FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
CRITICIZED BY WILLIAMS
Does Not Agree With Policy of In
discriminately Raising In
terest Rates.

Washington, Aug. 3.-John Skel-
ton Williams, former comptroller of
the currency, appeared today before
a joint congressional commission
considering agricultural problems,
with the declared purpose of criticiz-
ing administration OF the federal re-
serve banks. Governor Harding, of
the federal reserve board, sat in the
audience.
81 did not agree with the policy of
the reserve board in indiscriminately
raising interest rates in 1919," Mr..
Williams said, "nor, did I agree with
it previously in a policy of making
prodigal advances to institutions in
the east, to the disadvantage of the
west and south.
81 found that the board in 1918
was advancing directly and indirect
ly a total of S130,00O,0OO to a
single institution in New York City
Mr.. Williams read statistics which
he said showed New York, Chicago,
and other city banks were getting
more reserve loans than all the coun-
try banks at the period. Mr.. Mills
asked that he present 1921 figures,
too, and Mr.. Williams promised to
do so.
The New York Reserve bank, Mr..
Williams said, always was a tremen-
dous borrower, "to the extent of
four times it's capital, for use in spec
Hlative operations and promotions" F"

DUE WEST SCHOOL CASE
DECIDED BY HIGHER JUDGES

The Supreme Court of the state
filed twenty eight opinions at the
conference held in Columbia Mon
day afternoon. Of these only one is
of local interest, that Of W. S. Cor
don and ]. E. Hagen against J. R.
Bell and others, as trustees of the
Due West School District.
In this case Hagen and Gordon,
who lived in an adjoining school dis
trict, sought to send their children to
the public schools in Due West dis
district refused to allow them
to attend. They sought relief in the
courts and Judge Frank B. Gary
granted a restraining order enjoin-
ing the trustees of the Due West dis
ret from excluding the children of
the complainants from the Due West
school. After notice, the trustees of
the Due West school applied to
Judge Gary for an order setting
aside his former order, basing the
motion on the ground that children
from one school district could not be
transferred to another school dis
trict without the consent of the trus-
tees of the district to which they
were to be transferred. Judge Gary
after hearing argument granted the
motion.
Hagen and Gordon then appealed
to the Supreme Court, and the case
was argued during the last term of
that court. The opinion in the case
is written by Associate Justice Watts,
but copy has not yet been received,
so that the grounds of his decision
are not known, further than that it
is reported by the clerk of court that
the judgment is affirmed.
The decision is not now of great
Importance as the last legislature
passed a law dealing with the subject
of the transfer of pupils from one
district to another, and the statutes
before the court for construction in
the Hagen and Gordon case have by
il been repealed.

icies and for the immortality of trying
to break down State banks have been
removed from power.
"Even if there were any ground on
which to attempt to uphold their cut
ting off of the food supply to the
business interests of the country,
and the determined effort to break
down prices, there could not be
possible question as to the immorali-
ty of seeking by the most drastic
means to violate all good faith and
honor of the country by endeavoring
to wreck the banks. chartered by diff
ferent States merely because they
refused to yield to the dictates of the
men in charge of the Federal Re-
serve Board. This in itself not only
justifes but demands in the interest
of the morality of the country and of
business integrity and honor an
elimination from power of every man
responsible in part or in whole for
that work.
"The national sickness is not mere
ly the sickness of a comparatively
few thousand, or even perhaps hun
dred thousand pellagra victims Of
this deflation and immoral work of
the Federal Reserve Board. 1t is a
sickness of the entire country. It is
a sickness which has closed thousands
of factories, which has kept hundreds
of thousands of idle freight cars on
the tracks, which has thrown out of
employment five million or more
men eager and anxious for work in
order to support their families. 1t is
a sickness which has closed thousands

Of the products of the farm and fac

largely exceeding. $25,O0O,OOO, 1000.
The sum is far greater than the ac-
tual cost Of the war to this country.
Moreover, the war stimulated
some lines of business and created
employment for men. This fearful
destruction of values has entirely
swept out of existence, never again
to come back to the people who have
lost it, this $25, 100000 of value.
It has created poverty in the indus
trial circles of the North and West
and South; poverty in the cities and
on the farms; poverty for those who
were rich and increased poverty for
those who had but little of this

and hundreds of suicides. 1t has
brought about an increase in sickness
in all parts of the land many, many
times greater than the reported sick
ness of pellagra in the South, even

South were far greater than the re-
port of the medical authorities would

The Plain Truth.

The United States National Bank
of Portland in summing up the in
dus;rial situation in its Business Di,
.geSt says:
While it is true that most of our
basic materials can hardly be pro-
duced al a profit; it is also true that
products produced from these ma
terialS are so expensive that the con-
sumer cannot or will not buy. Fur
ther dehatiOn is necessary. Produc-
ton and distribution costs must come
down to a degree commensurate
with the reduction of the cost of raw
materials, Wages and transportation
are two of the important factors
which need revision. Wages in
many lines have been reduced as far
as is practical until the cost of living
drops further, but in other lines there
must be a downward turn, notably in
building lines and in railroading. A
willingness on the part of labor off,
cials to urge their men to accept
work at a wage proportionate to the
value of what they produce, would
start building program which would
absorb the unemployed.
