Scoring Better Than Weather
In First Days Open Golf
on Fox Hills Links.

All kinds Of weather and all kinds Of

Metropolitan open championship. played

was Just the other way with the scores.
The general average OF scoring was ex-

field at the end Of the day, Walter e.

been considered good on a fair day. but
which was even better on such a day as
yesterday proved to be.

A BIG TRIBUTE
Elk.

Sixty millions of dollars annually is
the tribute which the purchasing pub
lie of the City of New York pays to
dishonest tradesmen. Despite the eff
forts of the State Department of
Weights and Measures and Of the
Board of Weights and Measures of
that city, experts have testified that
this sum is pocketed each year by
~violators of the net container law. The
law as originally planned put the pen
atty in the hands Of the District At
torney, but compromise put it in the
attorney generals office. Now that
the attention of the public has been
called to existing conditions, it is be-
lieved that more stringent measures
will be taken to prevent the public
from being robbed of such an enor-
nous sum Observation-Disclosures Her

RURAL CREDITS

(By II. L. Loucks. Watertown. S. D.
Rural credits is now at the front as
a national issue. In discussing it we
should lay down certain fundamental
principles towards which our efforts
should be directed. If they are sound;
by keeping them to the front we es-
tablish a safe base, and can accept
of any measure that leads in our direc-
ton.
Our medium of exchange, whether of
metal or paper, is a public utility,
created and issued by our Federal
Government for public use. No in
dividual, combination Of individuals,
corporation or state can legally make
or issue money, and none should be
permitted to ~monOpoliZe it. 1t is by
far the most important public utility
of any civilized nation or people.
1t should be administered in the in
terest Of, and be readily accepted by
all of the citizens of the sovereign
creating it, and be a full legal tender
for all debts public and private.
Like all public utilities, municipal,
state or national, it should be admin
istered without special favor, and with
out private profit as is our Medium for
the exchange of intelligence, the post
office system.
Money like any other commodity
when uncontrolled is subject to the
law of supply and demand. When
controlled by private interests it be-
comes the greatest of all monopolies.
An essential function should be
stability. 1t is impossible to have a
stable currency based on any single
commodity, and more especially a
metal depending wholly upon the
chance of discovery.
The present currency law in recog-
nizing the fact that money based on
value is just as good as money stamp
ed on value, and much more conven-
lent, has taken a long step forward to-
wards the scientific solution of the
money problem.
The authors and advocates of the
Aldrich currency bill, and the present
currency law, succeeded in their edu-
cational campaign in proving that
money is not necessary for the trans
action of our business. That all We
need is credit and a check book, which
in the main is true.
For the exceptions Federal Reserve
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1915-07-01

Bank notes and minor coins will do.
The Aldrich currency bill provided for
the gradual retirement of all of our
present currency from general circula-
the Owen-Glass law. Whatever
power is lacking in the law itself has
been conferred on the Federal Reserve
board, and retirement is rapidly pro-
crossing. Our medium will soon be
Federal Reserve Bank notes.
In Europe and Australia also agricul-
ture is given special favors by the
several governments, and secures the
use Of money for less than does com
merce and industry. Here we pay on
an average two to two and a half
times as much. We do not ask for
any special favor for agriculture.
All we ask is to be placed on an
equal footing with commerce and in
dustry and should not be satisfied with
less.
The amount to be provided should
be governed wholly by the law of sup
ply and demand for use and should
respond to that demand automatically.
The p%er-capita basis belongs to the
past. We are no longer exchanging in
dividuals, but labor and the products
of labor.
The control of this public utility in
the past by one class of non-producers,
whose sole aim was private profit, has
resulted dis~astrously for both pro-
Queer and consumer, and in the un-
~parallelled concentration of wealth in
the hands of a few.
Under our present system the cur
rency will be issued by the Federal
Reserve Banks and loaned on CONNER
cial paper. These backed by the
credit and taxing power of the nation
will be the very best currency ever
issued by any nation.
Why limit that loan and endorse
ment to commercial paper?
Investment paper secured by farm
land, or stable farm products in store
should be and is better security. Lead
ing Chicago bankers say that they
prefer to loan their money on wheat
in store than on government bonds.
1t is the best security known to in
vestors.
The Federal Reserve Bank notes are
now issued without interest to the Re-
serve Banks by the Federal Govern
ment. The only charge being the &C
tual expense incurred (less than one
tenth Of one per cent. In other
words at cost. (Sec. 10.) For a pub
lie utility that principle is sound, but
indefensible when granted to a pri-
vate business for profit as at present.
The medium of exchange should be
issued at cost by the Federal unit to
every industry on exactly the same

SOM e NAM ES

That Iowa is a farming state is re
fiected in the names of many of the
streams that flow through it. First
there is a farm creek, so that Farm.
ers' creek is not out of place. Then
there is Chicken creek, a Duck creek,
a Goose creed, and a number of Tur-
key creeks, as well as Pigeon creek.
There are Fox, Hawk, and Rat creeks
to devour the domestic animals, and
some Crow creeks, while there is also
a Fly creek and Mosquito creek to
worry the summer bOarders. Milk
and Cold Water creeks are present,
likewise a Hog run and a Mud creek,
so that Bacon creek is not strange.
1t is fitting that with a Bee creek and
a Bee branch that there should also
be a Honey creek. There are a couple
Of Cherry creeks, a Crabapple creek
and plenty of Plum creeks, and for
wild animals there are Bear, Beaver,
Buck, Crane, Deer, Doe, Elk, Otter,
Panther, Raccoon, Skunk, AMI Wolf
creeks. With a Keg creek there is a
Whiskey creek and a Whiskey run.
Finally, there is a Purgatory creek

of n per cent. All over the actual
expense to also go into a reserve fund
for protection.
Fourth:-The state authority if sat
isfied would then endorse and send to
the Federal investment Bank as the
asset on which to loan the bank notes.
For this the state should also receive
n half Of one per cent, and likewise
place all over the expense incurred in
a reserve fund for protection against
any possible loss. The security then
would be better than a state bond.
Fifth:-The Federal Investment
Bank should receive one half OF one
per cent, and all over the expense be
set apart as a reserve fund for protec-
ton. This would make a total inter
est of 20. A conservative estimate
of the expense with the experience of
Europe and Australia as a guide
would be not more than Ia. The Re
serve funds would not be private pro-
fit but would belong to the public.
There is nothing new in this method
as to Nos. /, 2, 3 and 4. They are now
and have been for many years in sue
cessful operation in this and other
countries. No. 5 is a duplicate of our
Federal Reserve Bank law, which cur
financial experts claim to be the most
perfect financial law ever enacted,
with the exception that We provide for
one half of n per cent interest to
the Federal Treasury as a prospective
reserve fund, and the Federal Reserve
Banks pay no interest.
Where would the Federal Govern
ment get the money? Just where they
get the Federal Reserve Bank Notes.
| am o asking for money; just
Federal Investment Bank Notes, and |
am in favor of eliminating any pro-
vision for gold redemption. But would
make them a full legal tender for all
debts public and private, without any
exception clause. They are not intend
ed to be for use in, and good in
Europe" but for home use.
A United States Bank Note, proper
ly secured by the borrower, endorsed
by county, state and nation, with the
taxing power of each back of it, should
be good enough for any American citi-
zen, and would be even better than
the Federal Reserve Bank notes.
0) To sum up:-It will eliminate
private profit from our public utility
in accord with the best modern econ
omic thought.
(2) 1t will provide a medium Of ex-

terms as to security, expense and in
terest.
The advocates of Rural Credit
should take the broader view; accept
the principles of the present law, and
insist on its extension so as to provide
for equal opportunity for all, the labor
er, mechanic, professional and bust
ness men and women as well as the
farmer. Encourage every citizen to
become a producer and home owner
by giving them a chance.
A nation of prosperous home owners
should be our goal.
All those who are directly or indi-
rectly interested in agricultural de-
velopment and production, as well as
those interested in the price of farm
products and home ownership should
demand and insist on a separate in
vestment system for long time loans
mere fraction of the expense Of the
commercial system.
The two systems are not antagon-
istic or comprehensive, and have devel-
oped side by side in Europe t o their
mutual advantage.
A Federal Investment Bank
The solution for Rural Credits is the
organization of a Federal Investment
Bank to do for investments just what
the Federal Reserve Bank is supposed
to do for commerce. There need be
no expensive commissions.
If we make use of our present units
of government we can have the maxi
mum of security at the minimum of
expense.
First:-A Federal Investment Bank
authorized to issue Federal Notes for
purposes of production and develop
ment.
Second:-Use the several govern
ments as the second unit.
Third:-Organize a state develop
ment bank, or make use of some de
partment already established, such as
our South Dakota commissioner Of
school and public lands, which has
successfully loaned our school land
funds on farm lands ever since state
hood.
Fourth:-The county commissioners
who now handle our school funds for
the state department, or a similar
county board for other states.
Fifth:-The individual applicant for
a loan.
With each of these units except No,
4, the work will be largely clerical,
and as the loans will be long time
loans the clerical cost will - com
p~aratively small; indeed less than in
any other country where the clerical
work is not done voluntarily.
Now as to security; we will reverse.
First:-The applicant. AS the coun-
ty would have to endorse the note the
applicant would have to satisfy the
county authority as to his personal
character, and the socalled moral risk.
The value Of the property would usual
ly be known to some member of the
board, if not the cost of investigation
would be nominal.
Second:-The County Board. The
clerical work could be done by one of
the present county officials in the
court house. The security being sat.
isfactory, the county would endorse
the note, thus making it as good as a
county bond. For this the county
should receive one half of one per
cent Of the annual interest. All over
the actual expense involved should be
placed in a reserve fund to protect the
county against any possible loss.
Third:-The county would then for
ward to the state Investment Bank or
Department whose duty 1t would be to
pass upon the application, and II ap-
proved pass on to the state. For this
they should also be allowed one half

What are tho advantages and disad-
vantages of the two, three and five
bearing crank shafts2 ls a two bear

to for any length Of timer
The five bearing crank shaft Is not
necessarily better In every respect than
either the three or two bearing shaft
in a four cylinder motor, although It
will be less liable to whip, due to its
rigid mounting. You will find that the
four cylinder, five bearing motor usu-
ally, II not always, has Its cylinders
cast separately, thus making a com
p%aratively long shaft and motor. With
a long shaft the points Of support must
naturally be many to obtain rigidity
and 1t would not de- for a very long
motor to have n two bearing shaft. al
though some have three large supports.
The motor design then plays a big
part in the number Of bearings to sup
port the crank shaft. The small block
motor with a two bearing crank shaft
shows good results and the block and
pair cast motors with three bearing
shafts are also showing up we'll. TAX

In the number Of bearings adds to the
FRACTIONAL loss and to the cost and de-

How may one tell whom the storage
battery is worn out7
A battery may be said to be worn
out through service when the active
material OF the plates has fallen to the
sediment trap ut the bottom OF the
jars. A battery In such a condition
will not take a charge and cannot pos
sibly give service. A battery may be
worn out prematurely by improper
care and un~dercharging, causing the
plates to lose the active material, to
buckle, etc.

Can you give como good and simple
ways Of lining up . transmission7
One good way OF lining up the trans
mission II to take a scriber or stiff
wire with a point on II end and
clamp the other end to the main gear
set shaft. Bring the point Of the
scriber to the real face OF the flywheel
and then adjust the gearcase until the
point barely touches the fywheel In
every position Of rotation. Then place
the point Of the scriber In contact with
the IN face Of the nywheel and ad-
Just the case SO that the point just
touches at every point. This determines
circularity. When this Is done, test
the rear face Of the hywheel again
and so on. until the alignment Is per
feet. While doing this, do not lose
sight OF the necessity for also keeping
the shifting mechanism In line.

Will o please give your opinion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of braking my car
by closing the throttle2

by closing the throttle2
Using the motor as an auxiliary by
closing the throttle Is a very good
scheme, as It saves wear and, I'm some
cases, heating of the brake shoes.
Some people object to the use OF the
motor In this way because 1t imposes
a small strain on the driving mocha
nism. but this Is negligible. A more
powerful braking effect al be obtain
ed by switching Off the ignition and
this is probably more popular than
merely closing the throttle.
