HOLDS BIBLE AND LAW

Justice Barnard Says Five Books of
Moses Are Much the Sane as
English Common Law.

Justice Job Barnard. in discussing the
literal teaching OF the Bible in its re-
lation to modern law last night at the
Church Of the New Jerusalem, declared
that if the spiritual law Of the Bible shan
be manifest in all our statute law and
in our International law. then I'VE may

and their spears into pruning hooks"
The common law Of England. which Ia
the basis Of the American statutes. Jus

that is recorded in the Five Books or
Moses. THE criminal laws have been
mainly inspired by the Commandments
which say thou shalt not All the Iegis-
lation concerning the Sabbath is found

RESERVE BANKS
MAY CUT RATES
Federal Board Plans to Let
Down Barriers to
Rediscounting.
ALL RESERVES NOT IN
Business by Twelve Institutions So
Far Is Low Compared with What
Will Be Done Later.
ALL RESERVES NOT In

The Federal Reserve Board probably
will reduce rediscount rates Of several Of
the reserve banks next week, so as to
remove the barrier to rediscounting
transactions purposely established at the
opening last Monday
The changes are expected soon after
the completion Of the reserve payments
by banks of the Dallas and San Fran
cisco districts.
Ohcials expect that by the beginning
OF next week nearly all Of the country
banks will have made their PAYMENTS
and that the twelve reserve banks will
be in a position to report to the Federal
Reserve Board that they have in their
vaults practically the full amount OF re-
serves required by the law for the open
Ing Of the new system.
Board Limits Scope.
With the reduction Of the rediscount
rates the real operation Of the new in
stitutions will begin. Although II had
been announced that the scope Of the
reserve bank operations at the opening
would include rediscounting and accept
ance Of deposits. OF checks drawn by
member banks on other member banks
IN their district or on Federal reserve
banks, as well as the acceptance OF de-
posits OF reserves. it is a fact that the
reserve board limited the scope to the
last function at the outset
The twelve reserve banks altogether
have totaled only a few million dollars
OF rediscounting. which sum is hardly
comparable with what the banks will
do in a similar period after rediscount
levels normal to the financial conditions
in the various districts have been estab-
lished.
The reserve bank officials seem to have
been pretty well informed as to con-
ditions existing in their districts the
week for the opening. for they suggested
rates ranging as low as 5 per cent
Some OF the banks already have suggest
ed that their rediscount rates be lowered
so as to enable them to accommodate
their member banks at rates which will
make the transactions profitable TO these
member banks.
