At the meeting of the National

At the meeting of the National
American Bar Assn. held in
Washington last month, Senator
Root told the members that from
1909 to 1913 inclusive, Congress
and the State Legislatures passed
62.014 laws.
No one knows how many thous-
andS and scores of thousands OF
laws were in force before 1901,
bat the new 62,014 repeated man>
of those previously in force and
amended many more, with no end
of resulting confusion.
But at any rate the country as a
whole and every State in 1t suffers
too much law-making, rs while
few laws are vicious enough to
work direct harm, thousands of
them do so indirectly, as they are
unnecessary, Inconsistent and i'm,
possible to enforce.

A future clear and bright with
promise of the best things, is the
way President Wilson summed up
his views of the business pros
poets upon the opening of the
new banking system Monday.
Fundamental wrongs once RICH
ted, all differences will clear away
aud he says the new tariff law, the
new currency law, new trade com
mission law and labor provision of
the new ANTITRUST law are the means
thru which the soil has everywhere
oeen LAID bare out of which mono
poly is slowly to be eradicated.
And undoubtedly the means by
which credit has been set free is
Ut the heart of all these things, is
the key piece OF the whole struc-
-turc.
The President also thinks that.
the war that has involved nearly
all of Europe has taught the Uni
ted States the lesson of mobilizing
its resources in the most effective
way possible. and believes that in
the light of the new day with its
new understandings, the problems
of the railroads, will also be met
and dealt with in spirit of candor
and Justice.

The New Bank System.

On Monday morning the Ma
lions new currency system where
by the death blow is given to Ban.
kers' panic, which always results
in the disturbance Of business
caused by contracting credit and
diminishing circulation of curren-
cy, the first result OF which is the
loss of jobs by men employed in
producing activities, went into eff
fected by the formal opening of
the twelve reserve banks in differ
ent districts throughout the Uni
ted States. This new system of
business that will be done by the
establishment of these regional
banks first provides elasticity to
the Currency, that is, it furnishes
! means for turning credit into
currency when needed.
Second it provides new scheme
of bank reserves. intended to pro-
vent the drift OF reserves into New
York and the stock exchange.
Ii conditions we're normal, the
establishing of these banks would
hardly be noticed, but at the pres
ent time when the business of the
whole country, but particularly in
the cotton producing country is
anything but normal, November
10th will be red letter day. Of
chief interest in this part of the
country, is the fact that the new
law will provide funds in the crop
moving period; not that credit will
be any easier, but the banks will
be better able to take care of their
customers.
Wide fluctuations in the money
market will be prevented by this
system and Will have the effect of
preserving a reasonable balance
for the borrowing of money
on securities, real estate etc. and
debtors will be relieved of a great
deal of worry oyer maturil g
debt.
Under this new system, it is
proposed to keep the money where
the business creates 1T, so that it
it can help business by respon-
ding to its demands when called
upon. 1t is proposed to return to
the twelve reserve banks, all the
reserve funds of the cou ntry banks
which heretofore have been sent
to New York, a given mount one
third of the reserve to be kept in
che local banks; the second third
to be kept in the regional reserve
banks and the other third in either
the first or the second, nc the or
ton of the local bank.
These Regional banks are banks
for the bankers and will not do
business directly with the public
but are institutions thru which
banks may transmuse credit into
currency and are supposed to use
this CURRENCY to help the business
man keep his business gong.

whom were Messrs. W. S. Atkins

The first matter that the Asso-

Is Ole that will appeal to the far
ners, whose interest and co-opera-
tI0n are wanted and needed, if tht
prime object of the Association
are to be accomplished, the de-

time, which movement it is be-
ieyed will do more to develop the
wonderful resources of Natchito-
