OWEN AND THE RESERVE SYSTEM

Senator Owen continues to criticise with great
severity the rulings OF the federal reserve board
with respect to rediscount rates In particular and
many other actions OF that body In general
We do not want TO appear captious, but we
wonder IL It has ever occurred to the senator
that In indictng the federal reserve system he
is indicting himself and his views with respect
to national finance? The senator has claimed
full authorship OF the federal reserve system
and that honor has been very generally accorded
him for several years.
II the system has not worked satisfactorily In
practice. then the conclusion that 1t was origin
ally faulty In detail can scarcely he escaped 1t

decisions Of the governing board when in Great

broadcst latitude vested In that board.
The writer, claiming no occult power and en-
trely too modest to attempt to qualify as "A
financial expert, has never accepted the federal
reserve system at advertised value. When the
senator some years first came among Okla
homa bankers to explain the new law in detail
the writer was privileged to meet and hear him
sundry occasions; and at that time vcnturcd

stress It had ever known,
And because OF precisely the thing the SEN
ator now inveighs against. For 1t was clear
that the cupidity OF man, not by any means
confined to the banking fraternity would sooner
or later seek to use the "easy money" features
OF the system to their full. That was done
during the period Immediately following the
