Opposition to State Reserve
Banking System Explained.
Renders No Service Not AL
ready Rendered, They Claim.
"A BANK FOR STATE BANKS"
One More Place for Duties Ac-
cOmplished Right Now.
Would Divorce Institutions
From Federal Reserve.

The state reserve banking system,
proposed in a bill before the state
legislature, responds to no public need
and renders no public service not al
ready well rendered, according to an
analysis of the measure written by the
legislative committee of the Kansas
State Bankers association. The analy-
sis is being used by legislators in OPP
position to the bill, and bankers in an
effort to defeat its passage in either
the house or senate.
The analysis compares the Kansas bill
with the federal reserve system, say
ing the latter was devised to protect
the interests of the public: to forever
put an end to panics and to safeguard
the country in times of financial stress.
The Bank of Kansas" the bankers
legislative committee contends would
simply be "a bank for state banks;
one more place for banks to deposit;
one more place where banks may Dor
row and rediscount, and one more
channel thru which a bank may clear
its items" All these things. it is
argued, are well provided for already.
Fail to Function.
After reviewing the advantages of
the federal reserve system, the legis-
lative committee analysis says:

SPORT NOTES
TO FIGHT IN NEW YORK
jess Willard Will Meet Dempsey There
if Boxing Bill Passes.

New York, Feb. 4.-Champion Jess
Willard may meet Jack Dempsey in
this city, providing the Gibbs boxing
bill passes the state legislature, it was
indicated by Tex Richard, fight pro-
moter, here today. Richard declared
that if the bill goes thru without the
stipulation limiting admission fees to
$40, there is a big chance that the
bout between Willard and Dempsey
will be staged.
He said he would not be averse to
holding the fight in a state where
only ten rounds were permitted if he
saw financial profit in prospect. The
promoter denied Dempsey had been
definitely selected as the champion S
opponent, but admitted he was the
best runner-up and logical candidate.

HOLD THEIR FAMILIES
Bolshevists Then Compel Officers To
Serve as Their Army Leaders.

ArchangeI. Feb. 4.-Advices to the
allied intelligence department reveal
some methods by which Bolshevists
have been able to organize their army
in such way as to make possible the
carrying on of a strong campaign in
northern Russia The principle of
these methods according to informa-
ton received from the Interior lies in
compelling the generals and staff of
flcers in the old Russian army to serve
the Bolshevists by holding their fami-
lies as hostages for the officers con-
duct. Cases have occurred of officers
families being placed under close ar
rest, the women being treated as badly
as the men.
1t is stated that the apparent in
crease in military strength has been
taken by many to indicate that Boil
shevist ideas are gaining favor with
the population, but this is by no means
true. The majority of the people are
anti-Bolshevist, but are afraid to ex-
press their opinions. The entire
strength of the Bolshevists, it is
aTerred, rests on their institution of
red terror

CAN SECURE PAY
Ruling Whereby Soldiers Will
Be Paid as Discharged.
Many Out With Only Part of
Their Money in Hand.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Thousands of
claims for additional pay by dis
charged soldiers whose records were
complete at the time they were mus
tered out may be settled speedily by
the war department under a ruling to-
day by the comptroller of the treas
ury to the effect that these claims are
to be readjusted without passing thru
the usual complicated auditing chan
nels. The directors of finance. of the
war department was authorized to adj
just the claims when a construction
of the law is not involved and the SOL
dier's right is clearly defined.
More than 5000 of these claims,
some of them four months delayed,
are on file with the auditor of the war
department and many others are in
the hands of the director of finance.
Hundreds of complaints have been re-
ceived from officers and men charg
ing that pay or compensation for ex-
penses was withheld unjustly 1t was
explained today that when a soldier

of records showing the exact amount
to which he is entitled.
Later ethese records become availa-
BILE, but the additional payment is not
made until the voucher for part pay
is cleared thru the auditor of the war
I department. This procedure often re-
quired three or four months, and dur
ing this time the soldiers final pay
ment is held up.
Now VIII Be Easier.
The comptroller's ruling today pro
vides a short cut in the procedure by
permitting the finance division of the
war departm ent to issue a supplem en-
tai statement to a soldier Immediately.
On this statement he can collect.
The director of finance of the war
department in letter made public to-
day, explained the former problem as
follows:
AS a result of the intensive cam
paign in which the army has been en-
gagged since the beginning of the war,
thousands of wounded and other sol
diers have returned from abroad with
out service records or other official
papers on Which proper payment to
them should be based. These men
have in many cases been discharged
and final statements issued to them
which included travel pay or partial
pay only. Many of them have pay
due for months. This office is espe-
cially DESTROYS of lending its aid in
every way possible to hasten the pay
ment of this class of soldiers

NO MORE CATARRH
A Guaranteed Treatment That Has
Stood the Test of Time.

Catarrh cures come and catarrh
cures go, but Hyomei continues to heal
catarrh and abolish its disgusting
symptoms wherever civilization exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific treatment
for catarrh grow greater, and the pres
ent year should show all records
broken.
If you breathe Hyomei daily as di-
rected, it will end your catarrh, or it
won't cost you a cent.
If you have a hard rubber Hyomei
inhaler somewhere around the house,
get it out and start it at once to for
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
The Rowley Drug Store, or any
other good druggist, will sell you a bot
tie of Hyomei (liquid), start to breathe
it and notice how quickly it clears out
the air passag es and makes the entire
head feel fine.
Hyomei used regularly should end
catarrh coughs. colds. bronchitis or
asthma. A complete outfit, including
hard rubber pocket inhaler and bot
tie of Hyomei, costs but little. No
stomach dosing; just breathe it.

Divorce Banking Power.

would completely and permanently
divorce all the banking power of all
Kansas stat banks and trust COM
panies from the federal reserve sys-
tenn
If such a system would be justified
in this state. it would be justifiable
in other states. it is pointed out,
thereby creating forty-eight independ-
ent state systems and creating the
very conflict which the federal sys-
tenn seeks to avoid. 1t is also as

banks
AS a depository of state funds, the
bankers committee argue that the
present system is more efficient than
the one proposed in a Bank of Kan
sas." Its value as a clearing house
is also doubted, and arguments are
set forth against it.
If the reserve state bank accepts
all items at par and gives immediate

sources would soon be totally over

volume of transit items in process of
