The Guaranty Trust Company OF New

hanks to become members of the new
monetary system.
The regional bank of district NO. :
has planned to begin the collection OF
all checks and drafts between pahNs

have to pay fee for collection. Wouio
he a distinct advantage for the 1oriner.
and that this might eventually drive
state banks into the federal reserve
system. this at least. is the nope OF
the reserve board.
To Offset the possible loss of busl-

In i,Ired the latter seriously by allowing
national banks to perform thelr iuhc-
lions. and this protest has been so
General that the question Is 70 ne taken
to the highest court of the land
The action of the Guaranty Trust
company is therefore welcomed by OH
s.lals of other companies in the same
line. and the belief is expressed that
its example is likely to be followed IN
other states also. in general etort
to control q least share of the pal

TO make on the new movement by the
Guaranty Trust Company:
The Guaranty Trust Company. by al
lowing per cent interest on balances. in

touched 4 weak spot in the upstate bank
ers' point of view. The trust company

Basis of Prohibition Movement.

Brooklyn Eagle: One of the most
striking evidences of the gain of pro-
hibition sentiment is the declaration
Of the Retail Liquor Dealers associa-
ton of New York, which has ended
its convention at Utica, that "there
are too many saloons Ia the country,
and some of the Objectionable ones
should be abolished" The dealers
also asked for restrictions on dance
halls and cabarets, opposed the
''control of license certificates by
others than American citizens of ap-
proved moral character" and declared
that sheer should be of uniform
purity, and not as 1t Is sold in some
of the cheaper DISTRICTS" and that
''liquor should contain no drugs or
chemicals
II the liquor dealers had taken this
restrictive and self-protectIve action
earlier they would not now feel the
opposition which is driving them TO
this stand. A large part Of the
present prohibition movement Is not
based upon any desire to enforce total
