Mr.. Sharp has some strong ideas on the

braska rivers into the Gulf OF Mexico

amount of wealth within their state.
Three elements that must be present
to create heat and power are wood. coal
and oil-none of which Nebraska pos
sesses," he said. But Nebraska has a
fourth element-water power-which the
greatest engineers haze pronounced Of

Statement.

Columbia, Jan. 22.-Gov. Richard

TO HELP Retire CURRENCY.
FEDERAL BOARD TAKES STEPS
TO AID SOUTH.
RediscOunt Rate for Atlanta Already
Reduced and That for Richmond
Soon to Follow.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The federal
reserve board is taking steps to aid
banks # the South in retiring the
$5O,OOO,00O of emergency currency
still outstanding in that section. The
board today lowered the rediscount
rate for the Atlanta reserve bank to
per cent. on maturities up to SO DAYS
and IL per cent. on longer r.atu-
rites. Similar reductions probably
will be made within a few days at
the Richmond and Dallas banks.
Under the Aldrich- -Vreeland act all
emergency currency must be retired
by June 80, when the act itself ex-
pires. Much of the prime CONNER
cial paper in the South is said to be
up as security for emergency cur
rency By lowering rediscount rates
the board hopes to induce SoGthern
banks, which also are members of
currency associations, to retire their
Aldrich-Vreeland notes and replace
them with federal reserve notes.
In statement today the board
says:
There is now plethora of money
in many Of the federal reserve dis
tricts and it seems an inopportune
time for most of the federal reserve
banks to try to force their funds into
use through discount operations in
their own districts. Under the fed
eral reserve system it is possible by
means Of rediscount operations be-
tween federal reserve banks for re-
serve money to flow from districts
where it can not be employed into
those where it can be used to advan-
tage. 1t is therefore practicable for
the Southern federal reserve banks
to discount for their members as lib
orally as may be consistent with pru-
dence, as large Idle reserves carried
in other districts can be employed in
readjusting.
Should conditions arise which
would make it undesirable for fed
cral reserve banks in some districts
to avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty Of investing funds in rediscounts
in other districts, or should it be
advisable for them to discontinue
such operations after engaging in
them, the federal reserve banks in
the borrowing districts can still be
kept in comfortable position as the
secretary Of the treasury has indi-
Gated his willingness to cooperate in
that case by making deposits
