SEES HIDDEN DANGER
IN RESERVE SYSTEM
Too Much Power Rests In Hands
of Secretary of Treasury,
Says 9. G.. Dawes.

Chicago. Jan. s.-That the fedora.
reserve bank law invests too vast a
power in the hands Of one man.. the
secretary OF the treasury. and thus
presents an element Of danger which
should be dealt with by congress, was
the assertion made here today by
Charles G. Dawes, former comptroller
of the currency, at a special meeting
of Chicago financiers and business
men.
The speaker said that the utility Of
the reserve bank system in an emer-
gency rests ultimately with the secre-
tary of the treasury alone.
The federal reserve banks" said
Dawes, are great credit creating de-
vices, using as a foundation money
belonging to other banks and already
in use by them as a foundation for
existing credits. They have not as
yet, to any extent, expanded their
credits, but If they did and then for
some reason were compelled suddenly
10 contract them, business disaster
must ensue.
THE liquidation Of the second bank
of the United States, which resulted
In the panic Of 1887, is a. historical IL
lustration of this fact. The federal
reserve law as it stands at present
contains such provisions as are certain
TO involve 1t in political attack similar
to that waged by Andrew Jackson
against the second bank of the United
States; and now is the time, before the
reserve banks have issued large cred
Cts upon whose existence the prosper
ity of the country will become Deepen
dent, to criticise and amend the law"
The speaker declared that develop
ments might arise by which IAN An
drew Jackson OF the future will again
lay PROSTATE tie commercial edifice of
a great nation"

HAIL INSURANCE
. BY STATE URGED
Proposed Bill Would Guard
Against Losses That Have
Reached High Figures
In the Past.
Pierre. s. o.. January 9. 1915.


In bill to be introduced by Repre-
sentative II. G. Solem, OF Minnehaha
county, South Dakota viii be asked to
make an experiment in conducting in
surance against losses by hail. The sys.
TEN has not been completely outlined,
but will include number OF optional
and protective features. In the first
place a majority OF the voters in any
township must give consent before such
township can be brought into the plan.
Further, an individual farmer can
stay out, even where the township has
acted favorably, by filing the requisite
statement. 1t is proposed to fix per,
cent on the miXimum benefit allowance
as the assessment fee. with provision
to reduce the annual assessment after
a specified reserve has been created.
The maximum benefit allowance for
losses on grain crops is fixed at IS an
acre, with payment only of actual losses
incurred where it falls below that
amount On this basis those under thj
benefits of the plan would pay 20 cent?
an acre as assessments, and would b
protected on hail losses up to IS an
acre. Mr.. Solem feels certain that thiA
4 per cent assessment would rapidly
create a substantial surplus fund, as a
protection against any year of heavy
losses, and that the regular annual as
sessments soon would be reduced to
very low figure.
While the annual hail losses in South
Dakota are not extensive they are
enough to make the subject of reason
able cost protection one of interest to
nearly every farmer in the state. AS
the case now stands this protection
must be secured from old line compa-
niles at exorbitant prices, or taken with
concerns which are sure to collect the
assessments, but not very sure about
paying losses.
Judges Dislike Receipts.
Circuit court Judges of South Dakota
probably will ask modification of the
law to permit them to collect their ex-
pense allowances, $500 legal maximum,
on ordinary itemized and sworn state
ments of disbursements, privilege now
enjoyed only by the governor and men,
bers Of the supreme court. All other
state officials, including circuit judges,
must file the original receipt OF each
disbursement in order to get recon-
pensed even though IL be only for bus
fare.
The circuit court judges contend that
II is destructive of their poise and dig
nifty to be compelled to exact a formal
receipt for each petty payment for
meals, lodging and other necessary eS-
penses while engaged in their official
duties. They are willing to have the
$500 expense limit retained and they
are willing to have disbursements con-
fined to official business, as at present,
but they most earnestly desire to be
able to collect their expenses on sworn,
ItemiZed statements, minus the per-
Bonal receipts now required. Circuit
court judges receive a salary of $4,000
n year, with an allowance for official
expenses not to exceed $500 a year. 49,.

BONDSMEN PARTIES

Suit Brought to Recover $30,"
600 of Interest-Demands
Amount of Bond.

Hudson, S. D., Jan. IL - Pa
pers in case instituted by
the state authorities to recover
interest money alleged to- have
been converted to his own use by
Charles II. Cassill former state treas
ures have been served on prominent
residents of Hudson. who were bonds
men for Cassill
This and similar suits for the recov-
cry or interest on state funds haXe been
threatened since a committee nvesti-
gated the matter OF state funds and
state interest and made report a
year or more ago. The papers in the,
case which has just been institute2
against the former state treasurer and
his bondsmen were prepared by Attor7
ney General Johnson before he re;
tired from office and the first of the
year, and 1t is expected his successor
will prosecute the suit with vigor.
The amount involved in the action Is
about $4,000. this estimate being based
on the fact that CassilPs successor as
state treasurer during the first two
years Of his term turned into the state
treasury interest on public funds to the
aggregate OF about $685. 900. -,
The papers just served by Sheriff
Kundert on the bondsmen OF the form

son, ask for the recovery of the entire
amount of CassiiIs bond, which was
for $500000 with accrued interest and
cost amounting to about $4,000 addi-
tional =
The bondsman have 80 days in which
to file their answer.
Every state treasurer up to Mr.. CasJ
sill's time had appropriated interest on
state funds to their own use. Follow
ing the charge being made that Mr..
Cassill was following the same prac'
tice and retaining the interest on pub
acted a law requiring that such inter-
est be placed in the state treasury to
the credit of the state, and this has
been done since that time.
