only one of the big
copper producers that has never had
to borrow money; the local manage
ment is in good hands, harmony pre-
walls between the heads of depart
ments and the general manager,
there is a splendid working organi-
cation all down the line; it is not
the intention of the Nevada Con. to
will be continued on the present SO
per cent basis until normal condi-
tions are restored. This is the sub
stance of statements made to the Ely
Expositor by s. w. Eccles, president
of the company.
"Who would have thought two
weeks ago that Emperor William of
Germany would close down mines in
this country" asked Mr.. Eccles.
''The so per cent basis is much bet
ter than what prevails in many 9TH
err places, and l am delighted at the
intelligent way in which the em-
ployes of the company have received
the new working schedule. I have
talked with many of them, but have
heard no complaints. I think we
have a remarkably efficient organf-
cation of capable men who under
stand the conditions. 1t costs more
to produce copper when working on
a SO per cent basis than or 100 per
cent, as the overhead charges remain
the same.
Conditions in many places will
be much worse than here" continued
Mr.. Eccles, land | would advise men
to hang on to their jobs here. l at

Europe formerly took 65 per cent
of this country's production, a very
large part of it going to Germany.
Now there is no place where 1t can
be sold, but the Nevada Consolidated
will be able to continue production
on a so per cen basis longer than
any other company. The Nevada
Consolidated has always carried it.
