TO OFFER HOMES
.T0l,0O0BELGi|ANS
GOVERNOR HANNA TO MAKE
EFFORTS TO BRING
MANY HERE.
NORTH DAKOTA has ROOM
Will Place Them on Farms and
In Coal Mines; Plan Is
Practicable.
NORTH DAKOTA RAS ROOM

That North Dakota may receive an
indirect benefit from the European
war, now appears very probable. This
comes through the fact that Belgium
is devastated and the people reduced
to want. 1t occurs to those who have
studied the situation that an offer of
free homes in this state might be ac-
ceptable to the Belgians.
One of those who has given consid-
cradle though to this subject, and
who is putting his thoughts into &C
tion, is Governor Hanna, who is about
to offer to take care of 1000 families
from this war stricken country,
through the people Of, North Dakota.
While Governor Hanna has not
completed his plan, it has progressed
for enough to give an idea Of what
he intends to do. He figures that
North Dakota, with it's expansive
prairies, unoccupied, yet fertile land,
should be abundantly able to find To-
cations for at least 1000 families on
farms, and in the western part of the
state to locate some in the coal mines.
This certainly should be easy when
it is considered that North Dakota is
equal to seven Belgiuns in area.
- Governor Will Take II Up.
1t is the intention of the governor
to communicate with the commercial
clubs, church societies and farmers
societies with a view to locating these
people. It is hoped that arrange
ments can be made to colonize them,
or at least to have several families
located in one community in order
that they may not suffer of lonesome
ness, and that they may be of assist
ance to one another.
Thousands of these poor people
have had their homes destroyed, their
horses, cattle, and all stock killed or
stolen, and even their famring tools
and machinery carried off. They are
helpless and it would take generations
for them to get another start and to
became as comfortable as they were
before the war came upon them to
reduce them to want. It certainly
seems that with the freedom which
this country offers and the excellent

very low cost, either by purchase or
rent; lands which are fertile and
which only need diligent work, a trait
which has made the Belgians noted
these people should find this a haven
of refuge which should not only make
them happy but prosperous.
Would Benefit State.
Mr.. Hanna's plan is a feasible one,
and through it should come not only
relief to the homeless Belgians, but
they in turn would prove excellent
citizens through their industry, econ
omy and anxiety to gain new start
in life. i
Mr.. Hanna has received encourage
ment for his plan from all to whom
he has mentioned it, and the pros
poets are that within q few months
North Dakota will be the home Of a
number of Belgian families. AS most
of these families are large ones, the
movement would have tendency to
increase the population of the state
by several thousand.

opening today of the twelve Federal
Reserve banks, the nation will begin
actual operation Of its new currency
SYSTEM designed to provide an elastic
circulation medium based upon mod
ern ideas of finance and economics.
It has taken the Reserve Bank Or
ganization Committee and the Federal
Reserve Board almost twelve months
to work out details of organization to
the point where an opening date was
chosen. Notwithstanding careful de-
liberations which preceded every pre-
liminary step, the twelve banks will
not for many weeks take up and eXer-
else all the functions bestowed upon
them by Congress. Such evolution as
will result from the old national bank
ing system Of necessity will in most
respects he SLOW The Reserve Board,
the guiding spirit of, the new system,
is itself feeling its way over strange
ground and the men in charge of the
twelve banks probably will feel the
same desire to work slowly and with
sureness rather than be venturesome
Elasticity Currency.
The new system is generally con-
ceded to be a compromise between a
central bank and the present system
with it's thousands of units, scattered
reserves and fixed limits of currency.
Its chief attraction and value, those
who interpret 1t find in the elasticity
it will give to recognized paper cur
rency. Under the present law nation
al bank currency is almost fixed
quantity based upon nationa bank
capital, issued upon United States
bonds and unresponsive to the chill
of hard times or the eXultation OF
boom days. Its use led, the experts
say, to unrestricted loans and specu-
lation, in the days when money was
easy and to a boarding of resources
and a Tightening of the purse strings
Of credit when they were hard. 1t is
said to have bred the panic of 1907
when solvent banks with large cred
it's in reserve, and central reserve
cities, were helpless and could get
back to their own counters none OF,
the millions they had placed with
their larger and stronger correspond
ents.
Under the new system the federal
reserve notes, which, in time, probably
will entirely replace the national
bank notes, now so familiar, will be
issued upon commercial paper arising
out Of actual business transactions.
1t seems plain that they will rise and
fall in amount as the tides of busi-
ness rise and fall, and that there. will
be no plethora Of money to lie idle.
They will be obligations of the United
States government, which national
bank notes are not, and will have
back OF them large reserve of gold
in the regional banks. Through them
the reserve banks are expected to
come to the aid of any needy member
bank which has plenty Of good paper
but needs cash. To further insure
the flow of money, Reserve banks
themselves may be required to redis-
count the discounted paper of other
reserve banks.
New Notes Ordered.
More than $25OO00,O00 of the new
notes have been ordered by the
Comptroller of the Currency for the
twelve banks. They are in 81, $40,
$40, $50 and $100 denominations, and
are to be accepted by all member
banks and for all customs taxes or.
other dues. The Federal Reserve
