BY J. &. Hemphill.

WASHINGTON, May %. - Some
people do not know when they are
well-off. There is ViVe Pres't Rey-
nolds Of the Continental and Com
mercial bank Of Chicago, who adj
mits that the federal reserve sys-
TEN has stabilized conditions and
"averted ali possibility Of panics;"
but protests that commercial banks
such as his are suffering because il
has injected "a vast amount Of idle
credit at time when we did not
need il or want it." in consequence
Of which commercial banks such
as ours have had difficulty in max
ing much more than dividends.
That's too bad. Of course; but
what does Mr. Reynolds want?
Most business men and investors
are satisfied with dividends. The
New York World is distressed
about Reynolds; everybody ought
&c be; Just as everybody ought to be
about the undone condition of the
New York banks. The National
City bank last year made only 24.1
PEI cent: the Chatham bank had 10
be satisfied with 37.3 per cent. the
Liberty ban ksomehow pulled
through with 626 per cent and the
First National bank closed the year
with measly 716 per cent. The
federal reserve banks only earned
on an average 21.4 per cent, which
was less than half the dividend de-
clared by the First National. but
the federal reserve banks were es-
tablished not 10 do a smashing
business but to divide and save and
not TO ruin the people who need
What the financial genius of Chi
cago calls idle credit"
What the Banks Earn.
The savings banks of New York
and the Bronx pay from 312 to
per cent on their deposits; the saw
ings banks of Brooklyn and Queens
county. with one exception. pay 4
per cent. The national banks of
New York now hold deposits
amounting to about $4,000, coo, 900.
The people who operate with this
money make from "a to II per
cent. 1t would look as if they
ought to be satisfied with that, and
they doubtless are.
The farmers, for example, who
can borrow money pay on the av-
erage. 7.79 per cent; the people
who lend them this money make
from "a to Il per cent. The rate
OF interest allowed by law runs
from 3 TO per cent in the differ
ent states and by special contract
from to - per cent. In three
states the legal rate of interest is
per cent; in 33 states. 6 per cent;
in seven states. Z per cent; In eight
states. per cent. In six states the
rate Of interest by special contract
is unlimited, the bride is taken off
the usurers. and, strange TO say.
these six states are regarded as
among the most prosperous in the
Union. 1t is worthy Of note. how
ever. that In these states the big
borrowers are in the main confined
10 those engaged In large manufac-
turing. not to say speculative, en-
terprises: but the federal reserve
system was designed for the public
benefit and not especially for the
promotion Of individual gains. And
in spite Of the new system of bank
ing the banks are prosperous as
they never prospered before.

Times. which is not given to exag-

Federal Reserve System and

geration. the 10 largest national
banks In that city now have gross
deposits in excess of $500, 000,090.
and total resources OF about
50. 500. 600, 900. "A measure OF the
gain made in recent years is fur
nished by the fact that the total re-
sources OF these 10 banks today are
greater than the resources of all
the national banks in the state OF
New York were as recently as 1910.
The growth may be visualized in
another direction when il is pointed
out that the resources OF these 10
banks are now practically equal in
amount TO the total loans Of all the
national banks in the United States
in 1900"
Hear this, also. from the Times
as a sufficient answer 10 the 'suf-
fering" Of the Reynolds bank in
Chicago: THE credit facilities Of
the national banks were vastly aug
mented by the establishment Of the
federal reserve bank system and
this: "The operation of the federal
reserve bank system, instead OF in
any way impairing the premiership
of New York as the banking center
Of the United States, has made it
easier for New York 10 assume for
the time being at least the position
of the banking center OF the world.
Conditions All Favorable.
This is not all. The crop out
look is favorable. The tendency of
cotton fabrics is generally to high
er levels: the exports of hosiery and
knit goods have reached record
figures and show signs of contin-
ued increase; the production OF
American dye stUffs is steadily in
creasing; the prices of wool are ad-
vancing, the mills are we'll Occu-
pied with orders ahead exports
of woolens and wooden apparel,
formerly so trivial, are now a dis
tinct feature of the outbound ship
ments," and promise. from pres
ent indications. TO show a total of
more than $5O.OOO,OOO in value for
the present fiscal year, which is
over 10 times the amount of such
exports in any year preceding the
war"
The big newspapers except on
their editorial pages, perhaps, are
all full Of the enormous gains in
the business OF the country, the
strength of our financial institu-
tions. the abundance of profitable
employment for labor, the wide eX-
tension OF credit where it has al
ways been most needed and the
steadily Frightening prospects of
industry throughout the nation.
Why make any change in the con-
troll OF the political affairs Of the
government? What could the coun-
try expect to gain by it? An ad-
ministration that has made the
United States the money center OF
the world, that has stuffed the
banks with gold. that has provided
against the danger OF financial
panics. that has given both lenders
and borrowers "a square deal,
that has taken the treasury out of
politics. that has only had in view
efficiency in the public service, Is
surely entitled 10 the confidence of
the people and their support
against all the special interests now
appealing to them for their votes,
not in their interest but with the
hope of renewing the impossible
conditions that were driving this
country inevitably to bankruptcy
and revolution.

 MONEY CAMPAIGN
Young Women F:;l to Get Full Amount But Are Joyful at Having Done as
 We'll as Possible

The Y. w. c. A. rally last night was the scene of very real and deep rejoic- ing when the final returns for the cam paign same in. and the clock was shot around to S3,9S7.35-a gain of over a thousand dollars from the day before within five minutes of the announce ment ot this sum. 1t was made up to a round s4000. It is true that this is 5000 short from the sum aimed for. but it was a generous gain for the last twenty four hours. and the workers feel very happy over their success, and grateful to the citizens of Phoenix The deficit in amount will mean some cur tailment of the work, but it is hoped that, while the campaign is closed some more gifts may be received from few friends of the association, whom the over worked team members have not yet had time to call upon.
 The house and grounds of the Y. w. C. A. building were tastefully decorat- ed in keeping with the Valentine sea son, hundreds of gay red hearts being strung on every curtain and tree and chandelier, as well as being made into Valentines for distribution to the guests. Each heart bearing clever rhymes about the Y. w. C. A. and it's rlace in the hearts of it's members. The committee in charge of the arrange ments and decoration was composed of Mrs. R. B. Dodds, assisted by Mrs. Dameron, Miss Daniels, Miss Stubbs, Miss Stacy, Miss Eleanor Boyakin Miss Rookie and other girls from the residence hall.
 The program was held out of doors, as planned: the clear. warm evening might have been specially planned for such gathering. Miss Edith Evans, the president of the association. pre- sided, and sneeches were delivered by Judge Stanford. Dr. Gillespie. Mrs John Denne't. Miss Blanche Campbell. the general secretary. Mrs. Walker, Miss Bernice Eggleston, as well as a speech of thanks made bv Mrs. J. c. Brooks cn behalf of the board to the people and press of Phoenix for their generous support. Rev. c. c. Jones closed the evening with congratulatory , remarks and later delivered the bene- diction.

Whereas, The big meat, packers of the United States are largely in control of stock yards, and the terminal facili- ties thereat; of the slaughter and dis tIipution of cattle, sheep hogs. and poultry. and the products thereof, in- cluding hides; of tanneries and the products therefrom: of many of the articles made from horns and hOofs, including glue, buttons, combs, etc; of cot,onseed oil mills and refineries, the products of which are used in the manufacture of lard compounds, soap, and various oleo products; and
 Whereas, They also largely control the prices of fertilizers, with which the fertility of the farms of the nation is maintained; ard
 Whereas, They also largely own and control the refrigerator cars and icing facilities used in the transportation of fruits, vegetables, and other perishable products; and
 W hcreas, lE many localities of pro- ductiOn they control the price paid for, and the distribution of, fresh and can ned fruits, and are thus able to influ- ence the effect of supply and demand, anG to cause. violent fluctuations in prices, tC the great detriment of the producer and without benefit ts the consumer; and
 Whereas, Such control, as recited above, gives those possessing it prac tical monopoly of the marketing of gOo0s and other necessities of life, and is d menace to our country; therefore be it
