New Federal Reserve Banks
Are Able to Cope With
Great Emergencies.
MUST BE REGULATED
System as Yet Not Sufficient
ly Perfected-Now Expe-
riencing Expansion.

Chicago. Nov 27.-Praise for the
federal reserve banks and the effect
they have had on the finances Of the
nation was voiced today before the
conference of the Western Economic
society by Edmund D, Hubert. Chi
cago banker, who reviewed present
financial conditions.
Mr.. Hubert said that no one famil-
lar with the facts could doubt that
had the federal reserve banks been in
operation in August, 1914. as they are
today, there would have been no sus-
pension of payments in this country.
Violent contractions in money and
credit are always followed by periods
Of expansion which, if unchecked, lead
almost certainly to another crisis,
said Mr.. Hubert. We are now pass
ing through just such 4 period of ex-
pansion. The function Of the federal
board to contract credits in q period Of
oyer-expansion is just as important as
is its JUNCTION to expand credits in a
time of excessive contractions.
Action Difficult to Check.
THE farther the pendulum is al
lowed to swing in one direction the
more difficult it will be TO check when
it starts the other way, and, as the
present tendency TO expansion is be-
yond the control of the federal reserve
board, it is quite possible that a tend
ency 10 contraction may eventually fol-
low which viii also be beyond control.
although the machinery Of the federal
reserve banks is much better designed
to cope with conditions of contraction
than with conditions Of expansion.
What We want is to get the country
accustomed to having the brakes put
on at both ends, so that fluctuations
Of rates shall be confined to narrower
limits. The financial safety of the
country depends on this. Most Of the
financial crises we have had are trace
able to over-expansion Of credits
caused by a long period of low inter
est rates"
The speaker declared that fears that
the federal reserve banking act would
idecentralize banks and materially re-
duce the deposits of country banks in
metropolitan vaults. had not been real
lied, and that there had been an actual
increase of about forty per cent in
such country deposits in city banks
since the law went into effect.
Now Beyond Control.
Referring again to the present per-
iod Of expansion Mr. Hubert said;
ION account Of the comparatively
small amount Of federal reserve notes
in circulation, the present situation is
entirely beyond the control of the fed
eral board. but there are some things it
could do. such as forcing the retire
ment of the federal reserve notes that
have been issued amounting now to
about $155, 1000 600, and raising the Of
fetal rate of the federal reserve bank
as a warning,
Professor H. ]. Davenport Of the
University of Missouri held that the
chief danger from the European war,
10 American resources was not in the
inevitable weakening of the economic
resources of the warning nations,
though in the long run that would be a
serious matter; but that much more
serious and more prompt in effect
would be the methods of war finance
general in Europe.

KUPIHEA TO GET HOUSE
CENSURE BUT NOT MUCH
CHANCE OF EXPULSION?

Members of the house OF represen
tatiyes and local attorneys have
agreed that under the provisions OF
the Organic Act the legislature is re,
strained from expelling Representa-,
tive Kupihea on grounds of immoral,
indecent or disorderly conduct or neg.
lect in the guarding of the morals OF
HIS young daughter, Eve, and his
niece.
The Organic Act provides that the
house can expel members for treason
felony, upon conviction; or for a
breach OF the peace or for neglect CT
duty as a member OF the house or for
iisorderly conduct in the house. AS
Kupihea has not been convicted on
any charge and as his conduct in the
legislature warrants no sufficient
grounds for action, the members hold
that nothing can be done further than
to eensure him. 1..'r
One leading member said today that
the house by its adoption of the report
will censure Kupihea and that ii
should be so understood. He doubts
IL the house Otherwise can act against
the lone Democratic member, who is
