The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1915-11-12
BY David Powell

Ex-President Roosevelt, addressing
gathering of leading manufacturers
few years ago, said:
THE vitality of America does not
lie in New York, nor in Chicago, nor
in any other large city, no matter
what its wealth or resources; it will
not be sapped by anything that hap
pens in St. Louis; neither will it be
affected by a Galveston food or a
San Francisco earthquake. The vital
ity of America lies in the brains, the
energies and enterprise of the people
throughout the land. There dwells
the vital forces that are destined to
make this the grandest country in
Christendom. There is the wealth
of America, and If America discour-
ages locality-the communicable
self contained town-she will kill the
nation"
The Colonel was right. Unques-
tionably So as far as he goes.
But community prosperity means
even more than that. 1t is of even
greater importance to US individually
than It is nationally.
Have you ever given serious con-
sideration as to what it personally
means to you? Has it ever occurred
to you how indissolubly your own
fortunes are bound up with those Of
your community?
Influences Land Values
1t is very probable that the person
who sends his money away from
home does not stop to consider what
effect his action may have upon the
business conditions of his community
and indirectly upon his own fortunes.
1t is a fact plainly evident and
demonstrated by the ex-
perience of any number of communi-
ties throughout the land, that not

E. |. SHARES STILL ACTIVE
But There Is No Explanation
for Big Rise in Stock.

Continued activity in the shares Of
the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific
Railway Company yesterday brought
forth no official explanation of the rise
which has carried the stock within the
last two days from 1919 to 3l@s. In
Yesterdays trading Rock Island was
the leader with more than 73,OOO
shares dealt in, and the net advance
was 5's points, against 81? points on
Monday. The company's debenture .
per cent bonds and the refundlng as
we're also active, showing gains OF
about points for each issue.
REPORTS Of a contest for control OF
the stock for the forthcoming annual
meeting were recurrent, but no one IN
authority offered any information on
this subject. Explaining why the man
agement issued a call for proxies for
the annual meeting. President Nudge
was quoted as saying:
at has always been the practice OF
the management 10 send out proxy
blanks to stockholders. This year, with
the Sheldon committee already IN the
field, we were in some doubt as 10
whether the management should call
for proxies. We received, however a
number Of requests from stockholders
TO act for them. Neither the Sheldon
nor the Amster committee, ! believe,
has as vet claimed 10 hold proxies for
a majority Of the stock. II seems pos
sible the management may hold the
balance Of power between the two COM

PLEDGES FAIRNESS
TO STATE BANKS
Paul M. Warburg Declares Re-
serve Board Does Not Want
TO NatiOnalize Them.

Washington, March 30.-To explain
the attitude Of the Federal Reserve
Board toward state banks and trust
companies, Paul NJ. Warburg issued to-
day "A statement declaring it was not
the policy Of the board TO nationalize
state institutions.
In dealing with the question OF the
admission OF state banks and trust
companies the Reserve Board has met
with perpIexing difficulties due 10 the
powers granted institutions OF TINS
character. Some time ago resolutions
were adopted by the board urging the
adoption Of uniform laws by the states.
TO correct any misunderstandlng tha'
might have arisen through mlscon
struction Of this resolution, Mr.. war
burg issued his statement.
II have no reason TO think" says MI
Warburg, that there is any desire on
the part of the board to 'natlonalize
state banks. On the contrary, the wlsn
appears to be general to deal with the
state banks and trust companies as
literally as possible, so as TO enaoie
them to join the system. II IS thls
thought and hope that was intended
by the preamble of the resolution
"But it is clear that, in order 70
carry out this policy, fairness to the
national banks demands that they
should be treated with equal liberal .
ity and that the board should %ish
them to receive to the largest MS
sble degree the powers conferred upon
them by tho act.
"The problem would not be difficult
if the trust companies had not invaded
the field Of commercial banking. But,
inasmuch as they have done so, and
intend to remain there-a question IN
which the states only have the power
to regulate while the act has placed
upon the Federal Reserve Board the
duty Of providing a basis for the nd
mission into the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN Of these state institutions, the
board can only follow one policy that
is, one Of being fair and liberal IN
dealing with both the national and
state Institutions. That this task is
difficult nobody will deny. 1t must be
dealt with in a broad spirit, not only
by the board. but equally so by the
banks and trust companies

new FRENCH LOAN
TO YIELD l-2P.C.
Will Be Payable at Matur-
ity Either in New York
or in Paris.

Arrangements for a public Offering
I'm this country OF French government
treasury bonds were formally copclud-
ed yesterday by the banking syndicate
headed by J. T. Morgan & Co. Associ-
ated with this firm in the underwrit-
ing of the loan are the National City
Bank and the First National Bank. II
was stated that the amount had not yet
been determined, but IL is understood
that the figure tentatively agreed upon
will not exceed S50000000, the pro
ceeds from the sale Of the bonds TO be
used 10 pay for goods bought IN the
United States.
The French treasury bonds, as stated
in yesterdays Tribune. Will run for one
wear and bear interest at the rate OF
3 per cent, but at the price at which
they arc to be offered 10 the public,
99ie, they will yield 5'2 per cent. An
interesting feature of the Offering plan
is that the principal and interest arc
payable either in New York in dollars
or in Paris at the rate Of 5.lSis francs
20 the dollar
Should there be any depreciation in
the purchasing value o. the franc at
the maturity Of the bonds, il was point
ed out, this arrangement would insure
the American investor against loss.
The official announcement made at the
Offices Of J. 2. Morgan & Co. yesterday
follows:
"Messers. :. p. Morgan G Co. state
that they, the National City Bank ana
the First National Bank have concluded
arrangements with the French govern
ment under which they will shortly
make an offering 90 American investors
Of one-y year 5 per cent French treasury
bonds.
"Tbe bonds will he dated April I and
will mature on April !. 1915; interest
coupons payable sem!-annually. The
bonds will be offered 10 the investor
st qoik and interest. and, at the option
Of the holder, are payable. both as TO
principal and interest. i'm New York IN
dollars or in Paris az the rate OF 5l8ls
francs. The proceeds Of these bonds
will he used for the purpose OF paying
for Frances purchases in TINS coun-
try"
This means that no gold will leave
the United States in payment Tor the
bonds, and. on the other hand, elm
mates the necessity for the time beng
Of France shipping the precious metal
here 20 pay for goods bought. The re
cent decline IN franc exchange was the
main incentive which made the present
financing necessary.
No definite Arrangement has yet been
made with Great Britain 70 finance her
purchases IN the United States, but 1t
is understood that IN the negotiations
thus far an amount even larger than
the loan TO France is being considered.
!. P. Morgan. who is i'm London, Is act
ing for the American bankers, and no
offering Of the loan here Is expected
until he has concluded his negotiations
with the British government
