Washington News Letter

So much for what the federal re-
serve board thinks about labor and
TIE cost of living. Their, is word to
add about what Glenn f. Plumb,
spokesman for the railroad brother
hoods, thinks about the federal re-
serve board.
1t appears that the reserve banks
had power during the war 10 ad-
vance cash 10 individuals and firms
that had contracts 'EI,h thc govern
rlent. Uncle Sans promise to pay on
the delive:y Of commodities olokrj
ltt pretty good collateral
So, every contractor formed the
thrifty habit, il is 1a,d Of running tc
federal reserve banl: and pawning
lila new government contract for
rs much Not cash rs he could get
for it. And the banks were liberal. The
theory was that when the treasury
paid for the anticipated goods the
reserve banks would taka the coin and
cancel the private loan.
And that is what they did in many
instances, there is no doubt.
But the war came 10 an end more
or less suddenly. And right up to Nov.
II, 1918, when the armistice was
signed, the war, navy and other de.
partments went on letting contracts
A week later the same departments
were cancelling their contracts,
And they cancelled huge number
of contracts on which firms and in.
dividuals had gone to the banks and
borrowed money. They were bent on
saving money for their own depart
ments, and that is the way they did
Il.
The contractors had the cash, tho
federal reserve banks had the paper
contracts, and the departments didn 7
want the goods delivered That is still
the way matters stand.
No less than $1,5OO,OOO,OOO Of publ,
money has been issued by the fedora
reserve banks on government con
tracts that have been cancelled an,

who have attempted survey of tn

But il by chance should come, we should certainly
keep our weather eye fixed upon the State of Kansas
We have hitherto called attention to the new law OF that
State prohibiting strikes. Now we observe that Gov
ernor Allen says that "the Kansas laws will be en-,
forced and that in case of need he purposes to "fnd
out whether there is man. or a set of men, bigger
than the laws Of this State.' So let someone start

How Diphtheris Is Contracted

One often hears the expression, my
child caught a severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscept-
able to the wandering diphtheria
germ: If your child has a cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him
of the street until fully recovered, as
there is a hundred times more danger
OF his taking diphtheria when he has
q cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-

ing contracted.
