CONGRESS ASKED
To INVESTIGATE
RESERVE SYSTEM
Gov. Harding, With Melons
Approval, Makes Request,
In Order to Prove Or Dis
prove Charges.

Washington. July 19.-Governor
Harding, of the federal reserve
load, with the approval of Sec
Ietary Mellon, has asked con-
gress to investigate the operations
of the board and the reserve sys-
tenn, and Chairman McFadden, of
the house banking and currency
committee, today introduced
resolution to carry out the re-
quest.
The investigation proposed
would embrace every detail of the
activities of the board, its 70
banks and it's branch banks over
the period of delation," or about
the last IS months. according to
Mr.. MCFadden. He said, if the
house approved of his program.
he would tackle the job immedi-
ately, taking in what he described
as "a mass of charges and accuSa-
lions of determinations coming
mostly from the south and west"
There have been numberless
attacks on the board and the
banks" he said. at is my idea
that If there is truth in them,
appropriate legislation should fol-
low, and If they are groundless,
then the board most certainly is
entitled to a clean bill"
Mr. McFadden said his resolu-
ton proposed to bring forth an
explanation of the boards rulings,
its Interpretation Of the laws under
which it operates, and the methods
it has employed in dealing with
member banks.
Governor Harding's letter to Mr..
McFadden touched on speeches
by John SHELTON Williams, former
comptroller Of the currency, at
lacking the boards policies and
action. Mr.. Harding stated he be-
lieved that in view of Mr.. Williams
former official position, his state
ments should be Investigated.
A resolution to direct" Presi-
dent Harding to remove all mem
bers Of the federal reserve board
and appoint new members, was in
troduced today by Senator Watson,
democrat, Georgia. 1t prescribed
that the new members not "mere
assiduous scrvitors OF the Morgan,
steel, packers and other interests"
The resolution charged the board,
through unlawful contraction of
money and other policies, with
having INFLICTED irreparable loss of
S31 ,000,000,000 upon the helpless
American DeOple"

JUNIPER TREES
LIVE FOR MANY
CENTURIES HERE

1.-TWO hundred and thirty years
is long time in the life of man.
To a tree it Is only an incident"
says Quincy Handles, of the local
district office Of the forest service.
Mr.. Randles, one of the technical
foresters in this district, writes
from the Sitgraves forest in Ari-
IONA, where he is engaged on
two months field trip making an
intensive numbering study of that
forest.
Among the many factors, ac-
cording to Handles, that are con-
sidered by a forester in making
the working plans for a timber
tract over a number of centuries,
Is the rate of tree growth. This
rate determines to a large degree
the amount of timber that can be
removed in logging each year or
through period of years.
Randles' figures on large num-
Der of trees that he has studied
during the past two weeks on the
Apache Lumber company's opera
ton on the Sitgreaves forest have
just been received in Albuquerque.
MANY Of the trees measured are
mere youths as trees CO." says Mr..
Randles For instance, take this
one-S0 years old with diameter
of IS inches just above the ground.
That is the best growth so far re-
| corded in this study. A good two
foot sawlog in 80 years Is all a
forester could ask or want in yell
low pine.
NOW this one, 260 years old but
the measurement at the same
height is but 4 Of an inch better
than our S0-year stripping. That
means poor soil, less light, more
competition, fire perhaps. The
seed from which grew that tree, "
said Randles. "fell to the ground
just shortly after the Pueblo re-
bellion that swept this region about
1880 and 1t has taken until today
to become a fair tree for the lum-
berjack.
Even matter of ESQ years
means little to real giants among
trees such, for instance, as the
California redwoods that span a
period Of thousands of years. Even
in our southwest we have the al
ligator juniper that frequently
tops 500 to 1000 years before Civ
ing up the ghost. And after that, v
concluded Mr.. Randles, at may live
another thousand as a viga In an
Indian pueblo. for the wood Is one
of the most rot-resitant We have"

Arizona are suffering from drouth.
according to information recently
received at the district forest serv-

most severe in the vicinity of Grand

cattlemen have been forced to ship
water on the railway to as near a

In several places springs, which
