convention on the effect of the trans

roads. He asserted that general bank

The new rates, he said further. will

to give added assurance to investors
that early maturities will be account

volying fund, provided by the law for
rail equipment loans, also was praised
as benefiting the rehabilitation OF

The federal reserve system is here

stallation address. If, instead of
complaining about it, he said, bank
ers would work together for its grad

would be doing a public service.
Banks members of the federal

burden of supporting the reserves of
this country, while non-mem Der bank

more profitable to do So"
Mr.. McDougal reminded the bankers
that the depressing influence of our
present system of taxation, which, if
continued, will do more harm than
good. 1T kills enterprise and initia-
tive he said.
The labor problem also was touched
on by Mr.. McDougal. Remember"
he warned. that one of our main
problems today is the labor problem.
We can have no material prosperity
on a permanent. sound basis. until
this question is definitely settled"
From now on" he declared. every

DOUBTS UTILITY BOARD
CAN FIX RATE OF RETURN

When the Public Utilities Commits
sion resumes the hearing tomorrow
morning on the petition of the Wash
ington and Georgetown Gas Light
companies for an increase in the
price of gas William NICK. Clayton of
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tiens will argue that the commission
has no authority in law to fix def
mite rate of return on the value OF
the companies property.
Mr.. Clayton will contend that Con-
gress alone has the right to say
whetheI the utilities of the District
shall earn a 6, Z or per cent return
on their physical valuations.
Whether the petition for an increase
from $125 to S1.44 Tor a thousand
cubic feet Of gas is to be granted
hinges on the rate Of return. The
companies contend they are entitled
to per cent on the value OF their
property. which would necessitate the
increase asked for. At present the
companies are supposed to earn per
cent on their fair value.
The attorney for the federation also
will contend that the commission
should raise the rate of 20 cents per
thou sand cubic feet now paid by the
United States government for gas.
He will contend it is discriminatory
rate. and, therefore. violation OF the
utilities act.
It is expected the hearings will be
concluded tomorrow afternoon. The
commission will then have approx
imately ten days in which to reach a
decision, since the existing rate expires
with this month.

Getting Results Out of Bank Ad-
vertising' was the subject of an ad-
dress to the bankers convention to-
day by Raymond f. Jones, first vice
president of the Bank of the Man.
haitian Company of New York city.
Mr.. Jones is one of the youngest of
the big bankers at the convention.
Mr.. Jones called attention to the
fact that:
1t is necessary for each bank to
advertise it's own individuality if 1t
is to grow and thrive.
Teaching Thrift Not Enough.
Teaching thrift is all very well,
but teaching thrift will never be 100
per cent effective until each individ-
ual bank will offer it's public the con-
crete channel through which to ex-
ercise thrift.
THE public is so constituted that 1t
uals. or at least the personality of a
corporation or a business life.
81 am firmly convinced that a great
part at least of the success in placing
liberty bonds was the consciousness of
the public of that established person
ality-Uncie Sam.
1.-THE merchant has learned his les
son and We bankers should take pat
tern by the advertising practice of the
commercial world.
THE more banking, as a service, Is
advertised the more necessary is it for
each bank to establish its individuality
and bring the public to its counter.
Not Always Effective.
Speaking of my own bank. we do not
believe that the advertising of specific
service is always effective.
I'VE find that our type of customers
take it for granted that we can supply
any service that any other bank can.
Failure to recognize this fact is the
reason why SO much bank advertising
is ineffective in the main.
"All true advertising is news. There
is a delicate line to be drawn there and
it must be drawn by each bank indi-
vidually."
Mr.. Jones asserted that every bank
hoped for 100 per cent returns from
its advertising. To get this it is neces-
sary to crystalline it's own personality
and put it before the community; to
work out its follow-up advertising, as
no two banks can attack exactly the
same proposition in exactly the same
way.

GRAVE DANGERS SEEN

Prof. Irving Fishers plan to stabil-

as prices fall or rise was adversely

commission of the American Bank
ers' Association. After years
study, the commission found that the
