Opinions Of Bankers.

The Guaranty Trust Company Of New
York recently sent out a series of in
terrogatories to large number OF
banks, asking views on the federal re-
serve law. Some 1929 bankers reported
favorable replies, 1888 returned unfa-
vorable replies and 392 were non-com
initial OF 2.635 state banks. 531 were
favorable, 6s5 unfavorable and LASS
There were suggestions that laws
should be enacted to guarantee depos'
its and that the land loaning privilege
should be larger than rs per cent.
Among national banks the favorable
replies outnumbered the unfavorable BY
141. and among state banks the unIa.
vorable showed a majority OF 154, the
total replies being 5.344.
Commenting on the vote. the Bulletin
of the American Institute OF Banking
has this to say editorially:
1.-The federal reserve system is not a
failure, but it is not a success. Those
who look at one side would be inclined
to vote ave, while those who look at
the other would take another view, a
situation which is made more certain
by the 1911 who could not find a pre-
ponderance of either good or bad.
Inc I6QcIdl TcScTs0 SyStShi AAoS o.
complished in some fashion three
things: "a The partial mobilization OF
reserves, (2) a plan Of expanding cur
rency issues through the process of re-
discount and (3) first steps toward the
creation of a bill market.
These are matters Of vast 1mpor-
tance Any Of them developed to meas
urable perfection would probably be
Justification for the act. The fact that
none of them has been brought to per-
fection is captious. criticism except
when advanced against an attempt to
show the act as a perfect product OF
legislative art. Otherwise, the correct
attitude is to hope for further deVel-
opment, both legislative and economic
out of experience.
AT three points the reserve act fails
and fails dismally: ~ 1t does not pro-
vide an elastic currency OF scfentinc
or sound currency; CD it does not hoid
out attractions to membership, and CD
it does not abolish the independent
treasury. The first failure Is obvious
and has been commented on exten-
sively. The second Is debatable as to
reasons but undoubted as to reality:
The third is a simple statement OF
fact and produces a condition which
permits political jugglery and so re-
acts to influence the second assertion.
Politics mixes very badly with any
thing except more politics.
Under no circumstances Is IT sur
prising that the recorded vote is close
or that the non-committl vote Is
large"

CAMPAIGN NOW ON

The campaign for registrations
for the Laymen's Missionary Cor
vention for North Dakota and
Western Minnesota opened most
enthusiastically at Fargo last week
Wednesday, Jan. 5th, with ban
quet and mass meeting of men in
the First Presbyterian church.
The sale of tickets to the banqret
was limited to the registration
committees from the various
churches as to the capacity of the
dining room was limited to 100,
long before the hour for opening
tickets were at a premium.
The mass meeting at 1880 o.
clock was an enthusiastic gath
ering. Chas. v. Vickrey, of New
York, western field secretary OF
the movement, was the principal
speaker. Mr.. F. d. Empcy of Sioux
City, iowa, the new executive Sec
rotary, made a short address, as
did several local speakers.
From present indications it
seems certain that the registra-
ton from Fargo and Moorhead
will reach the 500 to 1000 which
is set by the registration commit
tee.
