Eastern Bankers ReSfiue
Under Federal Reserve Act

make money II their directors de-
eral reserve banks all have tremen-
dous sums at their disposal and as
their capital stock Is very small
they can easily cover their running
expenses and show small profit by
merely investing their deposits in
municipal bonds. which they are
authorized by law to do. Their pur-
pose in the theory of the law In any
case Is not TO make big profits, but
TO be a reserve. Their stockholders
are the member banks themselves
aud these banks make the profit
while the reserve banks serve as .
vault In which accumulated reserves
may safely be kept. to be used for
the benefit Of the stock-holdinE
banks when occasion may arise. To
demand that such banks make
money Is like a banker expecting .
dividend from his vault.
There has been talk of reducing
the number Of reserve banks from
IL to eight. There IL no necessity
for legislation to do this as the pres
emit law leaves this discretionary
with the federal reserve board. II
is believed that opposition to the
reserve system is confined to bank
ers rather than to the business
world, which looks with favor on
the idea of a monetary and banking
system which has fortified against
panics.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.--Opposi-
ton to the federal reserve banking
system may find its expression in
congress this winter. There Is al
ready talk OF legislation which the
federal reserve officials say would
cripple the system. namely an act
to relieve the national bankers from
their liability under the federal re-
serve law requirement to deposit re-
serves In the federal reserve banks
rather than In certain city banks
which enjoyed them previous to the
passage Of the federal reserve act.
II Is not generally known that
the reserve law Ia not yet fully OPP
erative. A provision In the act de-
ferred the transfer OF reserves three
years This long period was urged
in order that no shock might be felt
by the business world on account OF
the withdrawal OF large sums from
city banks to federal reserve banks
The law requires that these depos-
Its be made In four installments COW
ering the three-year period. Two of
these installments will have been
completed on Nov. Is. Now II Is
suggested that congress will be ask
ed to relieve the banks from max
ing the other two deposits.
The reason Is clear. Under the
old law the banker was permitted
to deposit q large part OF his re
serve" in q bank In q reserve city.
This bank In turn was permitted TO
deposit q large share Of this reserve
with New York reserve bank. The
result was that money, supposed 10
be on deposit with the country bank

ed largely 10 cure this evil and
while the big city banks have seem
ed to acquiesce and have found GER
tain features OF the law satisfac-
tory. they naturally are not happy
at the thought OF letting go this
money which for years has flowed In
from the country banks and in their
hands has made them huge profits.
At the moIey trust hearing one OF
the big New York bankers testified
under oath that his banks profits
from these tources had been as high
as 800 and 1000 per cent on the
banks capital stock.
One complaint made now Is that
some Of the federal reserve banks
are losing money. This is not true
unless possibly In the case OF one
bank, and II is claimed that any Of

that two hours after leaving his cham

of wiping his pen on them and Of

pen against the edge of table, and Of

An Elephant Bridue,

In ancient times in India famous
general used elephants to bridge q
stream. He possessed a battalion of
over 500 elephants, and. approaching
river where the stream was too rapid
for his troops to cross, he ordered the
elephants in and had them placed side
by side, facing up and down the
stream. Then planks were brought
and laid from the back Of one elephant
to that of another, and over them the
troops passed in safety, the only trou-
bic experienced being the showers Of
water which the elephants kept up by
sucking up the refreshing liquid In
their trunks and tossing it over their

take either of them long to get

perfectly natural thing to do,
sold out and returned to their
first love. In striking contrast
with the satisfaction shown
by these gentlemen, The True
Northerner could name hundreds
of people wac have purchased
farms in the Fruit Belt, who are
perfectly satisfied, and point to
it as the Garden Spot of the
Earth. 1t is with farming as
with everything else. One must
have some experience in the busi-
ness to be successful. 1t is sell
dom that man who has worked
in an office all his life, or who
has been a master plumber, can
settle down contentedly on fruit

IN a few months. 1t is like try

round hole. 1t simply can't be
done without first making the
peg all over.
Mr.. Kroll and Mr.. Wier are

Here's hoping that they are both

get their full share of the milk
