Then another proposition that
should be given serious consido~-
ton, is the tendency of politicians
20 get and hold control Of the
management of these banks. They
should be managed by representa-
tivcs Of the owners of the stock
in these banks, in other words, by
practical bankers instead of being
largely dominated by politician
think too that there are TOO
many institutions. The number
should be at least cut in two.
There should be a closer co-opera-
ton among the various Federal
Reserve Banks and something near
a general policy agreed upon H.
the management Of all OF them.
AS it is now they are all absolute
y independent institutions and the
policy of each is different from the
other banks.
Regarding our own experience
with the Kansas City Bank, will
say that we have not had a great
amount of difficulty in borrowing
from them. They are perfectly
right in demanding liquid paper
upon which to base the currency
of the country and they are alSC
within their rights when they de-
mand that paper be put in legal
form. In that respect. howevcr,
we find that their Discount Com
mittee appear to be entirely 90
technical in raising various objec
tions to paper offered for discount.
hat is N small matters that have
no bearing on the legality Of the
paper and only serve to irritate
member banks who offer paper for
discount which is in reality in cv-
cry way eligible an d legally in
good form. For instance, you take
take their ruling that tehy will
not accept paper bearing an en-
dorsement Without Recourse cv-
en- though the paper is A No. |
and in every way eligible for dis
count. Such an objection as that
seems really silly. | have made
inquiry Of two Federal Reserve
Banks on this point and find that
they pay no attention to such am
endorsement providing he paper
is in every way eligible under
their law and their rulings. We
find also that they decline to dis
count paper payable to an indi-
vidual and purchased by us. term
it Finance Paper
Finance Paper is defined as
paper purchased of brokers. We
purchase no paper whatever
from brokers and | doubt if any
bank in Wyoming does unless it
would be occasionally commercial
paper. The paper which we han
die and which they term 'Finan-
ce Paper is bought from country
banks. 1t has been taken to an

and guaranteed by him to us. This
was done largely to eliminate

BRITAIN FACES MEAT GLUT
Importers Complain Against vegeta.
rian Tendency, Caused by the
World War.

London.-E ngllshmen used TO be
considered the greatest meat eaters
In the world.
Now, declares the Society Of Meat
Importers, the average Englishmnn
eats 33 per cent less meat than he did
before the war. Unless he can he
induced to eat more Of 1t, the country
will be faced with such glut Of meat
as II has never had before.
The annual consumption of meat In
the United Kingdom before the war
was about 1,SOOo00 tons, say the i'm
porters. II Is now only 100000 tons.
And this, they contend, Is due largely
to the high cost still maintained. Eng.
lish,nen and Englishwomcn, too, are
just as fond of meat as ever, but they
cannot afford to eat as much Of II a.
they used to.
