UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Bankers
from all important cities were to
meet here today with the federal re-
serve board to devise new policies,
governing interest and discount rates.
The federal reserve boards letter
of invitation to the meeting pointed
out that New York clearing banks re,

cally advanced one-quarter OF one
percent each time the New York fed

half percent of its discount rate.
This practice, according to officials,
practically resulted in the neutraliza.
ton of the purpose of the federal re-
serve bank in changing its rates. 1t
tended to draw more money into prt-
vate banks which in turn became
available In almost the same ratio as
the funds of the Federal reserve
banks were curtailed, for loans.
Warning From Harding.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Governor
Harding, of the federal reserve
noted bankers, in conference here,
that further increase in discount
rates of federal reserve banks is a
| contingency which must be reckoned
with"
This was taken to mean that the
government is nearly ready to con-
tract credits and put brake on
speculation to bring business back to
a peace time standing.
1t would mean, officials say, that
I the nations currency, vastly inflated
during the war. would be contracted.
This initiation has been called the
main cause of the high cost of living.
Harding made no mention OF the
| high cost of living problem, treating
| the matter only from banking
standpoint.
Harding emphasized that the fed
eral reserve board is in no mood to
fix its discount rates with respect to
amy increase that banks themselves
may make in the interest rate which
they pay on deposits.
| I'VE see no reason" said Harding,
why an advance in federal reserve
/ rates should bring about an increase
I III PIisdiS rates.
| Harding made this point because
New York banks advanced interest
rates under an agreement among
themselves whenever the federal re-
tserve bank advances it's discount
rates. This attracts money to the
New York banks and practically null
lifies the aims Of the federal reserve
bank in advancing Its rates, officials
/ say.
Immediately after Harding CON
lcluded, the bankers went into execu-
tive session to decide how uniform
rates may be obtained William
Woodward OF New York, was chosen
chairman.
Harding emphasized that the ma
tons private financing must get back
! to peace time basis
During the war" he said, I'VE
adopted rate policies which will not
stand the acid test Of peace time.
i The secretary Of the treasury now
has notified the board that the float
ing debt of the government has been
$50 reduced that aid is no longer
necessary in the form of artificial
rates to insure the success Of the
government financing.
I'VE now therefore have turned

Don't fail to see Tom Mix, the cow
puncher star, invincible in fight, ire
sistibIe in love, whose latest Fox pic
ture, The Speed Maniac" closes with
today's showings at the Hippodrome
theatre This production marks an
other Mix success and has played to
crowded houses, proving that Mix
fans in this city are increasing daily.
The auto race, Mix's brave defense
of the lame child, his rescue Of a
baby and a lovely girl-these alone
would make the piece worth seeing.
How Mix manages to escape with
his life in some Of the stunts he does
is a puzzle to many of his admirers;
but they simply fail to comprehend
the steadiness Of his nerve and the
brain work he applies to his feats.
Tomorrow, matinee and night, one
of the most powerful dramas OF the
screen Is "As a Man Thinks" Also
latest Pathe News. Regular prices
Colonial.
Inch by inch, toward the edge Of a
cliff on a deserted island, two men,
a white man and an Indian, advance
They are fighting for love and for life.
The girl, who crouches at one side,
is hoping, hoping, praying that one
of them will win.
! This is one Of the dramatic scenes
in "A Fight for Love" which comes
to the Colonial theater on Wednesday.
And Harry Carey's fight is good
one. He clears himself of a charge Of
murder and OF unlicensed whiskey
trading and earns the big reward that
his enemy covets.
Z. B. Lewis and Jack Ford, seen
ario writer and producer, respectively,
should both pat themselves on the
back for this achievement. The
scenes are wonderfully beautiful as
well as thrilling, and the cast Of
harry Carey, Neva Gerber, Nicola May
and Joe Harris is superb.

is very obvious that from this large number of women teachers there is bound to come the exceptional one en- 6owed with executive capacity for ham, ding a county superintendency or even the position of state superintendent of public instruction.
 "Whenever exceptional ability is so recognized that a strong Democratic county will elect and then re-elect a Republican woman to be their super intendent of schools, it certainly shows that the voting people of that county, whose interest in their children's wei fare is greater than their interest in political parties, have recognized ability.
 Practically all of our state officials are elected after demonstrating their worth in county positions. Because of her success in Cochise county, the sec ond most populous county in the state of Arizona, it Is believed that the peo- pie of Arizona will elect Miss Elsie ToleS as superintendent of public in struction. She is making a nice cam paign in a womanly manner; is mak- ing a splendid impression in meeting people generally; and, in addition, on the platform addressing the voters of the state, she has a pleasant, forceful manner of quickly putting her case be- fore the public, as she answers the three requisites of a public speaker:
 The ability to stand up, say some thing, and sit down."

CHANDLER, Oct. 22.-In a hotly contested game of basketball on the local high school court the Gilbert team defeated the Chandler team for the second time by the score of 19 to IS.

an offense to wear not only tfc lni- form, but any distinctive part of it without being a member of the army and the attention Of the officials in Phoenix has been brought to a gen. eral sighting of the law in this city, it was said yesterday.
 While due consideration is to be given those who have just left the ser vice and who are entitled to wear the uniform for certain stipulated time. officials declared yesterday that they are going to wage war against those who are wearing the uniform without any semblance of right to it, and who, far from having just left the service have never been in it. A particular mark of disrespect being shown the uniform, officials say. is wearing it as part of ones working clothes, a prac- tice which is said to be very prevalent in this city.

All of these states are progressive western states and their school systems are rated much higher than those of the East ands South
