banks have retired all but about $780,
900 of the So 100000 emergency cur
rency issued last fall. 1t is probable
that the remaining sum will be retired
within short ime.
This emergency currency came as
special relief to Iowa banks who
were taking care of the situation in
livestock quarantine districts. P. w.
Hall. secretary Of the Iowa Bankers
association, refers to it in his annual
report which he is now sending out
to the members of the association.
Concerning this he says
Early last fall, three months be-
fore the federal reserve banks opened
for business, the National Currency
association Of Iowa was organized for
the purpose of taking advantage of
the privilege of issuing additional cir
culation provided under the Aldrich-
Vreeland act, and emergency cur
rency to the amount of 100000 was
issued to the national banks of the
state. The currency thus secured con-
tributed largely toward relieving the
somewhat stringent financial condition
and came as special relief to those
banks who were taking care of the
situation in the livestock quarantine
districts"
In his report Secretary Hall calls
attention to the banking laws passed
by the recent legislature and declares
that in the long run the measure al
lowing state and savings banks to
join the federal reserve system prob
ably will be considered the most i'm
portant He says that state and saw
ings banks are hoping that the fed
eral reserve act will be so amended
that they may join the system with
out radically changing their methods
of business. He states that bankers
regard the addition to the force OF
state examiners to have been abso-
| rutely necessary inasmuch as nearly
i 200 banks are now under the super
vision Of the auditor OF state and
! heretofore he has had but five exam
| iners in the field.
All Banks Report June 80.
The comptroller Of the currency
will undertake to secure from all the
banks of Iowa, on June 30, informa-
ton as to the business being done.
This will be special report as to the
state and savings banks and regu-
lar report as to the federal banks. It
is probable that the private bankers
will be asked also for information at
that time. 1t appears to be the policy
Of the comptroller's Office to keep q
record as of June 30 each year as to
the entire banking business of the
United States and it Is hoped that a
very complete report can be secured
this year Only the federal banks are
required to report, but others usually
comply readily.

He. CALLS WALKER.
Representative Coolidge Gives Ideas
ON Irrigation Board Action.

Representative Coolidge. who comes
from Smith county. the home Of Dan
Dyer, does not appreciate the attitude
of Bert Walker Of Osborne toward the
irrigation board. walkers statement
last week to the effect that he would
withdraw from the board, or at least
refuse to qualify, aroused a few choice
sentiments in Coolidge's mind.
IF Mr.. Walker is really sincere about
the work Of the board being Of no
benefit to the state and If he really
thinks the board should be abolished"
said Coolidge why didn't he say some
thing about it last summer when he
was running for the office. Mr.. Walker
was a member of the board at the
time. but he made the campaign, with
out taking the public into his conf
deflce az to the poor service which the
board gave for the money"
Coolidge lives in Smith county. the
home Of Dan Dyer. a member Of the
irrigation board.
