Government ProfIteerina

Last year. according to the testi
mony of Gov. Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board, the earning of the re.
serve banks represented return OF
10 per cent on their capital stock.
For the present year the earnings are
estiated at 100000. 900, which will be
in excess of the profits of last year.
Here is a government utility. created
solely for the purpose of providing an
easier system of financial credits, put
ting tax upon the people of $780,
100000 year. That huge sum is
paid by member banks in the shape
of interest on loans. and is promptly
passed on to the public as another ad.
dition to the high cost of living. Is
there any wonder that an investiga.
tion of the administration of the Fed
eral Reserve Act will soon be under
taken by Congress?
