BRANCH BANKS
WILL DO SERVICE
State Bank Examiner Hanson
Says Branch Banks Will
Serve Northwest

OLYMPIA, Feb. 9.-Branch banks
at Seattle, Spokane and Portland prob
ably will serve the Pacific northwest
to better advantage than one region
the belief State Bank Examiner w.
+. Hanson expressed in an address
on the new currency law delivered
before the Thurston county branch
of the Washington State Democratic
league at Olympia
Mr.. Hanson expressed the belief
that guarantee of bank deposits is
a reform sure to come soon and eX
pressed a hope that further govern
ment control over banks should be
exercised before this is brought about
Mr. Hanson said among other
things:
"It is not likely that the Pacific
northwest will be supplied with a
Federal Reserve Bank" said Mr.. Han
son. at looks as if the reserve bank
of the Pacific coast will be at San
Francisco. as a regional bank must
have at least $4,OO0,0OO capital and
the national banks of the northwest
could subscribe for little more than
$2,500,0O0. While we do not know
what the rules and regulations under
the act will be, they will be lait
down by the federal reserve boari
in regard to branch banks, member
banks and so forth 1t is reasonable
to expect they will be in perfect har
mony with the act itself, and the Pa
cific northwest, if not supplied will
a regional bank, will perhaps be bet
ter served by having three brancl
hanks. located in Seattle, Portlan'
! and Spokane.
There is no question but that WI
are going to have guarantee of de
posits in the United States within
a few years. The people are demand
ing It and it is sure to come. Befor
we do have a guarantee of deposit:
I would like to see the federal r.
serve act fully tried out and becom
fully operative. We should also hav
government control of banks first.

NEW CAR STEP

Thomas B. Darragh, president of
the company controlling marketing the
patent car step invented by a local
man and which will revOlutionize, 1t
is thought, the building of vestibuled
coaches. next week will interview
General Traffic Manager Calkins OF
the Milwaukee railway system on the
proposition of equiping its coaches
with the step. The new step, at one
movement of lever opens or closes
the vestibule platform, vestibule doors
and simultaneously lowers or folds
the fourth step, which takes the
place of the stool now in use where
platforms are not flush with car steps

CONTROL OF THE MIND

In an interview given the last few
months Andrew Carnegie said: II
thought for great many years that
knew what a self-controlled mind
could do.
Il saw remarkable locomotives, and
more remarkable electrical machines
constructed.
Il have now just witnessed the sue
cessful test of a pair Of scales that are
so perfectly balanced that they can
weigh one -millionth of an ounce of
gold.
That is so small an amount of gold
that a miscrosope would be required
TO see il.
However that is perfect posing of
mechanism, and the mind which de-
signed it must have had balance of
equal or greater power
Great results like this are only OBJ
tainable through minds which are UNI

Control of mind is an attribute to be
acquired by an individual and a major
share Of the acquisition should come
from the persons training in the home

marily with the parent and appalling
as IL may seem recent statistics show
almost conclusively that there are al
this time more than 100000 boys
and girls either government charges
or homeless wanderers.
This extraordinary army Of practi-
cally uncared for undisciplined child
rem is not created by the town, county
or state, but by the parent who does
not or will not know what real home
government is.
The unframed child faces at meal
time, at bed time, schooltime and
churchtime an older mind which is
not i'm control of itself or OF the child.
Ii is a mind swayed with passions
and prejudices; a mind which will not
be guided by the study OF books, by
reading nor have any regard for the
opinion of others.
If we are ever to get at the root of
the problem Of the drifting and neg
lected child we must strike back TO the
unbalanced brain of the parent who
will not grow with the events of the
times.
Dangerous as is the mind of child
who has not been taught TO act and
think with reason, il is not to be COM
pared with the mind of the adult
which is not balanced SO as To judge
properly how child shall be reared
To pure manhood or womanhood with
in the home; how through the home
il may learn TO be master Of the worst
within itself.
The most accurate piece of ma
chinery that was ever devised for fac
tory, steamer or railroad, is not TO be
compared with the workings of bal
anced mind; a mind which recognizes
justice without dispute; which offers
love as heavens tribute; a mind which
knows that the real law of existence
is that of work; a mind which can
